Earlie Johnson and his wife returned home last week to their Muskegon, MI home to find they had been robbed.  Three flat-screen TVs as well as Johnson’s extensive collection of vintage African-American pornography were allegedly stolen from his house, reports WZZM13.

The 43-year-old says his collection is worth about $7,500.

“My collection was the best in Michigan, a guy in Connecticut told me that,” Johnson told WZZM13.  ”I had a collection that had every African-American that’s ever been in porn, from the 70′s up until now.”

Despite this setback, Johnson plans to start collecting again.

“I will be getting my porn in blu-ray,” the collector told MLive. “The haters aren’t gonna stop me from collecting again.”

Mike Kulich, owner of Monarchy Distribution, has offered to help rebuild Johnson’s collection by giving him a copy of every title they’ve produced, reports the Huffington Post.

Kulich has also offered Johnson two passes to next year’s Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.

“Our fans and customers are the people who keep us in business,” Kulich told David Moye from the Huffington Post.  ”DVD is tough nowadays because of the internet and tube sites and people like Earlie are few and far between. We felt it was our civic responsibility to offer to help him replenish his collection.”
