[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 532871, member: 5051"] There are some parallels here, they're both pop culture icons for sure. Trouble is when Elvis died, a large part of his appeal died too, meaning only fans who can relate to that era are largely driving any market for collectibles - the true collectors pieces anyway. Star Wars is a different animal - there is now a continued force driving it's brand, new material, new fans, developing a broader appeal across many genres. I've always felt that 'historical' items such as scripts, props, cast and crew items, posters etc...will be a wise investment, if that's what you're looking for. But toys and memorablia is a bit more hit and miss. As some have already mentioned, collect because you love the items, and that is 100% true, you'll always get your moneys worth that way ;) [/QUOTE]
