Collectables made into investments

Collectables refer to items of limited availability that are sought for a number of reasons, including potential increases in value. Collectors can be considered as a hedge against inflation in a financial perspective. 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 possible.

The 1960s through early 1990s were key years in the production of modern collectables. 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 common as many people buy duplicates for investment. While many collectables were listed as "limited editions", their actual production numbers were very high. As a result, the market is low for many of the products produced during this period.

Incentives were often included in early manufactured collectables, such as cigarette card packs or cigarette cards. Popular items found a secondary marketplace and became popular enough to be the subject of "collectible trends". Many collectibles began to be sold as separate items, rather than being used in marketing to increase sales for other products.

Manufacturers create whole collections of a collectable to encourage collection. For example, you might find Beanie Babies with different designs or sports cards depicting players. Many enthusiasts will attempt to build a complete set.

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