Our company and our focus
We are leaders in the hobby of scripophily (collecting stocks and bonds) with an inventory worth billions and billions of dollars. (Well, it was at one time!)  We focus on the affordable, novelty stock certificates but we do offer some highly desirable pieces for the expert collector.  We only sell real stocks and bonds that were used in the stock market! No copies or fakes!

We have a variety of products for your interests.  
We have a scripophily catalog (antique stock and bond certificates) and hobby reference books.  We also offer real, live shares with our partner, OneShare.com.  If you are an active investor, we sell investment books too.  We now offer stock art posters with enlarged images of old stock certificates.

We are proud to be the only site selling a Bernard L Madoff stock certificate.
Please take a look and tell your friends.  It is the only one that we have ever seen, issued to Madoff's personal account and hand endorsed on the back.  Click here to take a look:  MADOFF STOCK.

Some of our most popular live share certificates that you can get in your name (or as a stock gift):

Walt Disney, Playboy, Harley Davidson, British petroleum (BP), Pepsi, Coke, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Tiffany, eBay, Nintendo, Deere, Exxon, Halliburton, General Electric, Du Pont, Nike, Under Armour, Dell, Apple Computer, IBM, Panasonic, Sony, AIG, Berkshire Hathaway, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, General Mills, Krispy Kreme, Starbucks, Tootsie Roll, Burger King, Southwest Airlines, Martha Stewart Omnimedia, Bank of America, and many more company stocks.

Got an old security (inherited or found a stock certificate in the attic)?  

Want to know if it is worth a fortune or not?  Check out our what's it worth page to research your stock or bond for value.  We do not research the company or investigate for investment value - please use the links on the worth page

We have extensive references on the hobby, past sales, and previous prices realized at auction or sale.  We do not conduct company history research or investment valuation but we can steer you in the right direction for these investigations to be done your own.  We provide links to fee-based companies but also a lot of free references and points of contact. If you found old stocks and bonds that are punch cancelled, you likely only have a great collectible!

While we cannot buy everything, we can tell you how to market your old stock certificate to dealers and collectors.  This service is also free.  All we ask is to tour our site and tell a friend!

About collecting old stock certificates  
We only deal in real stock certificates that can be collected by theme, history, familiar company, or just for the looks.  As collectibles, our prices vary based on rarity, supply, and depth of demand.  We do cater to the beginning collector so you will find very affordable pieces in our catalog.  We can find the right stock certificate for you!

Scripophily is usually defined as collecting old stock certificates but has expanded into collecting live share certificates.  We provide collectors with both options on this one website.  Our old stock certificate catalog is focused on the heart of the hobby where certificates are obsolete and cannot be acquired elsewhere.  We are the only scripophily site to also provide a catalog of real, live shares presented on certificates in your name (or as gift to another).   

Since many visitors arrive from finance sites, we also provide some basic investing links for simple advice and fraud protection.   We also have a huge store for investment books and videos (which make a great gift to yourself).  We don't recommend any investments but rather provide basic, unbiased education.  Our fraud section is one of the most complete resources on the internet for about any type of improper investment scheme.
