From antique microscopes to plastic View-Masters, from Edison phonographs to juke boxes, autographed baseballs, fishing lures, and Pez dispensers, a wide variety of items fall under the umbrella of collectibles. Though collectibles are distinct in terms of their respective categories, most are coveted for the same fundamental reasons. Whether mundane or esoteric, collectibles represent the culture, history, and mass production of the past and present, and are appreciated for their nostalgia and aesthetics.
