Collectibles have been a part of almost every culture since ancient times.
Whereas some objects have been collected for their usefulness, others have been selected for their aesthetic beauty alone.
一些物品因它们的有用性被收藏,而另一些则纯粹因为它们的美被收藏。
In theUnited States, the kinds of collectibles currently popular range from traditional objects
such as stamps, coins, rare books, and art to more recent items of interest like dolls, bottles, baseball cards, and comic books.
如邮票、硬币、珍本书籍、艺术品,到更近期一些的有趣的东西,如布娃娃、瓶子、垒球卡、连环漫画册。
Interest in collectibles has increased enormously during the past decade, in part because some collectibles have demonstrated their value as investments.
对收藏品的兴趣在过去十年中大大地增长,部分原因是一些收藏品显示出了它们的投资价值。
Especially during cycles of high inflation, investors try to purchase tangibles that will at least retain their current market values.
尤其在高通货膨胀时期,投资者尽量购买那些至少会保持他们现有市场价值的有形资产。

Not
