Pawn Stars: Sky High Appraisals WAY Over Asking *MEGA PROFITS MEGA-MARATHON!*

what is this well I'm not 100 sure but it looks like it could be like a really old and hopefully really expensive coin it's a George the third and resolution and adventure sailed from England 1772. this is interesting resolution and Adventure were Captain Cook's chips okay you know who he was was he the pirate from Peter Pan or something wrong dude okay I was cleaning out my grandma's house and found it in one of the boxes I had no idea that she was into like collecting things like that who knows where she got it I have no idea I don't really have any use for the coin or I figured maybe a couple bucks would be great Captain Cook worked his way in the annals of History to be one of the greatest ship captains ever this is the guy who discovered Hawaii wow islands all over the Pacific he mapped them all out he invented some really amazing mathematics that helped him navigate where they were going Captain Cook was an amazing guy Captain Cook was a naturally brilliant Navigator the maps he made of Newfoundland in the 1750s were so good they were still using them in the 20th century this has some relations to his world famous voyages there's some value here and it looks like maybe it attached to a ribbon maybe it belonged to an officer for being on that Journey cool okay I I'm definitely intrigued but I don't know if this was made in 1772 or if they sell these in the gift shop in England right next to all the old ships okay there's some odd things here I mean it's one of the most detailed medals I've ever seen from that time period well and that's why I'm thinking it's a lot newer than that but there's that little chance it's something okay how much you want for it um I'd be thrilled with 50 or 100 bucks can you wait around so I can get someone to look at it I'm really really interested okay I definitely have the time so thanks I'm going to call the rain man of coins okay I still get him down here in 15 20 minutes all right awesome thank you very much I started to see dollar signs when he was like really excited about it pointing out all these awesome cool things about it yeah I think the expert will let us know exactly what it is what it's worth I'm excited to hear what they have to say it's a very interesting item this is a resolution and Adventure medal this this journey lasted three years from 1772 to 1775. he went down past the the bottom of the African continent he circumnavigated the southern portion of South America he went to Fiji Tahiti New Zealand Easter Island he went everywhere Captain Cook is really one of the most important explorers in modern history in his third Journey Captain Cook tried to capture a Hawaiian they objected and murdered him along with some of his top men what do you think this is really an historical item they made 2 000 of these but all of these went to Captain Cook every single one of them in a cask and he carried them on his journey wow he was to give them out to local Chiefs as uh tokens of esteem so I mean so when he would land it on an island he would hand a few of these out and you know everyone would ooh and awe because a lot of these islands where he was landing at the indigenous people haven't even discovered metalworking yet right these were these would have been extremely interesting to the recipients and so each one of these is pedigreed right back to Captain Cook he handled every one of them well um there may have been some left over this may have been one that was presented and then handed down Generations or or found in uh in the soil all right so did they ever restrike these they struck the original batch um certainly people have tried to counterfeit them by casting them later but this is this is struck and it has this loop on top and all of them had that okay but it's it's The Real McCoy this is I mean I mean so that that was struck in 1772 absolutely do you hear Dave say this is from the 1700s is amazing but the fact that this was actually in Captain Cook's hand it's a real piece of history from one of the greatest explorers that ever lived so what do you would think it would go for at an auction this one's actually in pretty good condition very nice looking piece has some of the original lighter brassy color to it to me it's about a 7500 to 8 500 item that's amazing 85 75 to 8 500 for that yes wow okay um thank you very much congratulations thank you very much this was once owned and handled by Captain Cook so it's far more than just a metal it's a it's an historical object with a fantastic pedigree and collectors are willing to pay for that okay I should have just gave you your 50 bucks I think it's worth a couple more than 50 bucks I feel like I should ask for what it's worth so 7 500. no you know what I'm gonna give you five grand for it okay you know why I'm gonna give you five grand for it why because you owe it to me because remember an hour ago you wanted 50 bucks for it oh yeah that's true it's uh you just owe it to me because I just made you all this money well I guess you think about it think about it okay it wasn't for me you would have if you walked in any other place on the planet they would have gave you 50 bucks they would have left so I think five grand is a deal fair enough okay thank you I'll beat you right over there thank you sir this is cool I didn't know what I had walking in when he told me that this is what I'm gonna give you I was pretty happy with it you must own really large chickens no no I have chickens so what exactly is this this is an elephant bird egg okay I bought it for my business I have cell fossils and other Natural History things I thought you're gonna say you sell eggs laughs I'm here at the pawn shop today to try to sell my elephant bird egg I'm hoping to get twenty five hundred dollars for the egg I've had the egg for 15 years I think it's about time that somebody else gets some enjoyment out of it this is interesting so I know a little bit about the elephant bird but basically they were the biggest birds ever looked like an ostrich but it weighed twice as much it was like a foot taller right in fact I have a very old Trading Card the picture of the elephant bird this thing would be scary to be around I mean yeah I think ostriches our scriptures I know they dig these things up and they like piece them together from several eggshells yeah from several eggs yeah it's it's all these are little pieces uh so this is made of all elephant bird eggshell but not from one egg all right looks like they did a good job it's really really interesting they're super collectible as a matter of fact fossils nowadays they're still on fire people are really really getting into it here lately how much do you like to get out of it I'm thinking 2500. okay um tell you the truth I have no idea if that's a good number or if it's even made out of eggshells okay so if you don't mind I do have a friend who's paleontologist if I can get them down here to take a look at it I think that's great okay I'll be back here in a little bit all right that's right I'm calling in a expert wow elephant bird that's what she says may I absolutely wow these are pretty rare they're often fake too though these fossils are often faked because they are rare and valuable porcelain is something that's easily fakeable with these types of eggshells they're large they're heavy that's a material that can pass to a lot of untrained eyes so elephant Birds could get up to 10 feet tall and weigh as much as 1600 pounds so obviously they laid a big egg this is actually one of the larger eggs that I've seen somewhere smaller but this is well within range of what we would expect to see for an elephant bird okay so is it real it looks real but we need to take a closer look okay I'd like to take a look at the surface texture this lens is going to tell us all we need to know about the surface of the Shell let's see here wow there it is Rick see those long grooves in the Shell right there that's what we would expect to see from an elephant bird okay so we have an actual elephant bird egg we do have an actual elephant bird egg it is a composite who knows how many different eggs this thing is made of but there is some condition issues that I'd like to point out all of these abrasions here that's where the pieces didn't quite fit together so rather than taking the time to find pieces that fit better they just kind of ground them into place that's really going to affect the value so tell me is it worth it elephant load of cash I would appraise this egg fifty nine hundred dollars I think is a is a fair appraisal of this specimen I like your paleontologist okay thanks appreciate it thank you all right so you want 2 500 for it uh well now I'm thinking three thousand it's a very small Market it's very weird it will eventually sell tell you what I'll give you 2 800 for it it's more than a fair price I'm pretty sure you can't do three thousand on it I'm offering you more than you were asking I know that's true but your paleontologist really got my hopes up 2800 is best I could do [Music] around the corner just a paperwork I'll get you paid okay I think it's a fair enough price it's more than I came in for us so I'm happy hey how's it going pretty good how are you what do we got I got a 1984 Olympic boxing ticket stub with a few autographs on you might be interested in and I know the signature's right off the bat that's a Vander Holyfield Mike Tyson this is in 1984 and back then Holyfield had two ears right I'm at the pawn shop today to try and sell my 1984 Olympic boxing ticket stub back in the day I was a big fan of boxing so I drove down to the marina every day and became friendly with the U.S boxing team the ticket does have a little sentimental value the time that I spent with the Olympic boxers was special to me I'm looking to sell it because you can't take the ticket with you and you can do some good with the money I'm hoping to get 500 for this tickets dub this is definitely cool this was the 84 Olympic Games held in Los Angeles how's she going to sign it well it was a day where the Olympic U.S team had a buy they were all in the street clothes so I was kind of hanging out with them Mike's head was hanging low because he was just riding the pine yeah Mike Tyson was there as an alternate I mean he really didn't have anything to do unless somebody got injured or hurt right yeah I knew he was uh young and didn't have any money and first time on an airplane so I took him to lunch I just wanted to kind of lift the spirits a little bit came back they were still hanging out the guy we kind of sat next to was Evander and that's when I got Evander Holyfield's Holyfield won the bronze medal for the light heavyweight division after these games both these guys were huge I mean they both went pro immediately after that by 1988 they were both the criminal the Chrome of heavyweight boxing Tyson and Holyfield thought in 1996 uh I mean I'm sorry he just wasn't prepared to fight Holyfield the second time in 1997 heisen said he was sick of getting headbutted so he decided to for whatever reason right off Holyfield's ear so is history it's definitely cool so what are you looking to do with it I've had a long time I think I'm ready to sell it any idea what you're looking to get I think 500 bucks is a fair price okay um you know you got something really interesting here I've never seen anything like this you know if you just brought me uh Mike Tyson's signature I would have just said you know they're not really that much money same thing with Evander Holyfield but the fact that they're on the same thing at an event that they were both at long before they were really famous or anything like that I mean I think it's kind of cool I think it's kind of interesting I think it could be worth some money do you mind if I have a guy come in and take a look at the signatures please do all right um I'll be back in a few my one concern with the expert coming in to validate the signatures is the Rarity he's probably not seeing many adolescent signatures from those boxers back in the day so that concerns me hey what's up Steve hey Corey how you doing I'm doing good man um he's got his ticket stub from the 84 Olympics signed by the Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson really that's I have to be honest with you don't really see that too often the two of them together from that period because no one was really asking these guys when they were amateurs it just it'd be pretty rare you know these guys were both kids back then yeah and I mean you have to think about it Tyson was just uh you know an amateur they was 17 years old uh something like that right in that range he just turned 18. and Holyfield was a couple years older than him both came out of kind of rough areas you know and the tough kids some great Fighters I mean Steve obviously it's a weird item I mean are these their autographs I've only seen I think one other ticket signed by them that's it so it's pretty scarce to have them on an item together especially an Olympic tickets so the first thing I obviously I want to do is take a look at the ink on this thing and kind of just see what we're dealing with Corey and it looks like a ballpoint pen on Tyson and same thing for Evander Holyfield so it's a blue ballpoint pen so both are live on there no problems with that Tyson very difficult to find any kind of signature from him from that period I've seen just so few of them this is from one of the onlys I've ever seen signed and it's literally the same type of signature the Holyfield autograph very basic very neat and he takes his time with it so I'll tell you the truth he got a winner here okay so what would something like this go for well you know with the two of them together I think it's significant their history together kind of makes it worth more money and these are two of the most iconic boxers of all time this one is special and in today's Marketplace you're looking at about two thousand dollars oh wow my kids told me it was going to be a big hit but I thought not that big of a hit I'd say it's one of the neatest