The artist Banksy released a number of a small sculptures representing parts of the separation wall between Israel and the Gaza strip. These original sculptures were only available and sold from his art hotel called “The Walled-off Hotel”. They have immense collector appeal, and the larger pieces are not only collectible, but quite valuable as well.

Several years ago, had a work event where I made a 17,000 piece mosaic out of Formula One driver Max Verstappen. Had no idea of what would come as a result and this piece was my first big purchase from a client.
Was made in 2016 before he was a 4x-time world champion. Sold at a Formula One race in 2019 and led to additional pieces being created. Unfortunately, COVID-19 was a thing the following year and interrupted my artwork pursuit. Artwork sold for $30K in 2019 (makes me wonder what this is worth six years later) - essentially a 1 of 1 rookie artwork signed piece.

This one is just plain cool. Not a big time artist. But this artist (Helen Martin: @elly_what_the_funk on IG) does amazing work for not much money. A cool visual. Not a high end Collectables, but, like sports cards, they don’t have to be super rare to still be fun to look at!
