The way Collectibles Insurance Services works (as it was explained to me), is that you can only claim a total loss - so, to a certain degree an appraisal isn't necessary. I have my collection insured for $X, and I have an inventory of that collection along with as many sales records (paypal, invoices, etc) as I could retroactively collect, and when you couple that with a third party site such as worthpoint.com or Beckett, or eBay - that's just as good, if not better than a third-party "appraiser". Seriously, any card appraiser would go to worthpoint, ebay, and beckett anyway, so what's the difference?
