Rising Collectible Markets to Watch in 2025

The world of collectibles is evolving faster than ever — and 2025 is shaping up to be a thrilling year for collectors and investors alike. From retro video games to luxury sneakersrare books, and even vintage tech, the definition of "valuable" is expanding in exciting ways.

At MPC (My Premium Collection), we’ve been keeping our eyes on the pulse of the collectible universe — and we’re here to break down the top rising markets that could define your next great investment or passion project.

 

🎮 1. Retro Video Games: Pixels Turning to Gold

Nostalgia is big business. Classic consoles like the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and PlayStation 1 are back in demand — not just as memories, but as valuable assets.

According to Heritage Auctions, sealed editions of original games such as Super Mario 64The Legend of Zelda, and Castlevania are fetching six-figure sums. One copy of Super Mario Bros. recently sold for a staggering $2 million!

 

Expect increased attention on:

  • Factory-sealed games
     
  • First-print runs
     
  • Obscure titles with limited release
     

Platforms like Yahoo Finance highlight video games as an emerging alternative asset class, especially among millennial collectors who are combining passion with investment.

 

👟 2. Luxury Sneakers: Streetwear Meets Strategy

What started on the streets has hit the investment charts. Limited-edition sneaker releases from brands like NikeAdidas, and New Balance are consistently selling out in minutes and reselling for up to 10x their original price.

 

Key trends driving this market:

  • Celebrity collaborations (e.g., Travis Scott x Nike, Pharrell x Adidas)
     
  • Scarcity and timed drops
     
  • Authentication tech (NFTs and blockchain-backed pairs)
     

Collectors now view sneakers as wearable assets, combining fashion and function with future returns. Sites like StockX and GOAT have made tracking, authenticating, and trading sneakers easier than ever.

 

📚 3. Rare Books: Wisdom, Words, and Worth

The market for rare books is gaining momentum among literary aficionados and investors alike. First editions, signed copies, and banned books are growing in value, especially those with historical or cultural significance.

Recent auction highlights include:

  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone first edition selling for $471,000
     
  • Original manuscripts of Hemingway and Fitzgerald drawing six-figure bids
     

Digital fatigue may be part of the appeal — collectors are returning to physical, tangible, historical items that can be proudly displayed or carefully preserved.

Platforms like Biblio provide insight into what’s rising and why.

 

💾 4. Vintage Tech: Silicon Nostalgia

Think old tech is junk? Think again. From early Apple products to vintage WalkmansGame Boys, and even first-gen iPods, tech from the past is experiencing a value renaissance.

 

Collectors are drawn to:

  • Cultural relevance
     
  • Iconic design
     
  • Working condition rarity
     

Auction houses and collectors alike are seeing growing interest in mint condition tech that reminds us of pivotal digital milestones. For example, an unopened first-generation iPhone recently sold for over $60,000.

As more tech becomes obsolete, preserved versions will become modern-day artifacts.
