"My dad started this collection before the auction world for this kind of material existed, says Dr. Berkowitzs son, Jordan Meddy. He was an early adopter of eBay, and at first he collected what he came across, and was especially into The Honeymooners and Batman. His collection expanded, and then contracted as he became more serious about it, and decided to focus it on the 1950s, 60s and 70s. He was very detail-oriented, and he wanted it to be the most complete, authentic collection possible. He put everything he had into it.
As one of the most comprehensive and passionately assembled collections of vintage television memorabilia ever brought to market, this auction represents a lifetime of love for these shows, says Joe Maddalena, Executive Vice President at Heritage Auctions. It speaks not only to Dr. Berkowitzs discerning eye and deep knowledge of television history, but also to the love, nostalgia and humor he brought to everything he did. Collectors will recognize the care that went into every acquisition, and the cultural significance of whats now coming to auction for the very first time.
