Watched it -pretty cool. There was a lady who collected shoe paraphenalia (sp?) and had over 1500 or 15000. The vacuum cleaner collector was a 16 yr old boy which was interesting. The 3rd collector was a lady who collected dolls. ~ Chris
The vacuum cleaner kid was the best - plus he earns money making repairs on the side. The doll lady (and her dolls) was creepy, the shoe lady was living in an alternate reality and the Dolly guys were really obsessed - they picked up and moved to be close to Dollywood? Wow! I wonder what other collections they might have on the show in the future.
Well, if my kids had a say, I'm thinking I'd be nominated. I can totally see a show dediscated to competive/obsessive collecting of vintage sewing machines. I know some of my relatives are apalled (sp?) and/or flabbergasted by my collection which I know is paltry compared with others on this site.
