Hey, it’s Jeff from Family Legacy Estate Sale, back with another video to delve into the exciting world of collectibles. Today, we’re focusing on pops! Now, while I’m not a die-hard pop collector myself, I’ve got two fantastic experts with me, Trinity and Amanda, who are going to share their insights, tips, and favorite pieces from their collections.
Getting Started:
Trinity and Amanda stumbled into pop collecting quite serendipitously. It all began with a small, inexpensive Funko gift that sparked their interest. From there, they found themselves irresistibly drawn to the vast array of pops available, covering everything from TV shows to video games and even real-life personalities.
Cost and Rarity:
One of the appealing aspects of pop collecting is its accessibility. Prices typically range from $12 to $30, depending on the size and rarity of the pop. Trinity’s prized possession, a vaulted Jack and Aku two-pack, exemplifies the concept of rarity in the pop world. Vaulted pops, those no longer in production, can appreciate significantly in value over time due to their scarcity.
Market Trends:
As with any collectible, the pop market experiences fluctuations based on factors like show popularity and reboots. Trinity and Amanda have seen their collections increase in value, with some pops doubling or even tripling in price since purchase. However, it’s essential to keep an eye on trends and market demand to gauge when to buy, sell, or hold onto your pops.
Protecting Your Collection:
Preserving the condition of your pops is crucial for maintaining their value. Unfortunately, damage can occur during shipping or handling, so inspecting corners, edges, and the cardboard itself is essential. Investing in pop protectors, inexpensive plastic cases available in various sizes, can shield your pops from harm and maintain their pristine condition.
Tips for Beginners:
For newcomers to the pop scene, Trinity and Amanda offer some sage advice. Firstly, explore the vast variety of pops available until you find something that resonates with you. Whether you’re a fan of movies, video games, or memes, there’s a pop out there for everyone. Additionally, don’t overlook the simplicity and affordability of pops as collectibles. For as little as $12, you can own a piece of pop culture history.
Final Thoughts:
As we wrap up this segment, I want to extend my gratitude to Trinity and Amanda for sharing their passion and expertise with us. Collecting pops isn’t just about amassing figures; it’s about preserving memories, celebrating fandoms, and, in some cases, making savvy investments. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting, I hope this glimpse into the world of pops has sparked your curiosity and inspired you to embark on your collecting journey.
