Before the dawn of the Internet, collecting just about anything was a challenge. Rather than scrolling through auction sites or connecting with other hobbyists on forums, collectors traveled to flea markets, conferences, and live auctions. Now, Sean Bassik of Collectibles Investment Group is using technology to revolutionize collectors’ worlds again.
As portfolio diversification and hedging against inflation become more important, collectors are beginning to realize that their passions may double as serious investments. Collectibles Investment Group blends the digital and the human to help collectors leverage their hobby to build wealth.
As a lifelong collector, Bassik understands that digital innovation can’t replace human passion — but it can further it. “We have access to over $8 billion in collectibles, and we’re ready to help each client find exactly what they’re looking for,” he says.
Collectibles Investment Group uses the digital world to expand its clients’ horizons, but it also depends on its human staff members to accurately appraise potential investments, negotiate prices, and physically acquire sports memorabilia, artwork, and other collectible investments.
Whether an investor is hoping to add to their collection or liquidate an existing one, Collectibles Investment Group can help them do so with remarkable efficiency.
“For clients looking to sell, we eliminate the haggling and guesswork,” Bassik explains. “After they reach out to us to tell us about their collection, we schedule a free review with an industry expert. Clients usually ship smaller collections for an appraisal, but our team will travel anywhere in the world for large, valuable collections.”
Once the appraisal is complete, Collectibles Investment Group will reach out to the client within 72 hours. To keep the process as low-stress as possible, the team will make its best offer up front.
In the past, collectors looking to liquidate had to search for interested buyers. Collectibles Investment Group offers a convenient and centralized solution.
“We have partners, experts, and advisors in every industry, and we’ve dealt with collections totaling tens of millions of dollars,” says Bassik. “Whether it’s a valuable single baseball card, a complete coin collection, rare and unique entertainment memorabilia, or something else, we’re interested.”
For collectors looking to acquire valuable new additions, Collectibles Investment Group can also act similarly to a buyer’s agent. Because the company maintains connections across an array of industries, it can often help collectors find what they’re looking for quickly.
The process begins with a confidential consultation during which the collector discusses their budget, their goals, and their preferred timeline. Once they make an initial deposit, the team starts searching for the desired item.
After negotiating the price and acquiring the item, Collectibles Investment Group will ship it (fully insured) to the buyer or arrange a local pickup.
Bassik’s company might have access to a complex web of collectible items, but as its many clients can attest, it has actually simplified the acquisition and liquidation process for many. No matter what a collector wants to do next, Collectibles Investment Group is ready to help them along the way.
