  • Jackie Robinson's Original 1945 Montreal Royals and Original 1947
    OLLECTORS CAFE PRESENTS Jackie Robinson’s Original 1945 Montreal Royals and Original 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers Contracts Founding Documents of the Civil Rights Movement OLLECTORS CAFE The Global, Lifestyle, Collectibles Brand is Coming! The Collectibles and Memorabilia industry is a $250+ billion dollar per year global market that is substantially fragmented with no one entity owning more than one half of one percent of market share. Further, there is NO MEETING PLACE for collectors to gather with other like minded collectors socially, and display their passion for their own collections. Lastly, there is no place to purchase all categories of collectibles, under one trusted umbrella, in a safe, AUTHENTICITY INSURED, environment. This is all about to change with the launch of the Collectors Cafe Company, where “PRE-APPRAISED, “PRE-AUTHENTICATED” and “PRE-INSURED” collectibles will be coming soon. Through the invention of AUTHENTICITY INSURANCE by company founder Mykalai Kontilai, Collectors Cafe has successfully executed agreements with some of the largest insurance companies who will underwrite all collectibles offered on the website. Lloyds of London (Hiscox), AIG, Liberty Mutual, Chubb, C.V Starr, Navigators, and XL are all exclusive underwriters and partners. This amazing accomplishment, we believe, will spark a COLLECTIBLES REVOLUTION, which will begin to consolidate the industry through the first online and global “One-Stop Shop” for buying, selling, and social networking for the entire collectibles market place. Driving the brand will be a plethora of multi-media assets, including but not limited to, the Collectors Cafe TV Series, The Collectors Cafe Blogger Network, The Collectors Tube Digital Content Platform, The Collectors Cafe Celebrity Collector Portal, The Collectors Cafe Master Dealer Network, and the Collectors Cafe IP Portfolio.

Twins history began in 1961 when Washington Senators president Calvin Griffith made the historic decision to move his family’s team to the Midwest, settling on the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Minnesota. The new team was named after the state’s famous Twin Cities and began their inaugual season with a talented roster featuring Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, Camilo Pascual, and Jim Lemon. Homegrown talents Jim Kaat, Zoilo Versalles, Jimmie Hall, and Tony Oliva combined with the Twins already potent nucleus to make the team a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s.

The award recognizes proactive leadership, commitment to sound business practices, quality product, efficiency, reliability and accountability as key attributes in its recipients. In 1998, MLB Commissioner, Allan H. (Bud) Selig, authorized the creation of the Diverse Business Partner program, a business initiative established to cultivate new and existing partnerships with minority- and women-owned businesses by increasing opportunities for them to participate in the procurement activities of MLB. “Working with the Minnesota Twins and Major League Baseball is both fun and rewarding, and we‟re honored to be recognized by this award among our peers in the Diverse Business Partner program,” said Jennifer Smith, CEO of Innovative Office Solutions. “Innovative Office Solutions strives for excellence with our „Relationships Matter‟ approach to customer service, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Minnesota Twins.” Smith accepted the award and threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis as MLB celebrated Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, 2009, the 62nd anniversary of his courageous trot onto the field as the first African-American to play in the Major Leagues. Smith established Innovative Office Solutions in 2001, and has grown the organization into a multimillion dollar office supply company.
