A House Abandoned For 18 Years, Filled 4 Foot High With Comics & Toys

Tik-Tokkers and YouTubers Devin and Chris who goes by Dark Exploration have uncovered a comics and toy treasure trove. Ish. What Devin describes as “an abandoned hoarder home, except it’s filled with unopened toys and comics from the last 50 years” someplace in America. With rooms, as he put it, buried two ft deep in comics and toys, in addition to massive cabinets with piles and luggage of comedian books piled up. Devin says that the house belonged to a comics collector who died in 2005 in the past, however the residence has remained in its present state since then.

Yes, that is Todd McFarlane Amazing Spider-Man comics being manhandled. “This is one of the best abandoned houses I’ve ever stepped inside of. I’ve walked around here for about five minutes just looking at what’s here and so far there’s about four feet of stuff on the floor. Four feet high of comics, collectibles, cartoon stuff, there’s a million things here.”

Damage Control too. “The guy who lived here, he passed away in 2005 and I know he owned a toy store and clearly by the looks of it everything he owned was piled into this house… this guy did have a mess in here but an organized mess…”

Are you feeling the ache but? “The guy who lived here, he actually was a colonel in the military at one point I do know that I know he had many kids…”

Some of the rooms are much less fascinating, those stuffed with hoarded rotting meals particularly. “I don’t know if the people who are family members are going to knock the house down, or they’re going to sell what’s inside, I don’t know.” But a few of these comics remarkably remained intact and in first rate nick.. that is when Devin is not manhandling them, in fact.

Always a sage warning to collectors… do have a plan in your comics and stuff for while you go on. And perhaps promote a couple of issues earlier than you accomplish that. And do not let it get to a state like this, it may even kill you.
