  • Publication number: 20070113451
    Abstract: A collectible holder is provided. More particularly, a collectible holder is provided that is fabricated from three portions—a sleeve portion, an insert portion, and a collectible receivable portion. The collectible receivable portion is insertable into, and removable from, an aperture located in the insert portion. The insert portion is inserted into the sleeve portion and sonically bonded. A Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag is also provided in the collectible holder to store information associated with the stored collectible. As multiple RFIDs can be read simultaneously, numerous features are provided. In one, a scanner is presented at the unloading dock of a convention. A dealer is provided with a time to go through the scanner. All of the dealer's collectibles are uploaded to a remote database, an online store is autonomously generated for the collectibles, and the inventory published to the internet as part of an online inventory of the entire convention.

  • Publication number: 20070118436
    Abstract: A collectible holder is provided. Such a holder may encapsulate a collectible and a radio frequency identification tag. Scanners may be utilized to simultaneously scan a number of RFID-enabled holders such that information about a large number of collectibles can be obtained in a short period of time. Such information can be utilized to generate an online store for a dealer, and online auction for a collection, or a virtual collectible convention that mimics a physical collectible convention.
