Sam Hatmaker by m ss ng p eces
For this episode we traveled to the Manhattan apartment of Wonder Woman collector Sam Hatmaker. He took us on a private tour of his extensive collection that nearly takes up an entire spare room (not including his massive horde of comics and DVDs). Sam walks us through the rare and the absurd—from a box of tissues and a cookie jar to a thousand-dollar phone and posters—offering insight into his obsession with the superhero along the way.
