Separate Insurance Policy - LP's, Memorabilia, Etc

Afternoon All,

I was recently informed by my homeowners insurance company that not a single LP, poster, etc. I own is covered under personal property replacement.

They suggested Lloyd's Of London, which is a little ridiculous, since I'm not a store or franchise.

Can anyone out there make a recommendation for a place that's reasonable? I don't have a gigantic collection, but I certainly have enough where I need this stuff covered in case something happens.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Chubb insurance is terrific for this sort of specialty item. They are expensive but worth it as I had occasion to discover when we had an unfortunate problem in our house. Not affiliated with the company but a very happy customer.

You should be able to get a " Rider " for your contents under your Homeowners Policy..I have had one for years and collected many years ago on a Audio Research SP-8 catching fire ( Telephone pole Transformer blew up on Xmas day ) and torching the unit...I called and had a check for $1200 with 2 weeks....

My State Farm agent told me that the only limit on art, albums, and stereo was the overall limit for personal belongings. They are not treated like jewelry and guns that do have limits. He said the trick is to have a good record of what you have and an appraisal on anything that is higher than normal in value.

I'll double check now that you 've brought it up though.
