Old or rare does not make something valuable or collectable. I’m old and a one of a kind, but that doesn’t make me valuable. I ain’t worth much at all anymore.
What makes something collectable and other things not? Age doesn’t much factor into it all the time, sometimes it does. See: Baseball cards, comic books, Beanie Babies or Barbie Dolls, and Lego kits. And the collectable needs to rare enough to not be seen every day, but have just enough of them around that collectors can have a reasonable hope of getting them.
So who knows, people collect the dumbest shit. From pretty rocks to 1930s kitchen gadgets and Barbies. Maybe someday people will be collecting to soda lids and straws.
