Okay added the FF12, a few TTA and KS#1 Just for "that" cover, to balance the line up. Hows that, is that the major keys covered now ?

+1 Awesome pic! Agreed. Most of the keys are present. Thanks guys, what others do you think I shoud have included ? FF12 Okay, does anyone else want to add to FF12 and I will take another photo tomorrow.

Thierry Henry played snooker??? Thierry Henry ? I thought he meant Henry Cooper, then I realised how hard it is to hold the cue with those gloves.

Those have eerily similar covers. Haha

Those have eerily similar covers. Two of my favorite books and I never noticed that.

Here a Hulk pic to make up for my earlier off topic ramblings.

Hey Neil

Wow, I would be embarrassed to get mine out now. Oops, I am sure someone will have this in the Out-of-context thread

Wow, I would be embarrassed to get mine out now.

Aw come on ! thats gotta be a joke.

Well my main room has a lock on the door and if you went through that most are not in boxes so would be hard to carry. Apologies that this thread has went so far

Just so cute. (thumbs u

Their is nothing set up in the UK to make this easy. A home insurance policy wouldn't do. A friend of mine with a less than comparable collection asked a company for a quote years and was told £40 a month. How do you prove what you have or what value it is, if you were thinking along those lines ? I have 3 rooms of comics + loft + garage. Even I am not sure what I have anymore as I cant get access to the loft without spending large amounts of time sorting through boxes for sets I completed years ago and stored. I normally leave my wallet and other valuables in easy view in the hope a burglar grabs them and runs and doesn't even go upstairs. USAA asked me for a list of anything that was valued at more than 1000$. All the other books I have fall under my blanket policy. I have around 40,000 or something in coverage. (when I say that I set it up I mean my wife) They said that all we had to do was give them an estimate of the value for the stuff under 1000$ book. If we need to file a claim we just tell them what it was that the claim is for. If it happens to be a 1000$ book then we show them the scans of the book along with GPA data to prove the price on it. All my 1000$+ books are slabbed so that is not an issue for me. I do have several 300-800$ books that are raw but like I said all they ask for is the estimate on those if we need to file a claim. For transit damages you just provide them with photos of the damage from the mail and a receipt from wherever you bought it. For my sketch covers its the same thing I usually pay with a CC so that I can show the cost of the sketch since there is no real hard data out there on these. I have group shots/scans uploaded on a lot of my comics already that are high dollar. So I am not to worried about it. Plus USAA is a great company my friends car got busted into this year and they stole his wallet. USAA asked him how much cash was inside it and he told them 300$ so they sent him a check for 300$ and paid for the damage to the car. Along with the computer and phone that were stolen. That sounds like the way to go. I wonder how the homeowners policy is connected through them, is there a parent company? Here the big safe deposit box I checked on was 10"x10"x22", so slabs would be a tight fit. I was figuring on pulling them all out and storing in my normal BCE boxes, which are about 11x11x8" I think. That wouldn't fit, so if I find a box like that the Mylars will have to be arranged at an angle. I very rarely sell comics so have little or no knowledge of value or grades of books I bought years ago. I am only looking at values of whats in front of me when I am buying. I have lots of duplicates from years of upgrading and I dont know the condition of 80% of my collection as I had the info stored on PC but a virus killed it. My collection is 40 years old and I probably still own 99% of everything I have ever bought. I have at best guess upwards of 75000 comics. I only have about 400 slabs as I only collect Signatures series and stuff I cant find raw. To work through all of these, trying to work out what is worth what, is just not practical for me as I work full time. I guess I will just have to continue to take my chances.

How big is a safety deposit box ?

Its a nice book, but thats some price. Wow.

My stuff is out in the open,just have to get passed me to get it. Thats something I worry about, I work long weird shifts and my house can be left empty for extended periods as my lass is away regular also. My house is alarmed and in a quiet cul-de-sac but its still a concern. If someone robbed me and I found out who it was, I would be in jail for the rest of my life.

How's it going Gaz? Hope all's well mate. (thumbs u Hi Gav

One of my biggest regrets as a kid is that I didn't have enough cars. If I didn't have so many comics I would love to set up a track in my spare room and get something like this. Great find, I am very jealous.

Are they updates of these, reprints of these or something different.
