One of the largest Indiana Jones memorabilia collections in the world is in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I'm talking about thousands upon thousands of items.

But get this…

I’m sure there are some people that will roll their eyes at this or take shots at someone who has THIS much memorabilia for anything, but let me say this as clearly as I can: This collection is AWESOME. If you hate on this then you’re just jealous that you don’t love something as much as this guy loves collecting Indiana Jones merch.
I wish I had a passion for anything the way that Michael T. Miller has a passion for collecting Indiana Jones items. I used to collect baseball cards as a kid, but that passed by the time I was 14. I was sort of obsessed with those Starting Lineup* athlete action figures from back in the day, but just like baseball cards, that fell off of my radar pretty quickly. I suppose my passion would be betting on sports, but they don’t do news features on a room full of losing parlay bet-slips. And if they do it’s on a show called ‘Intervention.’
Anyway, I’m born and raised in Sheboygan and I had never heard of this until it popped up on my Twitter news feed a few days ago. Props to this guy for finding his passion-hobby and steering directly into it.
* One of the sickest collector’s item presents I got for Christmas in 1993:
It would probably be worth decent money if I would have left it in it’s packaging unopened, but of course I cracked it open like a clam 2 minutes after unwrapping it.
PS: Michael T. Miller seems to be pretty stalwart that he’s not a fan of Indiana Jones but an admirer. I’m not sure what the difference really is but he seems to understand it so I guess that’s all that matters.
Double PS: Indiana Jones is a Mount Rushmore movie franchise, right? My personal Mount Rushmore would be Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones and American Pie.
