If you meant in your original post to elicit suggestions as to how to report the sale of specific items classified as collectibles on Schedule D:
Yes, it's appropriate to consider collectibles as capital assets and to report the sale on Schedule D. Capital assets include personal items like stocks, bonds, homes, cars, artwork, collectibles, and cryptocurrency. You need to report gains and losses from selling these assets.
If you hold assets for a year or less, they're considered short-term and usually taxed at ordinary income tax rates. If you hold them for more than a year, they're long-term and typically taxed at a lower rate.
The IRS classifies collectibles as tangible personal property—such as art, antiques, coins, stamps, wine, and gems—that appreciate over time. Sales of these items held over one year are taxed as long-term capital gains at a maximum rate of 28%, significantly higher than the standard 15%–20% rate. See IRS Topic 409 for more information.
You may need to use Form 8949 (TurboTax will enter information on that form for you based on your answers to interview questions) to detail each capital asset transaction, including company name, acquisition and sale dates, purchase price, and sales price.
See this TurboTax tips article for more information.
