In years past I went to estate auctions, storage unit liquidations etc. My best haul was buying out a dental classroom for less than $400.

Your friend was right on the money as they threw the Kassner Illusionen poster in the trash, saying it was probably a grand cause it's circa 1920's and auction bids at $800-1200. If a Nasa Engineer had it in storage, it was probably worth saving.
Literally NEVER have seen someone pull a storage unit with that much return coming back. WOW! We need a follow-up episode of the appraisal for all the items.
Charlie just needs to be careful that the card appraisal person doesn't lie as I could definitely see someone seeing some valuable cards and thinking hey, if I can get them to sell it to me for $50 then I'll make a lot of money
@@JordanPlayz158 I could totally see that happening if he was to do it in private, but if he's going to do a video on it the person doing the appraisal will shoot themselves in the foot career wise if they become known for scamming a popular youtuber.
my theory: this person was obviously involved with NASA's Space Shuttle Program, which ran from 1981 to 2011. he most likely repaired and prepared shuttle's at KSC before launch, judging by his note from Boeing and reflective vest. chances are he was layed off from NASA just around 2011, after or before the Shuttle Program came to close. he either died, or simply lost his storage unit sometime afterward. (the mars rover documents are of the Spirit rover, which was around the mid-late 2000's.)
@@Knowledgesquad1 idk if its the same guy though. And the awards don't overlap with the date on the actual certificate (2003). I also tried finding people that generally fit the story of dying sometime this year, but it doesn't seem like anyone under that name died this year, so this guy could just be in a retirement home. His stuff also makes it apparent that he was a bit of a social outcast, so who knows if he even has an obituary or anything of the sort.
Honestly, most sports cards aren't worth jack shit anymore, or at least not enough to be worth shipping to a buyer. Nobody wants to buy them anymore, and kids have no want of sports cards. I have massive stacks of my dad's old sports cards (oddly enough, from the same era as the cards in the video), and they're basically worth more to me now as insulation/sound deadening material than they would be if I sold them.

@@kasoncarter5440 Nah, a lot more than that. Lets just assume all of those cards are low tier and they are able to sell them for 0.5c - $1 a card. There were THOUSANDS of those cards. And a lot of them are worth more than $1 (considering that they are 30 years old). If that Rolex was real? That alone would be a few grand. It will probably pay off the entire unit cost. It really just depends on what is real, what has autographs, and what is rare.

@@redgrove7063 why dont the people who own the unit (not the engineer) after they no longer have access to the unit but still have stuff in it and sell the stuff in it instead of potentially losing out on thousands?
@@travisdingolaite6184 From how I understand it, if the rent on the unit is no longer being paid, the storage facility takes over ownership. While there are a few diamonds in the rough like this one, many are full of junk. They would have to clean out the unit, go through everything inside it, determine value, and then find a way to somehow sell it. Meanwhile they have already lost out on the rent, could potentially lose more the longer it stays full, and they would need to pay people to go through it for them to find valuables/trash junk. They set up auctions in order to get others to clean if for them for free and get back the lost rent. If the unit is full of junk, they could make a profit if the auction bids high. If its full of valuables, the auction still bids high normally, so they still get profit on it. It get cleaned out the same day it is sold and the storage seller doesn't have to worry about sorting/cleaning costs.
Yeah I was gonna say someone would pay good money to have that. Think of all the cool things you could convert it to, I’d build a computer in it and tell people it’s my space super computer and all I need is the rocket and I’m good to go .

If that rolex is real it's a day date on a presidential bracelet in 18kt gold. Seeing as he worked at NASA it was probably a retirement gift. It's worth anywhere between 10-20 thousand depending if you got the papers and box. The fun thing about it is the reason it's worth more now than the list price is because James Gandolfini wore the same exact model on the show The Sopranos.
@@sundaynightdrunk What you saw wasn't diamonds. That is the reflection of the cyclops eye in the light. It is used for the magnification of the date. It is a signature feature of rolexs and something that I really enjoy about my datejust.

@@basilisk1997 This one belonged to the guy who built the ACTUAL rover though lol, worth tons more just because of that, and this video authenticates it
After reading all these comments the Kassner poster is $1000, model Nascar cars are worth something, the cards are potentially worth millions, the Rolex is 20k, the Lego set is $300, coins could be worth thousands, and other things that will potentially get thrown out are super valuable.

I bought a storage unit in Florida once. When I opened it the first thing I noticed was humidity. I step inside and an alligator greeted me, I walked passed him and find about 1000 mosquitos next to a bag of what seemed to be bath salts.

