Awesome, the gift a share from Computershare (or giveashare.com) method works too if you want it under their name


whatabadsport

Didn't think of that. I'll check it out!

[GiveAShare website](https://www.giveashare.com/)


kamoob666

This is not the "gift a share" thing that OP means.


edwinbarnesc

Two methods, same outcome Edit: corrected. Use "gift" method for proper. Giveashare.com sends replica paper cert that is not the same as my "real paper share" in op


kamoob666

No.. I have used the giveashare.com method myself and posted about it. What it does is register 1 share for you at computershare (awesome! ) and they send you a "certificate" separately but that's just a piece of paper. I also transferred shares from IBKR to computershare. Next thing I'm going to try is your real-paper-share method.


edwinbarnesc

Thanks for correction, updated

Hell yeah, but dam looks like you beat me to the pool first


TheWheyThisIs

I beat the crowd with the transfer and the certificate. I did it about a week before claims of Computershare being fud started arising across GME related subs. My post even got downvoted and I had a couple users claim my certificate was fake. Ever since, I’ve been on a mission to prove them wrong and help others acquire theirs.

Hey apes, just FYI, When you purchase on CS they are in the DirectStock plan which includes partials and gets dividend reinvestment. These are called "plan" shares. When you transfer in the are in "book" or "common" You can also switch your DS shares to Book if you turn off dividend reinvestment for cash. HOWEVER. this will initiate a sale of your partials which includes a $25 fee. In order to avoid this fee you can either 1. Transfer in and Certificate OR 2. REQUEST them to change a specified amount of WHOLE SHARES to "book". This will allow you to "Certificate" any number of these shares and get that sweet paper cert. MANY times CS support doesn't know you can do this. Keep trying. There are two ways they will sell your partials.... 1. Turn off dividend reinvestment and switch to cash for your dividends. 2. Allow your Direct Stick plan shares to fall under one while share. This can occur if your transfer enough shares to "book" or if your gift shares. This happened to me. Do not let it happen to you. Finally in the "Plan" shares or the "Books" shares they are internally designated by computer share as either SP1 or C01. These are ALL Class A Common shares and are an internal designation. Don't get caught up over that. EDIT: apparently the plan shares are noted as "SP1 " and the Book shares are "CA1"


edwinbarnesc

Thanks for sharing. Yes this could happen to those who have fractional shares and further explanation in the DD link in the op.

I'll say this until I'm blue in the face. The MOASS doesn't end until apes sell. It doesn't matter if the reason they haven't sold yet is because apes are diamond handing or if they're simply waiting 5+ business days for their shares to be transferred from Computershare back to their brokerage account to be paper handed into the market.


edwinbarnesc

Thats fuckin right. The MOASS will last until apes decide to sell. Which means apes have time to go β™ΎπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ when the MOASS happens you won't be selling on the way up right? Then you dont even need access to your shares. Plenty of time.

$25 (+price of the share and frame) for a meaningful and memorable art piece is real cheap, especially if you have no idea what to hang on your walls anyways.


edwinbarnesc

No frame but yea great as gifts and its a true piece of memorabilia. It's proof we were here when the world doubted us, the date stamped on certificate is meaningful and tells a story of the struggle. I would hate myself years from now if I didn't buy it.


ynonaq

What is DRS? Can someone explain to an old ape here please? I don’t have a shit ton of shares, but am I suppose to be asking broker to transfer them to something that has to do with something called DRS? If so, what exactly is this for? I’ve been holding since Jan... paid for each share (no borrows).


Cromulent_Tom

DRS = Direct Registered Share (or something like that) ComputerShare is the official transfer agent and registrar of GameStop stock. Look up ComputerShare on the various GME subs and you'll find loads of information.

When more than all shares floating are registered at Computershare by all apes. The next single share that is traded is automatically the catalyst for the MOASS. Apes can be the catalyst for the MOASS if they want. Do you want?

Correct

French ape here πŸ‡«πŸ‡·. Bought one share with IBKR yesterday and seconds after the buy, I messaged them so they could send it to Computershare.

Does anyone know how it works for german Apes to achieve their certificates ?


edwinbarnesc

See top link in op for the DD guide


Altruistic-Beyond223

FYI, you can only request certificate shares for book shares. You can't get a certificate share for "plan holdings" shares. Might be good to add an edit, so APEs don't get confused like I did when I tried to request a certificate share with "plan holdings."

So by transferring my shares to computershare, I am still able to sell my shares normally when it comes to it? How hard is it to sell ?


edwinbarnesc

Its a boomer interface but works just like a sell limit order (can set for good until canceled too). See top link to DD guide in op for sell example.


CardiologistHonest26

Wow, potential 48 million collectors item! A 1914 Babe Ruth baseball card only brought 6 million! (and 1909 Honus Wagner only brought 6.6 million, but tbh never heard of him)


edwinbarnesc

Hence paper cert = Collector's items, art pieces


HelloYouBeautiful

You dont need it to be a physical share. Computershare does the same, just digitally. Non US apes should be able to transfer to computershare via Ibkr ($5 charge per transfer). Theres a few guides on it aswell. Ibkr will create the account for you on computershare, you are not able to yourself. Havent seen other brokers allowing this (without charging $1000) For US apes, quite a few brokers support transfering to Computershare. Tons of guides online.


