He became a collector

The man said:
"I kept buying them without knowing how many there really are, and since then I haven't stopped collecting."

Guinness recognises great-great-grandmother who is a powerlifter at 100 years
In other news, a 100-year-old woman, Edith Murway-Traina, has continued to prove that old age shouldn't be a barrier to achieving success.
The great-great-grandma was recognised by Guinness World Records as the oldest competitive female powerlifter.
Speaking with The Post, Edith said she always proves people wrong when they tell her she can't do something.
In her words:
"I’m kind of annoying. Tell me I can’t do something, and I will prove that I can. That’s more or less or my attitude.”
