Our take

Collectors offers a range of services for the collectibles industry including authentication and grading, collectibles research and sourcing tools, and a buy-and-sell marketplace. The industry is going through a huge renaissance, with a particularly high demand for sports and trading games cards, and Collectors has come to the fore as a major name.

The fact that Collectors is more than a marketplace serves it well in the space. Indeed, its most popular services appear to be grading and authentication, as well as storage vault services. And, with the collectibles industry forecast to double in value by the end of the decade, Collectors is in a position of serious strength.

The company has seen some good investment too, totalling over $200 million. It continues to expand its services with acquisitions of other players in the sector, and is now the parent of PSA, PSA Vault, PCGS, SGC, Card Ladder, Collectors Financial Services and Beckett.
