What is the best way to ship a very expensive item

Thanks for all the responses. I think I am going to eat the plane ticket and take it as a tax deduction and just enjoy meeting another extremely nice collector face to face. I agreed before the deal was finalized that it would be my responsibility to get the items to him and basically figured several hundred dollars of the price into the final amount so I am not really out anything.

As to answer a few of the other questions, the items are some 19th century correspondances between baseball players/owners and a 98% complete prewar baseball card set.

My biggest concern is what Josh stated. I feel like even if something happened to the package with full insurance and I filed a claim, they would never pay. It might be a one in a million chance that something happens to it, but if I am the one than I will badly regret my decision. I wish the trip was to Florida, but at least I like the midwest!

Thanks Again for all the insight.
