can anyone foresee old puters going on the block at
posh auction houses like Christie's or Southebie's? It
happened with comic books maybe 15 years ago. There
are a few dozen of those that are worth mega bucks
though. With puters, I'd have to say (at least at this
present time), it's merely a handful. I personally
don't think puters by themselves will ever gain that
sort of recognition, but perhaps a category, like old
elec- tronic gear, could one day possibly.

The best idea on this stuff is to take it up with an
insurance
underwriter. Often, for collectible items of no
formally established
value, they will issue a "blanket policy" for your
collection that
will cover theft or loss up to a certain fixed
dollar amount.
I've done this with musical instruments--and I
suspect that some
collectors of bottles, clothespins and barbed wire
have similar
arrangements.
Cheers,
