Collectors MD

Strategic Partnerships

We believe the hobby gets healthier when we work collectively. That’s why we collaborate with brands, organizations, and professionals who share our commitment to supporting collectors, reducing harm, and strengthening the culture of transparency, accountability, and safety and within the hobby.

Our Strategic Partnerships help us expand access to education, clinical resources, financial tools, responsible-use messaging, and community support. Together, we’re building safer pathways for collectors, elevating standards across the industry, and creating systems that prioritize people over profit.

These partnerships allow us to reach individuals where they already are—in shops, breaks, marketplaces, data platforms, treatment programs, and digital communities—and offer them real solutions that empower healthier, more intentional collecting.
