EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On February 9, 2018, Collectors Universe, Inc. (the "Company") filed this Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Consent of Grant Thornton LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, included as Exhibit 23.1 to that Registration Statement, erroneously stated that the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K was for the year ended December 31, 2017. In fact, that Annual Report was for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 solely to provide the Consent of Grant Thornton LLP which states that the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K was for the year ended June 30, 2017.
