Author Name: Kellie

Toy collecting has been a hobby of numerous people around the world. It may have come from their youthful spirit, passion and love for toys that still attract them to the toy world. For them, they are never too old for toys. If you are planning on venturing the antique toy collecting hobby like these people, then you must learn how to identify vintage toys. You cannot just purchase any old or phased-out toy you see in every store! Although there may be no fixed rules and regulations on collecting, but there are unsaid standards for vintage antique toys to be considered valuable.

It is important that you get to know antique toys well if you want to take toy collecting seriously. With that knowledge, it will help you and your bank account acquire good deals, avoid regrets upon purchase, and slowly create an immense collection. The following are a few hints on how to identify the value antique toys.

Phased-out.
This is the first criterion. However, keep in mind that not all phased-out toys are valuable. At times, a toy company stopped manufacturing it because it doesn't sell. An antique toy only has value when it is not produced anymore but a lot of people still want it.

Demands are high.
Another criterion is that people want it or still remember the said toy. An example includes Barbie dolls that are manufactured in commemoration of an event, such as Independence Day or limited edition Barbie dolls.

Another reason why demands are high could be that the toy went under controversy that the manufacturer had no choice but to stop production. As a collector, it is your job to be one step ahead of other collectors. Research and get to know the toys, down to the manufacturers, competitors, or those companies that already closed down. With this, you will be truly familiar with what toys are in, and what toys are out.

Rarity.
The rarity of the toy adds up to the demand of toy collectors everywhere. Like in the example given, whenever the toy production stops soon after the release but the people still want it, the demands will increase. In this scenario, only a few toys have been released to the market, thus making the toy rare and more valuable.

It has aged.
You can never call a toy antique if it hasn't aged. Even if it has gone through the years, antique toys are more valuable if the good condition is preserved. Thus, as much as possible, there are no scratches or damages seen. Despite the irony, the toy should be as good as new.

Keep in mind that collecting vintage toys doesn't happen overnight. It takes time, and a lot of hard work and perseverance to see your collection grow. Keep in mind these few basic tips of supply and demand, read, research and study about the field of vintage toys and you will be on your way to creating your toy collection palace.
