With over 30,000 (correct #) puzzles, meet Jerry Slocum
The link above will state his collection as numbering at 40,000, while another web source has stated 20,000, and a third source at 28,000 - a writeup with Jerry and Martha Stewart (pic no longer available on that site) . After a personal e-mail to Jerry, I was able to receive the actual amount from the man himself, the correct number of puzzles being 30,000, as stated above .
