Collector Tips
- Limited exclusives beat wide releases. If it sold out opening weekend, it tends to climb.
- Mint condition is king. Scratches and use marks can cut value in half.
- Franchise crossover wins. Disney + film, Marvel + popcorn, horror + merch all hold better.
- Viral moments spike fast. TikTok discovery can change the market overnight.
- Check recent sold comps before paying any "rare" premium. Don't trust stock photos.
