Do any of you guys from the US insure your puzzles?
I am trying to figure out how to get some coverage on my home owners or some other type of insurance on my collection.

Store a copy of its receipt in a safe deposit box. Read your policy carefully, some require you to send a copy of the receipt and a certificate of possession or authenticity for anything over a certain value - including collections (collective value). I periodically go through my house with a video camera (quarterly), take a quick picture of everything with it, so if something is lost/stolen/broken/burnt down I can get it replaced easier by proof of possession.
OOOOOOOoo

Generally you can add itemized possessions to your home owners insurance for an additional cost. People frequently do this with high-end electronics, jewelry, or firearms. I don't know about collectibles because their value can be difficult to ascertain and may vary dramatically (up or down) over time. I would ask your insurance company about adding a rider to your policy for collectables. You may need to prove that you are taking steps to protect these items, for example in a safe or lock box.

If any of the others on here who have large collections would answer there thoughts I would be interested. I was wondering this as well.

I don't have any of my puzzles insured. But then again I'm not enough of a grown up to think about stuff like that.
