Building an investment-grade collection requires far more than taste or enthusiasm—it demands the same discipline used in financial investing. Collectibles may not behave like stocks or bonds, but they are driven by the same core forces: scarcity, demand, condition, provenance, market cycles, and liquidity. Only collectors who understand these dynamics can build a collection that grows in value over decades.
