eBay seller with 50 stock certificates.

[Larry Clark]

If the person selling a Tucker stock certificate is correct, his mother has 50 different stock certificates of Tucker stock that she inherited from the seller's grandmother. It will be interesting to watch how Tucker stock certificates hold up with this seller potentially hitting the market, one-by-one. As impressive as the 50 different certificates are, it is really impressive to see the boxes of stock certificates sent it to the Bankruptcy Court by Tucker shareholders trying to get something for their equity interest. They got nothing (plus lost their certificates that today are worth far more than the original stock issuance price). See

I emailed the guy. Says he's only selling the one.

I notice these always say " Temporary Certificate - Exchangable for definitive engraved certificate when ready for delivery".

What did that mean to the person that received this? Were they to get a different certificate later and, it so, did anyone
ever receive one?

It appears the green certificates were for less than 100 shares and the redish colored were for 100 shares. Were there
larger denominations above that, if so, what is the largest number of shares bought by an individual outside of the
corporate officers? I've read there were 44,210 stockholders. Is that accurate?

This is on Wikipedia: "Stock certificates of over 10,000 shares were personally signed by Preston Tucker himself, making these larger certificates the most desirable." Anyone ever see one?

Also, I read (Wikipedia, again) "...In 1940, Tucker formed an upstart, the Tucker Aviation Corporation, with the goal of manufacturing aircraft and marine engines. The corporation (Tucker's first) was initially based at his shop behind his Michigan home. A public corporation with stock certificates issued..." Has anyone ever seen one of those?

[TuckerCar]

Yes, as I recall the 10,000+ certs were blue. The Tucker Aircraft certs show up on eBay from time to time.

Until he see's what they could go for......

So now I'm curious, how much do these sell for in general? Is there a difference in price between
a green or a pink(redish) certificate or the number of shares it is for? I would think a 10,000 share
certificate would be worth more as there would be less of them out there. What sort of prices
have people seen over the past few years on these?

[TuckerCar]

The reds and greens generally fetch $50-$125 irrespective of the number of shares. People are just buying them to display and both work to that extent.

I can't remember what the 1,000+ certs went for. I think Russell Riberto was selling them back in the 1990's for a few grand but I honestly don't recall. They are EXCEEDINGLY rare.

It went for $61.55. Thats $3,000+ if he has 50 of them
