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.
