some of them vendors post these new strops or rasors in collectables
we probably have different meaning of collectible items

They all used to be made of leather and the synthetic substance, but now they are appearing as leather and canvas combos. They aren't stocked by just one seller - they must be wholesale items available to businesses, so who knows their real worth - a few pounds/dollars?
