Collectors Holdings, Inc. is expanding its influence in the collectible space; Collectors Holdings CFO Jason Harinstein has been appointed to the board of directors of Funko, the company announced. Funko increased the size of its board to accommodate the move; Harinstein is also joining the company’s audit committee.
“His proven leadership in corporate development and strategy, coupled with his passion for innovation, aligns perfectly with Funko’s focus on growth and expanding our impact in the pop culture landscape,” Funko CEO Cynthia Williams said in a statement accompanying the appointment.
The move comes just weeks after Collectors Holdings CEO Nat Turner joined the board of Gamestop, which is expanding its move into collectibles (see “PSA Parent Company’s CEO Added to Gamestop Board”). Collector Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of PSA, which recently acquired SGC to become one of the largest TCG authentication companies in the space. Collectors also owns PCGS (coins), WATA (video games), and auction house Goldin.
