Comments from people who attended last year “During the IBSS Break- fast meeting, “Fireman” Bill Knadler’s presented his Ohio certificate collection. His collec- tion is the penultimate geographic specialty collection. About 40 members and guest attended. Last year’s show was my most successful show ever,” noted Kerstein. Museum of American Fi- nance teamed up with dealers in YouTube Series – “YouTube has been lacking for professional, comprehensive scripophily vid- eos,” added Kerstein. Now there’s a step in that di- rection thanks to Chris Meyers, the Museum’s Director of Edu- cation, and dealers Bob Kerstein and Scott Winslow. They have teamed up to prepare 5 to 15 min- utes videos on various scripophily topics. The first one is about the Sharing Scripophily program under which stock certificates in three companies are provided for free to teachers to use in teach- ing about the markets. The other three programs are concerned with particular Sharing Scripoph- ily companies for which stocks have been distributed: “What Happened to PanAm?”, “What Happened to General Motors?” and “What happened to Penn Central?” The final video of the series, at 15 minutes, is general anatomy and background of stock certifi- cates, entitled “How Do Stock Certificates Work?” Each video features Kerstein and Meyers teaching the topic and promot- ing the collecting of stocks and bonds. The video composition is pro- fessional, with cutaway images of subjects related to the topic under discussion, in most cases with pans and/or zooms to enliven the video and provide images of the companies’ activities in their hey- day. “It’s intended for the neo- phyte and student, not advanced scripophily collectors since the purpose is for outreach to the general population,” explained Kerstein.
