There are more than a couple small yet poignant comments by the collectors interviewed which speak to the question of "why collect these things?", as well as the American culture of disposability, of objects as sentimental anchors of memory, and the like.
Quirky yet fascinating slice of life piece with real people. Top notch human interest segment. Deserves to be aired.
