I've been with CI for many years. Only filed one claim - for a damaged painting - and they did pay out, though, only after some initial pushback. This was in 2013 and a comic art painting I consigned to Heritage was found to have paint cracking damage which either happened in transit or while in storage. It was my first (and only to date) claim, and I said I would walk if they didn't cover the damage as I told them there was no point in paying them if they weren't going to pony up to cover something like this after years of paying them thousands and thousands of dollars a year for coverage. In the end, they compensated me a fair amount for the damage (less than a year of my annual premium cost back then) and they've made their money back many, many times over at this point. I’m insured through CI on a dealer policy. Several years ago, my daughter’s dog was staying with us. I had propped a Robert McGinnis painting against a cabinet. The next day, the painting was gone, as in cleaned off the board. Turns out McGinnis used egg tempera in the paint, the dog smelled this, and licked the paint off down to the pencil underdrawing. I called CI and told them. It took a couple minutes for them to grasp what happened. They believed me as the story was so crazy, you couldn’t make that up. They did give me full value for the painting. I sent the painting to CI. McGinnis was amused. Will_K, Twanj, Rick2you2 and 8 others 1 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I never make another claim, the money was well spent. alxjhnsn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they distinguish between comics and art, but am not much of an art collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
