He once hated Crocs. Now he has 2,077 pairs and hopes to set a world record

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Doogie Lish Sandtiger, 32, is known as the “Croc hunter,” but it’s not as risky as it sounds because he’s in pursuit of the trendy, rubber-like shoes.

Sandtiger owns 2,077 pairs of Crocs — though that number can increase any day — in an array of colors, styles, designs and limited edition collectibles, some from around the globe.

He estimates the collection to be worth $370,000 and it was even featured on rapper 2 Chainz’s show, “Most Expensivest Collections” as part of an episode on “Cool geeks.” Sandtiger has spent as much as $2,600 on one pair.
