Putting Money into Savings Accounts will get you nowhere!

Investing a portion of your Savings into Collectibles will net a handsome profit, far above the 2% CD rates or .5% Savings Account rates offered by banks and credit unions.

I used to laugh at my friends who kept all their childhood toys.  Matchbox cars, Hot Wheels, Star Wars and dolls of all types.  I really gave a hard time to those who kept their old toy tractors and implements from the 50's, 60's and 70's.

Then, I noticed the value of those toys going through the roof as I attended toy shows, antique shows and auctions.  Now who's laughing?

This is a very short Guide to simply point out that when it comes to collectibles, the law of "Supply and Demand" is still in play.  As long as there are a limited number of items, whether it is farm toys, Disney, Star Wars or collectibles like Red Wing Pottery, Cast Iron Door Stops, Dazey Butter Churns or Coffee Grinders, the money you spend on good quality collectibles will most likely gain value faster than a simple savings account or CD. 

The key is to become educated in a few key areas, specialize in your knowledge of those areas and look for value that has potential for gain.  Personally, I enjoy the fact that you can look at and enjoy your collectibles while they grow in value.  If your taste changes, you can sell your collection and reinvest in something else.  Collecting is fun and profitable and will beat a bank savings account anyday!
