Collectables are investments.

Collectables, which are items of limited supply, are sought after for a variety reasons including possible increases in value. As a financial hedge against inflation, collectables could be considered a form of insurance. Their value will increase as they become scarcer, damaged or destroyed over time. The main drawback to investing with collectables is the possible lack of liquidity, particularly in cases where they are very obscure. Fraud is also possible.

The 1960s to early 1990s were a significant time for modern collectables manufacturing. Some people bought collectables for personal enjoyment, while others purchased them to invest. 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. This means that there is not much demand for many, but not all, of these items, and their market prices are often low.

Early manufactured collectables were offered as incentives along with other products such as cigarettes cards and packs of cigarettes. Popular products developed secondary markets and often became the subject for "collectable crazes". Many collectables were eventually made available for sale separately and not as marketing tools.

Manufacturers often make a series of collectables to encourage collectors. Each item is differentiated in some way. You can find sports cards that feature individual players or different Beanie Babies designs. Enthusiasts may attempt to gather all of the available variants.

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 practice is most commonly used in video games.
