What makes anything valuable is supply and demand. If everyone collected things the supply wouldn't be low enough to generate enough demand for high value. The trick is to get something that will be both rare and sought after. Since that's not possible to predict, I don't collect for an investment but a passion. If I get rich from it, that's a bonus. People didn't collect comics in the 40's and 50's which is why a Superman #1 is so rare.

The bike in my profile is extremely rare. Only several hundred were made, but not many people want them so they're not expensive. But if all of a sudden people start seeking them, I'm sitting on a gold mine... Literally.
