You're probably right, he's going to have to refund the money and pay for the wall. Hope the cell phone was worth it.

The story behind the cards was interesting but everything was low grade from the collection. One of the coolest facts from the story is that one of the companies that produced the cards, the Decalco Litho Co., was right next door in Hoboken in the early 1920's! I currently live in Hoboken which makes this collection even more fun for us. We are going to donate a few of the cards produced by the Decalco Litho Co. to the Hoboken Historical Museum (which is right across the street from me!).

I was thinking the same thing about this being an apartment, but then again that might mean something different on the East Coast or in certain cases. Here in the West, you'd typically rent an apartment and thus wouldn't own anything you within the structure you didn't bring with you when you moved in.

Same on the east coast! If his landlord is reading that article, I imagine he would have quite a bit of explaining to do.

I don't understand all the talk about renting. One of the articles says hes the homeowner. I would assume that they ether misspoke when it said apartment or he is the owner. It said he was doing work so I assume he is the owner.

It's a little conflicting. When they say 'his home', it could just mean the place where he lives. You can call an apartment your home without literally meaning you own the home. The article first mentioned in the original post says his apartment - those are the key words to me.

He either rents the apartment or perhaps he lives in an apartment in a building he owns/rents. It's pretty clear that there is an apartment involved in some fashion.

Personally, I'd guess that he owns the building. I can't imagine that going public with this, a sale going through, etc. without someone mentioning that to him.
