Any collectors out there and if so, what is it you're collecting. I'm looking for something new to get into. I've amassed a decent coin collection (all NGC or PCGS slabbed) and a good Garbage Pail Kids collection (all PSA or BGS, 1985 series 1 primarily but a couple from series 2). I've been thinking about Magic the Gathering cards but only focusing on those on the reserved list. But I'm not sure I trust them to honor that list in the future and a simple rule change can ruin a card's value.

Thoughts?

Great point - I've been eyeballing some CGC slabbed first appearances. My cherry for this would be Silver Surfer's first appearance - Fantastic Four #48

What is the reason you want to start a collection?

A hobby to connect with a fanbase? Warhammer minis.

Personal joy? I can't really say what would spark joy for you.

Profit? Get a real job.

Vinyl if you like music?

maybe paper currency but the market is way more niche than numismatics, I would assume the room for profit would be less than coins/precious metals.

If you do a fair bit of travelling, I'd recommend collector's spoons. Easy thing to find in souvenir shops when you visit a new place. Sometimes friends/family will gift you some from their travels.

I collect Transformers. I've got approx 1037 figures atm.

Also as of late with Hasbro's Power Rangers Lightning Collection and ZAP line, I've been grabbing the Megazords, MMPR rangers, and monsters.

It would be better to not treat collecting as an investment, that's what the stock market is for. Rather collect something because you are passionate about the subject matter or because it's interesting.

I collect artbooks. Mostly anime/game focused recently but I got most of everything I wanted for now so it's shifting back to non weeb stuff and kinda venturing towards architecture books now.

It won't grow into anything crazy but I would like to have enough to completely fill a home library by the time I'm retirement aged. I don't plan to sell anything unless I have to.
