How to Insure a card collection??

I probably have over 30,000 cards that have been acquired over 40 years of collecting. While many of the star cards are graded, many are simply in very strong raw form. Again, I am not sure what documentation I can provide to demonstrate that I actually own all of the cards.


thanks

With CIS pretty sure that you need to keep your own inventory, which you would need with any insurance carrier.

As for documentation, I think they require scheduling items/sets that are individually more the $25K. Seems pretty reasonable.

Your best bet is to speak with them to be sure.
