The "standard" is if the seller believes that calling something "collectible"
may increase the price -- sorta like a politician yelling "change! change!"
over and over, it doesn't mean good change but his listeners are not
wise enough to ask that question.

In this case "collectible" has measurable meaning because it is claimed
to be "the last" ever manufactured at the plant from stock parts.  It thus
has a unique and historic story for the owner to tell and retell.

Some people will pay extra for such a story, others merely want an
antenna that performs well, they will live so as to have their own
story to tell.  ;-)
