How to Start Collecting Without Overspending

• Start with secondhand stock before chasing limited editions, many Gen Z buyers collect for the aesthetic before they even own a turntable.
• A functional entry-level turntable is enough to start; upgrade later once you know you are hooked.
• Follow stores directly for limited drops like Backspacer's OPM reissues, which rarely restock.
• Inspect secondhand records for scratches and warping before buying.
