Over the last few months, after researching the ciollectibles insurance market, he has been meeting with The Hartford Co. (Hartford, Ct) proposing that they open a new division insuring baseball cards etc.......the last meeting they gave a tutorial to Hartford on PSA,( SMR, the registry, explanation of pop reports etc) ebay, VCP to show how there can be a up to date price guide , Net 54(primary purpose was to show interest in pre-war cards, number of people participating and viewing threads etc) SGC for obvious reasons etc.......my understanding is that Hartford is VERY INTERESTED in insuring collectibles, but probably only graded cards to begin with.....I will probably be the second customer (he will be #1)

I will try and get some further information as to when this will be available, cost etc but I believe they will be tying this in with VCP/PSA in some ways(at least that is in their plans from what I have heard. I imagine many people may be pleased with their present insurance but I imagine is as reputable as they come( no, I don't own stock in Hartford)

Just to add to this that Collectibles insurance agency has been around for 50 years. There coverage is with Loyd's of London so it doesn't get much better then this. Plus you won't have any restrictions like only grade cards, not sure that would be too useful as I am sure many of us have some raw cards as well and it would not make sense to have one insurance for the graded and one for the raw.

Also as mentioned above I would not trust my typical home owners even with a rider I think they will give you a hard time if you have to file a large claim.
