How many bedpans is too many? 10? 50? Try 250. Eric Eakin has more bedpans (and bedpan memorabilia) than you ever imagined. Though Eakin realizes it's hard not to joke about his particular collectible niche, he still takes them quite seriously, hoping that someday his collection might be on view at a medical school or history museum.

But for now, to the amusement of friends and neighbors, the bedpans live in the Eakin family basement. Collectors Weekly had an interview with Eakin about his very unusual collection.
