Storage Unit Insurance Questions

[minendo]

First of all, does such a thing exist? If so, who offers it?

I am in the process of moving in to temporary housing and won't have a lot of storage space. I'd like to store several items which are extremely valuable and take up a lot of space. These items include:

1. Baseball card collection (~500,000 cards plus complete sets since 1970)
2. Playboy collection (Complete collection since 1953)
3. Hess Trucks (since 1980)
4. Other valuables not limited to the above

What are my options?

Forget about it so they sell it off and we can see what you got on one of the various storage auction shows.

If you have homeowner's insurance or renter's insurance, your stuff in storage SHOULD be covered...within limits. Some of the things you listed MIGHT need a separate rider however. Talk to your insurance agent.

My renter's insurance specifically excludes collections.
