Exhibit 99.1

Collectors Universe Team,

Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Collectors Universe.

A short while ago, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement under which an investor group led by entrepreneur and sports card collector Nat Turner, D1 Capital Partners L.P., and Cohen Private Ventures, LLC will acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.

This is an exciting transaction valued at approximately $700 million that will enable us to continue building on our industry leadership position and grow our business, and we are confident it is the best path forward for Collectors Universe and our stakeholders. When the transaction closes, which we expect to occur in the first calendar quarter of 2021, shareholders will receive $75.25 per share in cash for each share of Collectors Universe they own. You can read the attached press release we issued. Also attached is a FAQ document that should help answer some of the initial questions you may have.

Our buyers are a group of world-class financial investors and sports and collectibles enthusiasts who recognize our significant potential and believe in our strategy. As we look to our next chapter, I’m excited to partner with Nat, a fellow lifelong collector and hobbyist whose passion for the collectibles space and substantial experience scaling technology businesses will help position Collectors Universe to drive continued growth and success in our PSA and PCGS brands over the long-term.

This transaction is a testament to all of your hard work and we are pleased to have reached an agreement that reflects the remarkable value creation Collectors Universe has achieved through our consistent execution during these challenging times. As we transition from a public to a private company, in partnership with Nat and the investor group, our customers will continue to see the same level of integrity, transparency, service and high-quality solutions that they expect from Collectors Universe. Our new owners are committed to bringing the resources and expertise necessary to expand our operational capacity and technological capabilities, while enhancing the accuracy and consistency for which Collectors Universe is known.

Importantly, this transaction will deliver an immediate cash premium to our shareholders, and create exciting opportunities for our employees, collectors and dealers around the world. In terms of next steps, it remains business as usual for all of us here at Collectors Universe. I will continue to lead the Company as CEO and our headquarters will remain in Santa Ana. We are counting on you to stay focused on your day-to-day responsibilities and continue providing our customers with the excellent service they have come to expect from Collectors Universe.

I want to thank each of you for helping to build Collectors Universe into the company it is today. We hope you share our enthusiasm about this next chapter for Collectors Universe.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This document contains statements regarding Collectors Universe’s expectations, beliefs or views about its pending acquisition by an investor group, including the anticipated timing of the transaction; considerations taken into account by the Collectors Universe Board of Directors in approving the transaction; and expectations for Collectors Universe following the closing, all of which constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements can often be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.”

Due to a number of risks and uncertainties to which its business and its markets are subject, Collectors Universe’s future financial performance may differ, possibly significantly, from expectations regarding its future financial performance that are expressed in, or that may be implied or inferred from the discussion of its operating results in this document. Those risks and uncertainties, and their possible impact on Collectors Universe’s future financial performance, include, but are not limited to, the following: the risk that the conditions to the closing of the transaction are not satisfied, including the risk that a sufficient number of Collectors Universe’s shareholders do not tender their shares into the tender offer or that required regulatory approvals are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; potential litigation relating to the transaction; uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the transaction and the ability of each party to consummate the transaction; risks that the proposed transaction disrupts the current plans and operations of Collectors Universe; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; Collectors Universe’s continued dependence on its coins, and cards and autographs businesses, which historically have generated more than 90% of its total consolidated revenues and a substantial portion of its operating income, which make its operating results more vulnerable to conditions that could adversely affect those businesses, such as the volatility of precious metals prices that could adversely affect its coin revenues; the risk that the prolonged effects of COVID-19, and the business closures and travel restrictions that have been imposed in response to that outbreak, will adversely affect Collectors Universe’s revenues and operating performance, and could cause it to incur operating losses and declines in cash flows; the risk that it may become necessary for Collectors Universe to reduce the amount of, or suspend or discontinue the payment of cash dividends in the future, due to conditions or circumstances outside of its control, such as the continued effects of COVID-19 and resulting adverse economic or market conditions, as well as its financial performance and the cash needs of its business in the future; the risk that domestic or international economic conditions may deteriorate as a result of events outside of Collectors Universe’s control, which could lead to reductions in the demand for its collectibles authentication and grading services and, consequently, in its revenues and operating results; the risk that the weakness or volatility of economic conditions will lead to longer-term changes in the spending habits of consumers and in the availability and use of credit by smaller businesses, such as collectibles dealers, to fund purchases of collectibles, which could lead to longer-term declines in collectibles commerce and, therefore, in the demand for Collectors Universe’s services; the risks that claims under Collectors Universe’s coin and trading card authentication and grading warranties will increase substantially and that the warranty reserves that it maintains for such claims will prove to be inadequate, which could cause its gross profit margin and operating results to decline or cause it to incur operating losses; the risk that Collectors Universe’s strategies of offering services in newer geographic areas, such as Europe and Asia, or potentially investing in new lines of business, will not be successful in enabling it to improve profitability or may even cause it to incur significant losses; and the risks and added complexity of conducting business overseas. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may give rise to risks that are currently unknown or amplify the risks associated with many of these factors.

Additional information regarding these risks and other risks and uncertainties to which its business is subject is contained in Item 1A, entitled “Risk Factors”, in Collectors Universe’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, which it filed with the SEC on August 26, 2020. Readers of this document are urged to review the discussion of those risks and uncertainties in that Report. Also, Collectors Universe’s financial results in the future may differ from those currently expected due to additional risks and uncertainties of which it is not currently aware or which it does not currently view as, but in the future may become, material to its business or operating results. Due to the aforementioned risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained, implied or inferred, in this document or in Collectors Universe’s Annual or Quarterly Reports filed with the SEC, which speak only as of their respective dates. Collectors Universe disclaims any obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained in this document or in its Annual or Quarterly Reports that it has filed with the SEC as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law or Nasdaq rules.
