A collectable (collectible or collector's item) is any object regarded as being of value or interest to a collector.[1] Collectable items are not necessarily monetarily valuable or uncommon.[2] There are numerous types of collectables and terms to denote those types. An antique is a collectable that is old. A curio is something deemed unique, uncommon, or weird, such as a decorative item.[3] A manufactured collectable is an item made specifically for people to collect.[4]
