Massive Collector Of Everything Shows Me His Stuff

[@BellTunnel]

I bet he’s tough to shop for.

[@PomazeBog1389]

*_THAT'S ONE LIBRARY I'D LOVE TO CHECK OUT._*

[@spaceghost6713]

Just left a 10k check in a frame? Must be nice

[@KMcNally117]

I wonder what's between the couch cushions?

[@tomalcolm]

He may have been holding out for a bigger payment. And he probably sold it to Jay for more than 10k.

[@lponm]

If you use mobile deposit with a picture of the check you don't have to surrender it to the bank. I would hope that's what he did. You would only know if he signed the back.

[@JostenDooley]

@@lponm I dont think they had that back when this happened.

Can you imagine taking any one of these items into Rick from pawn stars, his head would explode and then offer you 50 bucks and say that he is taking a big risk. 😁

[@jboyle453519]

lmao

[@JoeRyMi]

I’ll give you $60 for the 10000 check. “I have to frame it, it might sit for awhile.”

[@saltydawg7078]

That's the truth!

[@martianman5840]

I take all the risk

[@Indylimburg]

Best I can do is 5 bucks.

[@silvervalleystudios2486]

I'm a collector but this guy takes it to another level. Good luck to him if he has the time to sort and catalogue it all.

[@no_one_of_that_name_here]

"Y'all seem weird to me." Awesome comment, amazingly delivered, well caught on film. Great collection, great video.

[@BunnySlippers82]

Your boys are so well-behaved and adorable! Thanks for another fascinating video. 🥰

[@conmanumber1]

Im guessing the kids would bring their future kids asking the owners future kids "Now where are the historic Nintendo & x'box games?.

[@SuperCrystal114]

He’s such a well organized hoarder

[@zaynmiles007]

This is incredible! Your kids made me feel like a kid again through this and I'm very appreciative for that, thanks David!😅

[@kingtimor9395]

The passion not only in collecting....but also the passion to talk about his collection....that's the MOST important.

[@Woadyn]

This is a man cave for intellectuals.

[@landryprichard6778]

Wait...this guy has an original Codex?!?! Holy. I bought a reprint a few years ago. Such an amazing piece of imagination put onto paper. I too am a collector. My family were hoarders, but they hoarded cool stuff. Going through our old plantation home in Mississippi before selling it, we found unbelievable levels of cool stuff. Tried to keep the coolest items, but now I want ALL of it back! Must keep The Precious. Hehe. Alas, I just don't have the places to put it, so they had to go. Sad This is the library in my head. You keep great company, David. 😍

[@victornl32]

Thanks for filming and sharing with us!

[@polymloth]

His children are the luckiest people on the planet. I also think I found my life goal. I couldn’t even imagine a place this beautiful could exist before. So full of knowledge and human ingenuity.

[@saphirus1able]

Really it's like this gentleman has his own museum. He is very knowledgable on all his exhibits. Very impressive!

[@LunasviolnChannel]

This was amazing to watch. He did a great job of explaining the objects to the kids

[@WildWest144]

I have to say this is the most amazing collection Ive ever seen. This is truly next level collecting.

[@MusicalSavior23]

What a wealth of knowledge! He's no where close to overwhelmed by all the thoughts he has flying through his head lol.

[@PrimeHiFi]

So wholesome. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t a history teacher! KZbin algorithm blesses us again by recommending another great video 👍🏽

[@riverraven7]

Thanks!

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

I am so glad that you saw this one Raven. This guy is incredible and the library is something I will never forget. In our own way, each one of us has our own small library of things that matter. David Hoffman filmmaker

[@riverraven7]

@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker I keep this one🤗 it's been in my library since the first time I saw it.

[@JordanRants]

Wow that's an incredible room

[@Misstucci]

David, I’ve been watching for several months now and it seems you’ve been hitting out of the park for decades. This is authentic entertainment.

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

Thank you Julian. David Hoffman - filmmaker

[@PJ-wz1wv]

That was totally awesome, he’s such a good storyteller

[@kalayne6713]

Just updated my bucket list, how incredible to visit this treasure house.

