Yes, I believe there is.
Just because something is collectable, does not make it valuable.
Some people collect horseshoes, (believe it or not.) while some are highly sort after, they are relatively inexpensive.
The giant stone coins of the island of Yap can be very expensive (there worth is measured in the number of lives lost bringing the stone coins over to the island.) yet not many people are trying to collect them.
Bye the way, the stone coins do not leave the grotto where they stand, the islanders pass along a paper deed to the coin.
