Really appreciate everyone helping bring attention to this conversation. Huge thank you to The Athletic and The New York Times for covering a topic that impacts way more people in the hobby than most realize.

Also very grateful to Gamban for the shoutout in the article and for recognizing the work we’re doing at Collectors MD around compulsive spending, breaking culture, and gambling-adjacent behaviors in modern collecting spaces.

This is about creating more awareness, more honesty, more education, and more support for people trying to build a healthier and more intentional relationship with collecting.
