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.

While other big companies in the space include Fanatics and Steiner Sports, the fact that Collectors’ is more than a marketplace serves it well. Indeed, its most popular services appear to be grading and authentication, as well as storage vault services.

Collectors’ recent past has been very interesting to watch, as a 2021 acquisition led by current CEO Nat Turner unified the various brands of the former Collectors Universe, which was then relaunched as its current all-in-one platform.

It’s proving to be a shrewd move, as the “new” company’s first fundraise totaled $100 million, followed by an extra $123 million in post-IPO debt funding in 2023. With the collectibles industry forecast to double in value to be worth as much as $700 billion by end of the decade, Collectors is putting itself in a position of serious strength.
