Description: Merrill Lynch and Playboy are NOT included. Those 2 are available individually at higher prices (please email if interested). Selection may vary slightly from the scans. 100 STOCKS @ 49.9 Cents!! This listing is for 100 Different Steel Engraved US Stock Certificates. That's right, 100 different Capitalist Gems that represent the LIVING HISTORY of the post WW2 Economic Boom that made America the richest, most powerful nation on earth. Paper stocks are no longer being issued - these days all share transactions are processed digitally. That means the very finite supply of surviving stocks from the 20th Century is becoming rarer by the day. While coins, stamps and currency were all issued in the millions if not billions, the average stock issue was only in the 1000's (very seldom over 100,000). Ever stricter rules put in place by the SEC between the 80's and 2000 led to the complete destruction of the vast majority of issued stocks, making the ones offered here even more special. It has been ILLEGAL since Y2K to sell a cancelled stock certificate dated that year or later!!!!! That's why you can't find any on eBay!! Every cert is beautifully engraved via the intaglio method (using steel plates), most by the American Bank Note Co. or its affiliates. The designs are etched right in the paper, not merely printed on it, and many are art deco masterpieces. The companies included read like a who's who of American Commerce BEFORE the digital age. The following names are generally included: ACF (American Car & Foundry - made buses and trolleys), American Cable and Radio, American Standard, Atlantic Richfield (ARCO), Collins Radio (made WW2 army radios), Con Edison (Jumbo Jet flying next to Twin Towers - prophetic!) Gulf States Utilities (beautiful art deco Texas cert), Harnischfeger (Komatsu), International Telephone & Telegraph (oldest type), North American Aviation (made Mustang Fighters, B25 Bombers etc.), North American Rockwell (now Boeing), Pennsylvania Power & Light, Pfizer, Rockwell Spring & Axle (automotive), Sinclair Oil, Sunray DX Oil, United Gypsum, Virginia Electric & Power, West Virginia Pulp and Paper, Eastern Union (actual name not printable thanks to Ebay) and many other big names running the gamut of industries. Multiple lots will generally be the same 100 unless we run out of a title. Selection may vary slightly from scans, but all 100 certs will be different although the same title may come in different colors or designs. Please email if interested in specific stock or bond titles, whether pictured or not. We have over 10,000 different (U.S. and foreign). Avg size 8" to 9" x 11" to 12". All remain in excellent, clean, crisp condition w minor signs of routine handling such as pinhole cancels in the side margin or an occasional pen mark outside vignette. There may be an occasional trace of toning in the margin outside the frame. We sold these certificates for $10 to $50 or more EACH on our Wall Street History stand! Cash in NOW! Guaranteed Lowest Price in the world for so many different!! Attention: We can expand the collection to 150 different stocks if so desired but the additional 50 different will cost 99c each because they will have titles that are a) unlisted anywhere b) much scarcer and/or c) 1-of-a-kind. If you'd like to spring for 50 more stocks that you will probably never see anywhere else, please enter "2" in quantity box and email us that you want 50 extra as opposed to a second set of 100 different.
