We've all watched Storage Hunters and wanted to be the one who picks up an absolute treasure trove of a find. More specifically, I've always wanted to be the one to open up a storage container and find more nerdy items than I could lay my grubby hands on. That's exactly what YouTuber Wades Vanture has found after he paid $2,000 for a storage container that he claims, after valuation, is worth $50,000!

The 10ft x 20ft was crammed full of cardboard boxes, all in turn filled to the brim with retro consoles, games, nostalgic toys, and Pokémon cards, many of which were in a binder and in brilliant condition.

As you can see from the featured image of this article, Wade found masses of Game Boys, Nintendo DS handhelds, N64 games, old Sony consoles, and much more besides. It's like they've taken one of everything we've ever covered here at Retro Dodo and put it in a time capsule-esque storage container!

There were around 1,000 Pokémon Cards hidden away in the container, too, many of which were rare finds from the Gen 1 cards in the 90s. Check out the full video below to see everything he found!
