4. Cast Iron Toys

\n\n\n\n

Dating from the late 1800s, these durable toys are a great investment. Their original packaging can ensure an annual appreciation of 15%, which adds up to a coin bank or tiny car valued at several hundred dollars. Miniature planes, circus trains, and fire trucks all have great potential.

\n\n\n\n

5. Collectible Comics

\n\n\n\n

First editions can sell for as much as $10,000, and the debut of new characters drives up the value of any series. These colorful collectibles represent a smart investment, but their paper construction makes them fragile even in protective sleeves. Your special comics are best kept in the security of climate controlled storage units.
