Safeguarding Your Stamp Collection
Are you a passionate stamp collector with a treasured collection of rare and valuable stamps?
Your collection represents not only a significant financial investment but also the culmination of many, many years of dedication. Protecting your beloved stamps is of the utmost importance.
That’s where our specialist Stamp Collectors Insurance comes into play.
Protection Against Unforeseen Events
Accidents happen. Whether it’s a fire or flood, theft, burst pipe, accidental damage or loss or damage in transit, the unforeseen can have a catastrophic impact on your collection. Insuring your collection ensures that you’ll have the financial resources to recover or replace your collection in the event of such disasters. Without insurance, the loss could be irreplaceable.

Knowing that your stamp collection is insured offers peace of mind that can’t be overstated. You can enjoy your collection without worrying about the what-ifs.

Tailor your insurance to match the unique needs and value of your stamp collection.

Why Home Insurance may not be suitable
Whilst many home insurance policies may include cover for Stamp Collections, it is vitally important that you check the small print.
Often Stamp Collections are only covered if they have been ‘specified’ on your policy, i.e. specifically noted and shown in writing on your Policy Schedule. Is yours?
Home Insurance policies often have an ‘inner limit’ for the value of any collection. Does yours?
Does your home insurance policy cover your collection whilst in transit to / from and whilst at fairs or exhibitions?
In the event of a claim, are you confident that your home insurer understands the value of your stamps and associated items?
- You can feel confident that your insurance needs are being handled by people who have a deeper understanding of your hobby and the value of stamp collections, experience often lacking when dealing with a general insurance company or broker.
- You will be dealing with a broker and Insurance company who understands and has the experience of settling stamp insurance claims
- Our policy can be customised to your needs and preferences. Whether you have a small or extensive collection, you can choose the cover that suits you best and can adjust your policy as your collection grows or changes.
- No excess to pay in the event of claim. Most home Insurance policies have an excess of up to £500.
- If you make a claim on your Stamp Collectors policy, it will not affect your no claims discount on your home insurance policy;
