I buy and sell Civil War letters, cards etc and normally ship Priority Mail. In the past I've asked for insurance and have received the same reply from the clerk - if it's paper you can't insure it unless you send it registered mail. A friend of mine says it's "ephemera" and they let her insure it. But she sends items book rate (or whatever they call it now). I say it's a collectible and that usually gets past them.
