A huge thank you to Sports Collectors Daily and Conor McGrath for taking the time to share the story behind Collectors MD and helping bring awareness to an important conversation emerging across both the collectibles space and the gambling recovery world.
For years, conversations around compulsive collecting, overspending, card breaking, and gambling-adjacent behaviors largely existed in the shadows. Today, more collectors, families, clinicians, and industry leaders are beginning to recognize that while the hobby creates tremendous joy for millions, there are also individuals who may struggle with the financial, emotional, and psychological challenges that can sometimes accompany it.
We're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to discuss our mission, share our story, and continue advocating for greater awareness, education, prevention, support, and public health-focused approaches to gambling-adjacent harm within modern collecting environments.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Collectors MD, attended a meeting, shared their story, signed the petition, partnered with us, or helped move this conversation forward.
Collectors MD is growing, the conversation is expanding, and we're only getting started.
