It used to be people got into collecting something just cause they enjoyed it. Now it's all about how much it's worth. It's an investment now and can't be touched or taken out of the box,etc.

This is completely false. Colletibles didn't just magically start being worth money the last few years, this is nothing new.

Ever hear of these things called "baseball cards"?

That's not speculators, that's the internet allowing speculation to spread.

Ever hear of these things called "Cabbage Patch Kids"? 40 years ago Karens were trading blows at Sears to get their hands on one.

Still doesn't change the fact collectibles have always been an investment and had people paying big bucks for rarer pieces.
