One of the odder collections I’ve heard about is the world record Pizza Box Collection held by Scott Wiener of Scott’s Pizza Tours. His collection included boxes from all over the world.
Last month, CNN reported on a very odd yet interesting collection related to travel. Continue reading Do Not Disturb- One Man’s Odd Travel Collection
