collector value
Worth to enthusiasts
Collector value is the worth an item has to collectors, often exceeding its practical utility or original price.
A baseball card with no inherent use might have significant collector value due to rarity, condition, or historical importance: The comic's collector value has tripled since the movie came out.
Items may be bought, sold, or insured based on collector value rather than replacement cost.
