Tommy likely has the most complete collection of glass CD styles in existance. His collection contains more than a dozen one of a kind styles as well as many super-rare others. His collecting interests run way beyond insulators to include stamps, coins, early electrical equipment and even more modern technology. One would need many days to fully explore his holdings.
