Raymond van Barneveld is known for collecting titles on the oche but at one point, it was collecting Funko Pops that was a vice for the five time World Champion with over 1,500 in his house.
Van Barneveld started collecting all kinds of things at a young age. "As a child I already enjoyed collecting lego. During my darts career I also kept just about everything, from program books to trophies and all kinds of memorabilia," 'Barney' said on the podcast Everybody Loves Darts.

That collecting frenzy did go a long way. "At one point I had about 1,500 Funko pops in the house. Everywhere I went I bought these, I even bought extra suitcases on vacation so I could take them with me."
"Those were worth a lot, but in the end I had to sell them due to lack of space in my house. Since then I have also tried to collect fewer things, because it really went too far," Van Barneveld can now laugh about it.
