Every time JD adds another VHS copy of Titanic to his collection, he feels like he’s the king of the world.

“You know, Titanic is best on VHS,” said JD. “'September 1, 1998, take the voyage home,' that’s what they were saying. That’s what I was playing on the VCR, I was watching this thing over and over and over again.”

The more people learn about JD’s collection, the more tapes he receives, coming in from all over the world.

“I check that P.O. Box. I mean, I got to fill the car up because there is so much Titanic, baby,” said JD. ‘’I’m trying to get to one million. We have 2,467 right now, so we are so close to that one million.”

Don’t forget, Titanic includes two VHS tapes, which means it takes up double the space in JD’s house. He said eventually, he’s going to have to rent out storage.

He even built a Titanic out of all the Titanics, one of the many fun videos you’ll find on his YouTube Channel, TitanicFan 97.

We have 2,467 right now, so we are so close to that one million.

So he's... 0.25% of the way there.

He's closer than just about everyone else and it's likely about the journey not the destination. 1 million double VHS boxes would take up a considerable amount of space.