[@James7796ify]

Guy seems humble and has the patients to explain his items to people who may not get it or appreciate collecting.

[@Jasondirt]

Loved this video as I watched it go felt like a kid. I don't know if there ever are tours for the public but he has knowledge that hopefully he wants to pass on. A KZbin channel would be perfect. Then no one could accidentally break anything

[@Anne-gn6is]

What an astounding collection! And he is such a great teacher!

[@WorldsWorstBoy]

Pretty awesome stuff. Like that the kids in this video are enthusiastic to learn.

[@DaleEarnhardt_]

What a great guy! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@carlosmatos9848]

That is one incredible collection. Thanks for sharing, Dave.

[@DarkAgeDan]

I learned so much watching this thank you.

[@bisma1352]

This is my favourite video from you sir. You're right he's an amazing story teller and the things he's collected are invaluable because they're souvenirs of time and marvels of the human mind. Also when he talked about that book i though that's something I'd buy how did more people not want it. I'm jealous of you getting to spend 4 hours there. I hope his collection and your collection are valued and taken the best care of even after you.

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

Thank you for your comment and compliment Bisma. David Hoffman-filmmaker

The difference between a hoarder and a collector? Focus and organization

Very cool Mr. Hoffman! I love your videos and way of preserving history. As I'm typing this message I hear you have a place in Maine; I'm from Fryeburg myself. Last but not least you have a beautiful family, take care and keep the content coming.

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

I don't have a place in Maine any longer, Ben. but I spent 25 years living in Rockport. Wonderful place. Wonderful people. Couldn't continue to make a living there so I had to leave. but that's another story. David Hoffman-filmmaker

[@dylanmccallister1888]

He is like doctor who or something

[@Budsport_TV]

That was such a beautiful video. Thank you

[@alienonion4636]

We collect so to hold the things in our own hands, so to examine the things closely from every angle in every value of light, to feel the weight of it, and to get a sense of every aspect of the thing and who created it, why they created it, when they created it and what everyday life was like at that time. We think about the uses of the things or no use at all. Smile. Bigger smile. Such variety in life.

[@LeeBarry]

I thought of Borges. "if I were asked to name the chief event in my life, I should say my father's library."

[@DanKirchner5150]

i grew up on the east side of cleveland, and as children a common practice was to hurl iron ore chunks at each other ,as in that area they were quite abundant and more effective than regular rocks and/or glass bottles

[@Toarcade]

What a stunning and unique collection. As you mention around 13:09, I agree collecting interesting items is more of a personality trait that develops early, often long before the disposable millions exist to afford such splendid items like in the video. Coming from another collector since below the age of 10, this was a fascinating and wonderful video to watch and truly inspiring... I too spend a good portion of my free time looking for the next interesting item for my dedicated barn- uh, room, always learning new things and meeting new people on the way. It's a great and enriching way to spend one's time.

Thank you Garrett. I am doing the best I can to use the KZbin algorithm to reach the people who I feel would find my videos and clips of interest but so far, this is the best I can do. I keep trying. David Hoffman-filmmaker

Well David I dont know anything about KZbin's Algorithm and I don't think it's your fault David but I think people don't know what to search for is the problem. But I personally do enjoy your videos alot especially this one.Keep up the great work.

[@brandonprescott5525]

I appreciate that he collects interesting things. I worked in numismatics and collectables for a couple of years, and while I love people with passion, most collections are pretty dull. If you're in the industry you rarely see eccentric collections and frequently see "standard" collections of coins, stamps, baseball cards, blablabla...

[@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker]

As you probably noticed Ed I am shooting this scene with my Gopro. Also, I don't like to zoom during handheld as-they-happen scenes like this. I prefer zooming in the editing room. As you probably know, zooming in on Gopro footage doesn't look very good - too grainy. David Hoffman - filmmaker

[@TheAverageTargaryen]

You’ve just earned a new subscriber I wasn’t expecting to watch this video the whole way through but you had good camera skills and the editing kept the video interesting all throughout
