Comic Books, Insured the Way Collectors Actually Own Them.

Built for collectors who already know what they have. Keys, census, grades, market and all.

You know what it means to find an unrestored copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 in an estate-sale collection. You read CGC census reports the way other people read the news. You've felt the specific anxiety of a comic that's been pressed, it looks right but something's off, and you called it. You understand that a 9.8 and a 9.6 of the same key issue can be a five-figure conversation, and that a qualified label means something very specific. WAX Collect was built for collectors who bring that level of detail to everything, including their coverage.

The first issue

WAX Collect covers theft, accidental damage, fire, flooding, worldwide travel, and pets. In a comic collection, fire and flooding are the nightmare scenarios, they don't discriminate between a raw reader copy and a CGC 9.8 Hulk #181 on the wall. Accidental damage covers the drop, the scratched case, the submission mishap. All covered.

That's issue #1. WAX Flex™ is how you build the complete run.

Lever one, the variant cover configuration

Think of base coverage as the standard edition. These two optional coverages are your variants, available, valuable, and not always necessary for every collector.

Checked Baggage Coverage

Covers comics lost or damaged in airline baggage handling. Convention season is real, and if you're moving books to San Diego, New York, or Chicago in checked bags, this coverage matters. If everything ships in a Gemini mailer or travels in your carry-on, easy remove.

Unattended Auto Coverage

Protects books left in an unattended vehicle. Post-con, post-dealer pickup, post-estate sale. Toggle on if it applies. Remove if your books go straight from your hands to secured storage.

Want Mysterious Disappearance? It's included as standard on WAX Classic™.

Lever two: Grade your payout

Traditional insurers lock every policy at 150% agreed value. That's a fine setting for a CGC 9.8 ASM #300 from five years ago whose value has since doubled, but it's unnecessary overhead for a stable run of mid-grade Silver Age you acquired as a reader-collector.

WAX Flex™ gives you three settings:

100%. Agreed value, paid in full. Right for stable collections where appreciation isn't the primary thesis.

125%. Up to 125% above agreed value. Subject to the class limit. Smart for high-grade keys showing consistent upward movement, important Bronze Age keys gaining new appreciation, copper-age books tied to media properties, census-scarce issues in grades that rarely come to market.

150%. Full market appreciation protection. For Golden Age keys. For first appearances of characters that now anchor multi-billion-dollar film franchises. For Silver Age in 9.8 where the census has been defying gravity. For the book you graded years ago whose current FMV makes your original agreed value look like a preliminary estimate.

A CGC 9.6 Action Comics #1 and a reader-grade run of '90s Spawn are not the same insurance problem. WAX Flex™ finally lets you treat them as separate questions.

Lever three, the complete collection rate

Comic collectors often collect adjacent things. Original art, posters, statues, memorabilia, trading cards, vintage toys. WAX Flex™ rewards the collector who brings multiple categories to one platform.

One category: base rate. Two: automatic discount. Three: greater automatic discount. No forms. No calls. Applied in real time.

The back matter

Agreed value, guaranteed. Supported by CGC census data, recent Heritage and ComicLink results, dealer comps, and condition-specific appraisals. At total loss you receive that number, not a generalist estimate from someone who looked up the title on completed eBay listings.

$0 deductible in most U.S. states. Going from a 9.8 to nothing is already the worst day of the hobby.

90 days of newly acquired coverage. Won a high-grade key at auction? Covered the moment it's yours, automatically.

Worldwide coverage. SDCC, NYCC, C2E2, the international convention circuit.

Claims via the WAX app. Simple. Direct. Handled.

AM Best A+ (Superior) rated carrier partners with deep experience in valuables and a history of finding ways to say yes.

You've been doing the research since long before it was fashionable. You know your books, your grades, your market. Your insurance should know them too.
