As investments, collectables.

Collectables can be items in limited supply that are wanted for various reasons, including an increase in value. A collectable can be seen as an inflation hedge in a financial sense. 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. Many people purchase collectables today to use and enjoy, but many others buy them as investments. These pieces are often traded on speculative markets. Duplicates are not uncommon because so many people bought the pieces to invest. While many collectables were listed as "limited editions", their actual production numbers were very high. This means that there is not much demand for many, but not all, of these items, and their market prices are often low.

Early manufactured collectables were offered as incentives along with other products such as cigarettes cards and packs of cigarettes. Popular products developed secondary markets and often became the subject for "collectable crazes". Many collectible items were eventually sold separately instead of being used to market other products.

Manufacturers create whole collections of a collectable to encourage collection. One example is a set of Beanie Babies or sports cards featuring players. Many enthusiasts will attempt to build a complete set.

Collector editions are another way to support collectables. They are typically limited edition and include additional content that can prove valuable to collectors. This practice is most popular in videogames.
