Hello!

Just wanted to let everyone know that GreatCollections has moved to our new 28000 square foot headquarters in Irvine, California. While the buildout took longer than anticipated, the extra time allowed us to make it perfect. It's 8x the size of our old office - we look forward to showing it to local clients and visitors.

Even though packages/letters will be redirected to our new location seamlessly - we're being proactive to let everyone know about our address change:

GC Receiving
17891 Cartwright Road
Irvine CA 92614

    Looks great Ian, congratulations on the new digs, you must be proud.

    You can always move to Texas if you want to get your real estate for 1/10th the price and still eat great food. 😎😜

    No plans to increase our fees, even though our electricity bill is going to be much higher in this new location.

    I am quite obsessive about (and good at) paperwork and keeping my contact information up to date. GC has my address on their system. I would remind you to double check your Profile under My GC prior to any further transactions or with any other institutions with which you transact.

    If Ian opens the window he can smell the food cooking at Ruth’s Chris or Mastro’s.

    We have a few cosmetic things to finish, but will be doing this. We also have videos and photos from the start of the process last year - for a "before and after". I will write about the challenges of building out a large office one day - it was a learning experience for sure.

    Congratulations, Ian. Your success and that of your company, is well-deserved.

  • ElmerFusterpuckElmerFusterpuck Posts: 4,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Will us collectors be able to pay it a visit, like to view lots? Will you ever consider having a storefront section in the building, where people could buy coins, like ones on consignment?

    No storefront, however, for over 10 years, we have welcomed clients to view upcoming auction lots - and our new office has expanded areas for this. Our close proximity to John Wayne Airport (SNA) makes it very convenient to fly in.
