Hunters and collectors have swept through most societies in an effort to capture some of the most fascinating trophies or objects that are shiny enough to hang on their wall at home. Some of these objects are pretty normal, such as coins and rare baseball cards. However, sometimes people get downright bizarre when they get into the collecting mood. Some people find pieces of junk and scrap, for example. Here are 5 of the most bizarre collectibles.
