You'd have to pick something that nobody else will think of, because things are only valuable if they are rare. Then you've got to predict that it will also be something that future collectors will be attracted to.
If you collect things that are already rare, they're sure to continue going up in value.

It seems to have proven over time that successful movies that have paraphernalia are well invested. For example, Pirates of the Caribbean has a water globe that is very detailed. Jack Sparrow is going to be a good investment, and watch like- Orlando Bloom's character because the recent writings say he won't return for a 4th sequel.
Hobby's that attract a swap meet is also great. Movie posters, trading cards, some are hit and miss, just invest in what you read or hear teens still talking about.
NASCAR does several Christmas ornaments that are sure to be collectors items as well as Hallmark Cards do a once a year limited edition item. Store clerks start taking orders starting in July for several because the stores are only guaranteed a limited number.

Coin collecting over time has proved to be a good investment. Not the fads that come and go, but key coins or semi key coins, are the way to go and in the highest grade you can afford. Also older coins are sought after by variety and if you study the coin series, you can usually find rare die varieties for a common one's price. The old saying is buy the book before the coins and it is sage advice.

collecting coins. collect old coins, keep them so they get older and sell them for a higher price.
