Review of Naked Barbies and Deflated Basketballs: A look inside the world of collectors


There are 2 kinds of collectors -- those who collect for condition (mint coins, toys in the original unopened package, vinyl records that have never been played) and those who love the energy of objects that have been thoroughly used. This piece is about the latter -- people who love the texture of wear and tear. The topic of collectors is always fresh because it is about passionate and quirky people who have created interesting identities for themselves. This would be great on the air.
