As investments, collectables.

Collectables, which are items of limited supply, are sought after for a variety reasons including possible increases in value. 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 downside to collecting collectables is the lack of liquidity, especially for obscure items. Fraud is also possible.

From the 1960s to the early 1990s, the major years of production for contemporary collectables were the 1960s and 1970s. Many people purchase collectables today to use and enjoy, but many others buy them as investments. Many of these pieces have been the subject to speculation. Duplicates are common as many people buy duplicates for investment. Although many collectables were described as limited editions, the actual production was large. There is little demand for many of the items made during this period and their market value is often very low.

Early manufactured collectables were offered as incentives along with other products such as cigarettes cards and packs of cigarettes. Popular items became a subject of "collectable fevers" and developed a secondary market. Many collectable items began to be sold individually, rather than being used as marketing tools to increase sales of other products.

Manufacturers often make a series of collectables to encourage collectors. Each item is differentiated in some way. Some examples include Beanie Babies cards featuring individual players and sports cards. Enthusiasts may attempt to gather all of the available variants.

Collector editions offer another way to support collectables. They are often limited editions and have additional content that collectors can value. This practice is most popular in videogames.

Collectable is an object considered to be valuable or of special interest by collectors. Collectables aren't always rare or of high monetary value. There are many terms and types of collectables.
