I know that some might look at collectibles as not "Money/Investment" but I know alot of people collect all sorts of items.

I am not a seller, my kids will get to enjoy selling all of my items.

I am curious to see or hear what everyone else collects.

Autographed LP & CD covers
Autographed photos
Autographed baseballs & football helmets
Music lithographs & posters
Music memorabilia
Sports trading cards
Coins
Signed fist day covers

I've been collecting since the 90's, more as a hobby than an investment. Although I am sure that if I get to sell all my collection I could easily get $15K.

Art work. It’s about the only collectible that appreciates in value at a rate at least comparable to other mediums.

ETA: There is also no real correlation to other investments like the stock market, real estate or crypto. I got smoked in the market last year, but art was up pretty decent amount (just such a small amount of overall investment it did not come close to offsetting).

I agree with this, I have several paintings and they have increased in value way more then my other items.

Helmets are my favorite thing. I have over 120 helmets and I would say atleast 70 of them are autographed.

I am running out of room in my man cave and in the process of adding another shelf for helmets. I have started putting old posters, flags and pictures on the ceiling.

Man thats actually kinda tough. The main painting I have that has increased alot is my LSU Blue Dog. Recently one sold for alittle over 5K.

I have several paintings that are original work by Chris Brown. Chris is the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame artist and does AWESOME work. I have also gotten a couple of things from Baton Rouge painter Chuck Braud who also does amazing items.

On those, I have no earthly idea how much they are worth. LOL
