I think considering those threads are dated 2007/08 and are in other sections of the forum that it's okay to keep and use this one here.

You were, and it's appreciated, thank you

It's just on this occasion, this thread is okay to be left me thinks.
Thanks for the suggestions though

Seeing the story about the unfortunate dude that had his collection stolen, I am pursuing getting all of my collectibles insured.

My homeowner policy includes $5,000 for comic books, but that's not nearly enough. I do not believe my policy includes collectible statues.

My question to fellow Canadian collectors:

1. If you had your collection appraised (my insurance company requires an appraisal), where did you get it done?

2. Where is the best place to get current valuation of your pieces? I know pretty well what my statues are worth, but how can I "prove" it?

I tried looking into insurance a while back but the insurance companies over here just have no idea . One of the disadvantages we have is the culture of collectibles isn't popular so even when you try explaining they look at you funny.

Never heard of toys being insured. Very strange that they would.

If you have domestic contents insurance at all then it's very strange that they wouldn't.
