that everybody else eats all the junk food's gone and I'm willing to give everyone a healthy lunch hey Rick this cause you're whipped don't mean you have to take it out on the rest of us at my shop family comes first and money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars [Music] hey what do you have for me this time I got about your sign World Series Baseball all right and you got a certificate of authenticity here yes let me take a look at it real quick official Rawlings National League Baseball signed in ballpoint by 15 members of the Brooklyn Dodgers signers are Sandy Koufax Elmer Elmer Villa I didn't know he played with the Dodgers I am not going to try to pronounce his last name and remember man this is 1959 a little before my time [Laughter] I'm here to sell my 59 World Series signed Dodgers baseball there's 15 signatures on the ball I have Sandy kofast on Drysdale Don Newcombe all Hall of Famers I'd like to add four grand we'll go from there so how long have you had it um I'd say about 14 15 years okay um right off the bat Sandy Koufax in The Sweet Spot that's awesome right the guy was a really good pitcher I mean he was the youngest person ever elected into the Hall of Fame you know at the time you know him being Jewish and everything else I mean there's a lot of people that just didn't like him because of it I mean I think it was in the 1961 World Series he refused to pitch on the first game because it fell on Yom Kippur which really pissed some people off and you know got a lot of attention over it the Dodgers absolutely dominated baseball in the 1950s they won five nationally championships and two World Series if this ball signed by a championship team it could be worth some serious money so what are you looking to do with it I'll sell it what are you looking to get I'd like to get 3500 okay um got some questions with the ball the signatures are in ballpoint pen that's a kind of a big red flag there those weren't really around yet okay so assigned when maybe they had a get-together years later reunion or something maybe or no I did hear they had a couple reunions so it very well could have been done at a reunion okay um I just want to find out more about the ball and so let me uh let me have a buddy of mine come down and take a look at it okay go give them a call okay [Music] hey what do we got here I have a very old Tiffany clock it's Tiffany Company it is a Tiffany ah and it just goes to prove that time is money [Laughter] I came down to the pawn shop today to sell a Tiffany wall clock I know that it's quite rare and it's a one-of-a-kind piece because it has some pretty unique paintings on it I'd like to get Just Around 8 000 for it the least amount I'll take is about 4 000. this is really intriguing do you know much about it well I know a little bit about it um probably done around the 1800s I think is really unique about it this is that it has all these reverse paintings on it um so what I've been told is is that you know the artists had to actually paint it backwards in order for you to view it forwards okay this is called a banjo clock okay okay and um on federal Hawks this was like the most popular Motif this was the first um like major sea Battle during the war of 1812. oh wow okay do you mind if I look at this thing a little bit more no that's okay [Laughter] there's some writing on the inside but I don't know what that's from that is a clock Maker's repair they have this weird little script and everything like that so next time they work on it they know what they did oh okay but it looks like it was December of 1916 it was work done [Music] do you want to sell it yes I'm looking for 8 000. okay now um a few things it's not from the 1820s this is probably from right around 1900. these things retail for right on two thousand dollars okay the without Tiffany it's like a thousand dollars okay so I will give you like 1200 bucks and I would be more inclined around the four or five they just don't go for that I'd go 13. as it are we just too far apart I think we're too far apart all right have a nice day thank you you too I was really disappointed on how much they were going for I did learn a lot about it it was a great history lesson today a guy came in with a ball that he claims is signed by the 1959 Dodgers I have a couple of concerns about its authenticity so I called up Steve to come check it out [Music] okay since it's a 1959 Dodgers signed baseball well you know the great thing about the Dodgers they had all those great players in the 50s and then they left Brooklyn behind I mean they still brought a lot of guys out west with them but that move signaled the end of kind of that era and then you had guys like Sandy Koufax the great thing about Colfax from 55 through almost 60 Sandy koufax's numbers were pedestrian he had his great time from 61 to 66 but when you think of Brooklyn Dodgers everybody thinks of Sandy Koufax guy was such an amazing pitcher well the 1959 Dodgers were the World Series champion and it was really significant for them because it was their second year in LA and he had these players sitting at you know picnic benches in the clubhouse before games signing baseball after baseball after baseball it really became a big thing and collectors loved having them and what are your concerns you know the ballpoint pen always throws me off and when I'm dealing with signatures I just rather call you okay the first guy I want to look at Sandy Koufax I mean he's the main guy for those Dodger teams he kind of rolled off his letters as you could see here he had a great way of finishing it off with his ex that