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

[@KatherineMccoy-s9e]

Dude that is the Princess Diana beanie baby! 💵💰💸

[@Jgimple]

As a sports card collector, seeing those loose packs and cards hit different

[@goblindumper69]

the transition from the fairly nice living area to the destroyed kitchen was awesome. all that art just left on the walls rotting away.

[@MJARTBYDAY]

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

[@WthaHatchet]

I thought the same thing. The tye dye ones can be very expensive too. From 65 bucks to thousands depending on certain things. 😂

[@speedskater5613]

@@WthaHatchetomg I had an extensive beanie baby collection too.. Garcia, Brittania I think, princess and others. Brings back memories ❤️

[@kellyboran7787]

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.

[@WthaHatchet]

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.

[@DarkExploration]

Like a swimming treadmill equivalent! So cool

[@WthaHatchet]

@@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!

[@anakinskywalker1705]

this house was beautiful!! All the natural lighting and sky lights and wood paneling. I wish I could win the lottery and buy and renovate some of these places

[@p.a.6034]

So crazy, that all of that stuff was left behind. Fascinating and sad at the same time.

[@eatthepin]

Sick video. That suite of armor is wild!

[@Ralphie224]

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

[@malibu-ken]

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.

[@DavidSampson-tk1oz]

Oh! Don't touch that Ouija board!

[@michaelclarke9455]

Amazing building, would love to have seen it in its heyday…

[@harrycallahan3391]

Don't mess around with the Ouija Board, whatever you do boys.. 👿🔥

[@FLrebel64]

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.

[@drsmetal2747]

You guys need to invest into getting an oxygen mask for protection for moldy areas.

[@pennyallan6267]

Love love love this house!! And everything in it, so many memories! Great explpre!

[@user-iamRobinV68]

Hey Dark Exploration where ya been!!! Missed you!! Love the explore 😊😊😊

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Nice video hate to see the collectors items ruined in the basement.

[@AR20231]

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?

[@catmommy23]

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 ❤

[@dancline2143]

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

[@TheAboriginal1]

Unlikely. With that amount of structural water damage the place needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

[@peterbicker8389]

That house looks like it was a complete loss with all the damage it sustained.

[@joeperson4792]

I remember when Jason Kidd played for CAL, the 90's. How time flies.

[@Glosoli4]

Very cool house! Wish you showed more of the house than taking so much time looking at cards and playboy magazines.

[@DarkExploration]

I showed every room in the house

[@luisfinney9234]

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

[@davestrang8585]

Rich family that owned a sports collectable shop? Really sad how much is destroyed. Good video 🎉

[@janicecopeland9083]

Bet the Spam is still eatable, lol 🤣

[@Hoss-4077]

Love your channel. Great vibes.😊

[@tigerlillybell75]

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.

[@rebeccageiger9110]

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.

[@bananapancakes581]

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💋💕🩷

[@thestars386]

*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.

[@leonardswhite]

Very cool explore..... Thanks for sharing

someone needs to save all the beanie babies and undamaged collectible stuff!!!! i love stuffed animals lol

I wonder if anyone ever see these and its there homes and they get ahold of these guys

[@mysteriousgary38]

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.

[@robsmith1674]

Pause at 5:54 and look in the box.

[@pwhite48]

I came to the comments to see if anyone else had noticed that!

[@jacklynbrown1768]

One newspaper said 2004, so it wasn't 2003 then 😅

[@NickMate]

@3:08 I am 99% sure thats a princess Diana TY bear. They are very rare and collectible, often sought after.

[@Bill-sj4fw]

Probably a remake. It would have to be the original 1997 one. Almost everyone who ends up finding one now they are usually remakes

[@Ponyup1457]

❤Thank you. Awesome video!!!❤

[@peterbicker8389]

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.

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.

I was 22 that day 0:48 🎂

[@redneckbryon]

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.

Shout out to Exorcist 3 👍

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???"

[@jeanmetzger9359]

Those Beanie Babies would be worth a fortune about now.

[@hi.panorama]

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?

[@benjaminfraeyman]

5:53 😂😂🙈

[@victormartino9191]

“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…

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.

[@KJSvitko]

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.
