We understand the value of teamwork
Sports Memorabilia Insurance
You don’t just collect sports memorabilia. That signed baseball, football jersey, or stadium seat represents a piece of sports history. Each item in your collection tells a story. And it’s your love of the game and its heroes that motivates you to hunt down that next prized item for your collection.
From such treasures as a Babe Ruth signed baseball, a Mickey Mantle rookie card or a Honus Wagner card to whole categories like Ted Williams memorabilia and World Series memorabilia, we’ve spent decades protecting these stories. We know how much you value your sports memorabilia collection. That’s why we provide equally valuable features in our collectibles insurance coverage.
Insurance for Trading Cards
Since their first appearance in packs of bubble gum and tobacco, trading cards have become a hot commodity. Whether you collect baseball, basketball, football, soccer, or another sport, we’ve got your back!
No matter the size of your collection, Collectibles Insurance Services is here to help. So you can relax and enjoy peace of mind while adding to your collection.
Comprehensive coverage for your sports memorabilia collection
- Accidental Breakage
- Burglary
- Fire
- Flood (except in Zones A & V)
- Loss in the Mail
- Natural Disasters

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 collection up to the policy limit – including travel and shipping to and from the event.
- Storage Facilities – For an additional premium, we offer optional insurance coverage for collectibles kept in a public storage facility.
More affordable rates
Typically, you will pay less than it would cost to schedule the same sports memorabilia items under a homeowners policy.
Less paperwork and red tape
Unlike the average homeowners insurance company, we do not require a schedule or appraisal for most sports memorabilia 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 have been protecting collections of sports memorabilia and more 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 sports memorabilia collection for losses in excess of $50. All dealer policies have a $200 deductible.
Collectibles insurance that grows with your collection
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’ sports memorabilia 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 would 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 the value and importance of your sports memorabilia. That’s why, should you have a claim, they make every effort to make sure it is settled as quickly and completely as possible.
