Salaams

I am interesting in purchasing collectable items brand new and from car boot sales/auction sites that are (mostly Western) culturally significant and will hope that they will increase in price and I can sell them on.

Particularly:

  1. Stamps and coins. However there is not a great deal of intrinsic value in the item itself. The value is based on the engraving/picture on the coin and stamps. Often these can be pictures of people/animals and based on TV shows such as Disney/Marvel etc. Would purchasing such items be permissible?

  2. Would the views for the above also apply to magazines/toys etc from TV shows?

  3. What about stamps/coins/toys/magazines that are of non living things but again from TV shows?

  4. I am assuming that collectables depicting other culturally significant items such as cars, inventions etc. are clearly permissible?

Many thanks
