In other words you're saying....
If you were interested in a class B restricted stock that you've never owned, never seen, and will never own or see - you would call up a broker to ask about a stock they have never owned or seen; to ask if they would transfer? Given the fact that eTrade has never seen the transfer restrictions clearly printed on the cert and neither have you...
If I was the broker the first thing I would tell you, (after my sides quit splitting and picking the phone up off the floor), is, "I don't know. Why not get a cert and read the thing to me."
When I was six years old my Mom used to collect coupons; store coupons, green stamps, it didn't really matter to her. I had young eyes then and noticed they had cash value - you guessed it - some of Mom's coupons went "missing" sometimes. I got really obsessed with building up enough stamps to earn a penny. A penny was worth something in those days. Sadly, the enormity of the task ahead soon became clear and Mom's breadbox suddenly became stuffed with coupons.
The thing about it, if you would have told me back then that the bank would refuse, even if I saved enough coupons to earn a penny - I would have totally agreed with you. This might amaze you, but even at that young age I knew the difference between cash and coupons.
Just like coupons, B-share certs have fine print. In the case of Colorado Goldfield class B's the transfer instructions are in large print. In fact, "Transferable" is the first word.
It's very well possible the reason nobody that has class B's is answering your driving question is, they can read.
Unfortunately, while the advise you give me is free, the info you want off my class B cert is not.
