Pokémon Trading Card Game Collectibles

Pokémon collectibles, especially trading cards from the Pokémon TCG, have grown in value over the years – and that’s where Collectibles Insurance Services can help!

Whether your collection is comprised of Pokémon cards, figurines, or other merchandise, we’re here to give you peace of mind so that you can focus on what you do best – adding to your collection. 

Pokémon Insurance for Collectors

If you’re seeking protection for that prized first edition Charizard card or a 20th Anniversary 24-karat gold Pikachu, we’ve got your back! We have helped insure collections of all sizes since 1966 (and stamps for nearly 50 years), so we know how much you value your collection. That’s why we provide equally valuable features in coverage.

Pokémon TCG Collectibles Insurance Coverage

  • Accidental Breakage
  • ​Burglary
  • Fire
  • Flood (except in Zones A & V)
  • Loss in the Mail
  • Natural Disasters
  • Theft
  • Other causes of loss, unless specifically excluded from the policy (see exclusions)

Collectibles Coverage at Home and Away

  • Travel – Transit coverage protects collectible property that is temporarily away from the scheduled location, subject to the policy sublimit.​
  • Exhibitions – If you’re at a scheduled exhibition, show, or display, coverage is provided for your collectibles up to the policy limits – including travel and shipping to and from the event.
  • Storage Facilities – For an additional premium, we offer optional coverage for collectibles kept in a public storage facility.

More Affordable Rates
We offer insurance policies with affordable coverage compared to other insurance policies! Typically, you will pay less than it would cost to schedule the same items under a homeowners policy.

Less Paperwork and Red Tape
Unlike the average homeowners policy, we do not require a schedule or appraisal for most items; however, you are responsible for maintaining your own inventory for insurance purposes (in the event of loss). The only exceptions are individual items or sets valued over $25,000 apiece, which would have to be scheduled.

We’re Proven and Trusted

We offer insurance policies that are proven and trusted! We have been protecting collections like yours since 1966. And all coverage is provided by a carrier with a group rating of “A” (Excellent) by AM Best – the leading rating agency for the insurance industry.

Deductibles starting at $0
Deductibles start at $0 for collector policies. We provide coverage for the market value of your collectibles for losses in excess of $50. All dealer policies have a $200 deductible.

Insurance that grows with your collectibles
Collections tend to grow, so your policy can be adjusted to include any additions to your collection.

Inflation coverage
You may select “Automatic Monthly Increase” as optional coverage to be added to your policy for new acquisitions and appreciation of your existing collection. Selecting this coverage will apply an automatic monthly increase of 1% in coverage, up to a maximum of $1 million.

We provide coverage for dealers, too
If you want to protect your dealer inventory and your clients’ private collections, for which you are responsible, we also offer special Dealers Insurance.

Superior customer service
Our company was started by collectors so it’s only natural that we pay attention to your interests and needs. And that our customer service would always be geared to the collector’s point of view.

Prompt and personal claim service
As experienced specialists in collectibles, our adjusters understand their value and importance to you. That’s why, should you have a claim, they make every effort to make sure it is settled as quickly and completely as possible.

CIS is a company founded by collectors, so we understand that your collection is often more of an emotional investment than a financial one and that these collections are worth far more to its owner than money alone. As experts in collectibles insurance, we have been protecting valued collections since 1966—offering not just coverage, but the kind of peace of mind that standard homeowners coverage simply cannot provide. Here’s just a few reasons why you should choose CIS to provide insurance for your valuable collectibles:

  • Proven and Trusted – Protecting collectors since 1966, all coverage is provided by a carrier with a group rating of “A” (Excellent) by AM Best, the leading rating agency for the insurance industry.
  • Coverage at Home and Away – We provide insurance at any scheduled location in the United States. But, that’s not all. We provide transit coverage, which protects collectible property that is temporarily away from the scheduled location (subject to policy sublimit). If you’re at a scheduled exhibition, show, or display, coverage is provided for your collectibles up to the policy limit—including travel and shipping to and from the event. We also provide optional coverage for collectibles kept in a public storage facility (up to $100,000).
  • Comprehensive Coverage – Coverage includes, but is not limited to, accidental breakage, burglary, fire, flood (except in zones A & V), loss in the mail, theft, natural disasters, and other causes of loss unless specifically excluded from the insurance policy.
  • More Affordable Rates – Typically, you will pay less than it would cost to schedule the same items under your homeowners policy. Deductibles start at $0 for collector policies, and we provide coverage for the market value of your collectibles for losses in excess of $50.

Our company was created by an avid stamp collector who realized that ordinary homeowners coverage simply couldn’t provide the coverage his rare treasures demanded. For everyday, easily replaced personal property, homeowners coverage is all most people need. But for prized possessions you may have spent a lifetime collecting, it doesn’t go nearly far enough. That’s why we offer a group of benefits that the less specialized insurance carrier doesn’t often provide. For example:

  • Homeowners coverage is typically based on the actual cash value of your collectibles—not their current market value.
  • Homeowners can limit coverage of all the contents in your home to a percentage of your home’s total value (usually between 50% and 70%).
  • It may not cover losses caused by floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes.
  • Homeowners may have limited or no coverage for valuables like silver, guns, stamps, and other collectible items.
  • You may be required to appraise and schedule all items individually. And new items must be reported and scheduled within 30 to 90 days of acquisition.

Like most collectors, we’re specialists. Providing collectible insurance is all we do. So we’re able to passionately focus on servicing the needs of collectors like you. Generally, if you can collect it, we can insure it. (The list of what we provide coverage for is a lot longer than what we don’t.) Some of the most popular categories we cover include fine art insurance; comics; Pokémon cards; guns, knives, and accessories; sports cards and memorabilia; stamps; and toys.

The following are excluded from our coverage: Government seizure or destruction of property; war and nuclear hazards; gradual deterioration such as fading, creasing or denting; nesting, infestation or discharge or release of waste products or secretions by insects, rodents or other animals; dampness or dryness of atmosphere; changes in or extremes of temperature other than fire; fraudulent, dishonest or criminal acts; voluntary parting with covered property; loss or damage while being worked on by you or others working on your behalf; and mysterious disappearance. This is not a complete list of exclusions and exclusions can vary by policy.
