The Passion of Collecting Paper Stock Certificates has Significantly Increased as Parents and Children are at home and learning about New Hobbies.

FAIRFAX, VA, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Scripophily.com^® / RM Smythe^®, the Internet’s largest buyer and seller of collectible stock and bond certificates has seen its business increase significantly since the pandemic began and families are homebound. "We are excited in the increased interest in the hobby of Scripophily and believe the educational value will help educate young and old investors as to how companies issue stocks and bonds," said Bob Kerstein, Founder of Scripophily.com.

Parents are using collectible stock and bond certificates as learning tools to explain to their kids how the stock market works. These authentic historical stock certificates conveyed real economic value in a pre-digital age. Many of the businesses featured on the certificates were central to economic and political change in the United States. Due to the computer age, more and more stock and bonds are issued electronically, which means fewer paper certificates are being issued. As a result, the supply of paper certificates is decreasing.
