New Address for GreatCollections

ianrussell

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

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

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. 😎😜

Large, flat roof is just begging for solar panels. (I'd do with a battery reserve.) Can probably get the state and feds to pay for part of it even.

Congrats on the expansion and the facility looks great. Saw this on yor web page and was quite surprise how it look ...from the outside. I hope this does not mean any increases are planned for buyer fee's

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.

I agree with you....but I'm seeing 'mega-small' business in the making.

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

Thanks - I am - I loved our old office (and at the time we moved in, we were determined never to move again, but we simply outgrew it). This new place is a much nicer environment for our growing team.

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

Although I do like Texas, we're very situated here in Orange County. It's very convenient to be close to PCGS - we can drop off and pick-up in person - would cost us a fortune if we were shipping in/out to PCGS.

It can hold the largest of consignments with space to spare - I challenge everyone to prove me wrong!

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.

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.
