I don't think any hobby is immune to this; it mostly matters
on how many collectors are out there, and how much money they
have to spend. Toy collecting didn't used to be such a
big deal. Now you have 'investment grade' toys. Stamp
collecting was a 'no big deal' hobby a century ago; now
it's almost universally also considered an investment as
well.
Stamp collecting imploded and kids don't collect anymore, the only stuff
worth anything is the ultra rare items the old collectors lusted after.
