We here at hobbyDB love just about everything when it comes to collecting.

One of our favorite facets from the world of collectibles is the community of collectors that it fosters.

A major part of that community is the hobbyDB Squad, our team of volunteers that are the lifeblood of the site. Without them, we’d be a lot further away from our goal of one billion collectibles…eventually.

Thanks to them, we’re able to add thousands of items, price points and UPC codes, plus a lot more.

As the calendar rolls over into 2023, we wanted to take a few moments to celebrate the Squad and its members that made last year such a success. We also thought we’d show off some of the eye-popping numbers from the Squad in ‘22.

We break them down into three categories: items added, price points added and items verified.

Thank you to all that have lent your precious time!

If you’re not mentioned above, that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate everything you’ve done for hobbyDB and Pop Price Guide. We can’t thank you enough and look forward to an exciting 2023.

Would you like to get in on the action? We’re always looking for new members to join the Squad. As you can see above, our team adds things such as items, price points and UPC codes, the latter which powers the hobbyDB App.

Are you an expert in your field? Bring that knowledge to the Squad as a curator. Our curators work to ensure the overall accuracy of their chosen subjects

In return, you’ll be the first to know of new features and more. You can also weigh in on issues, questions and more as part of our private Facebook communities for hobbyDB and Funko.

You’ll also earn exclusive badges for your hobbyDB / PPG Showcase!
