COLLECTIBLES |
 |
 |

A collectible
(or collectable) is a manufactured item designed for
people to collect. Collectibles are specifically created
for the purpose of collecting. In this respect, they
are distinguishable from other subjects of collections,
which may also include natural objects (e.g., butterflies)
and objects manufactured for purposes other than collecting
(e.g., stamps). However, sometimes objects designed
for other purposes, such as toys, become so popular
among collectors that they are later marketed specifically
to that audience. Star Wars action figures are a good
example of this phenomenon.
The earliest collectibles were included as incentives
with other products, such as cigarette cards in packs
of cigarettes. Popular items developed a secondary
market and sometimes became the subject of "collectible
crazes". Eventually many collectible items came
to be sold separately, instead of being used as marketing
tools to increase the appeal of other products.
To encourage collecting, manufacturers often create
an entire series of a given collectible, with each
item differentiated in some fashion. Examples include
sports cards depicting individual players, or different
designs of beanie baby. Enthusiasts will often try
to assemble a complete set of the available variations.
The early versions of a product, manufactured in smaller
quantities before its popularity as a collectible developed,
sometimes command exorbitant premiums on the secondary
market. In a mature market, collectibles rarely prove
to be a spectacular investment.