kind of dropped down um the next guy I'd like to look at and that's the great Don Drysdale the great thing about dries out I always look for a pinpoint to one thing is he dropped his s down in his last name and I keep looking at that and I look at those two things so what do you think you know after seeing the players I just pulled up here um there's no question the signatures are authentic okay great great okay the next thing I want to do I start looking at the Players Don Newcombe rube Walker there's that Roebuck on the bottom and Ken Layman that's kind of odd now that's that's one signature I have to pause at But Ken Layman was a guy that wasn't part of that 59 team it's not a 59 World Series ball if I had to guess probably like a 57 wall and unfortunately they didn't win a World Series okay value-wise what are we looking at um I'd put the value of this ball right around 450. I don't appreciate you coming in man good to see you thank you thanks man nice to see you again all right thanks take care the seller didn't like my appraisal the ball was signed at a reunion show does it have appeal yes but it's very limited um what are you thinking I'm thinking I'll give you 250 bucks no no that uh uh no you know where I'm at with it buddy are we even going to make a deal or are we just facing each other's time you asked me for 3 000 I'm telling you 250 I mean let's no um it's still a 750 baseball to me 750 baseball to you and it's not to me my man I appreciate you coming down to next time all right thanks with the ball now uh still in my possession I'm probably definitely going to hold on to it because I know it's going to just go up in value so it's a great ball to have I'll keep it all right guys here's your lunch I'm hungry go ahead what in the hell is this looks like a salad to me it's not chicken wings today boss I'm not bur rabbit Rick told me to bring you guys lunch and that's what he told me to buy that's not lunch I ain't eating that this is horrible this is cruel and unusual punishment he wants to take away my chicken wing I'll make damn sure I take away something from him something that's going to hurt him deeply what does that even mean uh I'll figure out something under brings to this operation you know that's a that's scary pure the brains of this operation what do we have here millimeter camera and it's made by bernst Maurer okay yeah we're gonna make a news reel or something laughs I came to the pawn shop today to sell my 16 millimeter camera I found it in the Attic of an old theater I'm having a baby and I want to sell it because I need lots of baby gear I would like to get 2 000 for the camera but I maybe will take a little bit lower this is really Uber Uber cool do you know anything about it I do know it's a burnt mower camera okay and the lens you know it's Bell and how they were really big on lenses back then rarely back then the camera maker make the lenses does a professional camera if you've ever seen the video of the Hindenburg it was probably done on a camera very similar to this to have professional looking news real footage and other things you needed this 16 millimeter and you had to pay for it probably pretty high tech for the day there's a lot of neat Innovations in this thing [Music] when this camera was built in the 1930s hundreds of man-hours went into building it this is precision Machining these were super high quality professional cameras and when these things retailed they went for some serious money there's some early cameras that go for a lot of money the thing is this particular brand I'm not real familiar with uh I'm assuming you want to sell this I do want to sell it and how much do you want for it I was thinking maybe 2 000. um one of the problems you have here is I don't see any stickers on it or anything um it's got you don't have the plug for it do you I don't this is one of the things that hurts me and I don't know I don't know if everything works and it's got a really Bizarro brand that's some weird stuff you have going on do you mind if I call somebody up I mean just try and figure out what I can get out of this thing okay yeah hang on a minute I'm gonna give him a call all right older movie cameras always go for good money but this particular one I'm not sure on the value but hopefully we can figure out a price because I'd love to have this in the shop long time no see what do we got I got commemorative Attica belt buckles all right let me take a look check those out from the Attica State Prison oh yeah for 50 years uh as a prison guard oh um no that was the birth date of the prison okay yeah exactly if you spent 50 years as a prison guard you hate your life I think you would actually I have five belt buckles and they're all in perfect condition I got the belt buckles from a ex-girlfriend I want to try to get around 750 for the lot but I think the least I would probably want to take is maybe 300 bucks this one's cool because the 50-year thing kind of a big deal there's basic human rights that weren't being followed in Attica it's 1971. a black guy and a white guy were practicing on a football team and they started like you know joking around and some guards decided to go over there and beat the hell out of them pretty much the entire prison just kind of went you have the state police come in and just start firing it was barbaric and wrong what the state police did they emptied 4 500 rounds into the prison guard yeah what are you looking to get out of them um 750. you know how you come in here and sell me stuff and you always come up with a price and I shoot you way lower yeah we're we're at 100 bucks 100 bucks yeah here's the issue I have with these these three are made by a company that just makes commemorative crap uh these two on the other hand were actually made for the guards all right what about uh 550. I'll give you 150. 