COLLECTORS is a collectibles-services company based in Santa Ana, California, whose stated aim is to provide infrastructure for trust, security and opportunity in the collectibles market. Its services let collectors authenticate and grade items, research them, store them and bring them to market.57
The company traces its origins to 1986, when it began as Professional Coin Grading Service, and later expanded into a group of specialist brands.10 Its portfolio includes PSA for trading cards and memorabilia, PCGS for coins and banknotes, SGC for trading cards, Beckett for collectibles information and services, and Card Ladder for market analytics.57 The brands address different collecting categories, while the company’s broader model combines expert assessment with tools for managing and selling collections.57
That model responds to a market where buyers and sellers need reliable information about an item’s authenticity, condition and value. Collectors’ grading and authentication services provide assessments; its research and storage offerings support ongoing management; and marketplace services connect items with potential buyers.57 The company says its brands are trusted by millions worldwide, though the available sources do not provide a current, independently verified total for items handled or customers served.7
Nat Turner is the company’s chairman and CEO.4 Collectors announced an agreement to acquire Beckett in December 2025, describing the plan as preserving Beckett’s distinct brand and operations within its portfolio.5 The company’s activities span trading cards, coins, memorabilia and other collectibles, with its brands and services forming the core of its approach to building confidence in collecting and trading.57
