Collectables are investments.

Collectables, which are items of limited supply, are sought after for a variety reasons including possible increases in value. 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. There is one drawback to investing, especially in obscure collectables. There are also risks of fraud.

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. Many of these pieces have been the subject to speculation. Duplicates are not uncommon because so many people bought the pieces to invest. Many collectibles were marked as "limited editions" but the actual number produced was huge. As a result, the market is low for many of the products produced during this period.

Collectables that were manufactured in the early days were used as incentives for other products. Popular items became a subject of "collectable fevers" and developed a secondary market. Many collectibles began to be sold as separate items, rather than being used in marketing to increase sales for other products.

Manufacturers will often produce a whole series of a particular collectable to encourage collecting. Some examples include Beanie Babies cards featuring individual players and sports cards. 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.
