Obsession drives Maryland woman’s M&M collection
Lisa Burdette of Jefferson Maryland hoards hundreds of M and M items spanning a five foot display rack to a locked room. She buys on impulse at full price and plans to expand into the garage. Psychiatrist Werner Muensterberger separates collecting from hoarding noting collectors seek selection and value while hoarders gather indiscriminately. Burdette believes her collection could be worth about sixty thousand dollars.
