5. Celebrity Autograph Collection… signed with his own name!

Paul Schmelzer collects autographs, but not the usual kind: he asked famous writers, artists, politicians, and movie stars to sign his own name! The collection has over 70 autographs, including one by Noam Chomsky and another by Dan Castellaneta, Homer Simpson’s voice.

4. Penis Collection

In 1997 a man in Iceland, named Sigurdur Hjartarson, decided to open a Museum to show the world his eccentric collection: 143 penises from 41 mamals. He’s still waiting for a final donation to complete his collection, a human one.
3. World’s Biggest Pokemon Collection

A lady called Pikabellechu holds the Guinness world record for having the largest Pokemon collection in the World. She has it all, from a car to a figurine of each one of the beasts. Not surprisingly, she is also a conference regular and considered very much a Pokemon expert. “I also create my very own costumes that I wear to Pokemon events, kids’ events, conventions and other media related events,” she says. “I just don’t collect Pokemon, I pretty much live it as well.”
2. Soap Bars’ Collection

A pensioner from Birmingham, UK, collected more than 5,000 bars of soap from all over the world. Carol Vaughn, 65, has been collecting the impressive horde since 1991 and has no plans of throwing in the towel. Her collecting started as a way to pass the time while she was caring for her mother, and now has seen her build up the haul from all over the world, from as far afield as Australia.
1. Locks Of Celebrity’s Hair Collection

John Reznikoff is the owner of a large and bizarre collection: he collects hair of celebrities and historical figures. Reznikoff has the most expansive collection of famous locks in the world. His collection includes hair from Abraham Lincoln, Edgar Allan Poe, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe. Reznikoff has been able to sell tiny pieces of his collection. In 2007, a company named LifeGem created a diamond from a lock of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair that was in Reznikoff’s collection.
