The Times of India reports that, "Tom Hanks is so obsessed with his secret collection of typewriters that he doesn’t mind giving up a fortune to ship them from all corners of the world."According to the paper, the Oscar winning actor has more than 100 manual, portable typewriters from the 1930s until they stopped making them.
Apparently Hanks’ hobby has also cost him a small fortune in postage. In the article Hanks is qouted as saying, "I bought a 5 dollars typewriter from Australia that cost me 85 dollar to ship."
No word if he uses stamps to mail the packages.
