Question regarding collectible insurance- Still need help

maddux69

I am looking for insurance for my collectibles and I am wondering about policy specifics. Collect insure has two policy types, collector and dealer. I would identify as a collector, but do sell some items on eBay and may be setting up at a few shows. Is there an acceptable amount that you sell under the collector policy? As far as coverage amount, it is hard to put a total value on my collection. Are specifics needed when applying or do I ballpark what I think my collection is valued at a whole?

You can state whatever you would like for your collection value. You do not have to notify them of any cards or memorabilia unless the piece is over $5K. They require a disclosure of each of those is all, but still it is done by you not them.

Thank you, does anyone have any insight on being a collector/dealer and doing some sales on eBay?

Pretty sure you need the dealer insurance for coverage when setting up at shows. The Collectors insurance covers for exhibiting your collection but not for out of home to set up for sale. However best way to get the answer would be just to call them.
