wonder how his nft sales are going :P in other news, I bought a Tony Moore WD Cover today

Thx - I am a total newb to this - can you point me in the right direction to the registry notes section?

Ideally looking for 1-50 or 1-100 (I have a couple, but I wouldn't break a set I would just buy the entire run) -

man this got necro'd. You may have worked as an agent, but I have worked as an insurance attorney for 15 years you are wrong. A topic you may want to look up is subrogation. Even if host insurance isn't primary, they have an obligation to litigate on your behalf if you choose to put in a claim through their policy. CIS was wrong, but it wasn't worth the fight. As an update, I won the case vs the frame shop and received every penny I was owed, no thanks to CIS. Frame shop didn't carry a policy - they aren't required to by law - they chose to operate without insurance, so I sued the company and the owners. J

Hi all - I hope everyone is doing ok all things considered I am starting to collect graded comics and my favorite book, WD is probably where I want to start. Before I go buying single issues, I figure I might as well ask if anyone is interested in selling (or trading) a 9.8 run? I made a post in the wtb section, but I figured I would also post here. I hope that is OK Feel free to message me. I have plenty of references. Thanks everyone and be well!

I don't remember you, but it's been quite a while since I've posted here. If I had to guess, you are upset because I bought/sold/traded WD art and for whatever reason you are miffed about me making a few bucks off it? What you probably don't know is I still have most of my WD collection and that I've always been a stand up guy, never scammed anyone, never didn't pay or ship or anything like that. I am sorry you are upset and you may refuse to accept this, but you really have no reason to be. I am still very active in the Magic community, I represent a few artists, and I am an active buyer/seller/trader. Anyway, I don't hold any negative feelings toward you, even if you refresh my memory on who you are, because frankly I don't care enough. I am happy to be back collecting WD art and thanks for the warm welcome back

hi everyone a couple of familiar faces. I stopped collecting WD bx the pricing was too high. It's back to normal now, and I am back in. I think long-term the pricing will rise, but not as quickly as the 2012ish spikes we saw. Hope everyone is doing well

They did not - they are blaming me saying I took the art back and am trying to run a scam! I've been framing with them for over 10 years. It's a shame. I'll post a copy of the denial letter. I'll scan it. It quotes the policy provisions. They offered no excuse, and have shifted the blame to me. I've started a lawsuit. Interesting. I will call my homeowners about this. I don't have it. A worker at the shop reviewed it. I will request it through court though. I am keeping the details private because the case is now in court. Thank you to everyone for all the thoughtful comments. This is an absolute mess and has made me reconsider even wanting to collect anymore. It is sucking the joy right out of it and I am really unhappy over all the additional work/stress this is all causing. That said, it's a necessary evil - insurance - so I will continue to look for a good, fair, honest policy so I can get the stuff I own covered. I'll keep people posted.

Exactly this. CIS should cover this type of loss. It's expected when buying art that one will frame it. Further, it's expected when you buy a comprehensive policy that an insurer will protect you from likely and expected issues. Getting your art frame would be one IMHO.

That is wrong - comprehensive policies which is what this CIS policy is, would absolutely use the "spirit of the policy" to insure things. Almost no examples of coverage provided in coverage terms - rather, terms of a policy are interpreted through fair reading, via an adjuster (or an insured) - ie: spirit of a policy.

Shipping is covered, yeah, that is not an issue. That's spelled out. Unrealistic expectations? That's insane. CIS covers collectibles at hotels, at conventions and en-route, why would it not be covered at a frame shop. So I would have had coverage had I shipped the items there. Arguing that the frame shop should carry insurance is like saying the hotel or convention should have insurance. If the items were damaged en-route to the shop, they would have been covered. But once at the shop they aren't. That's not unrealistic expectations IMHO. That's more the spirit of the policy that it should be covered than anything else.

Re-read my post. They would be primary, but the idea is that the frame shop is primary, sure - in the same sense that a comic-grading company would be primary if they lost/destroyed your comic. But wouldn't you want your insurance company to provide coverage if the frame shop or grader doesn't? In this case the frame shop has actually told me to take a hike, so my insurance should be there to protect. CIS is not doing that.

I wanted to post a PSA about Collectibles Insurance Services (collectinsure.com) since I have previously endorsed their services and many people here use them. I am changing my position to reflect a recent loss that occurred. Long story short, my framer accidentally lost/destroyed about 10 pieces of mine when the manager went on vacation. There is video proof of the event occurring and we are taking steps to resolve the matter. I put a claim in with CIS which was ultimately was denied based on the provision of the policy related to voluntary surrender of items to a 3rd party. Many people including myself would assume that CIS would provide coverage related to framing, grading, or storing artwork. CIS provides coverage for some areas, like a hotel room (even if you aren't in it), or a convention center. They would cover art or cards en-route to a grading or framing shop, but not at the shop itself. For those that say, well shouldn't the frame shop provide coverage, yes you are absolutely correct - that is called primary coverage, and they should (and hopefully will) but ultimately CIS as my carrier should provide coverage to me, then go after the frame shop in what is known as a subrogation action. Any carrier worth their salt would do that for their insured. In fact, the entire reason for insurance is to protect an insured from these types of events. Anyway, as I said, since I have previously recommended CIS, I am now advising to steer clear as their coverage does not reflect the spirit of their written polices. I'll keep everyone posted, I am canceling my policy and likely switching to Chubb.

Hey all. Haven't been around much lately, but I am looking to buy some older WD stuff. If anyone has a nice cover or zombie page, kindly PM me. Thanks. Hope everyone is doing great. Best!

James that's actually really smart to do. Right now not so much but 15 years from now it will be greatly appreciated by the community and honestly also for the modern comic scene. Also nice to see you still active
