Largest Pokemon Collection

This is 26-year-old Lisa Courtney. She has collected over 16,000 pieces of Pokemon merchandise, the world’s largest collection. She spends 7 hours a week surfing the internet for more trading cards, plushies, clothes, etc. It all started at the age of 9 after she saw a picture of Pikachu in one of Nintendo’s magazines. It’s taken her 17 years to obtain everything and she was awarded the world record for the largest collection of memorabilia in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2009 with 12,113 items. She’s collected so much that her own mother had to move to one of the smaller rooms in their house.

“I will always collect Pokemon,” she said. “I will never stop, there’s always something new to get.”
