Toy collecting has always been a labor of love for me, and with the pandemic in full swing, it provided a welcome escape from the craziness of the real world. Still, collecting wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows during these crazy times, and some of my fellow industry professionals agreed. We discussed collecting, retail sales, the secondary toy market, and much more during the Nerd News Today Toy Fair 2021 panel alongside Loryn Stone from Toy-Wizards, Michael Crawford from MWCToys, toy historian Jonathan Alexandratos, Justin and Penelope Daniels from Farpoint Toys & Collectibles, and Julie Kerwin from IAmElemental Toys.
If you’re a collector like me, this a conversation you’ll definitely want to check out. Huge thanks to Matt from Nerd News Today for inviting us to be part of the panel.
