Echo Collectibles, an Arizona-based startup, will begin selling a series of commemorative medallions, tickets, art prints and VIP lanyards made with precious metals in a new partnership with Arsenal later this year. The collaboration will include limited-edition gold and silver medallions authenticated by coin grader NGC as Echo seeks to popularize collectible precious metals in sports. Early price points range from $50 for lower-end commemorative golden tickets to $10,000 for one-ounce, 24-karat gold graded medallions.Echo’s first launch with a Premier League club will commemorate historic Arsenal matches from their first Premier League title-winning season since 2004 through silver ($500-$750 each) and gold medallions. An exact release date for the first medallions has yet to be determined, but they are expected to launch after the season ends.Mark Salzberg founded Certified Collectibles Group (CCG), one of the leading graders of comics, coins, trading cards and more, in 1987. He co-founded Echo Collectibles because he believes there’s a path to crossing over the popularity of collectible coins and precious metals with sports, an area where trading cards and autographed memorabilia dominate, if approached correctly.“The sports world already has that kind of inclination to collect and this is precious metal, limited edition,” Salzburg told The Athletic. “If you do it with the teams, you have access to their IP, their archive, and it can go all the way back as long as the team has been around, and you can leverage those assets in a way that nobody’s ever done.”Echo’s partnership with Arsenal will deepen for the start of the 2026-27 Premier League season through a series of match-specific coins. Each release will be a limited run of mostly silver coins and a smaller number made from gold. Echo also plans to create art prints and a series of commemorative tickets. The artwork will be printed using 24-karat gold and sold during an exhibition later this year at The Diamond Club in Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. Commemorative tickets will be offered either graded and encapsulated in a protective case or on their own, with ultra-rare variations containing more gold than common copies.
