Collectors Universe Company Description
Before you sell that rare silver dollar or those old baseball cards, you might want to find out exactly what it is you have. Collectors Universe provides authentication, grading, and information services for sellers and buyers of coins, sports cards, stamps, autographs, and diamonds and colored gemstones. The company charges a fee -- usually between $4 and $200 for collectibles; up to $2,500 for gemstones -- to determine the authenticity, quality, and worth of an item. Coins and sports cards account for most of the company's business. Collectors Universe also publishes price guides, market reports, rarity reports, and other information in print form, as well as on its Web site.
