Can you see Jean-Guy in the picture? Bet you did not notice him. That’s because he is in the middle of his enormous 25,189-piece Santa Claus collection (and counting) This made him the world record holder collector and earned him a spot in the 2011 Guinness Book of World Records.

A retired geography teacher of Boucherville in Quebec, Canada, Jean-Guy started his Saint Nick collection in 1988 when he inherited a 1910 papier-mache Santa from his wife’s aunt. Since then his Santa collection increased in numbers and assortment, from figurines, cards, postcards, pins, brooches, toys, posters and many more. He admits he is a collector at heart having been started as a stamp collector at age 14.
