Sports Memorabilia and Collectibles
This really is a long term gamble. Some investments may pay off while others just become a complete dud. Some investors may have wanted to strike it big with sporting cards from the 90s. After all, baseball cards before this could potentially turn a nice profit. However, the card companies over flooded the market with cards and now these sports cards are almost worthless. On the other hand, Star Wars action figures from the original movies (and even later productions) are worth a small fortune. Many people would probably think it is bizarre to invest in cheap plastic, but ultimately this gamble can really pay off, and collections that cost a few hundred dollars originally may pay off in hundreds of thousands of dollars. It basically all comes down to knowing what is going to be popular (or getting lucky) and hoping the manufacturer doesn’t flood the market.

Comic Books
People did not originally invest it comic books. These just started out as animated reading material. But guess what? Action Comics No. 1, which featured the debut of Superman, recently sold for $1.5 million. Now, some comics just end up like baseball cards of the 90s: overproduced, but for the most part, these can potentially turn a valuable profit, especially if a movie of a smaller character eventually comes out. Prices for, early run Iron Man comics skyrocketed after the movies came out. So, it may just depend on the success of a movie. Again, many may think this is a bizarre investment, but the person cashing in at the end of it all sure is not going to think so.
