Collectors is the leading creator of innovative technology that provides value-added services for collectors worldwide. We grade, authenticate, vault, and help sell millions of high-value, record-setting collectibles, all while modernizing and digitalizing the process to further our mission of helping collectors pursue their passions. Our services span collectible coins, trading cards, Funko Pops!, video games, event tickets, autographs, and memorabilia.
