Collectibles

Men have been collecting toys since the 1960’s. Don Levine of Hasbro coined the phrase action figures in 1964 to market their G.I. Joe figure to boys who refused to play with dolls.

I talked with fellow TPE Network host, and avid toy collector, John Price to gain insight on this topic.

Whether collectibles are a slice of one’s past, a reminder of a simpler time, or an unhealthy obsession, one thing is certain, collectibles are big business.Statistics from 2020 reveal the collectibles market has eclipsed 370 billion dollars.

It’s often said that the toys that are popular today will become collectibles in twenty years.
