My insurance advisor said in an email:
"The only thing is
that it is up to you to have them appraised and proven to be the amount
stated if you were to claim them. So for the comic books, if you
can get comparable quotes for them or value them at a comic book store
it would prove the claim's worth."
One of the comics is Superman, The Man of Steel, #1. All of my comics were purchased brand new and immediately inserted into plastic sleeves and kept in a comic book box. The plastic bags kept most of them in good condition - they were in a few inches of water for a few hours, and the plastic bags saved most of them. If I take them to a comic book store would I expect to get a Graded Value of US $120.00?

Any advice on this would be appreciated. Many thanks,
DB

Water is among the worst things that can happen to good books 
Without actually seeing and touching the book, we can never know exactly what the grade may be, but know that a 10.0 grade is EXTREMELY rare. A 10.0 is literally taken straight off the press and immediately preserved. I've seen brand new, off-the-rack comics graded at 9.2 and lower, so the short answer is that you're very unlikely to have a 10.0 on your hands.
