Sam 's story is deeply tied to a nostalgic passion for any art that evokes sentimental value. It so happens that as a child, he began to experience a fascination that would accompany him throughout his life: Tintin and Snowy would be his traveling companions. As Sam grew up, he understood that the reporter and his pet could accompany him in the privacy of his home and, nourished by this nostalgia, he began his collection 40 years ago by finding an original Tintin album "Flight 714 to Sydney" in Persian. Since then, he has become an expert on all things Hergé, and he shares it with anyone who wants to sit down and discuss it. He has helped countless Tintinophiles acquire rare editions of Hergé's works, as well as unique memorabilia. His personal collection includes over 500 rare pieces.

Sam 's collection is also a historical preservation collection of images in all their forms. Tintin is only a small part of it, although the oldest. During his university studies, he discovered classic film productions that produced in him the same feeling that Tintin had when he was a child, a feeling that has evolved into a collection of over 5,000 rare cinematic pieces. From Casablanca to Bicycle Thieves, Sam 's keen eye has encouraged collectors to acquire historical works of cinematic art.
