Pawn Stars: 1936 Olympic Pin | History

RICK: What do we have there? We've got a 1936 Olympic pin from Berlin, Germany. RICK: Where in the world did you find this? Well, two three years ago, I was playing poker with this old German man. We called him Goose. I beat him out of a couple hundred dollars, and he only had 100. He drank so much that night, he wanted to give me that for the other 100. So I took it. RICK: OK, and where are you from? From Arkansas. Is that legal there? No comment? HAROLD: This pin, I think, was from the 1936 Olympics back when Hitler was in charge. It was a very controversial Olympics. I want to sell this pin today because it's finally time to collect the $100 that old Goose owes me. RICK: This is pretty cool. This was the first mega Olympics like we're used to today where it's like this grand event. I mean, Hitler wanted to show the world that he had the master race, and the greatest economy, and all this other stuff. And all he really did was show the world he was an ass [bleep]. But the people in Berlin sort of liked it because it was the first time in years where they actually had a little bit of freedom. HAROLD: OK. RICK: The 1936 Olympics happened at a really crazy time. Hitler was in power. But when the Olympic Committee granted Berlin the right to the Olympics that year, he wasn't in power. They never expected this racist a-hole to be running the Olympics. So you're in this thing $100? HAROLD: Yes, sir. And how much do you want for it? Thinking about 300. Well-- well, I mean, it's really historically significant, but every other gift shop would have these things. All right. So I'll give you $75. You can't do 200? I'll tell you what, I'll give you $100. $100. That's it, huh? $100 is it. HAROLD: All right. Let's take it. - All right. Cool. Thanks, man. Come on over here. I'll write you up. HAROLD: Yes, sir. I'm not sure what I almost spent $100 on, but one thing I know is I won't be gambling with Goose because it took me three years to get my money.
