The Hobby You Have Now Rewards the Proactive Collector
About this episode
Brett McGrath discusses the evolution of the collecting hobby and the importance of proactive decision-making for collectors.
The hobby has changed. Prices have risen. More cards compete for your attention. Every sale becomes content. It is fair to miss what collecting used to feel like. But the hobby we have now gives collectors access to sales history, checklists, population reports, saved searches, auction archives, and people with years of knowledge. Access is no longer the edge. Judgment is. Brett explains why the modern hobby rewards proactive collectors and shares a system for making decisions with purpose. Build a collecting thesis. Assign a role to each source. Monitor the cards that matter. Record why you buy. Give yourself confidence to pass. The hobby you remember is not coming back in the same form. That does not mean your best collecting years are behind you. Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.
