When it comes to hobbies, few passions rival the dedication of collectors. Whether it’s trading card games (TCGs), limited-edition figurines, or rare merchandise, enthusiasts in Singapore pour time, energy, and not to mention money into curating their personal collections. For many, these aren’t just plastic or cardboard—they’re pieces of their identity, and often, investments with real market value.
Now, imagine accidentally damaging a prized card, or having a rare figure stolen. That sting of loss isn’t just sentimental—it’s also financial. Yet most traditional home insurance policies don’t quite see it the same way. Enter Geek Insurance from MyRepublic Singapore, an innovative and affordable insurance solution specifically designed for collectors of niche, geek-centric items.
From 28 July 2025 onward, collectors can now enjoy peace of mind with Geek Insurance, starting from only $4.90/month. This isn’t your typical policy—it’s protection tailor-made for collectibles, from trading cards to figurines, and more. And if you’re asking yourself whether it’s worth the small monthly investment, read on to understand why this is one deal not to miss.
Why They Created Geek Insurance
It’s no secret that the world of collectibles has exploded in value over the past decade. Cards like those from Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon have seen sky-high resale values. Figurines from pop culture franchises are now fetching hundreds—if not thousands—on auction platforms. These aren’t just toys anymore. They’re assets. Unfortunately, most conventional insurance policies don’t provide adequate—or any—coverage for these types of items.
MyRepublic Singapore recognised this gap in the market and introduced Geek Insurance, a plan that specifically addresses the unique concerns of collectors. With thefts on the rise and accidents inevitable, this offering is a game-changer for hobbyists across the island.
What Does Geek Insurance Cover?
For just $4.90/month, Geek Insurance provides comprehensive protection against the two biggest threats to your collection: accidental damage and theft. Whether your dog knocks over your display cabinet, or a guest unintentionally spills a drink on your deck of holographic cards, Geek Insurance has got you covered.
The policy extends to:
-
Trading card games (e.g. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!)
-
Collectible figurines and models
-
Limited-edition pop culture merchandise
-
Comic books
-
Game bundles and rare media items
This means if your rare foil card from the Edge of Eternities bundle gets bent or stolen, you’re not left out of pocket. It’s coverage where it matters most.
Simple and Affordable
Insurance is often seen as complicated, expensive, and riddled with fine print. MyRepublic has gone a different route. The signup process for Geek Insurance is refreshingly straightforward. There’s no need for endless paperwork or intrusive valuation checks. The entry-level plan starts from $4.90/month, which makes it one of the most affordable niche insurance products available in Singapore.
And for those with more valuable collections? Higher-tier plans are available, offering greater protection for high-end items. The flexibility of Geek Insurance is what makes it truly appealing to both casual and serious collectors alike.
Real Benefits for Real Collectors
Let’s say someone has just pre-ordered the Edge of Eternities collector’s bundle—something packed with exclusive cards and content. While the thrill of unboxing is unbeatable, there’s always a nagging thought: “What if something happens to it?”
Geek Insurance turns that worry into assurance. Collectors now have a backup plan that respects the sentimental and financial value of their items. It’s like wrapping each collectible in a safety net, especially as collections grow in size and value.
More importantly, it acknowledges the reality that these items often aren’t replaceable. Even if an item could be re-purchased, fluctuating secondary market prices mean one might be paying significantly more. Geek Insurance steps in to soften that financial blow, offering compensation and coverage that could mean the difference between moving on or giving up the hobby altogether.

A Cultural Shift in Insurance
What makes this launch more interesting is how it reflects a broader shift in consumer culture. More people are spending on digital and physical collectibles than ever before. The concept of value is evolving, and insurance providers must evolve with it. Geek Insurance is not only a smart response to that change but also an encouraging sign that niche communities are finally getting the support they deserve.
