Or maybe you\u2019ve started a new collection and need to make room for this latest investment.<\/p>\n<p>Just like real estate, collectibles go through their own up and down cycle of value. There may be some collectibles that you should probably hold onto just because their values have gone down. Then there are collector\u2019s items that are considered \u201chot\u201d right now with market demand causing their value to rise.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering selling some of your collectibles, here are a few that may get you a pretty penny:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sports Memorabilia<\/strong> &#8211; Although it is a volatile market, one thing hasn\u2019t changed: People are passionate about sports and athletes. And if you can get your hands on a historic item, your profits have immediately skyrocketed. Just recently the &#8220;Laws of Base Ball\u201d sold for more than $3.2 million. The documents, which were written back in 1857 and outlined the rules for the sport, were handwritten by Daniel Lucius &#8220;Doc&#8221; Adams, president of the New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vinyl Records<\/strong> &#8211; Vinyl sales have been increasing over the past 10 years, and according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2016\/01\/08\/vinyl-sales-surged-30-percent-in-2015-led-by-adele-and-taylor-swift\/#4b536b4930f1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this Forbes article<\/a>, in 2015 sales surged 30 percent. In Nielsen\u2019s 2015 U.S. Year-End Report, these were the top 10 best-selling vinyl albums in 2015:<\/p>\n<p>1. Adele \u2013 25 (116,000)<br \/>\n2. Taylor Swift \u2013 1989 (74,000)<br \/>\n3. Pink Floyd \u2013 Dark Side Of The Moon (50,000)<br \/>\n4. The Beatles \u2013 Abbey Road (49,800)<br \/>\n5. Miles Davis \u2013 Kind Of Blue (49,000)<br \/>\n6. Arctic Monkeys \u2013 AM (48,000)<br \/>\n7. Sufjan Stevens \u2013 Carrie &amp; Lowell (44,900)<br \/>\n8. Alabama Shakes \u2013 Sound &amp; Color (44,600)<br \/>\n9.
