My AIO Collection aka the OdysseyFan Museum

Post

Wow, so for those that don't follow my Facebook page, I finally completed the process of applying to Guinness World Records for the "Largest collection of Adventures in Odyssey memorabilia". I first applied in March of 2014, so it's taken nearly 3 years of jumping through hoops and battling red tape to get here. On Monday January 23rd,2017 Nathan Hoobler & Bob Smithouser came to my home to authenticate and count my collection. Hopefully you will see that in an upcoming podcast or AIOClub Bonus section. I anticipate getting the GWR Certificate in a couple months when they process the documentation. \:D/ :clap: :yes:

The Final Official Count was 1,211 Items.

If you want to see the video I shot it's on my Facebook page.

Congrats! That's so cool! Wow! I- wow.
"Let me get this straight. I bet all those non-friends of yours try to embarrass you about your love for that stuff, right? So, you almost feel like you have to hide your treasures away and can only take them out in secret on rainy days when your mom goes to the store to get more liver and nobody is around to berate your sensitive spirit. Is that what you’re saying?" -Jay Smouse

No, but we do pray he grows up to be like Whit. It's quite a name to live up to.

Haha! yes as well as the newest Writer on the Team, Sam Suksiri.

Hopefully Focus will publish the video soon, still waiting for GWR to send me my Certificate. Trying to be patient, but it's been 12 weeks now they have had the video, and all the documents and still no word...
