You may have heard that people enjoy collecting things over the years. Collecting can be very fun, while stressful because of having to purchase extremely rare things before they sell out. This also might mean looking at different websites every 10 minutes to see if anything vintage is selling, or staying up until 4 a.m. just to get a certain collector's item.
Things people like to collect are:
Stamps
Coins
Bottle caps
Trading Cards
Mugs
Pens
Vinyl Records
Vintage toys
And many more things! Here is a brief description of each thing listed above:
Stamps:
Many people like to collect stamps. Not the type of stamps that you dip into ink, but the stamps that are used to ship letters.
Coins:
There are many vintage coins around the world that are no longer produced and that used to be very common, and now are extremely rare. An example of this is pennies, their production has recently stopped. Hold on to your pennies, because they may become REALLY rare in the next years!
Bottle caps:
Many bottle caps that people collect are soda bottle caps, usually made of steel. Soda brands’ bottles have evolved over time, and old versions of the bottles aren’t in production anymore.
Trading cards:
Trading cards are frequently collected, especially the rare ones. Pokèmon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards are the most popular trading cards, but there are other ones as well. Trading cards are frequently collected because many people have opened packs and managed to get rare ones.
Mugs:
Mugs are something not that popular to collect, which makes it even harder to find the rare mugs. A popular mug that gets collected is the classic Disney mugs, which are extremely difficult to find.
Pens:
Pens, like mugs, aren’t a very popular thing being collected, because they are so easy to find, but certain brands can become very rare, which is why people collect them.
Vinyl records:
Vinyl records are rare and collected because not many people have record players. Vintage singers used to all have records, but now only a couple of singers do this.
Vintage toys:
Vintage toys are pretty hard to find and usually from around the 1900s (hence the name vintage toys). A couple of examples of vintage toys are Care Bear plushies, figurines, etc.
