Measuring an impressive 12" x 8", this captivating piece of racing history is not just a unique addition to any room - it's a conversation starter that will transport you back to the golden age of horse racing and corporate ambition!
San Juan Racing, a powerhouse in Puerto Rican horse racing, thundered onto the scene in 1954. But they didn't stop at the track! In a bold move, they galloped into the world of radio, acquiring a stable of 10 stations including the renowned WUST-FM and WJMD-FM in Washington and KNUS-FM in Dallas. The company's fortunes took an exhilarating turn on December 8, 1978, when Larry Israel of Coca-Cola New York made a jaw-dropping offer to purchase San Juan Racing stock at $20 per share - a significant leap from its $14 trading price. The company seized this golden opportunity, resulting in a staggering $66 million acquisition that sent shockwaves through the business world!
While the trail goes cold after the 1980s, records suggest that San Juan Racing's thrilling ride came to an end in 2015. But the legacy of this dynamic company lives on in this rare stock certificate!
Stock certificates are more than just collectibles - they're time machines that transport us through centuries of financial evolution! The story begins in 1606 with the Dutch East India Company issuing the world's first stock certificate, setting the stage for a financial revolution. Fast forward to modern times, and even corporate giants like the Walt Disney Company were still issuing paper stock certificates until 2013, bridging the gap between historical tradition and contemporary finance.
These aren't your ordinary pieces of paper - they're crafted on high-quality stock that rivals the durability of currency notes. What makes them truly special are the unique signatures, often from legendary figures within the company, adding an air of authenticity and prestige. Each certificate is a chapter in the thrilling saga of financial history, waiting to be discovered and appreciated!
