Abstract

Collecting is a unique economic behavior that bridges pure consumption and investment, shaped by many psychological factors. This study examines how personality traits and motivations impact the decision to invest in collectibles, with a particular focus on Trading Card Game (TCG) collectibles. Previous research has explored how personality and motivation influence investment decisions in collectibles as a whole, and commodities such as luxury cars and watches. This study narrows the focus to the TCG community in Greater Jakarta. Data were gathered from 158 respondents, 60 of whom view trading cards as an alternative investment. Binary regression analysis was employed to test the hypothesis, examining the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The results indicate that the trait of openness negatively affects the decision to invest in trading card games, whereas collector motivation has a positive influence on this decision. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the factors driving investment in TCG collectibles and suggest that both personality traits and motivational factors play significant roles in investment behavior within this niche market.
