As a collector that was a hard watch seeing you walking over everything š«£š©

Somebody needs to buy the salvage rights on that place. Those items need saving.

Hi Devin, coming from someone who had to move out of a repossessed house and lost a ton of their childhood books and toys, I really appreciate how you take time to respect and admire the house and its belongings. If someone took a video like this of my childhood home I would be overjoyed to see it!
-
Anybody else get a little stressed at how they were just moving the comics around, dropping the boxes, and stepping on things? Devaluing items as we watched.
-
These videos are equally fascinating as they are sad. It reminds me how short our time is. This owner must've really loved his toy store. Update: After reading the comments here I went back and watched the video again. It's definitely staged, not one lick of dust. None on anything in that house. I'm very surprised upon staging they didn't factor that into account.
-
The contents of this house needs to be saved!!! Collectors watching this are jumping out of their skin right now!!! I canāt believe how dry the interior of the house appears to be for being abandoned so long!
-
Anyone else die a little as he thumbed the stacks of comic books like playing cards, creasing the spines lol
-
The owner closed his toy and comic book store and used his house to store everything. They currently use that house for storage. Surprised the owners kids didnt catch you guys in the house but they dont come by there very often. The kids saved their dads collection after he passed. I live about 3 miles from the house and heard they locked the house down to prevent people from going back in it.

I just wanna go there and organize and curate everything. This whole house is a museum
-
Iām dying to know where the family is. At one time this was a happy place. Breaks my heart.
-
This is the coolest abandoned house I have ever seen, ever! An absolute gold mine. Amazing!

What is really frightening is just how easy a collection can get out of hand, my father sold off his main business in the early 80s and all his remaining equipment was put in the first floor apartment where it sits to this day. Family can't agree on what to get rid of or who gets which items. (All kinds of Coney island items ) top it off with my comic collection (approx85,000), a ton of Mopar parts for numerous car restorations and everything else that we all collected overtime... Now my own grown kids don't want to set foot inside that house, neither apartment collects rent, bills have to be paid and siblings just keep storing there own collections in different parts of the house. Just goes to show how even the best intentions could go south. Even selling on Feebay for over 20 years now barely made a dent in my own collection. To properly sort and liquidate that house in the video Will be a major undertaking.

Not only was this man, a toy collector, he evidently was also a devout Catholic. I can tell he was a good man with a very eclectic taste in collectables. All of these items can be sold in an estate sale and funds to go to his estate to got to his heirs, family or even charity. Hoarding is a sign of nostalgia and deep emotional attachment to fond memories.
-
Some of those toys were produced within the last five to ten years. If the owner passed away in 2005 as you say, someone else has been adding to the collection since then. Cool video.
-
I feel as tho the little voice in my head is being encouraged! I know its not a good idea to explore abandoned homes without permission but itās sooo tempting!!!
-
A group of collectors should buy those stuffs it's kinda sad to see those toys and comics slowly getting ruined in that abandoned house
-
Love the respect you had by not giving any location information. I'm 53 and some of those toys and comics... damn they took me back! This was an awesome explore. Thank you!
-
I showed my husband your explore as Iāve been a huge fan of you and urbex and chill for many years! The next day your NY POST article came across his news feed!! Congrats thatās very cool. šš you guys are the best!! I truly hope the integrity is preserved and the family can someday do what they need to do with the contents in a stress free way so that they might recoup some $$ while respectful collectors enjoy these items safely.

Wow, the most amazing abandoned hoarder collection of all time

I just want to say buddy if your going to go in a person's house and dig like that please just dont step on it and grab it like a toddler there could be one book under your foot worth 180,000 bucks no way of knowing whats in their and what you and him damaged just by going through the pile of books like you did. Enough with hating on you for the lack luster of care but still love watching the walk through one of the things I live doing is walking in a abandoned house before its been ram sacked
