Collectables are investments.

Collectables are limited-supply items that are desired for their potential value increase. Collectors can be considered as a hedge against inflation in a financial perspective. Their value can increase over time as they become less common due to damage, loss or destruction. The main drawback to investing with collectables is the possible lack of liquidity, particularly in cases where they are very obscure. There are also risks of fraud.

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. Due to the high number of people who bought them for investment, duplicates are quite common. Even though many collectibles were labeled "limited editions", there was a large number of actual items. There is little demand for many of the items made during this period and their market value is often very low.

Collectables that were manufactured in the early days were used as incentives for other products. Popular items found a secondary marketplace and became popular enough to be the subject of "collectible trends". Many collectable items began to be sold individually, rather than being used as marketing tools to increase sales of other products.

Manufacturers will often produce a whole series of a particular collectable to encourage collecting. One example is a set of Beanie Babies or sports cards featuring players. Enthusiasts may attempt to gather all of the available variants.

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

Collectable A collectable, also known as a collector's item or collection, is any object that is valued or has collector value. Collectables aren't always rare or of high monetary value. There are many types of collectables, and there are different terms to describe them. An antique collectable is one that is very old. A curio, or small, unusual item that collectors are interested in is called a curio. A manufactured collectable, on the other hand, is an item designed for people to collect.

A "manufactured" collection (often called a contemporary collectable), is an item that was made for collectors. Collectables can include plates, figurines or bells as well as graphics, steins, steins, and dolls. The Gift and Collectibles Guild members include some companies that make manufactured collectables.
