Certified Collectibles Group (CCG) is a great place for those looking for work in Sarasota.

According to CCG, the CCG companies authenticate, grade and encapsulate coins, banknotes, comic books, trading cards, stamps, estate items and relevant collectibles. CCG has graded approximately 75 million collectibles throughout the world. Some collectible categories the company looks forward to expanding to are video games, collectible toys and sneakers.

"The Certified Collectibles Group approach is rooted in complete independence and objectivity," Vice President of Human Resources, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, at Certified Collectibles Group Mindi Plante said. "CCG companies do not buy or sell collectibles and our full-time graders are prohibited from commercial trading to prevent conflicts of interest. In addition, a submitter’s identity is always concealed from the experts who handle their submission. These measures ensure a fully impartial expert opinion.
