The Houses

The Houses

Not brands — belief systems with stitching. Each archive house scored as a collector cult: how rigid the canon, how steep the entry, how rare the grails, how the community moves, how violently prices swing. Tiered on the Monster scale.

Different from your taste-cults — those name who you are; these rank the houses themselves.
