(OTC BB:CCGR) the burgeoning innovator and industry leader in the entertainment and sports collectibles industry announced Monday further re-orders of its initial AUSTIN POWERS merchandise, led by the introduction into retail stores nationwide, of the popular Austin Powers Male and Female Charm Symbols.
