Collectible Stocks and Bonds from North American Railroads
by Terry Cox
Dealers of certificates
 

This icon indicates dealers who currently sell the Second Edition of Collectible Stocks and Bonds from North American Railroads.

This page includes all dealers I currently know about who routinely carry some railroad stocks and bonds. Please understand, this is currently a FREE service.

To be listed here, dealers MUST routinely sell railroad stocks and bonds and either, 1) issue catalogs or lists, or 2) have a web presence, or 3) sell at shows, or 4) conduct live or mail bid auctions, or 5) otherwise do business as a professional dealer through want lists and other communications. I make occasional exceptions for other kinds of professional services that stock and bond collectors use.

Because of time limitations and constant turnover, I do not list eBay-only stores. It's not that I have anything against eBay stores; I simply don't have the time to keep up with all of them for free.

I stress that a company's inclusion here does NOT constitute an endorsement. Nor does a company's absence mean that I do not endorse them.

To help me maintain this free service, please contact me:

If you find a broken link

If you know of additional dealers

If you know of new web sites

If you know someone is no longer in business

If a dealers changes address, email, etc.

 

Form a relationship with dealers. It is extremely important that you find dealers you like. A good relationship is more important than price. Click here for a discussion about high-price and low-price dealers. You may also check the web site of the Professional Scripophily Trade Association for links and descriptions of dealers who specialize in selling collectible stocks and bonds.

Attention Dealers. These listings are free. If you sell railroad stocks and bonds from North America, send me your name, your business name, your logo and a short description of your specialty. I will add your listing here. Similarly, tell me if you want to be removed.

Attention Collectors. I list dealers by their company names or by their last names, depending on how they do business.
