• SCRIPOPHILY
  
  Although scripophily sounds like a dread disease, it's actually the practice of collecting antique stocks, bonds, and other securities. The most valuable documents are usually the most beautiful, or those that have some historical significance because of the role the issuing company played in the economy. Sometimes those with distinctive errors are also especially valuable.
