So she values her collection at over $10,000; this is roughly $4 per spoon, equivalent to $50+ per spoon in 2011 dollars!

From the photo, it would appear that the overwhelming majority of the collection consists of ordinary spoons which have little or no value beyond scrap metal. Unless she has a substantial number of solid gold spoons, I think she is being a little optimistic in her valuation.

Well? So? What’s the big deal? I just happen to have 2458 spoons in my collection.

Seems like the same type of lady that would have 30 or 40 cats in her house.

Oregon Woman Has Spoon Collecting Compulsion! Some of those are neat (the microscopic spoons, the massive 2-foot-long spoon), but the vast majority look extremely dull.

Spoons = 2457
Life = 0

I’m just being mean, but I had to write it.

Did she name each of them? Because if she did, that would be weird.
