The Most Popular Collectibles
22 items ranked
Some innate urge in human nature spurs us to collect things. You see it in children all the time; rocks, shells, odds and ends of pretty things lined up in rows on their dressers or shelves. But you see it in adults too. Collecting has become a national passtime. But what are the most popular things to collect?

4.
Figurines
From Hummel to dollar store brands, collecting figurines has always been a popular passtime. The more expensive figurines can also be an excellent investment as they usually sell for more than their purchase price.

5.
Crystal
For those with the money, collecting crystal has for decades been a popular pastime. Crystal is also a great investment, as it can be sold later as need be and almost always brings in an excellent price.

Collectible Spoons
these little beauties sell as well as the shot glasses, and are sold just about everywhere with their handles advertising places of interest. Racks are sold to hold and display them and I suppose that in a pinch they could be used for practical purposes, like eating.

Shot Glasses
For some reason collecting shot glasses has become extremely popular. Even places that don't sell - or condone selling alcohol (like zoos and history meuseums) sell shot glasses for collectors.
