Mantel is a social network for collectors, where you can share the stories behind your favorite sports cards and memorabilia, and connect with others who share your passions.
As someone who's built communities (shoutout to Reddit) and is a massive collector (sports cards, comic books, video games, toys,... lifesize statues of Iron Man…) Mantel, a social network for collectors, hits home for me. The collectibles market is a whopping $450 billion industry, yet there's never been a go-to community destination that truly brings collectors together in a fun, engaging way. Until now.
Mantel combines two of my greatest passions in business and life: community and collecting. The fulfillment and joy people experience through social engagement around heartfelt hobbies can’t be overstated. There's nothing out there like it. I find myself glued to the screen when scrolling through the feed. Shout out to the team on what they’ve built so far, and the improvements and updates they ship constantly.
There’s finally a non-toxic, purpose built place to go deeper down the rabbit hole. Check it out, and make sure to give me a follow!

Who hunted Mantel?
Mantel was hunted by Alexis Ohanian. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
