You're the best person who could've been given all of this. I'm glad that you have it and I'm sure that he would be too

Totally. I’m going to sort through it all and find the appropriate institutions to pay his estate for it. I already have 2 lined up who are interested. I just need to figure out what’s all in here.

I still haven't told my mother about my grandfather's stash. He passed 2 years ago. Haven't finished the last two closets but already found three stashes. She will legit throw them out the window 🤭

Happy to chat about his stash! Are you in NYC? I see BX in your bio

scorpionmish.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep (BX all day🤭). I know most are probably bootleg (the man was cheap) but there are VHS old school stuff. Going to put them all in one bin. Had to maneuver some stuff to keep it out of view.

Glad to see this stuff going to someone who will care for it and not landfill.

I don’t think many are aware outside of the UK, but there is a fetish archive where donations are always being sought. https://www.instagram.com/ukfetisharchive?igsh=MTBjcWQwZWZsbGdwMw==

Yes!

I need to make a second trip, (and get a storage unit,) to store everything and sort through it.

You need to hire an archivist who can rip those VHS and digitize them. The quality will inevitably deteriorate over time if you don't. Some might be unrecoverable already.

RIP Big John. I’m going to take good care of your collection. Scouts promise.

We barely scratched the surface of Big John’s collection today. As a performer, director, & producer, he left behind thousands of images, magazines, signed memorabilia, DVDs, VHS tapes, albums, CDs, and personal letters.

Omg… I have to be back to the @unfpa.bsky.social symposium at 9 am.

What I really want to do it look though these these slides…

Big John left behind a color correct lamp & a slide viewer.

His sister was like, “please take it Sinnamon.” 🥹

sinnamonlove.bsky.social•2 days ago

I took a little time to go through the slides. There are images he shot in Cairo, Greece, & Rio Carnival circa 1969-1971 during his time as a flight attendant.

What a time capsule. 💝

Shoot, vintage porn is expensive. I bought DVDs of Trapped (Vivid, 1997)and Party Favors (1998, Vivid) for about $250. There must be a goldmine there. I checked Ben Dover's English Muffins (in one of your pics), and it's used DVD is $197 on Adult DVD Marketplace.

Yeah, I mentioned to the collector’s sister that a lot of this stuff is worth a lot of money!
