Exploring an Abandoned 1990s Mansion filled with Retro Sports Cards and Collectibles !

- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Join me today as we go inside a vacant mansion left behind due to a hurricane, everything inside this mansion is as if time froze in 2003. The past owners were either huge sports fanatics, or they sold sports memorabilia for a living, because inside the home is thousands of cards and collectibles left behind. The obvious evidence of water damage is prevalent throughout the home, from a damaged roof to everything caked in mold, there was no saving this house, hence why everything was left behind.
As we explore the home, we will learn about the past residents and what it was like to be owners of this still beautiful modern mansion. If you enjoy, leave a thumbs up and consider subscribing for more historical and exploring content !
I also must mention, because of the value of what's remaining inside the home, information like when the house was built and exterior pictures won't be shared to prevent theft of what's remaining.

As a sports card collector, seeing those loose packs and cards hit different
Hey Devin and Chris, Oh wow I have the same beanie bear the purple one. Its suppose to be the Princess Diane bear and rarer too. One of their children could have been a newspaper boy and that's why there are lots of papers and Pokémon cards plus baseball cards. What a shame I bet it was beautiful back in the day. Dam weather can be treacherous and has damaged quite a lot of properties in the US as tornados are evil. Thank you for sharing this home with us Devin you are such a sweet polite and respectful young man xx
I thought the same thing. The tye dye ones can be very expensive too. From 65 bucks to thousands depending on certain things. 😂
Big Mouth Billy Bass singing fish for the win lol.
So crazy, that all of that stuff was left behind. Fascinating and sad at the same time.
the transition from the fairly nice living area to the destroyed kitchen was awesome. all that art just left on the walls rotting away.
For many years I have watched your channel, I was an early subscriber and I found something I thought might interest you. If you watch Forensic Files Season 18 Episode 12, you will see a good explanation of why many of the houses you show us it seems that the owners just got up and left everything behind. Don't breath deeply in those houses and don't stay in them too long.
It would be awesome to see some of these homes in their original majestic condition. I understand why it can’t be but it’s great how respectful you guys are. Thanks for sharing.
The shape of the pool/spa, reminded me very much of the hull of a boat. Most of the things dont seem to have any mold on them, so if it was weather related, you would think that they would have taken what they could. And with the power on and the ladder against the wall, makes me wonder if someone may be starting to do some kind of work on it
Unlikely. With that amount of structural water damage the place needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
That house looks like it was a complete loss with all the damage it sustained.
Don't mess around with the Ouija Board, whatever you do boys.. 👿🔥
This is gonna be great
I'm still collecting tabloids and magazines and memorabilia from the 70-90s, and I'm ordering more Monday night after dinner ❤
That pool is made for swimming laps. It pumps water quickly at the swimmer to allow you to continuously swim in place without having a larger pool. Pretty neat, and uncommon back then.
Like a swimming treadmill equivalent! So cool
@@DarkExploration exactly very similar! Yea I bet that was a cool pad back in 90s early 2000s. Great find man! The Natural beauty though sad it's come to that is remarkably beautiful!
very nice old wind up record player ....my folks had one like that ,it came with some thick old records..circa early 1900's...i would wind it up play them...one was "Lord God protect the Tsar"...strange collection....great explore
You guys need to invest into getting an oxygen mask for protection for moldy areas.
Thank you. Great explore! I know you have had people suggest this to you before, but why don't all of you American explorers contact each other and start a nonprofit organization that could be specifically for salvaging collectables and "valuables" from properties like these where the estates have abandoned them? You would need a lawyer to get the okay to come in and haul off these items which it is a shame to just let rot. Then the organization could sell them, not for profit, and use the money to pay the lawyer, pay the office staff, pay for the trucks and warehouses and then the rest of the money obtained from the sale of these items could go to creating housing for the homeless in the US. The organization would operate a lot like American Pickers, an organization with fleet of trucks that pay estates for their valuables, rather than having estate sales. Just an idea.
Pretty sure that's illegal. If they got caught taking stuff they might be charged. Itnis sad though, stuff that is just going to waste when people could use it and in the end it will end up in a landfill or polluting a waterway.
Sick video. That suite of armor is wild!
Love love love this house!! And everything in it, so many memories! Great explpre!
Very cool house! Wish you showed more of the house than taking so much time looking at cards and playboy magazines.
I showed every room in the house
Love your channel. Great vibes.😊
You found an Ouiji Board, the owners must have been playing with it and brought demonic haughting so bad they had to flee the mansion abandon everything.
