VERY P.; ALL P. .....the new one INHERENT VICE!

More quotes:

"Inherent Vice. Since some stamps are made from unstable materials, either in the paper, the ink, or the adhesive, there is only so much you can do to..."

Philatelic Material and Inherent Vice 

When considering the best presentation and storage conditions for paper artifacts (like stamps) and photographs, I advise against applying any type of adhesive to collection pieces. The adhesive often turns brown over time and can "bleed" through to the front surface. It can also lose its adhesive quality, releasing the piece it was meant to secure. Paper and adhesive also react differently to environmental changes causing surface distortions to the paper.

LimitationsWhile coverage usually applies anywhere in the world, there are limitations. A stamp policy will not cover loss involving wear and tear, gradual deterioration, insects, vermin, or inherent vice, fading, creasing, denting, scratching, tearing, thinning, or transfer of colors, disappearance (of individual items) or damage caused by regular handling, or due to extreme temperatures.If stamp collecting is a part of your life, be sure to talk to an insurance professional. The extra protection of the coverage is well worth the extra expense.http://www.mayanagency.com/accessfx/430f005.htm
