By Rhonda Dean


People have collectibles for many different reasons, a family member or someone who owns a collection may have introduced them to it. They may have seen a film and loved it so much that the memorabilia has caught their eye and they have decided to bring it together piece by piece.

Whatever the reason and whatever is collected by the large number of people around which do this, these things all provide a form of relaxation. These collections can become quite large or remain relatively small and they can be expensive or quite inexpensive.

There are those who have taken up collecting stamps and these can range from many different countries, or the country they live in. It can encompass such things as bird or animals, some will decide they like flowers or other may like something else. Stamps have a great variety and a long history to choose subject matter from.

There are some countries that have printed baseball cards and these are quite popular, while there are other cards from science fiction movies that are just as popular. Figurines have also been well liked and these have covered many different age groups. Films and TV series which have promoted figurines such as princesses or other characters have become great collector items.

Rock stars and singers once they become very popular can provide large amounts of memorabilia which some people like to have and these items have increased quite quickly in value when one of these pop stars may have died. Paintings are also something which has a very good market value over a period of time and some collection that have been sold after being in the hands of one person, have realized a small fortune.

There are those who specialize in very old lamps, lovely porcelain, beautiful crystal glassware, dolls, bears and rare coins and get their collections together over a lifetime of searching. Others may like the large machines such as the old cars, trucks and tractors. Because of their large size only a few may be kept but are often lovingly restored to their former glory, because the owner just likes something special about them.

People may search in many areas for items to add to what they have. Places they visit could be auctions of the particular items they keep, private collections, purchases through particular outlets and online auctions. Wherever the items are found there are those who may take this part of what they are keeping very seriously.

There are many things which can be found to collect and this has become quite an interesting pastime for some. People who take this seriously may attend fairs and meetings, auctions and many other places to keep up to date. Most collectors often find a pleasure in what they have collected and will take time to admire what they have achieved.
