John,

I agree. The collectability of a number of different company stocks: Disney, IBM, Ford, Chrysler, etc, etc, etc all nicely framed would be a viable thing.

I had never considered the hobby until my trip to London. I thought it fascinating to look at the certificates.

Collectors of comic books might find old Marvel certificates a nice touch to their hobby ... especially in light of their bankruptcy.

Do you own any old certificates??

Rory (go MADI - ;-) )

As far as buying stock just to have the certificate isn't feesable
because you have to pay a commision fee. Yes you can get cheap
commision fees from suretrade or some other online discounter but they will not put your shares in certificate form they only keep
your shares in street name. I know I use suretrade and you can't
talk to a person there.