150 these have significant history they do I'll go 175 that's the most I can do now all right only because I love you all right meet me over there all right champ all right uh 175 bucks that's great I think it's more Priceless that the girlfriend knows that it's out of the house [Music] a lady brought in what looks like a 1930s 16 millimeter movie camera there's not a lot of markings on it and I have a ton of questions so I called in my buddy Martin that deals an old Hollywood memorabilia to help me out this is a toy right made for you it's a beautiful 16 millimeter camera I mean it's got all these weird things going for it and I have no idea what it's worth I'm an Auctioneer we do Hollywood Rock and Roll and sports auctions I love stories to me that's what I collect you know people collect stuff I collect the stories and I always have great stories well it's in fantastic Condition it's a burnt and Maurer camera so it's Eric burnt and Johnny and Maura got together in 1934 they formed a partnership to build cameras this guy John Maher to me he was like the last part to the guitar okay he has 90 patents during his lifetime they are fantastic cameras it's also very very rare it's really neat but I don't know what it's worth it is it's a fantastic camera we don't know whether it works or not which kind of some impact but I think possibly it could be made to work burned tomorrow cameras are very rare as an Auctioneer I look at auction records to see what a similar camera sold in the past and the reality is that none of these have been brought to the market any of these that are around today are in museums such as Eastman house so that of course adds value at auction and we were to take this to auction we would put a conservative auction estimate of two to four thousand dollars and I think we should sell it in the range of four thousand dollars okay it's a good number yeah yeah all right well thanks man pleasure good luck thank you the camera is in great condition so this is something that you have it in on the Shelf in your living room you have it in your office and you're holding an asset that potentially will appreciate in years to come okay so I mean what's a special take for it I would like three thousand for it that's not going to happen Okay but you love it you want to take it I do like I said I I absolutely love this camera I think it's amazing and um how much do you love it well I I love it a lot but this is my problem I'd have to resell it okay I I don't know if everything works I'll give you 1400 bucks for it okay how about two thousand no 1500 as well ago because there's still a lot of questions and if everything in here is trashed I might get a thousand that's why I will go 1500 not a penny more because this is straight up gambling do this right here the roulette wheels laughs how about 1600. how about 15.50 okay fine we have a deal then okay great I'll meet you right over there and I'll write this up and you never have to carry it again as long as you live thank you thank you I made 15.50 and I'm going to buy a lot of diapers and baby things now hey guys what's up Pops where's my check jump I don't got your chair thank you paybacks are son you stole my chair no I'll put your chair in hostage situation really really you know I mean all I did was try and make everyone around here eat a little healthier taking away my chair has nothing to do with being healthy yeah it is you get up and you move around more and you won't sit on your keister all day and you'll be healthier good for you Grandpa fine eat whatever you want I'm done trying to help out around here well Grandpa thanks for standing up yeah well you don't get in the way of Brian Harrison and his chicken wings who in the world ever called you the brain's Harrison don't worry about it just go get me some chicken wings on this episode of Pawn Stars track player this is really iconic definitely brings back memories this is a charcoal drawing by Edward Hopper that kind of gave me chills if you had a stick man drawn by Edward Hopper it had to be worth a couple Grand you're not talking about a hundred thousand dollar artwork you're talking about potentially a million dollars of hard work at my shop family comes first and money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars [Music] what do we have here well this is a charcoal drawing by Edward Hopper in advance of doing a very famous oil painting called American village okay you're looking kind of suspicious well I mean someone walks in my store and says they have an Edward Hopper um it's more or less the equivalent of saying well I got myself a Renoir Edward Hopper is one of the most famous artists to be produced by the United States this drawing which is a pastel charcoal rendering looks to be a study in advance of this famous foil called American village I'm looking to get about a hundred thousand for it I think I'd be willing to go down to about fifty thousand where did you get it well it came to my family through the 1920s girlfriend of a friend of Edward Hoppers okay I know Edward Hopper was born 1880-ish right around there and he was definitely a late bloomer really didn't start to do well until he was well into his 30s early 40s right that's correct and once he took off he took off like crazy you can see works by him and you sort of know her by him very distinctive style oh yeah one of the