Olympic items from 84 I've ever seen wow all right man Steve thanks for coming by yep good luck with that take care all right it's a deal 500. wow you shouldn't have brought him in what do you take for it 1500. I'll double what you came in asking for and give you a thousand it's more than fair but knowing how rare it is now I think I'll stay at 1500. you know me having to sell this thing you know I might get somebody coming in offering me 1700 bucks for it I don't know exactly what I'm gonna get so I was gonna have to stick it a thousand I think after holding it for 37 years I can hold on for a couple more well my Opera stands so if you ever want to come back please do okay I appreciate it take care thanks you tried to hook me for a thousand dollars based on the Rarity I think I'm gonna pass take it home put in a nice frame and let everybody see it what exactly you got here it's uh World War II ammunition hand cart all right do you know much about it it's a rusty old car with broken down tires what else do you need to know believe it or not I got it out of a garbage pile it looks like it belongs in a garbage I really don't know a lot about it I thought it would make a cool flower pot but then when I saw the placard on it with the date I was thinking maybe this thing's worth the money so how would this work would you like hook it up to a horse I imagine there was a handle right there but you would hook it up to a Jeep if you needed to just moving stuff around the thing's built like a tank I mean obviously it was built so it could be shot do you know which company made it or anything like that there's a placard on it that just tells what area it came from okay we got a hand carts and Rock Island Arsenal it's from World War II I imagine basically every bit of industry is making something for the work you know most people don't realize this during World War II there was no cars made for personal use the saying was stop making what you're making start making stuff for the war during World War II America's policy was basically all hands on deck everyone was expected to help with the war effort and a cart like this was an important piece of equipment it could haul ammo food medical supplies and in a pinch you could throw a wounded soldier on it and bring him back from the battlefield fully restored these things can fetch a pretty penny so how much you want for this thing I actually had it in a paper for sale with zero research I put it in for five hundred dollars so obviously it didn't sell for 500 not yet all right um yeah I mean the one great thing you do have is it's all here I mean it looks neat It looks interesting there's a lot of collectors for stuff from World War II my problem is I don't even know if it'd be worth fixing up so what if I call someone I got a one buddy who knows about this stuff and if it's not worth restoring he might buy it off you for parts all right all right pretty nervous if it turns out to be a piece of crap I guess I have a new flower pot it's a rare flying because most of them went to Europe during World War II they were used to carry everything from food to a 50 caliber machine gun even mortars were put in these things this is probably made in the early 40s and they were pretty useful as a matter of fact in the 1962 movie The Longest Day when the Duke got wounded they put him in here and carried him into battle it is just really cool and they're freaking hard to find good news for me I guess huh if I walked in I knew it was a hand card from World War II everything was carried in them I felt sorry for the guys that had to pull them but these things went all over Europe and they pulled a lot of things and put a lot of miles on them really it's not in bad shape he got all the original uh castings and everything original wheels and bearings which is hard to find so how much this thing worth the way it sits well these were selling for fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars in this condition really because I thought it was a complete piece of myself um in a restored condition you can almost double that um because they want it if it looks like the real thing they're happy with it all right so tell me how much would it cost to restore it probably talking about 12 to 1400 dollars okay thanks man I really appreciate it thank you for a series collector this is a must-have if this guy is not totally crazy with his asking price I'm gonna try and get it honestly I didn't think it was worth that much either I'm still sort of like baffled I'll tell you what I'll give you 400 bucks for it I know he said it was worth a lot more but I give you 400 bucks I pay him 12 to 1400 to restore it before you know it I'm in this thing close to two thousand dollars it takes up space in my shop of what I was asking in the paper so I'll take 400 if you'll take a picture of it when you finish it yeah I'll send you a picture of when I finish it's really cool all right all right 400 bucks man thanks I love it when there's no haggle but I'm still a little worried about this one if there's any problems with this piece and the restoration goes over budget there goes my profit hopefully it all pans out so what do you guys think well this thing looks pretty good it does look cool looks straight out of GI Joe in the movie oh hey we'll grab our rifles we'll grab our guns and we'll join it doesn't look anything what it looked like well it took a lot of work actually it's a little small thing it was so intense to get it done it was pretty tough what you have to do well um I ripped the floor out and I actually made new ribs for it I put all the original holes where they're supposed to be so that way if you want to mount a 50 caliber in here you can okay I think it came out pretty good yeah I mean I was absolutely shocked that it looks like this thing right here because when I gave it to you it looked like hell you gotta realize this thing went through World War II you know it was just a tough tough life this thing had you were telling me before they sell for like 2 500 I'll be honest with you I would start at 2 800. and feel where you're comfortable from there I wouldn't let it go for a dime less because the collectors that go for these you know it's got to be original and with the numbers on there it pops so what are the numbers mean it's the sixth vehicle headquarters third division so you should be able to get a good price for it big question how much are you well like I said I told you 1400 and that's it okay let me go pay it let me see what it gets like with a little weight in here so you can pull 185 pounds yeah but you're more like 240. Trump looked like a real Soldier pulling Rick around I'm surprised Rick even got in the cart slow down Trump slow down what do we have here I have a photo of and letter by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow now that's cool Longfellow he was the biggest there was Unfortunately today I would say close to 99 of Americans can't even name a poet probably not I got this in the mid 70s I went to an auction there was this table just full of what looked to me to be junk in that group of stuff was this letter and photograph already framed a bid 20 on it my kids aren't interested in it so you may as well see what I can get for it here at the pawn shop is it a poem no it's a basically a letter I think this dear Madam whoever she was wrote to him for a photograph and some autographs to use an affair and he's sending that to make some money for the fair okay that is definitely cool we live in such a different Society now in the 19th century poetry was so important it really was I mean the guy who wrote poems was as big as a huge author or a really big actor exactly and he was really was a superstar back then this is the guy who when he passed away they put a it was a statue or a bust or something like that in Westminster Abbey in England okay poet's Corner yeah and I think he was the only American ever put in there up to that point there might be some now but I think up at that point he was the only one there yeah and if you know how snooty the English were especially back then they still hadn't forgiven us for beating them in two Wars Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the most popular poet in the United States in the 19th century almost every kid in school in this country has learned about the midnight ride of Paul Revere that poem created The Legend of Paul Revere Longfellow really was that influential I'm assuming this is all real I mean the ink looks like from the period how much were you looking to get I was hoping to get like 300 bucks for it um a big concern I have here is you this is one of the most famous men in the United States yeah okay it wouldn't surprise me if this guy got hundreds of letters every day I don't know if he can respond to every one of them sometimes they would have a secretary write the letter or he might have done the whole thing himself this might have been went to his secretary you take care of those let's give me a couple I'll take care of those myself cool I am a writer I guess we'll never know will we okay um no there is a way um if you can hang out for a little bit here I would like to get my friend down here to take a look at it I have a friend that's a handwriting expert he's one of the most respected people in this field hang out a few minutes I'm gonna go give him a call and um we'll get this figured out cool thanks I'm sort of hyped about him bringing in an expert it may surprise me it may uh may make me go back in my car and cry I don't know we'll see what's up Rick good everything in this world is great I like hearing that how you doing how are you this is it this is what I called you about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow you know in terms of what this is it's got great potential in all honesty this guy's really sought after him this is really neat you know if it checks out I love well so don't get your hopes up yet back when Longfellow was alive poets were very popular and that's why he kind of had that rock star status he'd get paid a lot of money just for one poem he could get paid at that time up to three thousand dollars what I want to do is take a look at the ink on here and there's going to be several indicator especially how the ink kind of adheres to the paper so I'm going to follow the signature along here and it kind of looks like it starts off pretty strong okay but the more I'm moving along here you see how it gets very faint towards the end so he's using a quill to write with it as the Ink's running out and the Ink's running out of the coil is dead wow no doubt about being on here so that's one good sign okay um the next thing I want to do is I want to pull up the examples that I have on file here now in this example yours very truly we see yours very truly I mean we're looking at live Inc okay so it's all legit absolutely there's no question about it so what do you think it's worth uh the value on this piece especially with a beautiful signature on there the photograph the framing everything included right around fifteen hundred dollars cool cool good luck good to see you yep take care well you know there's a lot of different collectors that would kind of tap into this piece and I think an autograph collector first and foremost would want it someone asking for his autograph in 1881 I think that's about as cool as it gets what'd you want for this 300 bucks that's in the past okay I have a little more information now uh I don't think 300 is going to do it for me I would sure like to see 900 bucks for it I'll tell you what I'll give you 700 bucks okay You Walked In Here Wanting 300 I had your stuff authenticated for you yeah and I'm offering you more than double what you were asking okay I I think it's more than fair of me for seven hundred dollars [Music] yeah let's do 700. sweet thank you sir I will meet you right over there and I will get you some cash oh I like that 700 isn't 900 but you know it's okay it's a whole lot more than 300. I may go back home and dig through the closets again see what I can find hey how's it going so got some old school Viking artifacts for you all right whoa I mean this is definitely some money right here [Music] I really want to make a couple thousand dollars a day it's a couple of items I didn't know exactly what they were the prize possession I believe is this gold Viking bracelet and the things I had to trade for it it better be one of a kind all right so where did you get this stuff I have a buddy that lives in England and he has an antique store and we buy and we trade from each other and I have something he wanted so he happened to trade me for this stuff all right these are more like fragments of something yeah that was approach obviously some kind of jewelry I mean all this stuff is I mean the problem is I don't know what it is okay these two are really intriguing this is really neat I think it's what's left of a copper bracelet okay it's my favorite piece out of all of them you almost never see legitimate biking items here in the U.S if small and broken pieces like some of the things in this collection could be worth a lot of money if they're authentic because real biking items are hard to come by I'm not even sure what everything is but you never want to dismiss anything too quickly there might be a diamond in the rough did you know much about the Vikings I mean just in general I knew there were bullies I like how they would come in and just gangster everything around um and yeah that's basically what they did these were the most iron men you've ever seen in your life and just the way their culture developed was that they just believed it was a lot easier just to go take stuff from people than they actually trade with them you know if you went to most parts of Europe there was planting season well Scandinavia they planted crops and everything but there was also rating season I have always been fascinated with biking history their exploits are legendary and I would just love to get something that's authentic but I have to make sure they're truly biking and not just rusty