Took some of my stuff to a safe deposit box. Snapped a pic before I left

[Scott L.]

Jason that’s an incredible collection!

I think I might go the fireproof gun safe route as well but I have logistics to figure out. I’m hoping the safe deposit box isn’t a long term thing.

a tad off-topic but I need to follow up on Insurance.
I know folks say cards are insured to & from shipping and etc.
I just like to have the extra assurance they are protected and what steps that are needed to follow and whats the best?

I have four safety deposit boxes filled with my best cards, which I've all scanned, so I can look at them whenever I like. It's inconvenient and pricey, but I sleep better. I also noticed the 1952 Topps card of Tony Bartirome, who looks out of place next to all those aces and heavy hitters. But I recall that one of his relatives is hording his cards, so it's probably a great investment.

Awesome collection!

Invested in safety deposit boxes and insurance years ago and it has given me a lot of peace of mind knowing my items are safe and sound.

Not one of his relatives, just a fraudster masquerading as one.

Thanks Scott. I’m pretty envious of that ‘52 Mantle of yours. I couldn’t make out the grade, but looks to be in the 4-6 range?

Insurance is definitely something I need to consider at some point. Kind of like an art collector. I keep saying I’m gonna look into it, but haven’t yet. Anyone know how to go about getting a card collection insured? What about cost?

First of all, those pictures of your guys' collections just warms my heart. Awesome pictures!

Secondly, I'd recommend one of these 2 companies for insurance. I use ACNA, but they're basic coverage plan does not cover insurance if I sell a card and send it to someone. The key is to thoroughly read the list of coverages to determine which plan is for you. You might also find previous threads on here with a few searches.

Thanks Jason. It’s actually a 1.5 that has a 4 front but a few spots of paperloss on the back.

Thanks CW for the insurance info. It’s something I need to look into as well. Standard homeowners I assume does not cover right? Need some kind of rider to your policy I suppose.

Yes, your standard homeowners might carry a trivial amount of coverage based on the cardboard porn you have shown. Your homeowners carrier would add the extra coverage, but I believe their prices are quite high compared to ACNA and CIS.

Highly recommend Collect Insure. Not that I've had to file a claim, but they are very easy to deal with and from what I know, very cheap.

[brianp-beme]

The cards, no, but I do own a very similar rug.

Terrific i keep my type expensive ones in the bank . Great cards

Great scans from the safe. Nice selection of cards.
Having kept my first (and more expensive) collection in a safe deposit box I skipped the insurance. I always say do what makes you sleep better at night.
