For those who have been in the military, they can contact NCOA and get their information for the collectibles. We have our insurance with them and had no problem with the $35,000.00 damage from our 1994 big earthquake for all of the different collectibles that were broken or damaged.

: collection

: Yikes! WFFs in Tornado Alley! (What kind of
: photo
: would Brenda make for that, I wonder?)
:
: Thank you, Mary O. Did you have a heart attack
: when you added up the value? I did. I received
: my WFF gifts for every occasion and played with
: them happily, never giving it much thought. They
: do add up, don't they?
:
: Does anyone have a contact for an independent
: collectibles insurer that they are happy with?

: We just insured ours two months ago. I have
: almost 250 and my husband said "No
: More" until I got these covered. We live in
: tornado alley. We have all of our insurance with
: State Farm, so we just added these on to the
: homeowners policy. They used another agency which
: specializes in collectibles so it may be slightly
: cheaper to find an insurance company that is
: independent, I don't know, we just wanted
: everything together. I don't really know how it
: works. We created a spread sheet on the
: computer. I just put in the name and number of
: each WFF and how much it cost to buy based on the
: most recent catalog I could find the price listed
: in. I have catalogs going back to 1988. If it
: wasn't in a catalog, I took the price off of the
: Master List, here. It took about a week to do all
: of this, but I thouroghly enjoyed doing it. When
: I called, our insurance company said to
: photograph the entire line ( I assume in groups,
: not individually) but then they said, no that was
: not necessary, to just bring in the spread
: sheets. I also took in an extra catolog and they
: put that in the file. I gave them the adress of
: this site, too, so they would have access to the
: Master List if necessary. I explained that some
: were gifts and many were bought on Ebay, so I did
: not have receipts. Based on $25,000 replacement
: value, knowing this was an estimated amount, we
: are charged $16.00 a month. Our homeowners policy
: would only cover up to $2500 of this.
:
: Hope this helps.

: Let me just say I know the insurance question
: gets
: asked over and over and people kindly answer over
: and over. I admit it. I didn't pay attention.
:
: Now we've just finished taking inventory and
: photos of my mice and ...holy cow!...I think I
: should insure them. Our homeowner's insurance
: company wants us to get an appraisal. How do you
: get an appraisal on retired pieces?
:
: So, here I am...beggin' ya...please post if you
: have insured your WFF and feel satisfied with
: your insurer. I will write it all down this
: time.
:
: In fact, I'll save it and re-post it when the
: next person asks!
:
: Thanks in advance.
