Collectibles Insurance
Specialized protection for the collections that matter to you
Whether you collect fine art, vintage toys, trading cards, coins, memorabilia, or other valuable items, your collection may require coverage beyond the limits and conditions of a standard homeowners or renters policy.
I work with clients to explore specialized collectibles insurance designed around the type, value, location, and use of their collection.
What can collectibles insurance cover?
Collectibles coverage can be designed for a wide range of valuable personal property, including:
Antiques
Art and fine art
Automotive-related collectibles (excluding cars)
Coins, stamps, and currency
Comic books
Sports memorabilia
Music and film memorabilia
Trading cards
Toys
Other collectible property, subject to eligibility
Why consider specialized collectibles coverage?
Coverage designed around your collection
Collections can include items that are difficult to value or replace through a standard homeowners or renters policy. Specialized coverage can be structured around the collection's value and the characteristics of the property being insured.
Agreed Value
Certain collectibles policies can provide agreed-value coverage, helping establish the insured value of covered property in advance of a loss, subject to the terms of the policy.
Protection beyond your home
Coverage may extend beyond your primary residence, including eligible storage facilities and temporary locations where your collection is located.
Coverage while in transit
Certain policies can provide coverage while collectible property is temporarily away from its scheduled location, including during transit.
Protection against a range of risks
Depending on the policy, coverage may include risks such as theft, burglary, accidental breakage, earthquake, flood, and loss in the mail, subject to policy terms, conditions, and exclusions.
Collections I can help insure
Art and antiques
Protect valuable artwork, antiques, and other historic or decorative pieces that may require specialized valuation and coverage.
Coins, stamps, and currency
Specialized coverage for numismatic and philatelic collections, as well as collectible currency.
Trading cards and comics
Coverage for valuable card and comic collections, including collections that have grown significantly in value over time.
Sports, music, and film memorabilia
From signed sports memorabilia to music and film collectibles, specialized coverage can help protect items that may be difficult to replace.
Toys and other collectibles
Vintage toys, model collections, and other specialized collectibles can also be considered for coverage.
Is my collection already covered by homeowners insurance?
Your homeowners or renters policy may provide some coverage for collectibles, but special limits and policy conditions can apply to certain categories of personal property. It is highly recommended to consider separate scheduling for valuable personal property that exceeds standard policy limits or is otherwise unusual.
A specialized collectibles policy may provide broader coverage specifically designed for your collection.
Who might consider collectibles insurance?
Collectibles insurance may be worth exploring if you:
Have accumulated a valuable collection over time
Own individual collectibles that have significant value
Store your collection away from your primary residence
Buy and sell collectibles as part of building your collection
Regularly transport collectibles to shows, exhibitions, or other locations
Have concerns about the limitations of your homeowners or renters policy
What information may be needed?
Depending on the collection and the coverage requested, information such as an inventory, photographs, purchase records, appraisals, or other documentation may be helpful in determining appropriate coverage.
How can I protect my collection?
The right coverage depends on what you collect, the value of your collection, where it is stored, and how it is used or transported.

Carriers I offer coverage with:
Do you have valuable jewelry to protect?
Jewelry can require specialized coverage that goes beyond the protection available through a collectibles policy. If you own valuable rings, watches, necklaces, or other fine jewelry, learn more about dedicated jewelry insurance.
Do you have a collectible vehicle to insure?
A collectible vehicle requires specialized auto insurance designed specifically for the way these vehicles are owned, stored, driven, and valued. While collectibles insurance can protect automotive-related memorabilia, it will not protect your car and is not a substitute for a specialized classic or collectible auto policy.
