Collectibles Corner - Vintage Halloween Collectibles

While it may seem like it is a little early to be talking about Halloween, one of the hottest areas of the market year-round is vintage Halloween collectibles! Decorations, costumes, postcards, jack-o-lanterns, toys, games and more are in high demand from a community of passionate collectors.

Items from the early 1900's through the 1940's are the most in demand, with rarity and condition being the two major factors in value, as with most collectibles. Items from the 1950's and 1960's, the decades when Halloween started to focus more on children rather than adults, are also growing in popularity.
