The collection belonged to Stewart Berkowitz. “My dad started this collection before the auction world for this kind of material existed,” says Berkowitz’s son, Jordan Meddy. “He was especially into The Honeymooners and Batman.”
“He was very detail-oriented, and he wanted it to be the most complete, authentic collection possible. He put everything he had into it.”
