With collectibles, you run the risk of your collection falling out of favour over time. You have to know what you are collecting. Some times, collectibles do make a come back. Off course.

The thing is, you'd have to do your homework first (just like with any other investment) to determine if the collectible is likely to retain its value for a long time. Remember the Beanie Baby craze of the early '90s? People were spending hundreds of dollars on "rare" ones. Now I don't think anyone cares about them anymore, so those who amassed huge collections are basically stuck with all of those worthless stuffed animlas. I realize that vintage guitars and Beanie Babies are in completely different leagues, but you get my point!! Very cool idea!
