You directly implied holding onto something for its potential investment valuation at a later date. It’s almost certain that a mutual fund investment will be worth more in 10 years, whereas a specialty console is a gamble whether it’ll increase in value and how much, and whether it needs to b mint condition.

Therefore if the goal is future value, as you implied with the Majora’s mask example and setting sentimental value to the side, investing in a mutual fund is the more logical choice. Not apples and oranges when broken down to merely “which option is likely to be worth more.”
