DESTINY COLLECTIBLES SCORECARD

Step 1 of 12

We seek to deliver unique value. Recognizing that no two collectors are alike, our proprietary Scorecard will help you evaluate and “score” where you are with your collection across ten criteria, from acquisition to possible disposition. It will help you bring into focus your current situation, challenges, and opportunities, and gauge where you ideally want to be.

Your submitted Scorecard will be reviewed by a Destiny Family Office team member who is passionate about collectibles and who will then follow up with you to gain deeper insight into your purpose, goals and aspirations. Together with you, the appropriateness of next steps can be considered.

Your investment of 10-minutes to complete the Scorecard will provide you with insights into your collection and situation that may well be profound, and help you better understand how to protect your collectibles, yourself, and those you care about. It will also help you understand the importance of being current on your valuation, documentation, security, storage, and so forth, and of including your valuable collection in all of your planning.

Please evaluate yourself candidly, entering the number most closely aligned with your current thinking, situation and objectives.
