Collector and Investor Standing
Steve in helmet and armor faces a Creeper, a zombie and a skeleton in The Mine. That mob lineup gives Minecraft collectors plenty to like, and fewer stores stocked the set than most. Investor interest is broad, though frequent secondary market trades keep its standing more ordinary.
