Business Editors

DOYLESTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 4, 2001

Ted Patton, Vice President of International Sales and Assistant to the Chairman of the Board for Collectible Concepts Group, Inc. (OTC:CCGR), is pleased to announce that it has become the master distributor of a line of investment quality baseball collectibles, in an agreement with Best of Sports, Inc. of Lake Park, Florida.

These detailed statues were produced by Southland Plastics and modeled after the famous Hartland Plastic Statues from the 1950's.

Under this agreement, CCGR will market these items under its Collectbaseball.com division both on a wholesale and a direct marketing approach.

CCGR will initially market five figurines, Nolan Ryan (considered by many to be one of the greatest pitchers of all time), Greg Maddux (Four time Cy Young Award winner), Ken Griffey Jr. (A second generation superstar), Tony Gwynn (Winner of 8 batting championships), and Shoeless Joe Jackson (Second only to Ty Cobb in lifetime batting average with a .356).

With the exception of Joe Jackson, each statue will also be offered with an authentic autographed signature plate.

Robert Fitzgerald, National Sales Director of CCGR, states, "...I am very excited about adding these fine collectibles to our existing product lines. Initial response from our sales representatives has been excellent."

Paul Lipschutz, C.E.O. of Collectible Concepts, states, "...with our strong roots in baseball memorabilia, this fine line of collectibles and the future additions and refinements to the line, will be an additional revenue source for the company. Our plans include adding or converting more sports related products in to distributor type arrangements which will allow more rapid expansion without the hard costs of product development."

Best of Sports spokesperson, Robert Yastrzemski, states, "...if these figurines sell as well as expected, additional famous players will be added to the product line."

Headquartered in Doylestown, Pa., Collectible Concepts Group, Inc. develops and markets unique licensed entertainment, sports, and music collectible merchandise for mass retail and online distribution.
