Lots of people have spectacular photos of their collections, but until recently, I hadn’t seen a video of a collection that I really wanted to take the time to watch. What’s changed is that people are starting to post professionally produced videos of their collections which are much more compelling than home movies.
For example, Hall of Famer and model car collector Ron Sturgeon got to show off his collection in a short news segment on Dallas/Fort Worth’s Fox affiliate.
Have you seen any other really well-made videos of collection like these? If so, can you send me the link? Do you think this will become a trend? Let me know, I’d be curious what you think.

I think it’s a great idea and wish more people can afford the expense of a professional production, but sadly most cannot.
I’d like to film my collection because it tells a great American story during one of our country’s most fascinating eras…The Race For Space.