I remember when Jason Kidd played for CAL, the 90's. How time flies.
Nice video hate to see the collectors items ruined in the basement.
Sure was beautiful back in the day! Cool video! ❤️🤘👍
Pause at 5:54 and look in the box.
I came to the comments to see if anyone else had noticed that!
This needs more up votes 😂
HAHAHAHA, I didn't notice that!
I didn’t notice anything ? What is it ?
Ah, a nature documentary! Mating habits of higher organisms.
I’ve been waiting for this one not gonna lie I watch Chris’s video on this along time ago 😀 I was waiting for you to post this as well 🌸
Love yah💋💕🩷
What is Chris' channel called?
Bet the Spam is still eatable, lol 🤣
Dude your content is unreal! I’m in the uk but would love some tips on how you come across so many amazing places maybe the US is just superior I don’t know but I’d love to get into finding these amazing places
Hey Dark Exploration where ya been!!! Missed you!! Love the explore 😊😊😊
NGL, it gave me anxiety to watch y’all walk through that basement. 😂 I was worried about y’all’s health afterwards.
Very cool explore..... Thanks for sharing
Tony Soprano would love that talking fish
I love your channel. I have a son your age.
Rich family that owned a sports collectable shop? Really sad how much is destroyed. Good video 🎉
I wonder if anyone ever see these and its there homes and they get ahold of these guys
Gooooooooood! i love it!
❤Thank you. Awesome video!!!❤
@3:08 I am 99% sure thats a princess Diana TY bear. They are very rare and collectible, often sought after.
Probably a remake. It would have to be the original 1997 one. Almost everyone who ends up finding one now they are usually remakes
One newspaper said 2004, so it wasn't 2003 then 😅
If that purple beanie baby is a real original I believe its a 1997 Princess Diane beanie baby and can go for upwards of 10k
That’s exactly what I was saying. I was checking the comments to see if anybody else was saying that like that’s not a cheap beanie baby like that would be in my pocket right now if I seen it.
Haha same!!
@@PaigeEischen Totally. Let's be honest - you either take it, someone else does, or it just rots there and eventually gets demolished with the home.
I was thinking the same thing. Wow
Same if thats a real beanie baby it's worth alot
Love it! The empty houses always gives me the creeps..just like why/how did they leave? But I enjoy seeing a time capsule of sort but still sad at the same time
And how do you find these places?
26:43 nice VHS collection 😏😏😏
Thanks for awesome video I enjoyed watching
That looks like a exercise pool. I have been in one before. There is a strong jet at the front which you swim against whilst people chill in the hot tub and watch your efforts.
Oh! Don't touch that Ouija board!
That hurricane made a mess of that place big time wow.
Nature is unforgiving
I would’ve brought a lot of that stuff home and made easy money 😂😂
Wow what a shame.
Super educational.
hopefully Edward's algorithm suggests this video.
*1990?* What a great year. My childhood. I remember Pokemon, Digimon and *edit: I just remembered:Yu-Gi-Oh.* Great house. That record player should have been taken out plus anything that has value. Those beanie babies, I remember them too. I think it's wasteful to leave stuff in an abandoned house that has value. Yeah let's just let it rot.
i like this video alot you should see if power works in your videos...
I LOVE your hat ❤
Really been enjoying your videos today thank you been cheering me up
I'm glad I could help :)
@@DarkExploration🙂Thanks and be safe
Don't touch that Ouija board!!!!!
the cards are common years and in todays market they have very modest value. They are not rare by any means
Hope for the backrooms thing since the location has been found
Nice place.
Great Video Man! Hello From Northern Ohio!
It's weird that the owners didn't come back to collect all their stuff. Or maybe I'm just sentimental about things 😅
That princess Diana memorial beanie bear is potentially worth tens of thousands 😮😮😮😮😮😮
It is extremely surprising to see the power was still on in that house with the amount of structural and water damage it has. Makes you wonder who is paying the electric bill.
Awesome video
Shout out to Exorcist 3 👍
In places like here, the question of the fate of the inhabitants intrigues even more. By the way, is it really so unprofitable to repair a house at an early enough stage that magnificent houses such as this are abandoned, with their nota bene remarkable contents, as unnecessary small rubbish?
Thank you for your video
7:26 looks like someone or something in the background looking in from the outside
Yeah, looks like Chris? 😎
I saw that too.
If the Power is still on, it’s technically not abandoned, that’s my opinion.
