You may want to insure your collection to protect against a loss when investing in autographed memorabilia. Even with only a couple pieces, you could possibly be covered in your homeowners’ policy. It’s a good idea to speak with an insurance professional to find out if you are covered.

On the other hand, with a larger collection you may want to take out separate coverage. Do an assessment annually or when you make a major purchase. Once your collection grows it’s a good idea to take pictures and make an updated inventory list. On your numbered inventory list be sure to provide the date of purchase, the original price and estimated value. Periodically adjusting the estimated value of your collection is necessary as market value changes.

Keep your receipts and Certificates of Authenticity in a safe place such as a safety deposit box or a fireproof safe. Mainstream Memorabilia guarantees that our autographed memorabilia is 100% authentic, so you might want to insure your collection. Take steps to safeguard your signed items against loss in case anything unexpected happens.

Review these insurance tips when considering your autographed memorabilia collection. When you invest in autographed memorabilia, you may want to insure your collection as it grows to protect against a loss in your investment. If you just have a few pieces, your homeowners’ policy may provide adequate coverage. It’s best to speak with your insurance professional before assuming that you’re covered.

If you have several pieces or a large collection, you may want to purchase separate coverage either in the form of a special “collectibles” policy or a rider on your homeowner’s policy. Do an assessment anually or when you make a major purchase. As your autographed memorabilia collection grows, you’ll want to take photos and keep an inventory list updated. Inventory lists should be numbered and neatly organized with pertinent details such as the date of purchase, the original price and estimated value.

Here are some tips for creating custom memorabilia of your favorite star for a unique one-of-a-kind momento. Begin with an authentic autograph like the 9 shown here smaller than actual size:

Top: Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Dwight Yoakam
Center: Kate Winslet, Kevin Costner, Kristen Stewart
Bottom Row: Selma Hayek, Taylor Swift, Tom Hanks

Please disregard the scanner light reflection on a few of the examples. Your authentic autograph from Mainstream Memorabilia will have a clean background and will be the actual one displayed on our website.

Once sold all autographed items are replaced with a scan of the next original if we have another in stock.

Our advice is purchasing a quality original photo to go with that person’s autograph, and then have it professionally framed, or follow our tips in the post entitled Protect and Preserve Autographed Memorabilia. As an added touch, a small metal plate to tack on the wood frame with an engraved title may be purchased for a modest price at most shopping malls.

When you put the time and money into obtaining a celebrity’s autograph, you want to take adequate measures to protect and preserve your autographed memorabilia. Consider these tips in order to keep your collection for years to come.

Use acid-free paper, fabric, tissue, folder, or boxes to prevent the decay of the image and actual media. Don’t allow the face of your item to be mounted against glass or standard plastic. The art could get stuck to the glass and be ruined upon removal. Consider storing your autograph in a solander box, or a print storage box. Solander boxes are really for museum-quality preservation, but provide the best protection. Solander boxes feature acid-free cloth lining and are great if you have a number of items you want to store. Use translucent acid-free folders to encase your autographs for display without having to actually handle the item.

Proper ventillation is important when storing an autograph. When sealing your item in an acid-free cover with tape, leave a tiny gap in the corner. Avoid direct light exposure because it can fade the ink from your autographed item. Buy a hygrometer to monitor the humidity level where your autographed memorabilia is being stored. Wooden cabinets tend to encourage deterioration, and metal safes can encourage condensation.

Take measures to protect and preserve your autographed memorabilia for a matter of lifetimes, and pass them down for generations to come.