bits of stuff he dug out of the ground I'm assuming you want to sell the stuff yes I would love to sell them all right um and did you have an idea what you wanted for this stuff I was thinking around a thousand bucks okay um now this stuff right here okay I can't tell you what it was made okay okay I don't know if this is Celtic from like uh Ireland Scotland is haunted okay I know I can't tell you anything about it okay I can't tell you when this was made but I can tell you this is gold so you there's a lot more than a thousand dollars worth of gold here so I do have a friend he is in town I met him in New York and he actually works on the Viking collection there at the Metropolitan Museum of Art um can I have him look at this stuff that's not a problem okay you're my guess hang out um maybe buy something [Laughter] I know he's calling an expert but that makes it better for me so him calling the expert just puts money in my pocket this is my Viking friend nice to meet you Laird is the most knowledgeable guy I have ever met when it comes to Viking history and artifacts he's been collecting this stuff for almost 20 years and some of his items are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art so I'm hoping he can tell me more about these pieces and what they're worth what was the thing with the little hats they would wear with the horns on it the weird hats I call them the weird hats but well the weird hats actually come from uh Wagner's operas they were an improvised improvisation of what they thought liking helmets might look like you know they really thought of as a very barbaric people Vikings actually never wore horn helmets we know very little about what Viking helmets actually were there's been one or two finds of Viking helmets remember these are iron items and they didn't last long in the ground I I guess before I proceed did this all come as part of one collection yeah it was all together all one if we look at what I'd say is is this group of items right here this is diagnostically Baltic Viking balcony Viking is that not Viking well I think it's the academics would say technically it's not Viking these are tribes that were not necessarily as migratory as the Vikings or as warlike they're contiguous with the Viking areas and they traded quite a bit with them and they copied their style of Garb their style of decorations if you or I were put back in time and we walked in on these people they would have looked like Vikings to us okay unfortunately you see a lot of these types of items on on auction sites right now because of that the values very low to negligible on these items this this particular piece caught my eye um this is part of a bracelet it's a copper alloy and so Viking currency what they would do to trade is they would just cut bits of bronze and silver and they'd weigh it out they the merchants all carried scales and that's how they would transact you know this item is probably worth fifty dollars okay the complete bracelet uh is obviously larger and more interesting the dragon head terminals are really an attempt to copy uh Viking jewelry that was being made in Sweden at the time around the 10th Century um and this item would probably be worth about 175 to 200 all right and this stuff this stuff um this is based on its size and certainly not a viking spear it's an arrowhead of some sort it could date from any time okay I'd have to defer on that it's not worth a lot but it's certainly outside of my range of expertise and the bracelet the bracelet is it appears to be Viking Gold so you're saying this is a legit Viking goal the magical goal well I can't endorse any magic uh to it but I would say it would appear from its form and how it's manufactured these pleiated wires to be very traditional Viking obviously it would appear to be the the star of of this group of items auction estimates on it would be something between you know six thousand to eight thousand British pounds which would be and I'll I'll leave it to you to translate please translate my fine friends um six thousand pounds would be right around um 9400 bucks [Laughter] man I knew it was worth something he quoted the bracelet I had over nine thousand dollars and I think that's great because I only thought I was gonna get a grand out of it so looks like I hit the jackpot well thanks for coming in man I really appreciate it if you want to see some real exciting stuff I've got a couple swords that uh be happy to bring by the shop and show you I'm very back I'll take a look terrific hey appreciate you buddy all right my pleasure all right I'm gonna show you what I want okay these right here I want to give you 150 bucks for it um I was thinking more along the lines of about 400. you heard what the guy told you I know what he told me but you know this I I don't have a lot of customers going hey dude you got some bike and Jewelry I'll go 200 on it do that you can do a 300. um I'll tell you what I'll do 250. you short ask the best you can do keep them in all right all right we got a deal 250. now this right here I was thinking right around six thousand dollars stinking around eight thousand dollars okay I'm playing this simple I'll give you seven thousand I will not give you any more that is what I will give you it is a more than fair price 75 no seven thousand dollars okay I mean I'm not a hard guy to deal with it you're the one walked in here wanted a thousand for all of it and you're walking out of here with 72.50 okay well for the magical goal we'll have to settle with that buddy okay all right okay I'm gonna box this stuff up and I will meet you right over there at the pond counter okay 7200 I'm gone hit the jackpot straight to the bank let's get on hey how you doing well how's it going pretty good what can I do for you I just came in to sell my helmet here how did you get this so we were at an estate sale uh me and my sister and I came across and uh that was a super cool it reminded me of an old football helmet you know from like the 1800s are you a football player or something yeah it used to be I feel like Magneto Xavier won't get anything from me I'm here at the pawn shop today to try and sell my iron helmet it's really really old looking and kind of thought it'd just be something cool to have I've done a little bit of research on it and I'm hoping to sell the helmet today here for about 750 dollars man this thing is sexy I'm by far no expert on these but it looks like the craftsmanship of the time from the 6th 7th 8th Century you know they obviously didn't have the same type of tools we had for precision cutting and stuff today so it just looks really really cool it's an Anglo-Saxon helmet and they would have been worn by you know all kinds of people even the Vikings a little worse something similar like this [Music] I think this man out of iron I'm pretty buff so it doesn't seem very heavy but I mean probably weighs about five to eight pounds maybe I'm thinking yeah if you're getting an arrow shot at your head I'd rather have this than a piece of wood there right yeah this is going to protect you a lot more how much are you looking to get I want to get 750 for it um honestly I don't know if it's worth 757.50 or seven thousand dollars I really have no idea if it's real it could be worth more than that I'd like to have my guy come down test it see if it's from the period and maybe we'll be able to make a deal awesome sounds great I find something to buy just in case you get some money from this appreciate it thank you I'm really excited for an expert to come in and take a look at it I'm hoping you can authenticate it so I can get exactly what I want hey Bob how you doing it's Emily how you doing bud oh take a step back so that's what you called me down for I thought you said you had a sexy helmet oh well it was on me so it was sexy for quite a few minutes uh no it's not a sexy helmet what you've got appears to be an authentic Anglo-Saxon helmet but to find one in this condition you just don't find them iron doesn't last for 1500 years will you find them they're usually powder so my guess this wouldn't have been found in the ground it would have either been an a bog or possibly a river someplace where there wasn't a whole lot of oxygen that could get to it to have it deteriorate what do you got to do to test it out and make sure it's real this little gun will shoot a little beam of X-ray into it if everything goes right the xrf is going to show me the metals it's made out of and that will tell me if there's carbon steel which is how it would have been made 1500 years ago so let's take a look at it so it's made 99.76 Iron okay and then traces of copper zinc chromium this is carbon steel so this is what it should be made out of okay it's official it's a one in a million I mean it's that rare I've got goosebumps I just don't see these things I mean this is just well I got goosebumps now too what kind of person would you know collect something like this it's a museum piece or somebody who's a refined collector and wants to show off that man I've got something that nobody else has it's very desirable all right and the most important question what's it worth a lot fifteen thousand fifteen thousand dollars fifteen thousand dollars now I'm sad I didn't buy it for 750. shouldn't have called me well I appreciate you coming in my pleasure if I make a sale I'll give you a call and let you know see you later all right he said it's worth about fifteen thousand it's a small Market but it is desirable would you be able to take 7 500 seven no couldn't do seventy five hundred the experts set of fifteen thousand so I think we'll start at fifteen thousand it's one in a million funds I'm not going to be able to pay you 15 000 for you you got to give me some room in here what what give me a good number that you'd be happy with how about uh probably eleven thousand eleven thousand is a lot better than fifteen thousand but still more than I wanna pay [Music] 95. can come up a little bit more than than 95 I know uh he was just telling you the Rarity of it and the condition it's in I really can't 9 500 leaves me a good amount of room and I have to sell it it could stay here for a year it could see her for two days ten thousand dollars ten big ones I'm not going to let it walk over 500. so for ten thousand dollars you have a deal ten thousand dollars it's yours pleasure I'll meet you over at the counter I'm in shock I had no idea it was worth that much I can't believe I'm leaving here today with ten thousand dollars just blows my mind hey what's going on guys hey what's up I'm looking at solo book sell a book what kind of book is it uh it's an annual registry of 1776. the Declaration of Independence is printed in it wow I brought an annual registry of 1776 which contains a copy of the Declaration of Independence I'm looking to sell my book today to take my lady out here in Las Vegas get her drunk and maybe she'll marry me 1777 in England okay when this came out this was all news from the year previous but the compiling of information was not really great back then and this was basically the 1777 version of Wikipedia people come in here all the time with random items they know very little about but I actually know what this is It's like a journal that covers the major events of a year imagine the people in England are reading this and trying to make sense of this ragtag group in the colonies that were willing to put their lives on the line to fight against the most powerful country in the world I'm sure a lot of them were none too pleased where did you get it that was my grandfather's okay and uh we re-cased it to stabilize the book so Pages wouldn't fall out generally you don't restore old books just so you know unless it's like absolutely necessary it was absolutely necessary looking through it it's most likely Pro English it would probably be a really interesting read everything they have to say about those damn colonists you know trying to Rebel from the King all right here we go the Articles of the Confederation what's all that about how old are you I'm 30. oh it's the Articles of the Confederation it's the first Constitution of the United States okay all right what you want to do with it uh I was looking to sell it how much were you looking to get out of it um two grand um I'm intrigued I'm deeply intrigued because something printed from 1776 it has things like the Declaration of Independence in it could be some serious money son do me a favor before you leave what'd you call Rebecca all right bye love you too Rebecca knows everything there is to know about books okay I want you to look around for a little bit we'll wait on Rebecca and uh cool sounds good it's amazing to think what was going on in the world when this book was published and the fact that this is printed in a British point of view makes it really interesting I have to be honest I've never seen anything like this hey what's up hey Rick nice to see you a guy brought in an old annual register these things aren't usually a big deal but this one is from 1776. it includes the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of the Confederation it's an amazing find and Rebecca's going to help me come up with a price that's it it's really cool one bad thing is though he did rebind it this is definitely a rebuying and definitely a recent recent rebind but it will affect the value of the book just so everyone knows that that's your opinion she knows you know you come to me for an appraisal I'm going to give you my opinion so that's what you're gonna get so you've got the annual register this is actually a pretty important publication at the time it was edited by Edmund Burke who was a member of parliament he was famous incidentally for supporting the American colonists in the revolution okay for example he gave a very famous speech supporting the repeal of the T tax you know the T tax that led to the Boston Tea Party that's why the history books read it I know the real story all right well I'm not going to get into that with you but one thing that's cool about this too there are descriptions of battles in here and the major