Collectible Stock Certificates

By Rick Roman - 5 Mar 2024 752 0 comment

The securities industry has been working for over 20 years to eliminate paper stock certificates and register ownership electronically. This effort has gained momentum as more and more companies stop issuing paper and brokers pass on a $500 disincentive fee for anyone requesting a paper stock certificate.

Unsuprisingly, this has increased the collectible value of stock certificates For example, Pixar certificates with Steve Jobs printed signature sell for over $600.

About 55% of the companies on the GiveAshare.com stock list still offer paper and we avoid the disincentive fee by working directly with transfer agents. So get authentic registered stock certificates while you still can.

See this video on Collectible Stock Certificates made just before the Facebook IPO. As it turned out, Facebook did not issue paper.
