378-430: A possible increase in value. In a financial sense, collectables can be viewed as a hedge against inflation. Over time, their value can also increase as they become rarer due to loss, damage or destruction. One drawback to investing in collectables is the potential lack of liquidity, particularly for very obscure items. There is also a risk for fraud. Digital collecting takes place in the blockchain , and it got popular at

420-505: A secondary market and sometimes became the subject of "collectable crazes". Eventually many collectable items came to be sold separately, instead of being used as marketing tools to increase the appeal of other products.

Examples include sports cards depicting individual players, or different designs of Beanie Babies . Enthusiasts will often try to assemble
