What do you collect? If you grew up in the 60s and 70s, you are either into Star Wars, Marvel, or DC. Either way, you know you were hooked on reliving the adventure and thrill of your heroes.

What you collect is part of a million-no, trillion-dollar industry that grabs your attraction.

Here begins the search on how we get caught up in a never-ending spending cycle as each decade unfolds and generation gets sucked into being duped and persuaded.
