    WOW! I saw some cars in there that I have never seen before. I could spend an entire weekend in there. Really cool collection.

    That's awesome. They should never part it out, keep it as a whole and make a museum out of it.

    LostHope , I just right clicked on the links and they worked just fine for me !
    I also agree about a museum ! I wish I had the $$$$ to buy everything and let people see what this mans life meant to him !
    You have to understand what you are looking at . You aren't just looking at some crazy hoarder that saved any and everything he could get his hands on . You are looking through the eyes of the man that collected all these items ! They are all neatly displayed if you take a good look at it . Nothing is just thrown into a pile like a hoarder would do . This is what his lifetime represented to him and he just saved certain things that reminded him of something that maybe happened in his life , maybe a place he went to or who knows what . Maybe he wanted people to see what the day in time was like and what people used at that time . But the thing is , you are looking at this mans life all tucked away neatly in that huge building . It's all arranged in a certain way for anyone to walk by and see it displayed for all to see what his life meant to him . I can bet you if "Lee" was still alive he could tell you what everything meant to him and why he had that car , truck , motorcycle or trinket that you are looking at .
    It's what that mans life represented to him ! That's what you really need to understand about that collection . I can bet you when that auction is done , there will be millions of dollars spend to just buy a small piece of a man's life that they never knew . I would love to see the final price of what everything brings . I am sure there are some rare items in there as well too . It will be in Chicago real soon .

    Retro Jim I wasn't disrespecting the guy! I understand the love that goes into his p***ion! The silence in the video just gives a true vision of what the he had, no words can describe it. I can understand that when something is typed that sometimes things can be taken out of text. thats a real problem with society today. Thats why I hate texting. My comment should be taken lightly. Like I said no disrespect.
