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. A drawback of investing in collectables, particularly for rare items, is the possibility of not having enough liquidity. The risk of fraud is another danger.

The 1960s through early 1990s were key years in the production of modern collectables. 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 very common because so many people bought these pieces for investment. Although many collectables were described as limited editions, the actual production was large. As a result, the market is low for many of the products produced during this period.

As incentives, early manufactured collectables included cigarette cards in cigarettes packs. Popular items became a subject of "collectable fevers" and developed a secondary market. 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 rare and often contain extra content that could be of value to collectors. This is most common in videogames.
