  1. I've seen them before. The guy at North Coast had some of his nicer books with them at the last Chicago show I went to. They were VERY thick and he said they were pretty pricey, but it was nice because you could get a good look at the book without have to pull them out of the mylar.

     

    Yes - the guy was having them custom made for his own use, but was going to stop because his supplier was raising his prices for the lucite. I bought a GA book off him at NYCC '11 partially just to get one of his cool boards.

  2. I have a related question here and hope it's the appropriate place. Can I specify a return insurance value that is different than the declared FMV? For example, say I want to submit a book which trades infrequently and which an experienced collector or auction house might fairly appraise at $3000 to $5000. To me it seems fair that I should declare the FMV at $3000 (to get the $95 submission fee), but insure for the high end of the estimate for the return shipping (same as I would insure for fire, flood or theft in my home). Does your submission form support this?

     

    Even if, say, $4000 is a "more fair" FMV, I might still want to insure for $5000, or even higher. This is my choice and I don't think "insurance value" should have to be tied to FMV.

     

    I asked this question over the phone and was told this is not supported. Just wanted to check one more time and perhaps get the rationale. Thank you.
