Yes it is worth noting that they don't only try and help the collector, but also their spouse if they have one, to recognize the collector's passion and to be supportive of it. I thought that was a pretty cool aspect of the show.Nintendork666 wrote:The intention of the show is to keep each persons' collections at a healthy level where they can be displayed and not have a negative impact on the owner's overall quality of life. The show seems more focused on preventing people from crossing the line to hoarding, than ridding the individual of their collections altogether. One wife was even taken aside for being overly upset with her husband's Catwoman collection.
A lot of the spouses came out of it with a new respect for what their partner collects when a third party suddenly told them how much the stuff is worth and they learn more about its history and why it's so important to their partner.
