Ladies and Gentlemen:

The following responses address the comments of the reviewing Staff of the Commission as set forth in a comment letter dated September 14, 2005 (the "Comment Letter") relating to the Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the "Information Statement") of Collectible Concepts Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The answers set forth herein refer to each of the Staffs' comments by number.

We are filing herewith Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Information Statement.

Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------

Description of Business, page 2 -------------------------------

1. Please revise your disclosure to identify your major (89%) customer. See Item 101(b)(6) of Regulation S-B.

<PAGE>

Securities and Exchange Commission October 20, 2005 Page 2 of 7

Response --------

Pursuant to Item 101(b)(6) of Regulation S-B, we have revised our disclosure to indicate that CLP Group is a major customer, who accounted for 89% of our revenues during our last fiscal year. We have also included a risk factor on our dependence on our major customer.

Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters, page 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------

2. Please provide the disclosure required by Item 201(d) of Regulation S-B.

Response --------

We have revised our disclosure to indicate that we do not have any stock option plans as of February 28, 2005, as required by Item 201(d) of Regulation S-B.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, page 7 -----------------------------------------------

3. We note your disclosure of recent sales of unregistered securities. Please furnish the complete disclosure required by Item 701 of Regulation S-B. In this regard, please indicate the section of the Securities Act or the rule of the Commission under which exemption from registration was claimed and state briefly the facts relied upon to make the exemption available. Please provide us with your legal analysis as to why these issuances of securities should not be integrated and should not have been registered under the Securities Act.

Response --------

We have revised our disclosure to include all information required by Item 701 of Regulation S-B. We believe that the issuances of unregistered securities should not be integrated and did not need to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The reasons we believe there The issuance of shares were to a limited number of accredited investors who all had an ongoing relationship with us. The number of shares issued represented less than 10% of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, we directly discussed the issuance of the shares with the receipient, and there were no mechanisms of a public offering. In addition, applying the factors from the five-part test set forth in Securities Act Release 33-4552 (November 6, 1962), we do not believe there is a basis for integration. Looking at the two most important factors, as set forth in Sonnenblick, Parker & Selvers, the financings did not consitute a single plan of financing and the offerings were not for the same general purpose. Even if the offerings were to be integrated, which we do not believe they should, the integrated offering would be exempt from registration pursuant to exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D.

<PAGE>

Securities and Exchange Commission October 20, 2005 Page 3 of 7

4. We note that you disclose that you do not have a sufficient number of authorized shares available to issue to convertible debt holders if they all converted their shares to common stock. Please provide greater disclosure as to how this miscalculation occurred and the steps necessary to authorize additional shares.

Response --------

We have expanded our disclosure under liquidity and capital resources, in the management's discussion and analysis or plan or operations section to discuss why we do not have enough authorized but unissued shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of the convertible debt. We have further disclosed the steps necessary to authorized additional shares of common stock.

5. Please revise the disclosure of your sales of unregistered securities in this section to ensure that it is internally consistent and consistent with the disclosure under Liquidity and Capital Resources. You also should include the issuances of convertible notes in this disclosure.

Response --------

We did not issue any convertible notes during the three months ended February 28, 2005, therefore, we do not provide any disclosure under Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. In addition, we have reviewed our disclosures under Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities and Liquidity and Capital Resources and do not believe that the disclosure is inconsistent. If the Staff has any particular disclosures it would like us to clarify, we would be happy to do so.

8. Please include in your disclosure the impact on liquidity of the terms of your Securities Purchase Agreement with AJW Offshore Ltd., AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, JW Partners, LLC and Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC. Please add disclosure that addresses the possibility that the number of shares you issue in connection with a draw down under the Securities Purchase Agreement will be based upon a discount to the then prevailing market price and, as a result, the lower the stock price at the time of the draw down, the more common shares the stockholder will receive. To the extent that these investors receive and then sell their common stock, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares is the market. This could allow these investors to receive even greater amounts of common stock, the sales of which would further depress the stock price.
