Car License Plates
Many middle-aged men love collecting car license plates, especially if they have family living abroad, or if they have a mission to visit different states across the country and cross them off their lists. Although these can be wonderful keepsakes, they don’t exactly translate into bankable collectibles. Full collections including plates from all States, at various times in history, may end up fetching top dollar, but as for the rest, you’re better off hanging the plates up in your man cave or garage.
Wearable Pins
While some pins are a badge of honor from an achievement or an award, others are simply there as a form of self-expression. Regardless of why a collector might have thousands of wearable pins, it’s worth clarifying that these have very little resale value in the market these days. The only exception to the rule would be classic Disney pins, which some collectors are happy to fork out thousands of dollars for, especially if they have been on the hunt for a very long time.
