Today, GoCollect, the company that brought collectors the #1 comic book price guide has launched the first-ever concert poster price guide.

This price guide enables users to look up recent sales of graded concert posters, use graphing tools to see trends and changes over time, and allows users to obtain more information on the posters themselves.

“I saw a need in the collectibles space to help concert poster collectors gain more insight and information into this niche collectible,” Jeff Meyer, Founder of GoCollect stated. “I am passionate about making the collectibles world more transparent, this price guide for concert posters will help make that happen.”

GoCollect has partnered with Certified Guaranty Company ® (CGC ®) to professionally grade and encapsulate thousands of posters from the Ultrasounds Collection to build the concert poster price guide. The Ultrasounds Collection was purchased by Meyer as a way to begin building data for the concert poster price guide. Many of the posters from the collection will be auctioned off with a portion of the proceeds being donated to charitable organizations.

This preview launch of the price guide will begin with the Family Dog Series. Initial functionalities of this preview launch will be limited, however, more robust features will roll-out in the coming weeks. This preview is free for a limited time! You can view the concert poster price guide at posters.gocollect.com.

A video game price guide will be launched as a fast-follower to the concert poster price guide. One premium subscription will get you access to all 3 price guides. A premium subscription to the price guide will cost just $9 a month or $89 annually.

Toynk Toys Announces Upcoming Release for Smithsonian T-Rex Fossil Replica
[ad_1]

Press Release
–

updated: Nov 26, 2019
- The Specimen USNM 555000 replica is hand-painted and fully licensed by the Smithsonian Institute
- Available for purchase December 2019 at Toynk.com
ADDISON, Ill., November 26, 2019 (Newswire.com)

Toynk Toys has officially announced the upcoming release for one of its most highly anticipated replica pieces: The Smithsonian T-Rex Skull Fossil Statue – Specimen USNM 555000.

Specimen USNM 555000, also known as “the Nation’s T. rex,” was discovered on federal land in 1988 by Montana rancher Kathy Wankel. A team of paleontologists from the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, led by paleontologist Jack Horner, excavated the fossil from 1989 to 1990. It was then transferred to the Museum of the Rockies by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for preparation and eventual housing at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, where it resides today. It is one of the largest and most complete T. rex specimens ever discovered, with 80–85 percent of the skeleton recovered.

In partnership with the Smithsonian Institute, Master Replicas Group has created an extremely accurate polystone resin replica of the USNM 555000 skull fossil through the use of advanced 3D-scanning technology. This process enabled MRG to capture all of the detail of the original specimen and present it to collectors, dinosaur enthusiasts, and educators in the form of this amazing 1/10th scale replica.

The replica is currently available for pre-order at www.toynk.com and will be available for purchase in December 2019.
