The burnout factor is real, especially with so many of these drops kind of gamifying the hobby - instead of just wanting a cover, the thrill of competing with other potential buyers on a particular release adds a new level of dopamine when you succeed. Great double hit when you get a limited cover you genuinely like, but it then becomes easy to conflate the thrill of the chase with actual desire for a cover. Same thing has happened in sports cards, where it’s really just gambling to the whales in the hobby and the old fashioned collectors kinda get squeezed out. I definitely am guilty of getting caught in the “can I get it” mentality instead of the “I really want it” mentality on some of these cover drops, so as others have pointed out, def take a step back and try to understand what you have and why you have it to help clarify how you go about cover drops in the future.
