• Art
• Precious metals and gems
• Collectibles, such as:
  • Postage stamps (see stamp collecting, philatelic investment)
  • Coins (see coin collecting)
  • Autographs and historic documents
  • Memorabilia, such as political, military, and sports memorabilia
  • Trading cards
  • Jewelry and timepieces
  • Fine wines
  • Antique or classic cars
  • Rare books
  • Comic books
