Heh ... don't forget Beanie Babies.  I wonder how many 
of those things were bought up en masse by speculators 
hoping to get their hands on the few that would 
eventually be worth big bucks.  It was the secondary
market that turned them into a craze.

Stamp collectors also create an enormous market for
postage stamps.
