- Hey, how's it going? Good. How are you? What do we got here? Because I don't buy black bags. OK. And it looks like
you're about to do a magic trick, or something. No magic trick today. But bear with me
one second, here. This is a 1978
Triple Crown trophy. Really? Yes. You don't look like
the size of a jockey. No. I have a 1978
Triple Crown trophy. Since this is one of
the only ones available, I thought it would
be a good investment. I'm hoping to get
$500,000 for the trophy. How in the world
did you get this? I work with the
trainer, for his family. And so when the
opportunity came up, I went ahead and
made the investment. What horse was it? The horse was
named "Affirmed." I mean, at one point this was
the fastest horse in the world. Yes. So the bag says Cartier. I'm assuming they made it? Yes, they it. Doesn't surprise me. I know Tiffany's makes
the Lombardi trophy. Yes. This is huge. This is damn near the equivalent
of somebody coming in here and selling me a Stanley Cup. Pretty much. It's kind of-- Only a little more rare. Yeah. I mean, it's only
happened about, what, 13 times in history? You know, it's the
Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont? Forgive me, I don't really
follow horse racing. But I just-- I know
how big this is. I know how rare this is. And it happens to be from
a sport I really don't know that much about, so-- what are you looking
to get out of it? $500,000. And normally when someone
asks for $500,000 in here, I kind of laugh. I have no idea what it's worth. You know, this is
something you just don't really ever get an
opportunity to look at and buy. I'm actually shocked that
somebody ended up selling it. Yes. I'll tell you
what, man, I'm going to have to call a buddy of
mine in to take a look at it. Because if you brought me in
the Stanley Cup right now, I'm going to have
a lot of questions. And to me, that's
the equivalent here. I'll be right back. Let me give him a call. OK. I'm fine with an expert
coming in to look at it. I know it's real. This way they'll
authenticate it, and I'll get the price
that I'm looking for. Hey Dan. What's up, man?
- Hey, Corey. How you doing, bud? - Good to see ya.
- Hey. How you doing?
- Hi. Patrick. Dude, Triple Crown trophy. I don't even know
where to start. Unbelievable. I've actually never seen one. Wow. Yeah, this-- I mean, it's
the Triple Crown trophy. This is just incredible. I mean, it's like
having one of the balls that somebody threw
a no hitter with. Right.
Right. Yeah. Like, it's not supposed
to be in public hands. Yeah. Like, this is supposed
to be in a museum. Now, I had a huge
question, because I've made the mistake of buying
Grammys, and Oscars, and stuff before, and you're
not allowed to own them. And I ended up having
to give them back. Is this something
that you can even own? The trainer might have passed
away, which in this case, Laz Barrera passed away in 1991. Families are able
to sell trophies to help out with bills,
and stuff like that. And this is the first time
I've ever seen something like this in front of me. I mean, this is--
this is incredible. OK, so I gotta ask, man-- I mean, I don't know how
to put a value on this. You're right. It's tough to put a
value, as far as comparing this to other big trophies. In my career, none of these have
ever come out to the market, to the public. Comparing other trophies--
you know, what they go for-- this is worth-- $500,000. I mean, is there
a market for it? The horse racing collectibles
market is a small niche, and there will be someone
that will come out eventually, that's looking for something
of this high caliber. And just needs to have
something that no one else has. OK. Well, my man, I
really appreciate it. You got it. Absolutely. It was nice meeting you. Nice to meet you, too. [sigh] So you
heard what Dan said. I might be able to
get $500,000 for it. That's at an auction,
with the right buyer, and I gotta sell it to a guy who
wants a trophy he didn't win. You willing to come down from
that number a little bit, or-- I really need to
get $500,000 for it. I'm around 125. That's pretty far off. Would you go to 225? I really need to
get five for it. I think 225 is going to
be the most I can do on it. I really can't
go below 500,000. And I really can't
pay more than 225. I appreciate you
coming down, though. All right. Thank you. Unfortunately, he
didn't pony up the money that I was looking
for, so we weren't able to make a deal today. I really need to make my
money back on the investment, and I'm confident that I can
find a buyer that's going to give me more than that.
