Titanic Talk | Titanic Collector & Memorabilia Broker David Condon

David Condon started collecting and selling pieces of the set from James Cameron's Titanic before the film had come out in cinemas. A lucky coincidence had him stumble upon a story about a stash of timber, decking and plasterwork that had been discarded erroneously in a Mexican field not far from the studio where Titanic was filmed. The locals had been invited to come and take what they needed. Many of the items were well made and too good to dump so they were repurposed in homes and business buildings. It was free building material.
There followed David's twenty five plus year Mexican scavenger hunt for Titanic memorabilia in the form of doors, railings, portholes and wooden paneling. Parts of a movie set that are usually taken to the dump to be trashed.
Nelson and Alexandra barely had enough time in this episode to hear all his wonderful stories of discovery. He's a Titaniac Detective in the most interesting ways.
Some of his items from the film can be viewed on his eBay shop TitanicDave4u