This man had a full blown swamp in his storage unit, like he went to the Everglades and cut out a chunk of it like it was a carpet and through it in his storage unit. There was even a talking donkey in the swamp that asked me if I wanted to go out for parfaits. All and all a pretty solid investment

@@terraclock oh for sure, not everyone is an expert at specific things like that, but you should know right off the bat they gotta be worth something or have some sort of value or they wouldn't be in a frame in order like that. Some people frame things that aren't expensive, but with the shark teeth you should know they're worth something. When someone frames something, it's most likely valuable because they had to spend money to get it framed. There's always a market for something. So that tells you having money can alienate you from having knawlidge on certain things because you don't need to learn about it, you just buy it. I think that's what the other person was trying to say.
not to mention all of the real silver and gold jewelry. if the dude could afford all that other stuff, there's no chance the jewelry was fake, it was likely his investments before he died
This sort of video kind of makes me sad. What happened to that guy that he'd leave that unit? He had so much treasured stuff in there. So many collections.
I got a little bit melancholy thinking about the possibility that man might be dead now. All he achieved, his passions, thinking about him enjoying his cards and looking through them. Going to sleep at night thinking about his contributions to space exploration, the Valentine’s Day card. It all got a little bit sad, in a beautiful way.
It is sad. I got a collection from a guy who isn't dead, but he retired and gave me his career's worth of memorabilia.

my theory:
this person was obviously involved with NASA's Space Shuttle Program, which ran from 1981 to 2011.
he most likely repaired and prepared shuttle's at KSC before launch, judging by his note from Boeing and reflective vest. chances are he was layed off from NASA just around 2011, after or before the Shuttle Program came to close. he either died, or simply lost his storage unit sometime afterward.

@@travisdingolaite6184 From how I understand it, if the rent on the unit is no longer being paid, the storage facility takes over ownership. While there are a few diamonds in the rough like this one, many are full of junk. They would have to clean out the unit, go through everything inside it, determine value, and then find a way to somehow sell it. Meanwhile they have already lost out on the rent, could potentially lose more the longer it stays full, and they would need to pay people to go through it for them to find valuables/trash junk. They set up auctions in order to get others to clean if for them for free and get back the lost rent. If the unit is full of junk, they could make a profit if the auction bids high. If its full of valuables, the auction still bids high normally, so they still get profit on it. It get cleaned out the same day it is sold and the storage seller doesn't have to worry about sorting/cleaning costs.

I truly did not want this video to end, I wish I could’ve been there, I would go through every little detail of every item in that unit, what an incredible and fulfilling life that man seemed to have lived, even without knowing him I have a sense appreciation admiration and even love for him, even with how neatly organized everything was in the unit ,just such an impressive person
Same man
I really hope there is a part two that shows the items in detail! And I really hope he makes this a series!
@JAden SMith i mean, you can conclude lotta stuff from someone's objects, collections and stuff worth so many years of that person
So this is where Charlie's massive fortune came from.
Matt wasn't wrong, original Kassner posters are from the 1930's, they go for over $1000
i bet it got pulled
My heart dropped when he chucked it.
It was just a replica tho, probaby still worth 10 bucks in that condition
in 2016 that poster got valued somewhere around $800-1200 at Potter & Potter Auctions.
@@iNtRTomburk909 "An original version of that poster"
Penguinz0: “I got scammed for all my money”
Also him a few days later:
"That Time I Got Scammed for All My Money" is the actual title. Pretty different.
you underestimate how much these cards might be worth. i think with all the cards and if the rolex is real they can get 30-40k dollar out of this.
Bro are you kidding me? He is making BANK with that storage unit.
@@TheHipisterDeer yea exactly i mean they paid 2.4k which is a fucking joke considering it belonged to a most likely wealthy person. and what do wealthy people even store instead of throwing away? for sure no trash, it was totally clear from the beginning theyll make bank out of this
@@TheHipisterDeer i mean you can tell from the video that the rolex is real, so since its vintage and in good condition ill put it at around 10k+, could be way more but 10k at least, and i dont even wanna get started on all the collector items, if they find the right people theyll make a shitton of money, and remember they paid 2.4k
As a NASCAR diecast collector I can confirm those cars are definitely worth a lot
I WAS DYING WHEN I SAW HIM DROPPING THEM
@Banana NOT toys lol
@@cashmoney3881 He knows what he said and why lol
as an Astronaut' i can confirm theres nothing from space in here, well nothing that was recently in space as in the last 4 billion years
@@mrbrittas3254 really :0
When there’s this much collectables in the locker. You have to scrutinise every item that comes out of there. Like that Kassner poster.
Charlie 'I'm not addicted to trading cards' White acquiring this astronaut's fucking MASSIVE card collection is absolute DESTINY.
Imagine your friend asking "where did you get that Rolex"
and you reply with: "yeah, it was some nasa engineers one I found in a $2000 storage unit."
"Google says he lives in Tennessee, but fuck him, it's mine now".
I was so sad when the video ended, eagerly awaiting the next episode XD
When imposter is sus:
just get over it lol

