The Certified Collectibles Group (CCG) has promoted Ralph Russo to the position of Executive Vice President.

“Ralph Russo has made a tremendous impact at CCG,” CCG President Max Spiegel said. “His deep financial expertise, strategic mindset and strong work ethic have been invaluable as we position the company for continued success. Everyone who has worked with Ralph immediately sees the value of his contributions, and I am excited to see how much more he will accomplish in this expanded role.”

Russo joined the collectibles grading and authenticating company in 2022, and has worked to expand and improve CCG through new services, entering new markets, partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions. His work has also included leading their strategy for the future.

When CCG acquired autograph authenticator James Spence Authentication (JSA) in March 2024, Russo led the integration of JSA services with CCG’s business. In his new role, Russo will partner with JSA’s leadership team to find opportunities for growth and improve efficiency.

“I’m thrilled to be part of the best team in the authentication and grading business, and am excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to provide world-class services to collectors and dealers everywhere,” Russo said.
