Author name: Sylvain Mercadier

I spent fifteen years as a product manager in pop-culture merchandise and licensed goods, first in Lyon and later in Bordeaux. There I learned how collectible items are sourced, produced and distributed, including the supply chains behind artisanal jewellery. Since 2019 I have worked in editorial publishing for specialised content, where I edit and write about video game collectibles and fan craft. I look at these objects with a buyer's eye as much as a fan's, and I try to explain what makes a piece well made.
