A first day day of issue stamp + uncut sheet from the NYSE x Post Office collab in 1992 celebrating 200 years of the stock exchange

A fun find...DreamWorks stock certificate from 2005 with Shrek on it!

Slowly going down the rabbit hole with stock certificates. Plucked this one off of eBay after a tip from @Buster- 5 shares of Converse purchased in 1926, signed by the company founder, Marquis Mills Converse.

And this was the same year Chuck Taylor became the player manager of the Converse Allstars basketball team (4 years after the show debuted).

Pretty cool slice of random hoops head history!

One of the best parts of collecting are the friendship I’ve made, and The National always brings together people I don’t get to see often.

This year a buddy gifted me my first stock certificate, after I mentioned to him that, based on posts from Mantel, I was intrigued.

This certificate is from 1978. IBM. One share, which on the day it was issued was worth $8.44. The stock now trades at $191.75, which means it has underperformed the S&P by a good bit in that time.

I couldn’t find out much bio info on the person who purchased the share initially, but hopefully he didn’t hold the share for the last 40 years.

Really cool gift, and I suspect not my last stock certificate

posting on this app for the first time!
