When I say collectibles, downloadable pictures definitely do not count, nor would fansigns or dvd, vhs videos or otherwise. Collectibles, at least in the market that I know, would be things in which they make collectible 'Storage Products'. ONE of the main reasons that baseball cards (and nonsport cards and adult cards for that matter) are so popular as a collectible (and comics too) is because there is a MASSIVE industry behind them that product collectible storage products specifically for these type of items. You would be amazed at the array of types of things that are manufactured to store trading card size items (exactly 2.5" x 3.5") in, as well as photographs too. There are archival storage pages made for everysize paper/cardboard collectible you can imagine, from postage stamp size to 8.5x11 letter paper size and probably 25 different sizes in between. There are also even large storage items for larger things like large prints and posters. But my original point is, why is this industry not 'Printing Money' to fill all these things?
