How to Start Collecting

Collecting offers a great hobby to help keep you connected with something you love. Most collectors join groups of other collectors to help provide a social element. These groups often do things together, such as attend baseball games, if they happen to collect baseball cards or conventions for comic book lovers. Every group has their thing and this helps the collectors not only learn the history behind the items, but also connect with the social aspect associated with the things they collect.

Five Great Choices for Your New Collecting Hobby

1.  Baseball Cards

As mentioned above, collecting baseball cards can help you stay connected with the sport. It can also offer a great way to pass baseball onto the younger generation (a son perhaps). If you’re interested in more than just baseball, you can also college football, basketball, hockey and even soccer cards.

2.  Coins

From old coins to new coins, you can choose a variety of different types. Some love to collect coins from all the different places they have visited, while others look for rare coins to add to their collection. Whatever you choose, collecting coins offers a great hobby for anybody looking to collect something fascinating, full of history and possibly worth a large sum of money.

3.  Legos

One of the newer collectibles growing in popularity is collecting lego sets.  Since many sets are made from movies, such as Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings, these collectibles may fit more than just one category. Collecting Legos offers a great opportunity to do something with a child, which they will also enjoy.

4.  Comic Books

Comics are another great collectible and range from very old to modern. Whether you enjoy the super hero stories or you just want to collect them because they’re rare, many find quite a bit of joy in collecting comic books. This type of collecting can also turn into collecting action figures and other items representing the characters within the comics.

5.  Rare Books

Books offer a different type of collectible often for an aspiring author or someone fascinated by stories. They come in all different types from old first editions to new best sellers. Collecting a library of books offers the opportunity to not only read each book, but also add rare and very valuable books to your collection.

Whatever you choose to start collecting, it’s best to choose something you can pass on to the next generation. Collecting not only offers a fun investment, but also offers the opportunity for parents to spend quality time with their children. Take this into consideration when choosing something you want to start collecting.
