Cabrella Partners with PSA for Enhanced Shipping Insurance

On April 27, 2026, in a significant development for collectors of sports memorabilia, Cabrella, a prominent provider of shipping insurance and logistics risk management solutions, announced its partnership with PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator). This collaboration establishes Cabrella as the exclusive insurance partner for PSA's inbound shipping program. This new partnership aims to fill the existing coverage gaps that collectors face when submitting their items for grading.

Addressing Coverage Gaps for Collectors

For many collectors, sending cards to PSA for grading has historically posed several challenges. Traditional shipping options often provide limited carrier liability, which doesn't adequately cover ungraded collectibles. Many third-party insurance companies also struggle to assign accurate values to ungraded cards, leaving collectors exposed to potential losses during transit. The partnership between Cabrella and PSA seeks to tackle these issues directly by offering a comprehensive inbound insurance solution.

Under this agreement, PSA customers can opt-in for Cabrella's specialized insurance, with limits of coverage reaching up to $150,000 per shipment. This ensures that valuable collectibles are well-protected as they make the journey to PSA.

Rigorous Valuation Process

A key component of this partnership is Cabrella's meticulous valuation process for ungraded cards. By utilizing resources like Beckett and Card Ladder, Cabrella ensures that collectors receive fair and consistent valuation for their items, regardless of whether the cards have been previously sold or graded. This systematic approach eliminates the uncertainty surrounding the value of ungraded collectibles.

Seamless Integration Through Technology

Thanks to Cabrella's advanced technology and API capabilities, the integration with PSA has been seamless, allowing rapid implementation of this service. Benjamin Meskin, the founder of Cabrella, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are thrilled to partner with PSA to protect their customers' most valuable cards in transit. Shipping high-value items comes with its risks, and insuring those items properly begins with thoughtful valuation.”

Expanding the Ecosystem of Collectible Services

PSA, a subsidiary of Collectors, is recognized as the leading authority in the authentication and grading of trading cards and memorabilia. Since its inception in 1991, PSA has authenticated over 90 million items, making it the go-to service for collectors worldwide. Ryan Hoge, PSA President, emphasized that the initial coverage offered through this partnership is only the beginning, indicating a larger opportunity as Collectors expands its suite of services for the collectible market.

He stated, “The PSA experience commences the moment a card leaves a collector's hands, and that transition shouldn’t be a source of anxiety. Cabrella's ability to value and insure ungraded cards makes them the perfect partner as we broaden our ecosystem of services.”

Setting New Standards in the Collectibles Space

With this strategic partnership, Cabrella and PSA are raising the bar for insurance coverage in the collectibles authentication and grading industry. Cabrella’s platform is designed to address the shortcomings of traditional insurance carriers, offering more tailored solutions for collectors' unique needs.
