Collectables made into investments

Collectables refer to items of limited availability that are sought for a number of reasons, including potential increases in value. As a financial hedge against inflation, collectables could be considered a form of insurance. As they become rarer due to damage, loss, or destruction, their value may increase over time. The downside to collecting collectables is the lack of liquidity, especially for obscure items. Fraud is also a possibility.

From the 1960s until the early 90s, these were important years for the manufacture of contemporary collectables. Many people purchase collectables today to use and enjoy, but many others buy them as investments. Many of these pieces became popular investments, leading to speculative markets. Duplicates are very common because so many people bought these pieces for investment. 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.

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. For example, you might find Beanie Babies with different designs or sports cards depicting players. Enthusiasts often attempt to collect all the variations.

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