The collection was owned by the late Brian Maiher and is now cared for by his wife Jill. I have been privileged to visit the collection a few times and my company has also been tasked with helping to sell parts of the collection starting on July 10th.
Only a limited number of people ever saw the collection while Brian was alive and I've been trying to explain to people just how amazing it is. The episode of Pickers finally shows the world the collection. While it is sad that Brian is gone, his collection will live on through his friends, the show, and the next group of collectors that will be entrusted to protect these items.
