Top 10 most collectable antiques

You are new to antiquing or maybe you've been into it for a while but you're wondering what are some of the most popular antiques. Well this is the list for you!

Number 1 : Antique Furniture

Any time you stumble across something antique, it’s worth looking into. The only issue is that it’s basically impossible to tell to the untrained eye. Antique furniture is highly collectible because it is both functional and the majority of the time, very well made. Even if you’re not a collector, its worth you understanding what your antique furniture is worth.

Number 2 : Vinyl Records

The rise of popularity in vinyls started when music lovers around the world decided to dust off their vinyls and play them again which made them very collectible. Keep them on hand because you never know which record may all of a sudden have a spike in value.

Number 3 : Comics

The thing with comic books is that even the tiniest defect can impact the value extremely. Storing comic books well is the most crucial aspect of preserving the collection’s value. Sure, comic books might be for reading, but try to tell that to an avid comic book collector.

Number 4 : Coins

Coming across the really expensive coins and currency out of the blue is rare. So when you find and collect those unusual and rare items, make sure you take good care of them.

Number 5 : Classic Cars

It’s not often any one person has a collection of classic cars, but many people have one classic car that is at the top of all their possessions. An excellent vintage car is well kept, well maintained, and well stored.

Number 6 : Trading Cards

Baseball cards might be the typical example of a trading card, but there are all types, for example Magic the Gathering. Like comic books, these fragile paper collectibles do best when they are kept in mint condition. Treat them how you would store a comic book, especially when you’re dealing with a particularly rare example.

Number 7: Dolls and Toys

If you’re into doll or toy collecting, chances are you own not just one or two pieces, but dozens or even hundreds. There is an ebb and flow of this collectible market, as some toys and dolls will go in and out of fashion, like beanie babies.

Number 8 : Stamps

Collecting stamps seems like an old pastime, but there are still many stamp collectors out there. In fact, there may be more stamp collectors in the world than any other collector on this list. The hobby combines a love of art with a love of history. By collecting different stamps from various places, you can learn an infinite amount about the country of origin and the social and political atmosphere at the time the stamp was created.

Number 9 : wine

As all good things do, fine wine gets better with age. Wine is often mislabeled as only a drink, but it is indeed a collectible. Some fine wine collections can be worth more than a house! Just like any other collectible, not all wine is created equal. Some wine will be worthless, and some will be worth a fortune. Only a true connoisseur will be able to appreciate the difference between the two

Number 10: fine jewelry

Fine art and jewelry are lumped together because they are both highly personal collectibles. People who collect one or the other tend to collect items they like instead of which piece is worth the most money. Sure, an art or jewelry collector will seek out rare pieces, but usually only if that item they seek is aligned with their unique aesthetic. Passing down fine art and jewelry to the next generation is a highly sentimental thing because each collection speaks to the person who collected it in a way that some of these other collectibles can’t.
