It’s not about canceling the hobby—it’s about protecting it.

Big thanks to Dan The Card Man for continuing to speak truth and spread awareness around the predatory marketing tactics that are becoming far too common across the industry. From "Spend, Rip, Get Rewarded" promos to "bonus credit" emails meant to lure collectors back into spending, these are the same psychological hooks used in gambling—just rebranded for the hobby.

As Dan points out, the issue isn’t breaking itself—it’s the lack of controls, oversight, and responsibility from platforms that profit off compulsion. Collectors deserve transparency, guardrails, and support systems that prioritize their wellbeing over transaction volume.

This is exactly why Collectors MD exists—to bring awareness, resources, and reform to an industry that’s lost sight of sustainability.

Thank you, Dan, for using your platform to keep these conversations alive. The hobby gets healthier when we do.