major defeat of Washington in New York and it was a huge loss for Washington they had to retreat over the Delaware very famous and it was a pretty good example for the English they're reading about this saying of course the Americans colonists don't stand a chance the annual register was the perfect publication for any kind of gentleman or any educated man who wanted to know what was happening in the world not only history but politics anything that people were talking about was put in this magazine so what do we have here this is really a landmark here period I mean not only do you have the description of battles but you have the Declaration of Independence you have the Articles of Confederation I'm kind of like all right bang our year but that doesn't necessarily equate to Value you're right this one you have issues I mean there's a tape repair here and I really mean literally tape which and then of course you've got the rebind so with all that in mind I would value it at about three thousand do you think that much yeah all right you're the best yeah yeah having help thank you take care awesome if Rick decides to go forward with this I don't think he'll have a hard time finding a buyer Americana is a huge area in collecting everyone loves it well what's the plan Stan I mean what's your absolutely best price on it well let's start at the two grand and I will not be Bartered with um you can make some money off of that still I know but would you ever pull three thousand dollars out of your pocket for a book for like a first edition Nintendo Power yes I don't even know what that is uh let me give you 1500 bucks let's go 16. we got a deal all right all right I'll go 1600 bucks awesome um I will meet you right up front cool sounds good I feel great I would have walked away with a thousand and been just as happy don't tell Rick that I can't believe that little kid got me hey how's it going good how are you I'm pretty good two it's just gold coin if I could okay eight escudos this is a Spanish stamp here this is like the Royal Crest of Spain so where did you get this I got that from my grandfather when he died he left a safe full of contents any other cool things in the safe not really no no holy Grails or anything like that no nothing I'm going into the pawn shop today to see if I can sell my grandfather's gold coin he kept it in plastic so it's in really good shape looks really old and I don't really have any use for it so I'm gonna I'm gonna see what they can do for me here do you know much about this I don't know much about it at all okay I know a little bit about the coin I mean it's eight escudos um it was from Lima Peru they had like the worst mines in the world I mean it was 2 000 feet deep you would go down it was cave-ins there was no ventilation there was no nothing it was just really really brutal but it made a fortune for the Spanish when the Spanish occupied Latin America and South America they used forced slave labor to work the mines it was a brutal and dangerous job and a life expectancy was short coins back then were weird the size didn't have to be exactly correct it just had to have the right amount of goals the right weight and the right Purity when they stamped these coins out you didn't always get a great strike like this it's almost too good to be true this coin is an exceptional condition and I've seen similar coins fetch thousands of dollars at auction so if this is a real piece of Spanish treasure from the 1700s I want it so do you want a Potter to sell it I want to sell it what were you looking to get out of it uh I'd like to get 2 000 if I could okay um this coin is in really great shape but this is easily counterfeited there's a lot of fakes out there so I'd really like someone to take a look at it okay if you don't mind nope I got a buddy who knows everything or there is to know about these I'm come in and we'll see what we can do sounds great thanks thank you hey Carl how's it going good to see you Rick why'd you get me up so early well I called you down here for this it was one of those things that looked a little too good to be true I'm an expert on Spanish Colonial coins if you want to know anything about Spanish Colonial coins I'm Your Man that's the Lima Ada scudo and in this corner there's an L that means Lima Peru mint eight is the denomination biggest gold coin to Spanish made the PVS across the center is an abbreviation for the Latin term plus Ultra meaning more Beyond these two columns which represent the pillars of Hercules which was the Straits of Gibraltar they used to think you sailed out past there you fall off the edge of the world a few years back there was a big Scandal on some counterfeit that's why I wanted to have it checked out did you throw that on the scale yeah I did it's 27.0 grams that is right on very rarely will they be right on 27 grams most castings are underweight I know your concern is could it be counterfeit and there are a lot of counterfeit pieces going around from everything I can see on this one I'd say it's it's absolutely genuine okay so what do you think this is worth I would put a price tag give eighteen thousand on it okay well I really appreciate you coming in Carl thank you Rick congratulations thank you very much that's right finding treasure absolutely okay so the big question is what do you want for it sounds like 18 000 to me no I don't why would we give you 10 grand for it how about 12. how about 10 grand no I can I can take it somewhere else how about 10-5 I could I could pack it up and go I would I wouldn't take anything less than eleven thousand oh um I guess I gotta do what I gotta do eleven thousand eleven thousand okay thank you let's go do the paperwork you got it I'm shocked at how much the coin was worth I had no idea considering I was only asking for two thousand dollars when I first got here and now I'm getting 11 000. I feel very happy with that hey how's it going good how are you all right just looking around sure unfortunately even when I'm on vacation I can't help myself I'm always looking for deals one of the weird things about a random antique shop you'll never know what you'll find it might just be completely full of junk might be full of treasures might be overpriced might be underpriced is the player a piano for sale well everything has its price what year is it it's 110 years old and it works and everything like that yeah here try it it's a hit of the store okay [Music] what do you think so what would you take for it it'd have to be more than ten thousand that's a little more than I want to pay well I'd be in trouble if I sold it I gave it to my wife for her birthday how much do you love your wife a lot okay well this place has got pretty damn big so there might be that one little treasure stashed in the corner somewhere this is definitely pretty cool excuse me question yeah do you know anything about this it's on consignment I don't know anything about it looks like some sort of helmet Samurai helmet it looks like you're asking 300 bucks for it I probably shouldn't tell you this but you're not asking nearly enough for this thing he had a price for 300 I have a conscience I believe in karma I had to tell him what it was worth um because it could retail for as much as 2500 bucks really yeah I own the ugly trailer antiques in Hurricane Utah with a Samurai helmet I was really surprised that it was worth that much that blew me away I think the customer that has It On consignment will be thrilled this is actually really cool this is a Samurai helmet from late Edo period when is that early 1600s to basically 1868 I believe somewhere right around there you know you had the Emperor who was like the king and then you had the samurai which was sort of like the Royal Court they're basically the equivalent of like dukes and Earls in England over the years I've seen a few Samurai helmets I've seen a lot of samurai swords so when you get those things in your store you try and do a lot of research on them that way you know next time they come in what to look for I mean everything on this thing looks right so how much would you take for it but will you give me 1250. how you do a little better than that you only wanted 300 to start with [Laughter] so what would you take for it well I think after what I've learned about it today I think we've got to have at least two for it um 1500 uh come on you can do better than that 17. I'll go 16. 1650. all right 1650. all right let's go ride it up usually I say that [Laughter] to show when you're going to an antique store in a small town every once in a while you can find something I think I can sell it quick hey how's it going well I was in a while ago I sold an item to you guys some crabby old bald-headed guy you look like an honest guy but I still don't trust you must have been my dad oh how nice for you couldn't agree with you more what do we got this is an 1838 Colt Patterson pistol who are you Pistol Pete I am not Pistol Pete that sucks I'm a military and gun collector I swap by trade a lot of different guns this was the first gun built by Samuel Colt I'd like to get fifteen thousand dollars for this gun if pressed I could probably go as low as 12 000. so what's so special about this gun now before this gun the only real reliable guns out there were the single shot cap and balls this was the first successful repeating gun yeah this was the very first one that used a rotating cylinder for a single barrel the cool thing about this particular piece is that this gun belonged to William R Manning who was a civil war colonel it's got William R Manning's name engraved on it on the grip there Buffalo Bill got this gun from him at some point returned it to his daughter May Manning Lily and her husband who was Pawnee Bill forgive me I don't know who Manning is I know who Peyton Manning is and Eli Manning that's about it they have to be direct descendants I mean I'm certain I don't know who this Manning is but Pawnee Bill was a western showman that did work with Buffalo Bill we're talking about some of the most iconic figures in the wild west if it checks out we got a major find here I think it's easily worth every penny of fifteen thousand dollars in this condition with this story you know it very well could be ma'am uh it all goes down to condition and serial numbers and after all that I mean I have to be pretty cautious because last one of these I had come in was actually fake mind if I have a buddy of mine come down and check it out because somebody said I can't give you a price on them he's not one of those College pukes is he I'm sure he is it's got that college boy look about him no that would be great I hope this college puked that they're bringing in doesn't tell me this gun is fake I'll be quite disappointed here we go man Colt Patterson pistol with some Buffalo Bill stuff attached to it wow it's a nice piece yeah uh absolutely it's the gun that started it all this was the very first percussion revolver right call chartered new territory with the development of the Colt Patterson they made about a thousand and I would guess there are probably a hundred left they're very very rare and very very valuable what's the story with Buffalo Bill this gun originally belonged to a William R Manning okay who was a colonel uh with the 50th artillery regiment from Georgia during the Civil War he was a confederate he was a confederate Buffalo Bill got this gun from him at some point returned it to his daughter May Manning Lily and her husband who was Pawnee Bill it's pretty much laid out here Buffalo Bill is a big name in history and if you've got a gun that can be even tangentially related to him you're talking a lot of money the box I have no doubt was sold by this family and I have no doubt there was a gun in it the question is was this the gun in the Box I see it does look like old engraving um another thing you have to look at is the type style is this a is this a modern font or is it an antique font okay the engraving does look old so I'll give you that okay Corey what are your concerns add fake ones come in before you've had fake cold patterns come in okay yeah there are fake cold Pattersons once you add the whole Buffalo Bill thing to it I just at a complete loss of what to even offer they got ah there's a characteristic to the Cole Patterson the barrel is okay the barrel seven and a half inches long were they standard at seven and a half inches now they made them seven and a half inches and they made them nine inches this is a standard barrel length which is good now we talked about this being an early gun let's look at the serial number serial number will appear usually in two places and they're sort of hard to find places pull the barrel off for me I don't want to be the one that breaks this thing after you know there you go okay yeah the first serial number is going to be right there you've got it there and let's see what it says and the serial number is two whoa two is that good uh well let me put it this way what's the most expensive pistol ever sold in America I don't know Patterson million dollars great condition I mean it would look brand new if this gun is serial number two second cult ever made it's Priceless this is a really big deal okay I mean it's a really big deal let's look around for more serial numbers there's usually one under the grip [Music] and the number is [Music] bigger than two how much bigger than two 936 numbers bigger than two and don't be disappointed this is still a rare gun you know very shortly after this gun was made Cole went bankrupt yes one of the things that one of Colt's Partners did was that he decided to recover his investment by sort of taking inventory and selling it and what he did is he continued to assemble and sell Colt Patterson's okay and my opinion is is that's one of these okay Colt went out of business yes his partner grabbed all the boxes of inventory off the shelves it just started mixed matching guns and putting them together stuffing things together yeah this doesn't become an undesirable gun it just means it's got mismatched serial numbers okay that being said what's it worth now um okay the condition of the gun is what I would say is Maybe core Plus but there are probably about 150 to 200 Colt Pattersons that even still remain and that you have a story I tend to believe in other words the totality the package here to me says that the story is probably true okay um so that he was a colonel in the Confederate Army that's a big deal Buffalo Bill connection big deal with everything I've seen positives negatives I'm probably going to say 25 100 000. okay yes thank you sir may I ask what you're asking more than I was when I brought it in I'll just say not knowing that number pay the money okay pay the money you're not going to get another chance appreciate it man take care well it's not number two but it's still a Colt Patterson there were less than a thousand of these guns made and that means something means that it's a very rare gun well you heard what he had to say what do you want for the gun I was asking 15 how about 19. I'm thinking more in the 12 range oh God let's see I bring in a gun and you want to rob me uh uh I just 12 is no 12 is way too low give me another number I'm not paying 19 for the gut okay uh how about 17. how about we go back to what you originally wanted for it and I'll give you 15. 