What.?
I bought a storage unit in Florida once.
When I opened it the first thing I noticed was humidity. I step inside and an alligator greeted me, I walked passed him and find about 1000 mosquitos next to a bag of what seemed to be bath salts. All seemed normal at first so I wanted to see the rest of it. This man had a full blown swamp in his storage unit, like he went to the Everglades and cut out a chunk of it like it was a carpet and through it in his storage unit. There was even a talking donkey in the swamp that asked me if I wanted to go out for parfaits.
All and all a pretty solid investment
Charlie putting that cleaver in the trash box gave me an aneurysm. I’m pretty sure that was possibly a 7-inch Briddell cleaver which is very old, and quite valuable. Saw one on ebay for $75.
"quite valuable" "saw one on EBAY for '75 dollars"
@@1degRazz For those of us that aren't rich thats some decent money just thrown away... Just cause you wipe your ass with 100 dollar bills doesn't mean everyone does lol.
@@DA-cl4ww Ebay value of an item is always grossly inflated.
@@oyaworks nahhh, once got a 20 pc mcnugg for 2$
@@oyaworks Rarely the case, it's usually the opposite thus why a lot of resellers go to Ebay to fill their shops up. If an item is selling on Ebay for a price regularly, it's regularly worth that price. As for outside of Ebay, I've seen antique knives like that go for hundreds, it will depend on how old it is.
This doesn’t really need to be said, but we’re gonna need a part 2 of how this turns out
Or they could be normal and return it
@@maxking3148 they bought it why would they ever return it?
@@arend463 my boy Maxim has been going on a crusade commenting on everyone's comments
@@maxking3148 who would return this the dude is prob old anyways
@@maxking3148 What? The point of buying abandoned storage units is to make a profit
Charlie is acting like he's going through a dumpster, even though it looks pretty neat and orderly.
Ikr, just throw on some latex gloves and help the boys out.
Charlie is acting like he didn't get scammed.
@@lemonade3909 he didn’t get scammed, did you see the amount of cards he got? Even if each is worth like 0.5 a cent, he’s still gunna be getting like 2k from cards alone
Edit: not to mention all the other collectibles
@@lemonade3909 He found a rolex?
Yeah that was offputting and annoying like he's high and mighty and above everyone even though he doesn't act that way normally.
That guy had so much cool stuff, nice job finding that unit
That's not an empty box, inside there's an ultra-light invisible and intangible cutting-edge NASA material
Well maybe the item was oxygen, which is definitly critical for going to space
@@TheTobeyGaming Exactly, and when you get it to outer space, it's so scarce that it's value increases by millions
@@Ezio-Auditore94 and they just opened it...
There's definitely a lot of "space" in that NASA box
@@estebanacostaolivera3232 Best joke I read today
I like how they totally shrugged off the shark tooth collection at the beginning that's easily worth $500-$1000 and also rare
having money changes people
@@sevensupergirlsfan7827 bruh what they probably just have no idea a shark tooth collection is worth much
@@mckenna2067 he's saying having that much money makes you not care much about what something is worth
@@TerrorInWords yeah still, they were all over what other stuff is worth. they probably just had no idea how valuable shark teeth are. not being rich doesnt mean you automatically know the worth of shark teeth.
@@terraclock oh for sure, not everyone is an expert at specific things like that, but you should know right off the bat they gotta be worth something or have some sort of value or they wouldn't be in a frame in order like that. Some people frame things that aren't expensive, but with the shark teeth you should know they're worth something. When someone frames something, it's most likely valuable because they had to spend money to get it framed. There's always a market for something. So that tells you having money can alienate you from having knawlidge on certain things because you don't need to learn about it, you just buy it. I think that's what the other person was trying to say.
Signed baseball cards, framed comics and a ROLEX
You hit it out of the park!!
Heh... Baseball joke
@Louiebruh1 dude you literally comment this on every post just to get a reaction, you're actually pathetic 😂
@Louiebruh1 whats more cringe, this joke or actually thinking its funny for some reason
@@bigboy6704 it's a bot, theres no point replying
not to mention all of the real silver and gold jewelry. if the dude could afford all that other stuff, there's no chance the jewelry was fake, it was likely his investments before he died
This sort of video kind of makes me sad.
What happened to that guy that he'd leave that unit? He had so much treasured stuff in there. So many collections.
Died maybe or some terminal condition
I got a little bit melancholy thinking about the possibility that man might be dead now. All he achieved, his passions, thinking about him enjoying his cards and looking through them. Going to sleep at night thinking about his contributions to space exploration, the Valentine’s Day card. It all got a little bit sad, in a beautiful way.
That's life, sad in a beautiful way.
It is sad. I got a collection from a guy who isn't dead, but he retired and gave me his career's worth of memorabilia. It's mostly worthless to me or anyone who doesn't have the memories attached to it that he did. He was an engineer for Digital Equipment Corporation, the makers of mainframe computers and terminals in the 60s and 70s.
At least its all on the internet so everyone can appreciate it
