Collectors Universe company history timeline

1990

In 1990, PCGS changed the industry again, introducing the ultimate grader: a computer called The Expert that was used in tandem with human graders.

1999

When sports card trading on the Internet exploded in 1999, PSA, with 90 percent of the card-grading market, increased its business almost fivefold to roughly 80,000 per month.

The combined revenue for the Bowers and Merena companies in 1999 was $13 million.

2000

In 2000, PSA/DNA was selected by the NFL and National Football League Players Incorporated to authenticate all player-related merchandise for the new NFL Auction on ebay.

2001

In April 2001, Sports Market Report, formerly distributed to members of PSA's Collectors Club only, became a magazine with national distribution.

In 2001, Collectors Universe began a three-year agreement with The Topps Company, Inc. to grade selected limited quantity sports cards prior to sale.

However, 2001 brought concern that the slowing economy and lower stock market prices would dampen collectibles prices.
