Insuring your original comic art collection is highly recommended, the major risks being fire, water flooding or theft. Most major insurance companies have an insurance department dedicated to collections. Some insurance companies are specialized in comic collection and comic art collection insurance. In some cases your homeowner insurance will insure the entire or part of your collection with or without limitations of liability and declared value. Contact them to check this point. In all cases, please carefuly read the list of exclusions to their coverage. Such exclusions may include gradual deteoriation (fading, creasing), insects, dampness, loss or damage while being worked on by you or others working on your behalf, etc. Check also if your insurance policy includes shipping or not. You should also consider keeping a record of all your purchases. Such inventory should include: nature of the art (description of the artwork: artist name, series, etc.), date of purchase, name of the seller, amount paid, form of payment, invoices copies (certificates or proofs of payment), scan or photography, photography of the framed art if relevant, a regularly updated valuation (mainly for insurance purposes, but it can also be helpful if something happens to you and your family has no idea of what your collection is worth.)
