This is really dependent on what item? I found Forbes had the largest toy soldier collection. Wendy Suen has the worldest largest snow globe collection at 1888. This is actually really interesting given what people will collect anything from records, cars, typewriters all kinds of different items. Guinness books can give you an accurate reading on anything.
