A Chiver’s uncle and his amazing collection of Indiana Jones memorabilia (22 HQ Photos)

: A few days ago I received an email from a Chiver named Robert who said that his uncle had an amazing collection of Indiana Jones props and collector’s items. I won’t lie, I had my doubts, however my love for everything Indiana Jones outweighed my skepticism. Turns out Robert’s uncle Gailen is the real deal. He has collected over $22,000 worth of Indy memorabilia. Gailen has a passion for the Indiana Jones films and has been collecting Indy props since ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ came out in 1981. He also made sure the props are either of the highest quality or in some case even made by the same men and or manufacturers as the props from the original movie sets. The bull whips alone were made by the same guy who made the whips from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

What I’d give to have even a handful of this memorabilia. Thanks again to Robert and Gailen for their stellar contribution to our site this morning.

I hate to say it and it's not an insult but doesn't this guy seem a little old to be so obsessed with this particular subject? I was 11 in 81 when that movie came out and I'd kill to have this stuff because it was such a big part of my childhood but this guy is easily in his 60s which means he was in his 30s in 1981. To each his own of course but it's still a little odd to me. Meh, maybe I'm just a prick.

So, you're a 42 year old man who visits a site that routinely posts pictures of half-dressed women half your age–and probably younger once in a while–and you're going to question someone who collects movie memorabilia? Honestly?

Yeah, you're a prick.
