Collector trends, whats popular now


Although trends in collecting come and go, the same staples remain. Trading cards, stamps, and coins remain most popular things to collect, with more niche markets such as sports memorabilia, comics, and video games gaining more and more popularity.

Coins have been collected since the dawn of civilization, and have been continuously collected throughout history for as long as they have been minted. Collecting error coins is one of the most popular categories of coin collecting, and they will always retain their value and worth. Collecting coins from other countries or time periods also remains popular, and hobbyists are able to amass a large collection this way.

Stamp collecting is another popular trend at the moment, and will most likely continue due to limited editions being printed on a yearly basis and keeping collectors in tune. People collect stamps for a multitude of reasons, and as with any type of collection, interest and the laws of supply and demand will keep your collection retain value.

Sports memorabilia is a booming business, and along with trading cards, has a large following and can have a wide range of collectors. Baseball cards have been popular with kids since the nineteenth century, and ripping open a pack of cards either as a casual hobbyist or high-stakes roller will always provide a great thrill.

Comic books are certainly a more niche market, along with video games, but with iconic superheroes and gaming characters becoming more accepted in the mainstream, the cult status is disappearing. A 1938 Superman #1 comic sold for 3.2 million dollars, and prices in both markets for retro and original editions have skyrocketed. You never know what is laying around in your grandma’s attic!
