    A letter from The Collectorate...

At some point in our life, most of us will face the responsibility of caring for an aging parent. Unfortunately, one of our owners is now facing the difficult choices associated with just such a scenario. This has slowed the opening of The Collectorate, but we are sure you will agree that moms should always come first.

We will open as soon as possible, but since it is impossible to know just when this medical crisis with resolve itself, we don’t want to create dates we may not be ready for. We profusely apologize for this delay. We will continue to put out more screen shots and updates every week. Stay tuned because we will announce our opening several days prior to the actual date.

Thank you for your interest and your patience.

KNOW YOUR ITEM IS PROTECTED EN ROUTE TO YOU:

The Collectorate Shield Packing© helps ensure that your item arrives in the same condition as when you selected it on our website. While the shipping carrier does play a part in that process, much of the damage in transit can be avoided with proper packing. The Collectorate Shield Packing© is a 4-step process designed to maximize the protection of your items during shipping and transit. These steps may seem simple but our personal experience as collectors has shown us that these steps are not common practice everywhere. Keep reading for full details!
