The hobby

Ray B. Ashford

Ray covers the hobby itself: the sets, the rarities collectors chase across Pokémon, One Piece and sports, how to buy sealed product without getting burned, and the words you'll hear on every stream. Ray collects sports memorabilia, including basketball cards.

Covers: set rarities and what collectors chase, buying sealed packs safely, hobby slang. Our writers are members of the Pullfox team and write under pen names. How we write our guides.
