Fairfax, Virginia (PRWEB) October 08, 2014 -- Scripophily.com LLC, the internet’s leading buyer and seller of authentic stock and bond certificates, will be attending The Wall Street Collectors Bourse IV at the Museum of American Finance in New York (MoAF.org). The show will have Stocks and Bonds from all over the world and is expected to be one of the best events ever.
Scripophily.com will be free value assessments of stock and bond certificates brought to their booth at the show. The location of the show is the Museum of American Finance, 48 Wall Street, New York. It starts on October 23-25, 2014 and the show hours are Thursday 12pm-6pm; Friday, 10am-5pm; Saturday, 10am-3pm.
Stock certificates are collected and given as gifts because of their historical significance, beauty and artwork, autographs, notoriety, as well as many other factors. The supply of new certificates reaching the collector market has been substantially reduced due to changes in state laws and stock exchanges rules. 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.” Stock certificates can now be registered and transferred electronically. Paper stock certificates are slowly being removed and retired from circulation in exchange for electronic recording. This means fewer new paper certificates are reaching the market and older ones are destroyed when they are redeemed. As a result, the supply of paper stock certificates is significantly reduced.
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.
