Collectables are investments.

Collectables can be items in limited supply that are wanted for various reasons, including an increase in value. Collectables can be seen as a financial hedge against inflation. As they become rarer due to damage, loss, or destruction, their value may increase over time. A drawback of investing in collectables, particularly for rare items, is the possibility of not having enough liquidity. Fraud is also a possibility.

The 1960s to early 1990s were a significant time for modern collectables manufacturing. Although some people purchased collectables for their own enjoyment and personal use, others bought them as investments. Many of these pieces were the subject of speculation markets. Due to the high number of people who bought them for investment, duplicates are quite common. Although many collectables were described as limited editions, the actual production was large. There is little demand for many of the items made during this period and their market value is often very low.

Collectables that were manufactured in the early days were used as incentives for other products. Popular products developed secondary markets and often became the subject for "collectable 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. Some examples include Beanie Babies cards featuring individual players and sports cards. Enthusiasts may attempt to gather all of the available variants.

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