Scheduling Autographs on homeowners Insurance

[cottnat]

How do you all go about this? Do you leave your collections uninsured? Do you get items authenticated so that you have a fighting chance with the insurance company at time of loss? Do your insurance companies just let you place any value you want on the item?

Up until this point I have left my collection uninsured (would suck to lose, but I could make it just fine in life otherwise). Now with the 1927 Yankees ball, I am thinking that is worth enough that it should be insured. I am trying to figure out the best way to go about scheduling it on my policy so that I am indemnified the true value of the ball if something should happen. I don't know if insurance companies will only go by big name authenticators (PSA, JSA, or the big name 1st party companies) or what.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't mess around with standard homeowners. Get a collectibles policy.

Do they have anyone come and look at stuff, or do yiu provide them with paperwork? If not, how is this any better than homeowners.
