World’s Largest Collection of Santa Claus Memorabilia

Canadian Jean Guy Laquerre, a 74-year-old former geography teacher, is the proud owner of the World’s Largest Collection of Santa Claus Memorabilia.

Laquerre became addicted to Santa Claus memorabilia after his aunt gifted him with a beautiful 20th century papier-mache Santa Claus figure, over two decades ago. "It awakened the child in me" he says, but his fascination for Santa soon turned into an uncontrollable obsession.

Ameros and Lunaros

Lately on the Net started appearing gossips about the new North-American currency “Amero” which would, as people say, come to replace Canadian and American dollars together with Mexican peso and would become one and only currency in North America. Some photos of actual amero bills and coins appeared on different near world-conspiracy blogs and youtube channels.

Well, in Russia they stepped bit further and think that the currency would be called not Amero but Lunaro, or Lunar if to be exact, and probably it would replace not only Northern American currencies but all currencies on Earth and even, probably, on Moon. That’s what they call the real New World Order.

And yes, there are some secret bill samples that leaked and we can publish those, like, rare shots.

Olympic Games

How do you think athletes can be considered as collectors? Bowls on the shelf, golden and bronze medals hanging on the wall … yes! Definitely - yes. So, let’s watch on TV the XXI Olympic Winter Collectors Games, which starts today - on February 12–28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia and in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond. The 2010 Winter Olympics will be the third Olympics hosted by Canada (1976 - Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta).

PS. of course, we get involved not only with the success of collectors actions and sport performances on this Games who use CollectionStudio for tracking their invaluable awards but with all other guys!…