15 huh oh geez yeah I can do 15. Jenny we'll write you if I'm walking out of here with 15 000 Green and I'm gonna use it for my collection to get something I really want hey how can I help you I'd like to try and sell this Colt revolver this is cool do you know much about it I know it's an old piece I want to say 1800s this is a very early Colt Single Action Army this is uh this is 1870s and everyone wanted them and they also had the world's greatest advertising campaign God made all men and Colt made them all equal the pawn shop today to sell my cult revolver I don't know much about Colt revolvers mine looks old and I'm hoping it's worth a lot of money if I'm able to sell the revolver today I'll probably just take the family on vacation maybe a cruise or something the Colt Single Action Army really was just incredibly revolutionary I mean this this was the most high-tech thing around in the 1870s before this it was you've seen the old movies them you know packing the guns with gunpowder and putting a ball in this this had cartridges this was super accurate this had interchangeable parts this shot straight it didn't break I mean it was just a high quality gun and this is an incredible set of grips we have a federal Eagle here you have the shield the lances and these were twice as much money as any other comparable gun to them dream gun of every cold collector if you have ever seen a western you've seen this gun I want this thing I want this thing I want this thing but I have to make sure everything checks out so where did you get this thing I'm a bail bondsman and somebody put it up for collateral and they never paid off the bonds so they surrendered it there's an appraisal on it I took it in for twenty five thousand dollars that's what they owe that's what I'd like to get okay um and they're saying an obvious Factory reversal of the numbers it's often the case with arms engraved and nickeled so you want 25 000 for this yeah do you mind if I have someone take a look at this thing I mean I just have a lot of questions other guy I mean it's really weird that you have two serial numbers on the gun but if everything checks out maybe we can make a deal great okay hang on five minutes I'll get him down here and um we'll go from there okay I'm a little excited and a little nervous to hear what the expert has to say he might devalue it then again he might increase the value ah um it's a pretty neat gun my big fear with things like this is usually when it's too good to be true it's too good to be true what do you think I mean at First Look it's it's gorgeous what's really nice about this is this is a known pistol this has been in two books and one of them is the cult Bible so it's a Single Action Army seven and a half inch barrel which was the standard Cavalry length The Single Action Army changed everything I mean this is the gun that won the West also known as the peace major the Colt 45 I mean this started it all cool the grips are the thing that makes everybody go wow you see this here this High Relief these are civil war scenes Colt didn't make that grip uh there was a retailer the largest retailer firearms in the United States was Schuler Hartley and Graham this style grip is extremely rare it you see it more on older pistols percussion pistols but on a Single Action Army this grip is these are hens teeth all right but there's some really weirdness with the serial numbers [Music] most cult collectors go I want all matching serial numbers but I think it's a pretty fair assessment to say look these were hand stamped they were making them thousands and shipping them out and that could just be a simple mistake it could drive the value down a bit but there's so much right about this beautiful gun that you know for me I would still want it so we have an 1876 really fancy cult you got a piece of magic here okay so what is this piece of magic worth I would say that at auction I would safely guess that this would sell for 35 000. if it went above 50 it wouldn't really surprise me wow I was thinking it was going to be a little bit less than that but I'm not surprised I mean it's a beautiful piece okay well thanks man you're welcome appreciate it okay thank you this gun is an excellent buy for the shop the model is known as The Peacemaker but if Rick can get a good deal it'll be known as the money maker all right so 25 no problem Amy what's your best price you give me 40 000 I walk out the door no you're if at forty thousand you're walking out the door with a gun even though you can sell this for fifty five sixty thousand here no no he says maybe 35. I got 26. 27 500 gun's yours we got a deal great I'll meet you right over there honey pack your bags because I'm taking this 27 500 and I'm gonna take the whole family on vacation hi there hey how's it going good got a 1922 proof High Relief matte finish coin okay where did you get this I wanted at a poker game believe it or not this is like one of the Holy Grails of American coins and you went into Pokemon yep whoa came down to the pawn shop today to uh try to sell a 1922 proof coin I don't know a lot about it but uh the guy who lost it to me said it was really valuable so hoping to get 20 000 out of it this is cool in 1921 we brought the silver dollar back and The Story Goes is they were going to try and make some really high relief ones what this means by high relief right here is the image really comes off the coin okay it's much higher detail and I don't know the exact story but there was like some problems and they got melted down and most people didn't even know they existed for like 15 years and then also some stories came from the men but they actually existed so there's like a dozen of these things in the world pretty rare well it's beyond rare the 1922 High Relief peace dollar is one of the rarest coins in American history it definitely shocks me that people will walk up to my counter and pull out an item worth 50 or 100 000 or more I definitely want this thing but I have to make absolutely sure this is the real deal [Music] silver dollars is what every coin collector collects everyone collects silver dollars and maybe they collect half dollars nickels but they all buy silver dollars I mean that's the Mainstay of collectible coins okay so how much you want for it twenty thousand wait you want 20 for it twenty thousand do you think it's worth it sure no problem let's go no um no this is worth a lot more than 20 grand oh that's pretty awesome do you mind if I call a friend to take a look at this I have a few mega mega concerns here okay I've never seen one in person and I just want to make sure everything's legit I mean if someone was to fake a coin this is the one they would do it on um I'm actually friends with a guy who works at NGC he's one of the best coin graders and if everything's legit um maybe we'll do some business so that's good all right hang out all right I think there's a good chance it's legit obviously nothing in this world is 100 but I'm happy with an expert coming in for sure Dave Rick how you doing I am doing absolutely fabulous and this is it wow it isn't every day a 1922 High Relief peace dollar walks in the door this guy got in a poker game oh my God it's always nice to get called in on an exciting coin this coin is particularly interesting historical and it's rare is hence teeth [Music] now what exactly is the story with this coin I mean this was the coin the government minted but no one knew they minted it for like 15 or 20 years that's correct none of these had transacted until 1937. these were more or less unknown and They carried over the high relief of the 1921 issues all of which by the way were stuck in a one-week period at the end of 1921. now the high relief design was sort of a Triumph of Art and a failure of Technology because although they were beautiful they couldn't strike them with enough pressure to get a lot of them out so they ended up early in 1922 having to reduce the relief of the design okay so I assume your main concern is is it real yeah okay definitely [Laughter] it is in an NGC holder which is wonderful the holder is completely intact and genuine Quine is perfectly legitimate it's one of very few known okay so the big thing is what's it worth one of these sold very recently that brought a touch over a hundred thousand it's a little bit nicer than this but not too far apart I think this coin is worth something north of 50 but less than 100. okay thanks man super rare no problem okay thank you congratulations thank you all right there you go all right all right um I'll talk to you soon sounds good I'm quite excited that this is the real thing uh very few Specialists have had the chance to actually handle them but finding one of these especially walking into a pawn shop is really extraordinary I should have just gave you the 20 grand and I called him Dave uh I'm happier now I'll give you sixty five thousand dollars what about 90. I think 90 is fair you were willing to take 20 grand for it you weren't willing to offer me 20 grand for it I think 75 is better meet me in the middle at 80 and you got a deal it's a deal all right okay all right let's go up front I'll write you up I made 80 000 on the coin super excited about it definitely gonna keep playing poker uh hopefully I get another coin like this sometime hey how's it going good how you doing what do we got looks like something fancy it's uh very fancy oh wow well I mean it definitely looks French that's about my extent of knowledge on this thing let me grab my dad real quick sure pops you want to come take a look at this for me what do you got something's catching my eye on it I just don't exactly know what it is okay let's take a look oh this is really fancy I'm not really good at pronouncing French I'm not really good at pronouncing English laughs I'm here at the pawn shop to try and sell my bidet shotgun I got this shotgun from my father he was a collector of antique firearms I'm getting rid of it now because my wife is getting tired of seeing it just mounted on the wall it's rare it's beautiful and it's very very well kept it's really really nice bootay he started doing this right around 1800 ish he was like the Rembrandt of guns I mean before hutay there was the art and then there was the function and then this guy was like the first one to really combine the both of them you had to be really really wealthy to have a gun like this he was Napoleon's gunsmith yeah I think he was like an armor of Napoleon there was lots of these guns out there that were super inlaid and they're made for royalty but they really weren't that great of a gun because the Royals were probably never going to fire it anyway this is really fancy that is gold inlay or they would literally keep on pounding the gold into the steel till it's stuck this is a burled walnut hand checkered all these pieces down here are really high quality steel and high quality steel like this was really expensive to make I mean just everything about this is just like crazy quality and there's probably some other stuff about it I don't know should I give Alex a call well how much do you want for it because if he wants 50 bucks I'll just give that now A little it's not going for fifty dollars um I'm looking at 10 grand okay yeah give Alex a call I mean it's most likely worth at least that it could be more I just got a lot of questions on it and we'll go from there all right I'll call Alex they're bringing in an expert I think it's a really good idea because I'm guessing at what the value of this firearm is I'm hoping he will up the ante period what do you think holy moly can I pick it up please this is stunning so bootay was the gunsmith in France in the 18th century and in the beginning of the 19th century he was so good that he was the royal gunsmith to Louis XVI who was the final King before the Revolution and Not only was he his gunsmith but Napoleon made him his gunsmith so the guy had a long career as basically the finest gunsmith certainly in France but many people would argue in the world okay let me just see the so it's it's about probably a 50 or 60 caliber which doesn't really mean anything in shotgun terms but for people like today you would say this is about a 20 or 22 gauge it's muzzle loading it's Flintlock I'd like to just see the oh yeah so what I'm doing there is just making sure that this Springs are still good and they certainly are yep and so it's a double trigger so one trigger fires one [ __ ] the other fires the other so you see booties in some of the finest museums in the world there's a series of booties at the Met in New York they are all over Europe so basically what we may have here is a one-off piece by one of the best French gun makers of all time the best French gun maker of all time arguably the best gun maker in history okay um any idea what it's worth so simple booties will start easily about ten thousand