The Colnect community, ever growing, has now reached
131,313 Members!
To take a quick look back at the way we have come, as a community, we need to go back to
August 2009, when we celebrated our first milestone of 5,555 members. From there the community almost doubled in 8 month's time to -
11,111. The community just kept doubling its previous milestone, getting to
20,020, than going to
33,333,
40,004,
50,505,
66,666,
70,707 until reaching the beautifully round number of
100,000 almost exactly a year ago.
Important thing to note, that the rate of growth in our community in the past 2 years
has tripled (!) from the rate of growth in the preceding years.
33,333 members have joined Colnect in the past year, to form our current community of collectors from
150 countries around the world. This means that the amount of collectors joining this year is six times larger than our entire community at the first milestone!
More members, means more collectors, means more collections! In a very fitting number, over
33,333,333 inventory items have been added to Colnect since the last milestone of
110,000,000 inventory items. Inventory items are any item that a member adds to their collection, swap and wish lists.
As the community develops, so does Colnect as a collection management tool and a website to connect collectors. The past year we've seen Colnect
dawn a sleek new outfit, added with
dynamic sorting, was joined by 2 new categories,
Admission Tickets and
Holy Cards and much more.
We would like to thank the over
900 contributors that make Colnect the effective tool it is today. The contributors help make the catalogs as complete, accurate and interesting as possible, and are doing great, dedicated work, on their own time, for the benefit of all collectors.

Contributor Guide. You are also welcome to check out and join our efforts to complete the catalog with ALL images on the
Zero Missing Pictures Campaign.
We're excited about Colnect getting a larger and larger collector's community, providing more opportunities for each collector, improved tools of use, better collecting and better connecting. We wish all Colnect collectors to have a thriving and fulfilling collecting year.
