One of the most common types of memorabilia for the entertainment world are collector plates. These decorative items adorn the homes of many, but they may not be aware of just how valuable these small collectibles are. While there are plenty of collector plates that have only sentimental value, you can find some that are actually worth quite a lot of money.
1. Gone With the Wind
This much loved movie produced numerous memorabilia items and collector plates are very valuable. Look for plates that were produced back when the film was released. Although you can find brand new ones today, they are not as valuable as the limited editions that were produced in 1939. The most valuable collector plates will be in perfect condition and may also contain a matching stand.
2. The Wizard of Oz Collector Plates
It is ironic that two of the most collectible types of plates are dedicated to movies that were released in the same year. The Wizard of Oz collectible plates are also incredibly valuable, especially if you can find originals that were put out right after the movie was released. These may be a bit old and the colors may have faded a bit, but many of these plates will sell for more than a few hundred dollars, if not even more, at auction.
3. Sports Heroes
Collectible plates that are dedicated to big sport’s heroes are also very popular and may hold extra value. These plates are usually released at the height of an athlete’s career or right after they accomplish something extraordinary. It is best to try to get these when they are first produced, as later issues may not be as valuable. There are thousands of different collectible plates for sports heroes and chances are you’ll be able to find the one you admire the most.
4. Disney Collector Plates
Once again, the older the collector plate, the more valuable it will be. This is certainly true of Disney plates and you can actually find many incredible deals, if you pay attention. Look for plates that were produced during the 1930’s to the 1950’s for the most valuable items. Today’s plates however may be worth something in the future, so it is best to take good care of them now.
If you are interested in getting into collector plates, there are some great resources to find them. The first place to look is at a local flea market, or even a garage sale. You’ll be surprised at just how many top dollar collector plates are actually discovered this way. Your next option is to visit an antique dealer, as they frequently carry these popular items.
You can also find great collector plates at online auction sites and the variety is usually quite large. However, you’ll need to make sure that the plate comes with a certificate of authenticity, especially since you won’t be able to examine the plate in person, before you make your purchase. This will help to ensure that you are getting an actual collector’s item.
