You’re Already Entered. Now let’s Talk About What You Can Win.

Thousands of dollars in slabs and gear, given away every single month, to members only.

From the very beginning, The Hobbi has been about creating a better kind of collecting experience — one rooted in community, clarity, and a shared respect for the hobby.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Zion Cases and a growing circle of best-in-class brands who believe collectors deserve better gear, better spaces, and better conversations.

They’re not just supporting the vision, they’re putting real value and products directly into the hands of our members.

Two Ways to Win Every Month

1. The Monthly Slab Drawing

One member wins a graded slab. Every single month. No entry required.

If your membership is active, you’re in. That includes everyone still inside their free trial. You don’t have to sign up, comment, post, or do anything at all. Your name is in the hat the moment you walk through the door.

Winners are drawn at random at the end of each month.

Past drawings have included a LeBron rookie, Ohtani, Jordan, rare Pokémon, and more. Every month is a new card, and every active member has a shot at winning.

2. The Mega Giveaway: 10 Winners, Every Month

This is the big one.

Every month, the ten members with the most engagement points win. Not one winner. Not three. Ten.

This is the giveaway for collectors who actually show up. The ones who post their pickups, answer a question from someone newer than them, and make this place worth logging into. The strongest hobby communities have never been built by spectators. They’re built by people who participate, and that’s exactly what we reward.

The Mega Giveaway prize board:

How to Earn Points

Points are simple, and you’re probably already earning them without thinking about it.

Set up your profile. One time, 15 points.

Two minutes of work and you’re on the board before you’ve said a word. It’s the biggest single jump available to you, and it means people know who they’re talking to, which is the whole point of this place.

Then show up. Every time, every month.

One rule worth knowing: comments have to be at least 25 characters to count. That applies both ways, so a two-word reply won’t earn you a point and it won’t earn one for the member who posted either.

That’s not us being difficult. It’s how we keep the leaderboard honest and keep the feed full of actual conversation instead of a wall of “nice pickup.”

The fastest way to climb: post your collection. Real cards, real stories, real questions. You don’t score for the post itself, but every single comment it pulls in is a point for you. Put up something people want to talk about and one post can outrun a whole evening of scrolling.

The leaderboard is live inside the community, so you can see exactly where you stand at any point in the month.

Why We Do This

We aren’t trying to be the loudest voice in the room.

We’re building a place for collectors who love the hobby and want to enjoy it without all the noise. The giveaways are our way of putting something real behind that, month after month, for the people who make it happen.

If you’ve been lurking, this is your sign. Post a card. Say something worth saying. See where you land.

This is only the start.
