Collectables can be used as investments.

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. Their value can increase over time as they become less common due to damage, loss or destruction. The downside to collecting collectables is the lack of liquidity, especially for obscure items. Fraud is also possible.

From the 1960s to the early 1990s, the major years of production for contemporary collectables were the 1960s and 1970s. While some collectables were purchased for enjoyment and use, many people also bought them as investment pieces. Many of these pieces have been the subject to speculation. Duplicates are not uncommon because so many people bought the pieces to invest. Although many collectables were described as limited editions, the actual production was large. As a result, the market is low for many of the products produced during this period.

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 may create a whole collection of one collectable in order to encourage collecting. One example is a set of Beanie Babies or sports cards featuring players. Enthusiasts often attempt to collect all the variations.

Collector editions offer another way to support collectables. They are typically limited edition and include additional content that can prove valuable to collectors. This practice is most commonly used in video games.

Collectable Any object that collectors consider valuable or interesting is called a collectable. Collectable items may not be rare or monetarily highly valuable.

A manufactured collectable, on the other hand, is an item designed for people to collect.

Some items that are commonly collected include dolls, plates, figurines (including bells), graphics, steins and steins), as well as bells, graphics and steins.