Since someone is paying the bills.
25:30, it’s unfortunate, they didn’t try to save more from the house.
As a 90’s kid, are we going to not talk about the princess Diana beaning baby? That was supposed to be a down payment for us millennials
I'm not a 90's kid but I did collect beanie babies and the first thing that came to my mind was "is there a princess diana in there???"
2:45 there was probably a real tree in the ground at one point.
I enjoy your videos. I have been watching them for awhile now. I am wondering why the kitchen smell so bad still. What was in the refrigerator? 🤔
Didn't want to find out. Smelled so bad when it was closed
Damm no Pog collection
The Ouija board explains everything.👻
♥️♥️👍🏻
I was 22 that day 0:48 🎂
I hope you rescued those cards if they were of value
the remington tv that yall saw did not look that old
5:53 😂😂🙈
“Master” and “First Mate” implies that potentially, the former owner either was a collector of, or, was a Merchant Marine. Master = Captain. “First Mate aka Chief Mate” implies a second in command. Taking a guess here - could the former owner be a father, and his son could have occupied the residence since some Merchant Marine dads refer to their sons as their “First Mate.” Makes you wonder…
❤
Those Beanie Babies would be worth a fortune about now.
Looks like it was potentially set up or was in the process of being set up for an estate sale.
Ed Edd & Eddie
Love ya content bro, heads up.. might wanna block out 5:54
Thank you 🙏
Great, now it's censored.. what was it?
Guys, gloves masks and maybe hazmat suits required here !!!!
I'm going to say that a 7 Eleven franchisee or a convenience store owner lived there and that after the storm the house was totaled and they just cut their losses and started anew. Why would they have so much merch in the house is puzzling to me, but eh.
😊😊👍👍👍👍👋
5:54 Regular movies were not all they had to watch.
Yeah 😂
Just wonder how many of those vhs tapes were actually porn?!?!
I am not saying that you should or shouldn’t, but why wouldn’t you take some of the stuff that has some value? I understand that it doesn’t belong to you but it is just decaying. Why not try and save some of it?
AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO WHERE TO PUT THE HOMELESS 😢😢😢
Man, wish there was more focus on the Pokémon and nerdy stuff. DBZ had their most famous card game from 2000-2004 were there any? Was there any Power Rangers or Superheroes toys? Each time you guys see collectibles it’s always “whoa this black guy plays with balls” or “OMG military things go pewpew.” Like, that’s cool and all but is there any actually nerdy stuff? Got any 2000’s Yugioh, Yu Yu Hakusho, or Inuyasha cards? Any video games or toys? Lots of Beanje Babies right on. Any Tamogatchis? Furbies? Action figures? Any Nintendo, Sega, or PlayStation games? Lots of VHS tapes any CDs, Cassettes, DVDs, or Vinyl Records? There’s a Quija Board, a couple Alien references, did ya anything else kinda spooky or seem strange? Any comics or manga since they had Pokémon cards? Gameboys or Pokémon video games? Basement can’t be walked through for long due to being damp or whatever but we can look over boxes of commons of sports cards. Could’ve zoomed in on that Base Set Blastoise pack, was it opened? Even in damaged condition that’s THE item to be geeked over in the house but nahhhh. Generic sports cards that aren’t a hard find let’s focus on that instead of the Base Set or eReader packs.
You should carry a mask.
😂😂😂 calm down. Stop telling people what to do.
He does
She probably means a respirator
Thats actualy good advice! but some people are too stupid to even give a f***( dont mean you guys @darkexplorationfilms!)
Would be better to wear it 🤣
Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes were filling the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.
Somethings are not adding up. The condition of those Beanie Babies would NOT be new-looking. Water pouring through that room for approx 20 years, and like "magic' the beanie babies look brand new? Come on, guys! Many inconsistencies.
The plastic box had a lid on it and no light to get to them.
Exactly. Some people lack common sense.@@petertwining5729
Anyone else spot something very YT unfriendly at 5:53? 😂
Fixed it 🙃🤣
Is it just me or?
You should have taken the cards and try to sell them - probably you would be a millionaire by now 😊
So,why not gather all,that stuff up and take it home?
Morals. It’s not what you do when someone’s watching. It’s what you do when no one is looking.
Because its not yours.
Your intro showed everything. Now we don't have to watch the video. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Here you go en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine-Free_Pepsi
How about, do you remember Crystal Pepsi? They actually came back out for a brief moment a few years ago and I tried it but it's caffeine free.
