Antiques have to be of a certain age (depending on what kind of antique you're talking about -- for instance, I think it's 70 years for furniture). Collectibles can be any piece of junk that someone collects, like ceramic gerbils or Beanie-friggin'-Babies or Pokemon cards.

An antique has to be 100 years old. Collectibles can be any age and may be worth nothing or very little right now but may be of value in the future

A collectible or different merchandise that's previous (many times a minimum of a hundred years previous) and is gathered or suitable because of the fact of its rarity, difficulty, utility, or different unique valuable factors. Antiques are additionally products that have because of the fact been replaced with a thoroughly new layout in function and visual charm. classic is the 365 days some thing grew to become into made or offered. whilst somebody says it a classic piece it means its not new. those 2 words are continually misused to peek interest in previous stuff.

I think the difference is collectable means, it could realise value in years to come. Where antique means it is obviously old now, and is valuable

Collectables are prime objects of public popularity such as a fad of the day, Wonderbread right now would be subject, they started selling sandwhich boxes with the pattern on it because they are going out of buisness-- and you collect them in hopes of them becoming "antique collectables".Antiques are objects over oops---100 years old.

an antique is usually classed as a piece of 100 years or over.
Collectibles are collected for beauty, made in an earlier period, and are generally items brought together to form one group.