dollars one like this on a scale of one to ten as far as decorative this is about a six so they get very very decorative the one thing I'd like to do is I'd like to test it if it fires how I believe it would I'd be more comfortable at valuing them do you mind meeting us out at the range with it so we can test it out sure and we'll meet you out there okay see you at the range let me grab a piece of paper I'll write down the address for you awesome I think my wife would get really mad if I came home and said I saw a really nice booty at work today hello boys hey come on so the booty looks all polished up and ready to go the booty is shiny yeah one of the things I have found in this direct sunlight is actually the barrels are also marked which so this Barrel is marked booty and then the other side it's marked manufactured in Versailles and it has a serial number 322 so that actually might be traceable which is really nice to see on the barrels all right that's an added bonus I brought some shot I've got some triple F black powder we're going to load about 50 grains which is a pretty light load for this but just to be safe with it and I set up some fruit targets let's do this this shotgun is like a piece of art typically I wouldn't fire this gun but collectors search for firearms like this and if it's successful I do think it'll help the value all right so I think I should shoot it I'll shoot it I have waited half of my life to shoot a boot day let me try it Alex is gonna shoot it okay all right here we go [Music] oh foreign there we go that was good so it fires it works yeah everything's perfect on it it function exactly as it should function and I'm not surprised because boote is the finest gun maker of all time what do you think it's worth I think if this went to auction in this condition I wouldn't be surprised to see it sell up for 30 000. damn that much it's really nice do you see the smile on my face [Laughter] very welcome and it was a pleasure Dennis thank you for letting me fired my pleasure all right see you guys good luck take care bud all right so you were asking 10 I'm assuming you want a little bit more now no I want a lot more all right 20. I think that's pretty fair often I'll give you 15 grand for it 18. okay I'll tell you what I'll give you 16 grand for it and normally I pay a little bit more but something like this I'm not going to see money back for a year or two and I'm gonna be on a level with you it's it's a lot more than I thought I would get we'll do 16. all right sweet all right all right um bring it back to the shop we'll do some paperwork and uh I'll get you paid so right now I want to find bote not that I haven't always had one it took you 50 something years to get one hey how's it going what do we have we have a pottery duck from Colima Mexico all right uh pops you know anything about ducks from Colima Mexico um a little bit um you liked rubber duckies when you're a kid filled the bathtub up with him he had a blast with him but he was like three foreign I'm at the pawn shop today to sit on my old Pottery duck I got the duck from an antique shop in Scottsdale Arizona and ever since then just weird things you know happening around the house and couldn't figure out what it was until everything started falling around the duck so that's why I'm looking to sell it I'm asking four thousand dollars for the duck because it looks pretty old I mean it does have magic powers I actually think it's kind of cool it looks old it looks like the pottery they made you know like a couple thousand years ago the indigenous people of Mexico were incredible artists when it came to Pottery Sammy what do you think it was used for were you supposed to drink out of it or something um it was probably something ceremonial they truly believe that the animals after you passed away they would guide you to the next World so that's why they did a lot of pottery with animals what religion is the Duncan probably an ancient religion that doesn't exist anymore ever since I've had it just some weird things have been happening around the house well what kind of weird stuff happens well things like fall off the shelves I hear weird noises I'm gonna go ahead and say it's probably not the duck's fault now the craftsmanship's amazing you can still see President Kiln burn marks and everything on the bottom so it went into a kiln like this and it came out with those beautiful finishes on it I mean if you looked at this from three or four feet away it looks like wood I mean that's how beautiful they did it I think it's kind of amazing how much are you looking to get out of this about four thousand um it's got me intrigued because it could be very very old but it's an incredible condition which is kind of scary because usually there's chipped and you know it's 2 000 years old like you know you have kids playing with it and everything any place you go in Mexico there's like you know counterfeit versions of stuff like this I'd like something to look at it if you don't mind I don't know can you give Bob a call I have a friend who will know a lot about this all right hang on I'll be back in a little bit okay I'm hoping the expert can value it to my asking price because I just I want to get rid of it what's up Bob how you doing hi there how are you that is quite the duck I can tell you a couple of things about it two thousand years ago they made animals to go into a tomb and they'd lay the body and they'd place these animals around all of the animals that they would put in the Tomb had a function they'd be companions they'd be spared guides but most of them were to be eaten in the afterlife a big fat duck like this was going to be somebody's dinner in the afterlife it would have only gone to somebody fairly important and this form very rare can I take a look at it yeah go right ahead one of the things that I'm noticing that's got the burnishing lines so they would use a stone and they would polish this extensively before it would go in the Kiln got nice manganese blooms but I see a repair here I see that there are repairs in the body they're almost invisible so whoever restored this they did a fabulous job so you think this is 100 real yeah 100 real 300 BC to 300 A.D ancient so what's it worth it's authentic it's old it's rare it's stunning eight thousand okay you're not gonna whip out like your X-ray machine or anything on it I don't need to it's good all the signs you want to see well Bob I appreciate you coming down my pleasure it's amazing to see anything that's 2 000 years old but it was in a tomb that has been protected from the elements and the ages so of all of the ancient cultures Kalima seemed to survive the best so you won four thousand for it okay I mean I give you four because it does take a long time to sell it foreign luckily I'm not superstitious I'll meet you up over there all right and he's going to pay her 100 bills Hi how are you I'm good how can I help you so I am trying to sell this leather biker jacket I'm thinking it's from either World War One or World War II I just don't really know much about it is your Harley parked out front oh yeah I'm at the pawn shop today to try to solve my vintage leather biker jacket that I believe is from either World War One or World War II I'm hoping to get a thousand dollars for this jacket especially since vintage clothing is coming back and the jacket is in such good condition if I make the sale today I'll probably say some of the money give some of it's my dad and maybe buy him a new record player the jacket's really cool so where did you get it I found this when I was cleaning out closets in my house my dad has always collected vintage leather jackets and this one was just in there well it's definitely a cool jacket all right let's take a look at it here um all right we definitely got leather it's showing some good age that leather would show as well it's got the word Mac on the front which maybe was a name it has the Airborne hatch on it with the Eagle right there then the other patch over here says Allied airborne's some writing on the back The Battered Bastards of the stone so I definitely do agree with you a wartime jacket probably from the 40s or whatnot but looking at the patches I don't think this would have been like a motorcycle jacket this looks like it would have been maybe like a pilot's jacket or something like that I have some concerns though I don't feel like the riding in the patches match up with the cut of the jacket looking at this jacket it's cut more in the style of a European jacket an American jacket would have come down more kind of more flat this is more typical of a European cut how much are you looking to get for it I was thinking a thousand I mean that's not out of the question honestly if it checks out I could probably give you more than a thousand for sure and still leave room to make some money but I have some questions about this jacket can I have someone come down and take a look at it they specialize in you know military memorabilia you have a little time to wait yeah for sure no problem since I'm gonna make a phone call and get someone down here okay no worries my main concern is that we don't know the history behind the jacket so it could be fake and not worth anything well here's Alex hi Alex nice to meet you he should know a lot more about this jacket than you or I okay perfect wow there's a bunch going on with this jacket The Battered Bastards of the stone that's referencing the Battle of the Bulge the 326th jumped at Normandy and uh the eagle is of the 101st Airborne Division if you're gonna have something from World War II that is referencing an American victory it's the stone or Normandy but this is both this jacket has some really cool history The Battered Bastards of Bast Stone so these guys were surrounded by the German troops very little ammunition very little food no winter clothing December and January 1944 and 45. the German Commander at the time sent a letter to the American Commander demanding their surrender or they were going to be annihilated and the American Commander just wrote one word back nuts from that point on the German troops retreated all the way to the final end of the war now you don't see anything like this often it's actually really classic German pilot leather jacket a lift off a pilot would have had this it's got that high crop so the way this would have come about is an American Soldier would have captured the German pilot and taken his jacket and then essentially he made this a Memento of the war so I know that these are faked often what are the steps we can take to figure out if this jacket was painted wartime all right so we start here and zoom in now you can see here on this A and B you see all that spidering of the paint and you see how the leather itself has little Peaks and valleys if it were newly painted you would see the paint inside all the little valleys and nooks and crannies and so I am completely sure that that paint is authentic to the World War II period how much is it worth it's a one-of-a-kind piece and it is fantastic I would not be surprised to see this thing sell at twelve thousand wow all right well thanks for coming down all right good luck thank you all right I'll give you a thousand bucks for it well now that we know it's worth a lot more than that what do you think about raising the price as cool as it is when you're talking about you know twelve thousand dollars it's gonna take a very special person to buy this I just don't think that it's a good fit for me right now put this in an auction you'll probably get the 12 000 maybe even more and you can come back and thank me later all right well I appreciate you thank you have a good day thank you I'm pleasantly surprised that the expert told me the jacket is worth twelve thousand dollars I hope to jack it up and sell it online what can I help you with I have a watch here okay apparently it's an old watch I hope so where did you get it a garage sale really cool watch do you want to be asking what you paid for twenty dollars I came into the pawn shop today to try to sell my antique pocket watch I'd like to sell it because I don't collect pocket watches if I get 500 if I get 800 I'll be happy anything works for me do you know much about it I don't know anything about it I just discovered it and it looked cool so uh well I can tell you a little bit about it um it's a uh William Ellery that's an American watch company that later became Waltham Watch Company Abe Lincoln actually carried a welcome watch wow this is absolutely amazing back here um Earl Butler hero saved my life at Cross Keys Robert M Scott that's um something good that is something good it's I'm assuming that's a Civil War the watch is probably 1870s 1880s pretty easy to date them first off it's a key wine and a key set by the 1890s they were almost all going to stem wines that would make it right around the right time period it has to be the Civil War you just increase the cool Factor by like 10 times okay because this actually belonged to a Civil War veteran okay okay that was given to that person by another civil war veteran okay who saved his life at Cross Keys which I'm assuming was a battle one of the greatest gifts you could give in the 19th century was a pocket watch imagine someone gave this to a friend who saved his life during the Civil War I have never seen anything like it do you know if it runs no it's wanting to work it's working that's positive right yes I mean the great thing about this watch is it's an amazing shape it works great the case is an amazing condition we have a porcelain dial on it that doesn't have one crack these things are notorious for cracking there's a huge market for civil war stuff and a pocket watch in this condition with engraving on the back could be worth a fortune collectors would line up out the door to buy this thing I mean this has got me really fascinated right here though I'd really like to find out who these people are these could be important people from the battle okay um I'd like to find out more about the Battle I have a buddy who knows just about everything there