I bought one share in 2002 from a novelty company called OneShare, and in 2004 they voted to do a 1:2 stock split, so they mailed me a second certificate.

Did you get paid out when Verizon acquired yahoo? Upon reading it looks like yahoo inc became altaba.

Yahoo is now owned by Apollo Global Management which is worth $117 a share today.Â

I’m ashamed to say that I badly wanted one for my one of my GME (GameStop) shares 😅
But they stopped giving them out because of the overwhelming demand from delusional dumbasses like me

Too bad it’s not Berkshire Hathaway.

That converted into Altaba which has been (very slowly) paying out liquidating distributions.Â

“For automated stock prices, please state the company name.”
Animotion.
“Animotion: Up one and one-half.”
YAHOO!
“Yahoo: Up six and a quarter.”
Huh? What is this crap?
“Fox Broadcasting: Down eight.”

So there should have been a buyout of your stock in 2017 when it was acquired by Verizon. I no longer have access to that information but because of how long ago that was you may be outside of the window to execute the conversion.

A printed certificate for one share is weird.

Just to sum up my reading of the comments, along with my research.
Yahoo did not get bought by Verizon, Verizon bought some assets from Yahoo, leaving Yahoo as essentially an investment shell called Altaba.
Altaba liquidated last year at 20 cents a share. So congratulations, your paper is worth slightly less than the cost of the stamp they would use to send you your earnings.

Amusingly, I found this last piece of information on Yahoo: [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/altaba-announces-liquidating-distribution-0-200000257.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/altaba-announces-liquidating-distribution-0-200000257.html)
More info about the asset sale (at the time the name Altaba was not known, and they were internally calling it RemainCo): [https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/30/business/dealbook/yahoos-sale-to-verizon-leaves-shareholders-with-little-say.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/30/business/dealbook/yahoos-sale-to-verizon-leaves-shareholders-with-little-say.html)
Reading comments, this is like owning a NFT
I know someone who worked at Yahoo when Yahoo was Yahoo. He retired at age 28.
