What don't people collect? Coins, stamps, badges, tickets, lost items, model trains, cats, shells, dried leaves, bugs … this list can go on endlessly. Some collections, however, are truly unique, and it's always obvious when the collector has poured their heart and soul into building and arranging their own.

The collections we have here may not have a place in a museum, but it's not like their owners would give them up anyway. After all, some of these items are one-of-a-kind, and others will never be produced again. One of these impressive collections has set a world record already, and it looks like others may be well on their way.
