What are good candidate items to collect for long-term?
I’ve heard stories about people collecting comic books and storing them in the garage or stamps or coins etc. Im looking for a hobby and really enjoy browsing garage sales and thrift stores. What would be candidates for future or long-term value appreciation? thanks
It’s all about speculation.
I remember when Coca Cola anounced that it was going to change it’s formula and never again manufacture the old Coke.
People went nuts buying up 6-packs and 8-packs of bottled coke for as much as $60-70 per 8-pack!
A few weeks later, Coke announced that it had reconsidered and will manufacture the old formula under the name “Classic Coke”.
Everyone who had bought up the old stuff went bust overnight.
