Collectibles are an excellent way to invest in the market these days, which is not affected by the change in stocks. If you are a collector of fine things, know that your time will come and that famous baseball hat, coin, or even wine will increase in value over time and give you great returns. While many people do not like to part ways with their collectibles, it is nice to know their value.

Sports memorabilia
From cards to balls to sneakers to signed autographs and so much more, sports memorabilia can be a valuable collectible in your closet. However, the thing to be careful of when collecting this kind of memorabilia is to have the authenticity documents. Thankfully since we now live in the age of smartphones, it’s easy to take a quick picture of your idol autographing a jersey, ball, or even sneakers. So, make sure you take note of the moment and are proactive. Otherwise, a platform called Collectable allows you to buy a share of some of the most valuable sports memorabilia in the market.

Classic cars
Any car which is 20-30 years old is categorized as a classic car. And investing in classic, vintage, or even antique cars can get you significant returns in years. Usually, all cars lose over 50 percent of their value over time, but there are always exceptions to this rule, and classic cars are those exceptions. If you’re wondering how to find such an investment, some factors to consider are age, condition, rarity, popularity, and brand. These factors will help you find your collectible car. Even if the car is old, the condition of the car should be aesthetic, which helps increase its value. If the mileage is low, then that’s a plus too. Rare manufacturers like Bugatti Royal make for a great collectible example. According to some experts, the Luxury Investment Index has noticed a 330 percent appreciation in classic cars in the last ten years.

Fine art
It is no secret that art appreciates over time. But how do you know which art to invest in? Here’s where you need to do your research. Consider all the contemporary styles that have evolved in recent years and speak to some experts. Like an investment portfolio, you can even have an art portfolio. One of the good things about investing in fine art is that it is not affected by the stock market, so your investment remains safe. One of the things to also be careful about is constantly diversifying the kind of art you are purchasing. Here are some interesting facts that may encourage you to invest in this art form:

• Forbes estimated Jay Z’s art collection at $70 million. 
• In 2017, Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting, Savator Mundi, was sold for $450,312,500, a record-breaking number.

Coins
This is probably one of the most accessible and wildly popular collectible items. Also because it’s possible that coil collectibles are passed down from generation to generation and you can keep adding to this collection, making it more invaluable. Interestingly, coins from a particular historical era, marking specific events or thrones, are crucial and valuable.
