Should I insure my comic books?

As with any type of hobby when you have something of value; artwork, glassware, comic books; this is something that you need to consider insuring. Sometimes your home-owners insurance may cover some of the contents of your home if there's say a flood, a fire, a theft, but these are always things you need to check with your insurance agencies as well as your attorneys to see if your specific policies will cover your collections. Other than that there are specialized insurance policies that you could obtain for your collectables; for your comics, your baseball cards, your stamps. Some of them are as easy as just saying I have this comic book collection, worth this amount, and you don't necessarily have to specify the specific comic books, you just have to be able to prove in fact you own the comic book and that will cover theft, damage by flood, and by fire. And when you're talking about it from an investment standpoint, if you have thousands and thousands of dollars of comics: this is something you seriously want to look into.
