A few examples.
Reeses Bar
World Series Bar
Cancelled Eiffel Tower Bar
Cancelled Leaning Tower of Pisa Bar
The Flasher
Felecias Navidades Bar
and I must admit that in some cases, I am the cause of it.
Proves , to me anyway, that collectable items are still the way to go over plain generic, ASE, 90%, etc. bullion.
Now I know someone will say there are limited people you can sell these to when that time would come. My response would be, you're wrong...look at how many bids and bidders where on these auctions...and secondly, if you know those supposed "limited" collectors, you have no problem moving what you may want to for handsome values, and lastly...ultimately as long as there's a place like eBay, these kind of items will go for what they should go for.

That's crazy!
Not really, here's why. If you're a true collector and know that when you have a chance to own 1/10 of something ever made, you pay up and don't think twice about it.
Last year, I was very fortunate to purchase (followed my hunch) on the lowest dip of the year, a good bit of 'generic' silver from Apmex.
I requested the largest assortment of small bars available, and BOY was I rewarded, maybe for being a loyal customer.
I started looking some up on e-bay, auction prices paid, I was amazed that I could easily make an 8-10 fold profit.
Problem is I never sell or flip anything, MAY start bartering for trades though.

Just hope there are not 9 collectors.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
Then, they advertise that their brand is the most sought after and command the highest prices.
Self fulfilling business practice I guess.

I can certainly understand that!

New stampede headed towards APMEX!
If you read the product reviews you will see that some buyers were not so fortunate.
A 100 ounce order and receiving the same generic rounds and such.
I did specify the largest and most varied assortment possible when I ordered mine last year.
'Limited to stock on hand.........'
That's where I got the 1975 (?) ANA convention bar with the Pine Tree Shilling foil on it.
A few members here actually attended that event!
