Samper Angel Rodriguez, a 43 year old from Alicante, has been collecting ballpoint pens for the last 16 years. He claims to have 12,550 different pens which weigh a total of 150 kilograms and would stretch over two kilometres if placed end-to-end.
Although most of the pens have been given to him by friends, people all over Spain have sent him pens for his collection.
Although there is no specialist registry, Samper Angel Rodriguez thinks that he has the largest collection of ball-point pens in Spain. However there is a German collector who claims to 280,000 pens.
Just imagine how many letters he could write with that lot.
