AMERICAN COLLECTOR

AMERICAN COLLECTOR
US 2009
DIRECTORS: BOB RIDGLEY, TERRI KRANTZ

From rock band KISS memorabilia to antique axes, from bobble heads to giant balls of string, each collection has a story, and the fascinating tales cumulatively suggest that our proclivity to collect has as much to do with the thrill of the hunt as with the desire to keep memories close at hand.
