World's Largest Record Collection + Video!!!!

Forgive me for being late on this extraordinary topic but I could not resist sharing this wonderful story to you all. You know what they say "better late than never". Now here is an interesting story of a man by the name of Paul Mawhinney who currently owns the world's largest record collection containing around 2.5 million records of vinyl LP's and 45's! His first record purchase was around 60 years ago which was a Frankie Lane song. Paul's immense passion for music grew by the day and the addiction took over. At one point in his life his collection reached 60,000 records with absolutely no more room to store them. His wife got fed up with his outlandish collection and gave him an ultimatum being that he had to either A. get rid of the records or B. go open up a store. Paul chose to open up a store called Record-Rama which the name was suggested by his wife. Unfortunately in February of 2008 the store had to close its doors. Paul suffers from diabetes and is legally blind which creates an increase in bills making it extremely difficult to fund up-keeping his extensive record collection. This entire collection is estimated to be worth a whopping $50 Million and he is asking only $3 million. To the best of my knowledge he still has yet to find a home for his collection and I find that to be disturbingly depressing. Paul, if I had the proper funding I'd make your dream come true of keeping your collection alive without question. Someone please wake up and smell the chock full o'nuts.
