We’ve reached a pivotal fork in the road in the hobby.

One path is community, passion, nostalgia, and genuine connection.

The other is unchecked gambling-like mechanics, influencers pushing high-risk products, and constant pressure to chase.

Manufacturers, platforms, and breakers are always marketing something—not just to adults, but to vulnerable and impressionable kids.

This culture has become dangerously normalized, and that’s why we built Collectors MD—a support-first space for anyone who’s felt the mental, emotional, or financial toll of the hobby.

Huge thanks to Alijah (@hoosier_pulls) for opening up his platform for this critical conversation.
