[meteorite-list] Insuring your meteorite collection

[bobe5531 at comcast.net]

I know of a collector who was paying a annual premium that was 1% of the decared collection value.
The collectors collection is valued $1,000,000 + . So the insuring costs can get pretty high.
You can get some decent vaults for $10K
