october Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 If he was cleaning out a hoarder's house, there is a change they paid him. thirdgreenham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMan Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I don't know what's real and what's not anymore. It's an odd and numbing way to go thru life. Edited February 26, 2018 by NoMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching his videos where he's at the storage unit going through boxes and at one point he said he had around $10K into it. At that point he estimated the hoard's worth at $100-150K. A very low estimate... sickening! Edited February 26, 2018 by iggy Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Amazing! Its such an amazing rush to find a collection like this. Even watching someone else find one makes me sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Man Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Pretty incredible. Sometimes people just fall -backwards into it. If he played his cards right, (and found a knowledgeable partner) he could probably quit the storage locker business for awhile, and just do auction houses, and set up at shows.

Bird Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I read this a week or two ago and was suspicious due to a comment such as "the AF15 is encased in plastic" followed quickly by "the AF15 is a 2.0 to a 3.0". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmazingComics413 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Saw this find come through my Facebook feed a couple weeks ago. I commented letting him know the JIM83 was a GRR. He commented back and told me it wasn't a reprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMan Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'd like to hoard Rene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM8 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Of all the Storage Wars personalities to find this lot and be competent with it, Rene is probably the one. Dave would do it right too but he's not a good human being so this went to the best I suppose. Barry would have been nice since he always tried so hard but always lost $. Great find though! He got all those mylars and boards right off the bat which was smart. STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I guess, I would vote for Barry. He would respect it more I think. Rene seems to be using this for PR. Glad it wasn't Dave. He is such a tool. I see him selling at all the local flea markets out here. Huge ego and has a lot of attitude (bad). An amazing find. I have a friend that knows Rene. I am going to ask him if he knows any more details on this find. By the way, I love the video of them pulling the books out of the drawers. They obviously have no idea of what they are looking at. Amazing the way the original owner stored them with no rhyme or reason. Seeing a find like this in it's "original habitat" is a rare treat. Can you only imagine what Edgar Church's "closet" looked and smelled like? STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manetteska Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Trying to piece this together; perhaps someone with better reading/hearing comprehension knows the answer. I saw the video of the hoarder's house with comics in the drawer. Is that the same collection shown in the other video laid out on tables in stacks by genre or is that a separate find? He mentions storage locker but not sure if the two are connected or just happened around the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) Sweating in the California heat, clearing out basically 99% junk lockers, or B) setting up at a various Comic-Cons, with some great books, in an air conditioned convention center, turning over nice profits....I would choose B.

batmiesta Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just happened around the same time, some real cool stuff in that hoarders house not just comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
