Concerned about storing high value comics

I've grown my comic graded collection over the years and have some relatively valuable comics. The comics are worth north of 250k; which I have it insured and stored in a climate controlled room. Do you guys recommend keeping them here in long boxes or transferring them offsite? I just worry that one day something will happen to them and I cannot continue to increase the coverage as the price for the insurance continues to go up. In fact, the insurance for the home is like 1400.00 a year, the insurance on the comics is 1200 a year.
Some of the comics are:
Complete graded set of Amazing Spiderman 1 - 30 CGC 5.5 + (unrestored)
Amazing Fantasy 15 CGC 4.5
Superman 1 CGC 7.5 (restored slightly)
Batman 1 CGC 8.5 (restored slightly)
Detective Comics 1 CGC 6
Archie Comics 9.2 (restored slightly)
Superman 100 CGC 9.8
Superman 50 CGC 8
X-Men 1 CGC 8.5
Captain America 1 CGC 4.5
The Avengers 1 CGC 7.5
There are other ones, I am just not remembering all of them right now. I must have, in total 150+ graded comics. I am really just concerned with the ones mentioned above. |

I was told that comics cannot be stored in safety deposit boxes. Is this no longer true? Yes, it's currently on my Home Owners. I was thinking about transferring to Collect Insure, but I am just worried that they are not financially strong enough and would pay out should something happen. They are currently covered by Chubb, and support transportation. |

Sending to CGC to remove restored comics
ComicsWarrior

Hey all,
Over the past ten years or so, I've acquired the following comics:
Archie 1 CGC 9.0 restored
Batman 1 CGC 8.5 restored
Superman 1 CGC 7.0 restored
Amazing Fantasy CGC 4.5 restored
Spider-man 2 CGC 8.5 restored
I was prepping for some others to be sent to CGC to be graded and on their website it shows they can remove the restoration and then I can get a universal grade on each comic. What would you guys do? I am afraid they are going to screw something up or they will get "lost" within their facility. Even as they stand now, there's 200k in comics; if not more. |

Yea, it's crazy. I purchased a AM15 in 2011 for 4k, CGC 4.5r. I never thought it would be worth near 20k. I also picked up the 1st run of Amazing Spider-Man 1 - 30 for 5k in 2006. I just go them graded.. Unreal. |

Wonder if I should grade my set then. I bought a 100 of them from Heritage a number of years ago @ 2 bucks a pop + buyers fee. |

Listing comics in the collection question

How do I list my restored comics? It doesn't present an accurate price for a CGC 7.0, but restored. Opened to suggestions. Thank you. |
