Wisconsin Woman Holds World Record Smurf Collection

A Ripon, WI woman is seeing blue as she has the largest collection of unique Smurf items, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Gerda Scheuers, 47, has more than 11,000 collectables that range from basic figurines and stuffed animals to more everyday things like; hair brushes, puzzles, towels, tooth brushes and more.

She started collecting Smurf items at a young age and it has grown into more of a hobby. Scheuers has no plans to sell her collection telling WTMJ in Milwaukee, “I think it’s going to fall on my kids when I pass to probably sell it off.”

She isn’t sure how much it’s worth, but continues to add to the collection.
