I collect toys. I don't think of them as investments. I just enjoy them and think they're cool. I feel like this is the way with collecting. If it's all about the return then you don't really get the full enjoyment out of it and you set yourself up for disappointment when you want to sell and your precious aren't worth as much as you thought.

This is the way. I don’t know about pop culture toys, but I’m a caretaker of items that will outlast me. Preserving them is my responsibility. Cashing them in is only a last, last resort, and when you think about value appreciation over generations, it changes how you think about items - they can be relatively inflation proof items, a way to store wealth, maybe not grow wealth unless your time horizon is at least measured in decades. But I definitely think of my ownership as temporary.
