A&E’s hit reality show Storage Wars owes a significant amount of its success to the cast of characters involved. With no confirmation made yet for season 14, reality fans will have to keep up with the cast off-screen until they hopefully make it back on TV again. Darrell “The Gambler” Sheets is one of the principal members of the cast, and certainly one of the most entertaining. Here’s what he’s up to now.

Sheets had a heart attack in 2019. “Well here we go I wasn’t going to say anything, but you all have been the greatest friends and fans. I’ve been very sick for 3 months and two nights ago I had a mild heart attack, found out I have congestive heart failure and a severe issue going on with my lung,” he posted on his Instagram. “All your prayers would be deeply appreciated thank you for being there for me it’s been a great ride #storagewars # Romney has been by my side through all of this she is a good women and I love her.”

According to A&E, Sheets is famous for going for the big ticket items. “Ever the gambler, Darrell has been addicted to the “high” of storage auctions for 32 years,” the network says. “While others have turned the gambling side of storage buying into steady businesses, Darrell is always going for the ‘big hit.’ Boasting a big game, Darrell is quick to tell you about the four Picassos and the world’s most lucrative comic book collection that he has scored through storage auctions.”
No More Collecting

According to A&E, Sheets no longer collects. “The only thing I collect these days is dead presidents.” He’s now focused on his family and teaching skills he wants to pass on to his son. He frequently posts about his sales on Instagram, for example a vintage Ford. “1923 Ford T bucket, custom built , 302 V8 door knob grill , custom upholstery, custom paint, I have all the records on the car. It is a real showstopper,” he captioned a post.
