My advice, if you want to profit buy what's hot in high quantity, store them MIB, and in 20 years sell them back to fan boys for profit. But avoid things like pogs, Pokemon cards, and Bernie babies. Go with characters that have staying power, in 15 years your Justin biber doll will be worthless, and irrelevant, your spider man figure will still be in comics in some form, and he'll probably be on his 9th movie reboot. Common figures that were available at brick and mortar stores, at limited quantities tend to have a higher value increase than exclusives. Example: vision MU. Your not going to find many people with a deep childhood bond to a hot toys figure. But look at the marvel secret wars figures, they were built to be played with, everyone had them and beat the hell out of them. There not fancy, just 5 pop junk. But I've payed 30$ for a loose cap because I had one when I was a kid. Pay attention to the markets, if you have any Bill Cosby collectibles I bet you wish you dumped them a year ago. But if your going to collect, collect for the fun of it. Don't try to overlap collecting and profit, if you make it a business it just makes it stressful when it should be fun. If you become a completion collector it's more addictive than crack.
