IMO, the thing about collectibles is that you would need to be way ahead to make money.

GI joes were collectable in the 90s, and I'm pretty sure almost no GI joes made in the 90s are valuable now. Same with baseball cards.

Legos have value now that were bought long ago or in special circumstances, but the vast majority will be worth less in the future than today.

More than I thought. $1000+ is pretty impressive:

I could be wrong, but those were all from the 1980s and became valuable in the 1990s. The 1990s gi joes never really gained value because so many people collected them