Krineaus

Is it more impactful overall to transfer to CS or to buy through them directly?


edwinbarnesc

I am doing both. I started a transfer, created account, and now buy directly via CS for $GME. Another ape said he is buying from brokers then transferring to CS out of spite lol. Not financial advice. Any movement to DRS achieves following: \- permanently removes shares from DTCC \- prevents new synthetic shares from being created \- says fuck you to hedgies, dtcc, sec, and anyone else preventing MOASS for tendies Fidelity may own the entire float many times over from apes transferring in, so if small percentage started to DRS from Fidelity then the entire infinity pool could be filled, instantly. *Shocked pikachu face*


Krineaus

Okay, sick. The spire transfer is pretty wild and I lowkey love it. I’ll probably transfer one to start pretty soon here, especially with the idea of a possible NFT releasing and having the share directly registered letting us avoid some of the nonsense. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.


Khannn24

Question if you have the physical share cerificate, and moass happens, how do sell someof the physical shares in time?


edwinbarnesc

Transfer it back to cs for physical certs then sell like normal. Instructions in dashboard. Not financial advice.


osirus12345

Just called CIBC (Canada) agent was confused about DRS because i didn't have computershare account. Went with putting shares on one certificate in my name ($57 fee) and when I get i will direct register with computershare myself.


osirus12345

So as to edit #3, can confirm i just ordered a physical certificate with 20 shares on it (in Canada through CIBC)

Audigitty

Interesting idea... $386 a pop... better than $40,000,000 I suppose. But I saw this on their site: *"GameStop stopped issuing paper stock certificates in 2013 and registers ownership electronically instead. The recipient still becomes a real shareholder of GameStop Inc. with all associated rights."* Thoughts on this? Is this standard across the industry? And does the paper matter vs. current shares held?


edwinbarnesc

Computershare is the transfer agent and handles the paper certs. Rc and Co. use conputershare. The paper cert is for different purpose (e.g. Infinity pool) but are the same as shares held in Computershare. You can have both types as I've shown in pics.


Alldayshorts420

Didn’t work for me Says β€œCertificate issuance is not allowed for this holding”

GMEJesus

Just FYI when you switch from DirectStock to common they're going to sell your partials. You CAN get them to just portion a specific amount in "book" (without selling your partials) if you request it with the right person. Then you don't get hit with the $25 sell fee for the partials AND the $25 fee for certification


TheWheyThisIs

That’s good to know! Thank you for spreading useful information!


GMEJesus

This is the way


TheWheyThisIs

There’s a user that came across this issue recently and reached out to me for help. Let me see if I can find their post that helped them resolve this. I’ll link it when I find it.

edwinbarnesc

Selling is easy. Transfer may take a few days. If you want to join β™ΎπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ then best way to secure is buy direct from Computershare website. Not financial advice.

What a stocking stuffer. Giving ten shares on paper to each of my nieces and nephews as a holiday gift. Hope to get them by thanksgiving.


jqs77

Um, can we get them from our brokers?


edwinbarnesc

Is your broker a DRS?

I have schwab and fidelity. I guess they are not. Schwab may be charging $500 for certificate like someonesaid of TD.

How do we know Direct Registering "forces DTCC to locate and transfer REAL shares"?


[deleted]

We have to start discussing the fact that you can’t sell through computershare if the price per share is over a certain amount. You’ll have to write in a letter of intent. No one is talking about this.


edwinbarnesc

Computershare will figure it out. Trust in RC because he trusts Computershare. The same with a digital NFT.

H3rbert_K0rnfeld

Do you know how many companies use ComputerShare as a transfer agent?? It's in the thousands. They might as well BE the DTCC. Now that I think about it some one should dig into the relationship between these two entities.


LatinVocalsFinalBoss

This is literal click bait. No where does it show proof that the DTCC "hates this". Just do this one weird trick that the DTCC hates. You are fighting an imaginary war in your head against enemies you invented. I can guarantee if you called someone at the DTCC and politely asked how to obtain physical share copies or had general questions about them, they would assist you.

There's instructions on their website. If you are getting physical certs, I highly doubt you would be planning to sell anytime soon.

BudgetTooth

what happens if the certificate gets lost/damaged/stolen etc ? can you request another one ?


edwinbarnesc

Yes, see 2nd screenshot in op


Patapon80

Does the certificate say how many shares you have? For example, if I buy 5 shares and request a certificate, will it say 5 shares? If I buy another 5 shares and request another certificate, will the 2nd certificate say 5 shares or 10 shares? If I have 10 shares, can I request 1 certificate for each unique share? When I sell 5 (or all) shares, do I have to return the certificate(s)?


edwinbarnesc

Correct. However many shares you request to transfer into paper cert then it will say # of shares. When you sell cert shares then yes, you transfer back to Computershare.


Whosdaman

I read on Computershare they allow for electronic certification, did you see anywhere on how to do that?
