In this solo episode, I slow things down and talk through my personal collection policies, or PC policies, and why I’ve chosen to put certain boundaries in place around what I collect and what I don’t.

These aren’t rules meant for anyone else. They’re filters I’ve developed over time to help me stay focused, intentional, and aligned with my own taste in a hobby where it’s very easy to drift or overspend. I share how some of these policies came to be, how they’ve evolved, and how a few of them led to outcomes I never expected.

This episode isn’t about telling anyone how to collect. It’s about understanding yourself as a collector, the tradeoffs you’re willing to make, and why having constraints can sometimes open more doors than they close. I also talk about when policies make sense, when they don’t, and why buying what simply catches your eye can still be a perfectly valid approach.

If you agree, disagree, or have your own PC policies, I’d love to hear from you.
