DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Apr 10, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Collectible Concepts Group, Inc. ("CCGI") (CCNG), manufacturers of nationally branded and licensed sports memorabilia and entertainment related merchandise, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the National Basketball Association ("NBA") to broaden its NBA license to include sales to Japan through the existing Japanese distribution channel. Interest overseas in Collectible Concept's NBA growth charts led to this expansion of its NBA license.
The NBA Growth Chart is a vibrant chart over seven and a half feet tall with a photo of popular NBA basketball players at actual height and printed on poly-vinyl material. The growth charts hang on the wall and make great gifts for sports enthusiasts or their kids. There are currently growth charts for 11 of the most popular basketball players.
President Paul Lipschutz said, "This is just the first
of many opportunities Collectible Concepts has identified to expand sales of
our products in new and exciting ways. We are delighted to include, Japan, the
world's second largest economy as a destination for our unique licensed sports
products. This transaction establishes access to additional revenue streams
from an established sports fan base that we did not have access to before."
Collectible Concepts will also continue to distribute products
through its established nationwide network of supermarkets, convenience stores,
stadiums, catalogs and other retail outlets.
