Pooh Fan Extends Collection to Unbelievable 23,600 Items

Thank you, Vicki Newman, Lead Digital Editor for website content on GuinnessWorldRecords.com for the amazing article regarding my new, updated collection record and book announcement.  It turned out fantastic and highlighted so many of the topics we discussed.  You certainly have a way with words!!

Deb Hoffmann is Winnie the Pooh mad!

She’s loved the fictional bear and his friends – created by writer A.A. Milne – ever since she was a little girl.

Little did she know when her father presented her with her first ever Pooh Bear at the age of two, that she’d one day have more than 23,000 items dedicated to him and the other residents of Hundred Acre Wood like Eeyore, Tigger and Piglet.

But believe it or not, it all happened by accident.

Deb, from USA, has held the record for the largest collection of Winnie the Pooh memorabilia for the last 15 years.

It was first verified in 2008 with 3,891 items and continued to grow and grow, with her checking in every year or so to update us on her numbers.