is to know about the Civil War there's something special here you might have a lot more money okay all right great I'll be right back thanks since he's calling in the expert that must mean something good I hope so anyway how you doing Mark how's it going doing all right the guys normally call me down here when they've got an historical artifact I have this watch here and the engraving says that it's from the Battle of Cross Keys Battle of Cross Keys was an interesting one this was early on in the Civil War and this was Stonewall Jackson one of the best known generals on the southern side and Cross Keys was one of the battles with Union forces and the Confederates had about 5 800 men in this battle the union side had over 11 000 men in this battle and the Union lost were you able to find out anything about those names or anything like that well there are a number of Robert M Scott's out there there are a number of Earl Butlers out there they don't show up in the historic record um individually that I could find I mean the watch is really cool I mean it seems like it's from the right time period and everything like that do you think it's legit okay do you mind if I take a closer look at it please okay oh yeah the time period would be probably the late 1880s so the name on it and the serial number both fit that's all good and if you were going to fake a piece like this you would pick a battle that everybody's heard of you know and be thanks for saving my life at Gettysburg or something and that the engraving is all hand done in looking at it I think that this is this appears to be correct to me I think it's a very nice memorial from the Civil War you know this is somebody in post-war years and said I want to say thank you hopefully that helps thanks man not a problem thank you very much what do you want for it two thousand I mean the two people on there are really not known so 700 bucks known 1800. if it didn't happen that engraving on it is literally worth four or five hundred bucks let me give you a thousand dollars for it come on you're gonna make a profit either way how about 15. I just don't know what I'm going to get out of it I'll go 1300 not a dime more 13 will work okay 1300. all right I'll meet you right up front over there all right thanks bought it for twenty dollars and I'm walking out with thirteen hundred dollars I'm ecstatic I couldn't be happier hey how's it going good I brought you some autograph Hollywood postcards from the 1950s we have uh Babe Ruth whoa great Gambino it's Bambino oh the collection is over 250 vintage Hollywood autographed postcards some of them are hard to read some have a really bad penmanship I am hoping to get 2500 for it today and I think I'll take around a thousand dollars let's start here where did you get them my great uncle was a grip in Hollywood in the 50s and he would have him sign them and then send them to my mom and she gave them to me okay um he must have done this for a long time a good while 1948 all the way up to 56. this is incredible we got John Wayne Lucille Ball I can understand it you know how we would be able to get him an actor is less likely to say no to an autograph if they have to work and see somebody every day it looks like most of them were personalized what was your mom's name uh Susan Susan okay so I'm a little more than others some are just you know two Susie or good luck or Best Western all right God who else do you have Elizabeth Taylor yeah Elizabeth Taylor um you know she was born with some disease where she was covered from head to toe with hair some people are just born with this luckily uh all hers fell out after a few weeks of being born but could you imagine if Elizabeth Taylor was the hairiest woman on the planet that's Dean Martin right there and the list just goes on and off Gary Cooper we have uh Jerry Lewis Jerry Lewis Vincent Price Lauren McCall it's been a while since something left me speechless what you have here is really really amazing I don't even know where to start normally I get someone bringing in a signature not this many at one time the thing with this collection is that there's so many of them I don't know if some all or none of these are real and if they are real I don't know if they're worth more than the others without knowing a bit more I don't know how to price this before we go any further how much do you want for them I was thinking 2500 from all of them okay um basically I need to make sure your uncle wasn't just trying to impress your mom every couple months by sending her one of these um understandable you mind if I call someone in to take a look he's probably one of the best signature experts you're going to get okay sounds great all right my man when it comes to celebrity autographs this guy might have a gold mine on his hands or it could be a huge pile of white lies from his uncle either way twenty five hundred dollars is a lot of money so I'll let Steve be the judge earlier a guy came in with a huge collection of celebrity signed postcards from the 1940s and 50s I'd never seen a collection quite like it so I called up my buddy Steve to come down and take a look hopefully he'll be able to tell me if they're legit and what they're worth oh that's like a pretty crazy assemblage here this guy has over 250 autographs from the 1940s and 50s wow uh so far it's everything from Babe Ruth to Marilyn Monroe it's pretty rare you see like a you know just a whole collection like this you know obviously this wasn't gotten overnight or whatever I mean it's just a massive stack tell me a little bit about the history my uncle was a uh a grip in Hollywood during this time and he would have them sign it to Susie or Susan my mother and then he would address to her in Brooklyn and send it to her and that went on for about eight ten years was it just sitting like in a shoe box packed away in a closet somewhere it was sitting in a shoe box for her as long as I can remember you took it out of the shoe box you put it in these containers and here we are today that's it um wow I mean I'm kind of Blown Away by all this just the fact that they all they're all dated yeah this makes it great I mean actually I think that's probably the the more cool thing the dates on each one that's pretty awesome I mean you could you could chart these things exactly to when they were signed it's okay if I have a look through some of this okay all right maybe you'll be able to recognize some of them you guys know where this is Jimmy Stewart that's Jimmy Stewart Liberty Valance yeah it's a wonderful life one of the most famous actors of all time do you guys know who that is Paul Newman we're talking about the dressing Paul Newman yeah the dressing uh the salsa but the great actor Paul Newman one of the toughest autographs to obtain in person there's no doubt that his uncle was pretty well liked on the set to be able to approach someone like Marilyn Monroe Babe Ruth I mean this guy must have been really popular whoa you guys know who that is Marlon Brando I mean this is about one of the strangest guys you're ever going to come across from one of the best actors of all time you know back in his later years I mean I'm talking like 80s 90s if you were lucky enough to approach this guy in the street and even ask for his autograph he used to give you a set of trivia questions you have to answer and if you answered one wrong didn't matter you wouldn't get zaragraph but if you got all five right he'd sign for you but with Marlon Brando when he signed especially later in life it was like instant gold I'm seeing some great names in here Susan Hayward Joe DiMaggio it's pretty amazing I just keep pulling more and more and more it's just an amazing assemblance and we're looking at a bunch of deceased celebrities stuff that you're not going to get signed anymore and the most important thing to collectors that's a vintage dated signature and that's a really big deal so Steve what do you think what do we got here um I think you've got a pretty phenomenal collection here if it all checks out you know I don't need the pro scope today I mean I could tell you know we've got real writing on this it's all different kinds of ink I want to be able to go through my examples figure out what's here figure out if anybody you know by any chance if there's a secretary signing for somebody that day okay but the bad thing is is I can't tell you right now you guys got time today is that all right I got you my man whatever you need if you want to borrow Chumley or the conference room whatever you need I know it's a lot to ask you mind no anyone guess okay right on all right you might want to grab some lunch or something because it's going to be a minute man okay how you doing doing good good so what do you think this stuff is all no good there's a big waste of my time to stand here and go through this stuff I mean that's the unfortunate part about it really no actually it's probably the best collections I've ever seen [Music] awesome yeah I can't tell you how rare this stuff is I don't know if you guys have ever heard of Elvis Presley but he's here too did you know that no Elvis Presley made an appearance in here um great example the guy's not an autographed guy he didn't get him in person so he really had no idea that someone like Elvis Presley was just sitting at the bottom of the stack that is incredible Frank Sinatra do you even know Frank Sinatra was in here no no say you're learning something new every day yeah for 1954 this is at basically the height of Frank Sinatra Babe Ruth the great Babe Ruth um this one I really enjoyed a lot dated May 3rd 1948. you know three months later Babe Ruth was dead the great thing about this roof signatures and ballpoint pen Babe Ruth had a heavy hand like to sign up fountain pen now I've had a chance to certify three thousand four thousand authentic Babe Ruth signatures in my time at PSA I've seen maybe 10 sign a ballpoint pen that's how rare they are wow well he came in here wanting 2500 bucks for all of them what do you think they're worth yeah that's that's pretty good um but an amazing collection when I look at the signatures in here it's pretty crazy we're talking Humphrey Bogart and I saw Boris Karloff Jerry Lewis Willie Mays I could just keep going on and on if you're looking at anywhere from about eight to twelve thousand dollars wow still in 2500. I really really appreciate it of course anytime Mac usually I am the guy who gives the bad news so today I gave some good news and it felt really good so we found out a lot my man what do you want for him now um started eight thousand then I'm gonna be really honest with you I'm gonna get a lot of money for these myself but it's going to take years and it's going to take money as great as it is to have Babe Ruth signature it's really hard to sell it on a postcard right in a stack it's going to have to be displayed put it in a frame I mean we're talking it's gonna cost me two to three hundred bucks for each one of these I sell you wanted 2500. I'll give you six grand you're gonna take six grand um yeah I think so that works I'm sure my mom will be really really surprised that we got six thousand dollars for it although I might keep it a secret hey can I help you hello um Yes actually I have this all right um are you a stamp collector I'm not but they do appear to be very valuable they're extremely old all right the stamp that lost us the American colonies stamp of 1765 issues in accordance with the Greenville Stamp Act in the attempt to tax the American colonies oh wow I think this is a stamp in relation to the Stamp Act too bad my boss isn't here because he would really want to nerd out on this right now I'm here to sell some old stamps that I have they're definitely unique I know they're not like the stamps that we use today that's for sure I'm asking 250 for the stamps I feel like they're worth some value because how old they are this is pretty cool I mean basically what the Stamp Act was is the British Parliament deciding that all British Citizens need to pay a paper tax whether they lived on this continent or in Britain so they imposed this Stamp Act of 1765 and if you lived on this continent at the time it was in America everyone was from England so you still had to pay that tax and this little stamp right here had to be on every single piece of paper if I remember correctly otherwise there was some type of legal consequence oh wow it says America on it too actually on here American colonies yeah we weren't quite America yet this is right before you know we fought the Revolutionary War to become free they're pretty interesting they almost look embossed they kind of look Royal you know it kind of looks like something the British Parliament would make it's these deep blue colors how much are you looking to get for it I'm thinking probably like 250 dollars Well normally I just go get my boss but he's not going to be back for a few hours if you have a few minutes to hang out though I can call my buddy and he knows the value of all this kind of stuff okay yeah got a couple minutes it could be worth a lot of money I'd like to hear what the expert has to say because I'm confident they're valuable but I'm not exactly sure how much I'm just taking a wild guess on this so this is what I called you about I thought it was pretty interesting but Rick wasn't around and I figured even if he was he'd call you down anyways he would love this yes you're right these are really really interesting this is something that a collector has put together who collected British Revenue stamps these ones up here are from the 1694 series which was for General use by the British however this one here Piers is a stamp issued by the British in line with the Stamp Act well the Stamp Act was a way for the British crown to raise money in the colonies in America remember they had just come out of fighting the French and Indian War they emerged Victorious but it was very expensive and they wanted to recoup some of that money so they came up with a stamp act which specifically targeted the Americas it mainly affected items on paper although it also affected dice I mean