Collectables are investments.

Collectables can be items in limited supply that are wanted for various reasons, including an increase in value. As a financial hedge against inflation, collectables could be considered a form of insurance. They can also appreciate in value over time due to their rarity, destruction, loss, and damage. There is one drawback to investing, especially in obscure collectables. Fraud is also possible.

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. These pieces are often traded on speculative 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. 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 items found a secondary marketplace and became popular enough to be the subject of "collectible trends". Many collectables were eventually made available for sale separately and not as marketing tools.

Manufacturers create whole collections of a collectable to encourage collection. You can find sports cards that feature individual players or different Beanie Babies designs. Many enthusiasts will attempt to build a complete set.

Collector editions support collectables in a different way. Collector editions are usually limited in number and can contain valuable additional content. This is a common practice in video games.
