Disney is one of Many Companies no Longer Issuing Stock Certificates Still Being Offered as a Collectible by Scripophily.com.
(PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- Scripophily.com®, the Internet’s largest buyer and seller of collectible stock and bond certificates, has seen a continued year over year increase in demand for modern stock certificates. “Younger collectors are seeking stock certificates from companies they are familiar with from personal experience or currently in the news” according to Scripophily.com’s CEO and Founder, Bob Kerstein.
Some popular contemporary companies that no longer issue stock certificates include Walt Disney Company, Paypal, Pixar, Enron, Lehman Brothers, Nextel, Nortel, Polaroid, Salon.com, Sharper Image, Rambus, Lucent Technologies, Inktomi, Infospace, Adelphia Communications, Ask Jeeves, At&T , Barnes and Noble, Calpine Corporation, Chinadotcom, Charter Communications, CoolSavings, Inc., Covad Communications Group, drkoop.com, DoubleClick, Edgar Online, Edison Schools, Excite@Home Corporation, Gilat Satellite Networks, Genuity, Globalstar, Hughes Electronics, Sirus Satellite Radio, Inc, Six Flags, TheStreet.com, Sprint PCS Group, The 3DO Company, 360Networks, Inc, TMP Worldwide, VeriSign, Vivendi Universal, Webhire, Western Wireless, XO Communications, RMS Titanic, Inc. and Napster are just a few.
“Physical paper stock and bond certificates are a permanent history of business representing a cross section of the financial markets we know today. Stock certificates are becoming an artifact of the past as the world becomes more digitized” Bob Kerstein added. The supply of new stock and bond certificates reaching the collectible market has been substantially reduced due to recent changes in state laws and stock exchanges rules. Many companies are no longer required to issue physical stock and bond certificates. As a result, fees to issue paper stock certificates have increased dramatically and many companies have elected not to issue paper stock certificates in order to reduce processing costs.
Stock and bond certificates are collected and given as gifts because of their historical significance, beauty and artwork, autographs, notoriety, as well as many other factors. In addition to modern certificates, old Greek, Chinese, and Panama Canal bond certificates have been very popular this year. In addition scandals like Lehman Brothers and Enron continue to be our top sellers. Stock certificates hand signed by famous people like John D. Rockefeller and J.P Morgan are also in demand.
