As investments, collectables.

Collectables are limited-supply items that are desired for their potential value increase. A collectable can be seen as an inflation hedge in a financial sense. They can also appreciate in value over time due to their rarity, destruction, loss, and damage. A drawback of investing in collectables, particularly for rare items, is the possibility of not having enough liquidity. Fraud is also possible.

The 1960s to early 1990s were a significant time for modern collectables manufacturing. Many people purchase collectables today to use and enjoy, but many others buy them as investments. Many of these pieces have been the subject to speculation. Duplicates are not uncommon because so many people bought the pieces to invest. Even though many collectibles were labeled "limited editions", there was a large number of actual items. As a result, the market is low for many of the products produced during this period.

Collectables that were manufactured in the early days were used as incentives for other products. Popular items found a secondary market, and were often the subject of "collectible crazes". Many collectable items began to be sold individually, rather than being used as marketing tools to increase sales of other products.

Manufacturers may create a whole collection of one collectable in order to encourage collecting. You can find sports cards that feature individual players or different Beanie Babies designs. Enthusiasts often attempt to collect all the variations.

Collector editions can be another way to support collectables. Collector editions are rare and often contain extra content that could be of value to collectors. This is most common in videogames.

Collectable A collectable, also known as a collector's item or collection, is any object that is valued or has collector value. Collectables aren't always rare or of high monetary value. There are many types and terms that can be used to distinguish these types of collectables. An antique is an item that is older than the rest. A curio (small, interesting or unusual item) is one that collectors want. A manufactured collection is an item created specifically for collectors.

A "manufactured collectable" is an item designed for collectors. Plaques, dolls and figurines are some examples of collectable items. The Gift and Collectibles Guild is a membership organization that includes companies that make manufactured collectables.
