Collector.me is the landing site for tangible real world collectibles that have an NFC chip embedded into them.
Please read our FAQ, below, for more info.
Q: Can you give me the TLDR on collector.me, please?
A: Sure. Collector.me is a separate website designed to track the verification and authenticity of NFC embedded real world collectibles. It gives companies that decide to virtualize their real world products, a central place to provide that authenticity. Our clients embed an NFC chip into their collectibles and when someone scans that collectible, they are taken to a landing page hosted here on collector.me for that particular collectible.
Q: How do I know if my collectible is counterfeit or not?
A: We give instructions on your collectible’s authenticity certification page on how to ensure your collectible is authentic. It is nearly impossible to counterfeit our collectibles when you factor in the NFC technology PLUS our own internal security countermeasures.
Q: Do I have to register my collectible once I receive it?
A: When you purchase a collectible that uses Collector.me as the certification authority, if we know your email address, that will be entered as the owner of the collectible when it is shipped to youo. However, if you are giving it as a gift, you can change that ownership through your collectible’s certification page. You should be sure it is always up to date because if you wish to sell your collectible in the future, in order for the ownership to change hands, we will need to confirm with the owner of record via email. If that is not on file, there is no owner. And the collectible’s ownership can’t be switched to the new owner.
So having your collectibles registered is a REALLY good idea. However, it’s not necessary in order to be a collector.
