A higher allocation to rare stamps than the US stock market? I like the diversification, but I struggle with the allocations. I don't know much about the rare stamp market and maybe it's collapse is much less likely than a collapse and non-recovery of the US markets. Wish I had more to add.

Rare stamps aren't collectibles?

Anyways, I'd diversify collectibles into at least 2.5% beanie babies, 2.5% pogs.
