My 82 year old mother has 400+ Hummels and we still have my fathers coins, paper money, and stamps. my brother and I collect video games and toys. We very much enjoy your talks. We are enthusiasts so are not looking to make money, but we want to know enough so that we do not overpay.
I liked every topic you talked about so far because sometimes, it lets me learn about items that are in the family, so I feel better prepared when entering some of those markets. I'd enjoy a video talking about what variables affect one vs multi-generation collectibles. Besides something like "objective" historical value vs subjective nostalgia or pop cultural hype, I hope there's more to unpack there.
Regarding Hot Wheels, I understand where you are going, many of the mainline cars are mass produced, but what about limited variations such as the treasure hunts/super treasure hunts or RLC cars? Or even the chase M2 cars that are limited to 750? Do you see these growing in the future? I would love to see a video on this if you haven’t released one already
Great video! I've watched several others and enjoyed them all. Suggestion for a future topic: the dreaded taxes. Things such as the tax implications of selling collectibles (short vs long term), the "like-kind" exchange being eliminated for collectibles, other general info, etc.
Dude srsly thank you u gave a window into something I could legitimately do and be happy about and engaged I know u prov seen this a bunch of times but tyy for giving me hope widought even trying
I personally love uranium glass because of the sheer eye appeal. Certainly not an investment so I can scope out pieces at Thrift stores and yard sales for a buck each. Some fancier pieces still sell to collectors for a few bucks here and there but I feel like the chandeliers are the last of the "valuable" pieces.
Hi there, I think you mentioned in a video that original art is a stable market. Were you referring to any type of art or comic book original art. Comic original art appears to be high demand, looking solely at historical prices on sold pieces at Heritage. I would love to buy certain pieces, but they are so expensive..in the thousands. However, I feel spending such a significant amount will present little risk because you get to enjoy the piece and can sell it for similar, if not greater amount than what you paid. Thanks!
How do you feel about vintage musical instrument collecting? I've collected a number of vintage Gibson electric guitars from the iconic 50's and 60's instruments 15 years ago (still have them) and things have gotten so expensive. Do you think they are a long term type hold onto collectible or something that is going to see a downturn at some point?
It’s a niche market to say the least. Honestly, I’m not sure where the market is going to go for these kinds of items in the future. It is definitely an esoteric market which isn’t good for overall mass appeal, in my opinion.
In the 80’s we watched the Hunt brothers destroy the precise metals market and thus effected the coin market. Watched in the 90’s as baseball’s cards and comics Tanked because of speculators and the greed of the companies. We are seeing this again now with grading video games, comics, cards etc. this market will tank when the economy collapses again in the next two to three years. Legos, !magic cards, Pokémon are not an investment.paying for graded VHS tapes is the newest things. And from what I have seen is, it is a manipulated market. These vhs tapes are not selling for 10k. They are not it is dealers creating a market. Remember the Disney black diamond tapes? The current young generation like my grandkids. Well they just are not collecting anything. One does some Pokémon and football cards. Be he can not tell you anything about them. It’s all about smart phones and tablets. You are giving good advice. I had to learn the hard ways in the 80’s and 90’s.
@@ReservedInvestments your videos can be watched non visually and still be enjoyed. You talk with such confidence that you dont even need to edit your videos to the point you can talk for half a hour without haveing one jump cut and you already have the audio equipment. Even of you just take the audio from your videos and just upload those to any podcast platform would be great. I actually have a easier time to get people to check out a podcast then a video channel on TH-cam nowadays.
Are you a Keynesian? I enjoy this channel immensely but that editorial of the cause of the Great Depression wasn't a correct assessment, though a common one.

Ur doing it right, enjoyment should be the motivating factor of collecting!
GEM CHANNEL! presentation is very authentic. Keep it up Shaun.
Could listen to your advice all night! Always enjoy your uploads!
Thank you!
I f%cking love this channel its like discovrry channel back in 90s
Best channel ever dude. This guy is a gold mine for information and entertainment. He should set up a Patreon so we can give him money
The way you talk is so entertaining have literally listened to hours of your videos in the last few days!
Thank you!

That’s a good idea for an upcoming video! Thank you.
This is such a great channel. This guy needs a podcast. If he keeps up this content - I predict this is a 50k to 100k subscribed channel in 2 years.
Great video. Just subscribed. Would love you to do another 5 More Collecting Categories That Are Losing Steam in the future.
Cool to see you insight into the history of collectable. Not a lot of channel dedicate to talk about this. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I would add that japanese robot toys die cast or otherwise (Shogun Warriors etc) are in the midst of a slow and irreversible decline

I'm going into a withdrawal I've watched your videos over and over

It’s in the works...
What surprises me is this channel doesn't have more views.
I’m offering the steak, hype driven TH-cam wants the sizzle...😉
ha shit I knew something was off about collecting lego.......That kinda explain the haunted house lego not selling in secondary market
I believe you know exactly what you are talking about, I would consider you as an expert collector. Thank you for the advice!
Dude srsly thank you u gave a window into something I could legitimately do and be happy about and engaged I know u prov seen this a bunch of times but tyy for giving me hope widought even trying

you are very well spoken, thanks for the vid. do you have a clip about what collectible markets you think will bull in the future?

I’m not referring to comic art...cultural relevance matters in that regard.

This is very thoughtful Thanks a lot!

I bet auction professor and prime time treasure Hunter hate your advice. Hahaaa
i wish this guy did a podcast
Nowhere near having the audience to support that at present time. Maybe sometime in the future? Who knows...

cards, everything else is speculation.
