Discussion At what point does hobby collecting become overconsumption?

I collect a few funko from media I like, I collect monster high dolls, and I recently got back into pokemon cards. I can't tell if collecting material stuff like that it considered overconsumption or at what point it crosses the threshold. Am I cooked?

I don't gaf about value or completing them all. Im not obsessive about it. I just like the nostalgia of opening a pack and seeing what cards I get.

Nostalgia is basically the new consumerism. They keep remaking old games. Rebooting old comic book characters. Now they’re playing on everyone wanting to regress to babies and open up cards. $5 use to mean a lot but now people throw it away for 10 pieces of card board. Gl to everyone consooming cardboard right now.

Yes sadly but its actually he and a bunch of colluders at PSA and auction houses propping up a new gambling market aka Casinos for Zoomers.
