Colnect Blog is Back – Celebrating 21 Million Collectibles

Colnect blog relaunch 2025 with 21 million collectibles

The Colnect Blog is back! After several years of silence, we’re relaunching this space—not just for announcements, but for stories, insights, and inspiration for collectors worldwide.

Back in April 2019, we paused the blog and moved updates to the announcements forum. The forum has since become the heartbeat of Colnect, connecting collectors with quick updates and lively discussions. But collecting is more than news—it’s about milestones, knowledge, and passion. That’s why we’re bringing the blog back, starting with an exciting new achievement.
