Collectibles aren't just artifacts; they're tangible pieces of history, nostalgia, and culture. An intriguing aspect is the "sleeper effect"—items once common and unremarkable can unexpectedly become coveted collectibles due to generational shifts, pop culture resurgence, or historic events. For example, vintage lunchboxes once used by schoolchildren now fetch hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars. Everyone's mundane item might just be the next sleeper hit in the collectibles world.
