Sales of collectible stock and bond certificates have seen a significant improvement at Scripophily.com since last November's stock market record gains
Fairfax, Virginia (PRWEB) March 20, 2017 -- Scripophily.com LLC, the Internet’s leading buyer and seller of authentic stock and bond certificates, has seen improved year over year sales in both our collectibles sales and old company research divisions for the same period from November 2016 through today. "This is an encouraging time for our company since prior to November 2016, stock collectible sales have been soft and interest was waning," says Bob Kerstein, CEO Scripophily.com. "We have not seen improved activity like this many years," Kerstein added.
Call volumes have increased by over 20% and customer activity is up over 22%. As the economy and stock market improves, business activity is expected to increase accordingly. Stock certificates make great gifts and make wonderful collectibles especially when they are historically relevant. While baby boomers are disposing of their collectibles, millennials are starting to wake up and understand the importance of financial history and the stock market. Consistent and steady growth during these times of the transition of collectors from the older to the younger generation is particularly rewarding to see.
Scripophily (scrip-ah-fil-ly) is the name of the hobby of collecting old stock and bond certificates. Certificate values range from a few dollars to more than $500,000 for the most unique and rare items. Tens of thousands of Scripophily buyers worldwide include casual collectors, corporate archives, business executives, museums and serious collectors. Due to the computer age, more and more stock and bonds are issued electronically which means fewer paper certificates are being issued. As a result, demand for paper certificates is increasing while supply is decreasing.
