(PRWEB) September 20, 2013 -- Scripophily.com ®, the Internet’s largest buyer and seller of collectible stock and bond certificates is now offering original Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc stock certificates.

This item has the printed signatures of the Company’s Chairman, Richard S. Fuld, Jr., and Secretary.
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. was a global financial-services firm who faced unprecedented losses due to the continuing subprime mortgage crisis and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 15, 2008. The filing marked the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. Stock certificates from this company are very difficult to find and are extremely collectible.
"Stock certificates are collected and given as gifts because of their historical significance, beauty and artwork, autographs, notoriety, as well as many other factors" said Bob Kerstein Founder of Scripophily.com. "The supply of new certificates reaching the collector market has been substantially reduced due to changes in state laws and stock exchanges rules" Kerstein added. Many companies are no longer required to issue physical stock and bond certificates by stock exchanges and the Securities and Exchange Commission, a process called “dematerialization”.