who knew no gambling without attack exactly I'll make sure it says America the British issued all sorts of Revenue stamps in 18th century if it says America we're in business yes it does yeah this one says America this is wonderful so this is an important stamp seems like there'd be a lot of these if you had to stamp it on every piece of paper you would think it was a relatively short-lived act it was introduced in 1765 and just a few months later repealed so there wasn't a lot of opportunity for their use what kind of value would you put on it uh well the basal value is about four or five hundred dollars if you're buying it in a Stamp Auction but this also has some other stamps I think to any advanced collector um it's easily a thousand dollar item okay well appreciate it all right all right congratulations thank you all right looks like someone's happy with what they heard yeah I had no idea I'm working with 1000 now how does that sound to you it sounds like a little too much to me would you take 450 450 that I think maybe if it was just these but what are you thinking well I don't want to sell them for half what they're worth so how about 650 you think you could do 600. I don't think so that's a little too low that's almost selling them for half what they're worth 250 to 650 huh um I could just take him back with me I really want to show them to my boss so I'm Gonna Make a Deal 650 650 all right uh meet me right up here at the counter I'll take these I'm leaving here with 650 for those stamps and that's more than I was looking for and that's awesome hey how's it going hey how are you they're big um damn so uh GI Joe defiant space vehicle launch complex and the aircraft carrier aircraft carrier they're cool actually God I wish I was a little kid again I'm not gonna lie I played with them last week the GI Joe toy is when I was a young kid they've been sitting in storage for about 20 years I'm selling the set for 1500. I go to London a lot and if I get the full fifteen hundred dollars I'm gonna purchase my ticket to London right away it's an amazing toy line these things were around for the early 60s they came out and um they were just non-stop I mean they were their Smash Hit the second they came out every boy wanted them you're a little bit younger than me but I remember when I was a kid GI Joe's were that big though right you just got the GI Joe and then maybe you got like the fins and the scuba set up they had nothing like this okay this is the 80s so it's basically the space shuttle it was a big thing in the 80s and um I mean it's an aircraft carrier I mean plain and simple every boy loves a giant aircraft carrier ship I mean you know it's uh I mean it's cool stuff this thing is seven and a half feet long yeah GI Joes came out in 1964 and they were a huge success but it wasn't until the 1980s where they started making these gigantic playsets I know there's a lot of GI Joe stuff that's very collectible I just don't know if these are so how much were you looking to get for them I'd like to get 1500 for the set for both okay and they're all there yeah all the pieces are there I'm 99.9 sure all the pieces are there yeah okay do you mind if I call up a friend of mine no she buys and sells antique toys and collector stuff absolutely give me a few minutes I'm gonna call my buddy get him down here okay I'm really excited about having a toy expert come in because I really want to know what it's worth what I have in my possession wow hey man what's up what's up hey I'm Marty hey guys nice to meet you we got the defiant and the flag sweet man all right so tell me about these things the 80s was a fascinating time to grow up I mean the cartoons had toy lines you had GI Joe yeah Transformers I mean you're watching it on Saturday morning cartoons and then these toys were on the shelves when you went to any store across the country you know they were amazing I mean all the playsets the vehicles they were about 1 18 scale so each figure fit in all of the carriers and tanks to begin with the flag and the Define are very expensive toys at the time uh not very many people got them and not very many people saved them I mean these were two of like the largest toys produced in the 80s and these are definitely the Holy Grail when it comes to the GI Joe line he wants 1500 for these things well looking at the condition of the boxes um I mean definitely a win-win on the condition of those the big part of the value is how complete it is there's always the little parts missing okay how are we gonna know if every piece is here I'm definitely have to open them and put them together for sure you're gonna have to you're going to play with it don't you you're gonna have to let me do that man so how much are they worth if they're all here because he says everything's here well if everything's here you could easily see in the four to five thousand dollar range wow I mean to any GI Joe collector I mean this is at the top of the list okay so you still want 1500 bucks for them you brought your guy in and he's telling me it's worth five grand now I mean I'll tell you what I'll give you 2500 for him uh can we do 38 I'll tell you what I'll give you three grand if they're all here that's the most I'll do all right that's the deal all right so if you guys can put them together and all the pieces are there we got a deal all right thank you all right I'll be back in a little bit man cool man which one do you want to start with let's go at it with the defiant first I'm a little nervous about uh not having all the pieces there I'm just hoping that I was a good boy and did what my mom told me and put my stuff back the way that I found it this thing is really cool though and it's actually comes all the way up isn't that awesome guys look like you're enjoying yourselves you know man [Music] this is what I do every day man play with toys great job thank God I never bought these for my kids dude I mean this is days and days of fun I mean you were everybody's best friend if you got any one of these toys I mean these are classic back then I mean these toys are massive I mean they'll never build toys like these again I mean the quality of them I mean the thought that went into it I mean the blueprints were so cool for these these vehicles I mean you have to build them you have these huge blueprints I mean you felt like you're a part of like the GI Joe Army you know what I mean the question is it all here oh overall figures are here instructions are here and luckily all the pieces are complete that's cool man so we got three thousand bucks we got 3 000 bucks I got this [Laughter] glad it was a GI going not a g I know um you can take this apart all right no problem I got you man let me give you some money man cool I'm absolutely blown away and I'm stoked I'm really excited now I get the plane ticket to London and a little side money maybe I'll go first class so what do we got here uh got this sword I want to sell you all right and there's a mark on it that might be Tiffany's Tiffany's okay it's not as good a shape as it was new I guarantee you Tiffany never put anything this ugly out now when I first saw the sword I thought it was so cool and I was quite surprised when somebody pointed me out the Maker's Mark on it fingers crossed that will bring in a lot of money and that it is actually a Tiffany sword all right uh where'd you get it I got it in Walla Walla Washington in a little antique shop I'm a commercial photographer so I used it as a prop and forgot about it for 10 years okay it looks like a Calvary Sword we used during the Civil War you can always tell by the handle and the shape and it's got all the normal wear you would expect on it you have no amateur Restorations here but I mean it's got a good you know patina to it it looks nice it's just the Tiffany thing is really really throwing me off I mean I've seen hundreds if not thousands of Civil War era Calvary swords and none of them said Tiffany on it I didn't know they were a sword maker um yeah I mean they'll make pretty much anything but if they did they were generally presentation pieces made of silver very very ornate very beautiful swords that you would never want to take into battle uh they're probably one of the most counterfeited jewelry companies in the world that's because most of their stuff is so nice hell even the Super Bowl trophy is made by Tiffany it's none of that question that a jewelry company would be asked to help aid in war efforts so this sword is made by Tiffany It's gotta be worth a pretty penny I'm just not sure how many what are you looking to get out of it my man a 500 check that's what I'd like um that doesn't seem out of the ballpark if it's made by Tiffany I just don't know I'd never seen anyone like it I'll tell you what man I got a sword guy that works for me let me see what he knows about this stuff and I'll grab him for you all right why don't you uh hang out and take a look around and he should be here in a few minutes okay fantastic no it's a Calvary Sword it looks like Civil War era but never seen Tiffany make one Tiffany for the fancy Army nothing but the best this is the model 1840 heavy Cavalry sword What's called the wrist breaker why is it called a wrist breaker the predecessor swords would bend and flex and the soldiers said they were good for cutting nothing but butter so when they designed the model 1840 they put a lot of extra Steel on the backside it made the sword a lot heavier and you're using that to just Lop heads off or whatever you're doing Lop head slash poke sometimes but as you're hacking and slashing through with all your arms momentum and the horse's momentum sometimes it snap your wrist giving it the nickname yield risk breaker sounds like a design flaw it was loved and hated but a lot of people don't realize that Tiffany did make swords for the Civil War the presentation sword which you would expect from Tiffany that we're all real pretty and you really didn't want to wear them into battle but they wanted officers to have really good functioning swords too so they outsourced the blades from a really high-end German company it's a PDL right here it's uh Paul D lunschlash okay and they made functional sorts for the officers I can tell you right now stamping Tiffany and Cohen something isn't that hard to do so question is is it definitely Tiffany absolutely the Tiffany Mark's almost gone on this side anything Tiffany is usually reproduced and faked out there so when you go over a piece of Tiffany you have to do a lot of detailed inspection to make sure that it is Tiffany and not a reproduction you know Tiffany's a little more sought after than your standard absolutely U.S swords one of the things Tiffany did instead of using a brass guard they would use an Iron Guard and yep that's definitely iron and not brass and then the PDL mark they did have a die that was broken and a lot of them do look like a lowercase R set of a big p so is it real man yeah it's real yes all right that's why I hired you if someone sells it in the shop it's going to be you what do you think you can get out of it this one you know it does have some issues here with the leather strap missing actually coming off in my hands and that would make it a little bit more valuable but 1500 excellent very good all right man well get back to work thanks the wristbreaker swords something every Civil War collector wants but to have one made by Tiffany that's like the highlight of anyone's collection is to show off their Tiffany sword all right so you said he wanted 500 for it yep but you brought the expert in [Laughter] yeah that doesn't always work out that well for me does it now you've just educated me let's go eight you know man I really don't have to have it you know it's you don't have one it's a Tiffany's you know I am gonna have to get it re-wrapped it's gonna have to be cleaned up a little bit we'll do 650. 675 you got a deal all right 675 man cool got it let's go ahead and find Rocco back there he'll write you up great thank you uh 675 now I have some money to go spend uh something for the girlfriend at Tiffany's hey what's up man how's it going what do we got old school Indian Motorcycle toolbox oh wow you might have to take a look at it yeah absolutely these are actually pretty cool man when you buy a car today you expect to have a car with a warranty and they're gonna take care of it and fix it every time yeah back in the day they give you a toolbox with it yeah I came to the pawn shop today to sell my old toolbox that used to be on the Indian Motorcycle I got this from my neighbor who was just throwing out old memorabilia from motorcycles and so I decided to grab it I believe it's from the 1930s I'm looking to get about 200 for this and anything's better than nothing you got something really cool here old Indians are awesome they were founded in the 1800s they were actually a bicycle company but in the early 1900s these guys were way ahead of the game as far as motorcycle Manufacturing in the 1920s they just basically blew up the market with the Indian Scout it was a really fast really cool bike I'm assuming this was the one that was mounted on the four cylinder between 36 and 39 when the Sports scout came out this was actually mounted on the swing arm because back then they expected you didn't know how to work on your motorcycle when you bought it but the cool thing is with Indian anything is collectible so any idea what you want to get out of it 200 bucks well it's your lucky day man I'm telling you right now you got something really kind of cool here and I know what I can get for it I can sell this for at least a thousand I'm kind of robbing if I only give you two let me let me give you for you okay with that how about a 700 you wanted two and I offered you more than you were asking how about 600 how about four five do you know how generous I'm being right now I'm giving you twice as much as you asked for when you came in here let me give you 400 bucks and we'll call it a day all right all right got double what I was asking for so I'm ecstatic now that I have 400 I'll tell my wife I got the 200 and keep 200.
