You can choose collectibles related to your interests and prices range from the most expensive to the very inexpensive and so, for instance, nearly everyone can start a collection of soft drink memorabilia because the prices are very low. Trading in collectibles for someone grows from a hobby to a profit-making business.
Collectors of soft drink memorabilia range from those who focus on the collectibles of only one brand, such as Coca-Cola, to others who collect anything related to the soft drink industry including unique pieces like complete soda counters out of old drugstores or barn doors on which soft drink ads were painted. Certain items which were originally sold as collectibles were produced in vast quantities which make them worth less than a dollar. An extremely rare soda industry item may cost well into the tens of thousands of dollars.
If you are interested in this hobby you can begin by reading about the history of a product by visiting the brand website, such as Pepsi com or any other brand currently available. Brands that no longer exist still have fans and the internet can help you find that weird banana soda they only sold for two years in an obscure county in Montana, if it exists. There is considerable networking among those who love soft drink collectibles.
Many people love to collect soft drink machines, although these can be among the most expensive and awkward of the items connected to soda pop. Like soda counters and old taps, these can be very bulky and expensive to ship, adding to the cost, and not everyone has room for a huge machine. There are some prized smaller models that hold smaller numbers of bottles for those with more desire than space. The most desirable machines will still work, if mechanical.
A popular type of collectible is the soft drink signs. These signs come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. They were also made in different types of materials. Some were even made of wood. Value is highly influenced by the overall condition of the sign. Rust can bring down the value significantly on a metal sign. Rarity is the other driving force in value. Some signs will have other additions to them like lighting or even a clock.
If you are looking for inexpensive collectibles you might consider collecting cans and bottles. When you first start collecting, you’ll find more recent cans and bottles at very reasonable prices. Really old bottles issued in the very beginning of the soda industry are especially prized and have become quite valuable. Collectors enjoy having all the cans or bottles of a particular brand so that they can display them sequentially showing how the shapes, colors, and designs have changed throughout the years. Some collectors prefer bottles with the soda still inside.
Many companies put out special containers for holidays, the Olympics or specialized one for local events and notable achievements, and these make a great way to start collecting. You can also find brand themed glassware, china, trays, clocks, pens, clothing and stuffed animals. Online auction sites are great places to find or sell soft drink related merchandise, new and old.
