Playbook #105: Toys & Board Games

🖼️ The Big Picture

For those of us “kids at heart” (or perhaps you have kids or grandkids who bring out your playful side)... investing or trading collectible toys or board games could be a fun and potentially profitable opportunity.

Like many other collectibles, demand for toys and board games took off during the pandemic as people were stuck at home, looking for things to do. We’ve featured similar playbooks on arcade machines, comics, sneakers, and trading cards, all of which have 1 thing in common: they’re best suited to investors with a strong passion for them.

From a collecting perspective, it’s best to buy toys and games you enjoy - and if they wind up turning a profit later… then great.

If you’re a deal-maker at heart, then you might enjoy hunting down deals, researching values, and “buying low / selling high” on eBay or other marketplaces.

From a cultural perspective, demand for tabletop games is increasing rapidly in offices, cafes, restaurants, and resorts. And with the “work from home” movement freeing up 60 million hours for American workers, people have more time to spend with their families on activities like board games.

Plus, with the massive amounts of screen time we all spend, adults are enjoying murder mystery and adventure tabletop games with friends. Parents are educating their kids through the help of board games. And cafes have been gaining popularity in the US as a nice way for humans to connect IRL (in real life).

Toys and board games are a fun hobby that the right investor could turn into a fulfilling investment or business - let’s take a look.
