Insurance documentation

Insurers schedule valuable collections when they can see what is there and what it is worth. We produce an item-level photo inventory and a valuation schedule in the format agents ask for, keep a secure copy, and update it annually if you want.

Flat fee per report, quoted in advance

Who it is for

Built for the people who need the answer in writing

  • Collectors with enough value in cards to need a scheduled-property rider
  • Insurance agents who need a clean inventory to bind coverage
  • Adjusters who need a pre-loss record after a claim

How it works

From first message to signed report

  1. Step 1: Message or email

    Tell us what you have and what it is for. Photographs help; a count and the intended use are enough to start.

  2. Step 2: Written scope and quote

    We reply by email with what the engagement covers, the fee basis and the timeline. Fees are flat or hourly, never a percentage of value.

  3. Step 3: Inspection

    In person across the Yuma area, or from your photographs and video with that limitation stated in the report.

  4. Step 4: Report

    A signed written report with the method, the photographs and the certification with disclosures.

  5. Step 5: Delivery

    By email as a PDF. We keep a copy under the retention policy.

Questions

Will my insurer accept it?

Ask your agent what the policy requires; our format follows common scheduled-property requirements and we adjust to what they specify.

How often should it be updated?

Once a year, or whenever you add or sell significant cards.

Do you sell insurance?

No. We prepare documentation only and can point you to agents who write collectibles coverage.