reasons why is I mean if you look at a picture a lot of people say what looks like Picasso I mean you look at a van Gogh you immediately can see that's in the style of Van Gogh I mean you look at this it's in the style of Hopper and um but there's very few artists you can say that about Edward Hopper started painting in the early 1900s and he's considered one of the greatest American painters we have ever had today his artwork is so desired he has pieces that go for millions and tens of millions of dollars there is a huge opportunity here for when there's opportunity there's always the flip side which is risk and I have my fair share of concerns it's a weird piece you have here I mean it really is I mean there's some damage to it it's a study so there was never meant to be hung on a wall I mean you know artists would take they would do studies they'd make multiple drawings or something and then once they think they got it figured out they'd use that for its model and then don't they still carry value because they did oh yeah well yeah but if you had a stick man drawn by Edward Hopper right it had to be worth a couple Grand so how much were you looking to get out of it well I had it appraised in New York at a hundred thousand dollars so that's the number I'm looking at all right I mean if it's real it's really really cool and it looks to the right time frame it looks like definitely looks like his style but it's not signed uh that's correct do you have any documentation I mean it's just you know the family Providence you might have someone look at it no by all means I would expect you would want somebody looking at it hang out for a few minutes all right okay I don't think there's any way that uh I can successfully sell this piece without uh getting an expert to say in their uh opinion that that is the you know the real deal what do we have here I think I have a comic book that might be interesting to you it's a Superman versus Muhammad Ali it was originally published in 1978. so you don't look that old words you're getting my wife had got this for me on our wedding day and then I realized I said wait a second I already have this comic book so you're such a comic book collector yes you've had two of these now and you actually talk someone into marrying you okay came to the porn shop today to sell my Muhammad Ali versus Superman comic book my father also was in the comic books so when I was a little kid you used to hand me down a number of comic books and it was something we did together I'm hoping to get 300 because the comic book is in very good to near mint condition Muhammad Ali for as great of a fire ordering was he was never that great with money so he might have needed some money at the time right and kind of deal with him yeah because I remember Superman actually was pitted with JFK Bob hopes there was a list of characters that they actually included they would do that stuff all the time it was just a fun little novelty during the 70s there was a trend to have real life celebrities against superheroes in comic books but a big name boxer like Ali really caught the attention of comic book fans and sports fans so who do we got on the cover here we got a that's Jimmy Carter Batman showed up wearing his mask comic book companies had a lot of success in the 60s and 70s putting celebrities on the cover now they make most of their money selling movies pretty crazy Marvel was valued at about 3 million in the late 90s and now it's uh worth about three billion or something like that so what do you want to do with it man you're looking to pawn it sell it uh I want to sell it okay you know more about these than I do what do you think it's worth so my other one I actually got graded and they said it was somewhere between six to seven hundred dollars okay now I know this one isn't as in good of a condition so I'm guessing maybe around three hundred dollars all right I guarantee there's a collector's Market out there for this but I'm not a comic book expert by any means you mind if I have a buddy of mine come down and take a look at it he'll know a thousand times more than I do all right sounds good so let me give him a call and uh see if I can get him down here and take a look around I'll be back okay I do know a lot about comic books but I would definitely welcome anybody else's opinion about this hopefully whoever they bring in to look at this comic book the price these states is not below the belt similar to Muhammad Ali punch [Music] thank you [Music] a guy came to the shop and he's got what he claims is an original Edward Hopper done in charcoal so I called in Brett to see if this guy actually has the Holy Grail you know I have to say when you when you called me and told me you had an Edward Hopper here that that kind of gave me chills so how did you obtain it came to my mother from a dear close friend who was dating a very famous artist in his own right arshil Gorky oh sure and Gorky and Hopper and Rafael soya ran together in the village around that time she had just been given it by Gorky you know while they were dating just before she died Lillian who was the the girlfriend said she wanted my mother to have this oh that's great Rick called me in and he told me he had an Edward Hopper in the shop I couldn't get down here fast enough Edward Hopper is an artist you don't typically see outside of museums so to see it in a Las Vegas pawn shop is amazing when you see a hopper you know it's a hopper he was renowned for doing these real atmospheric architecture scenes but he would make them very isolated and almost kind of lonely and that was I think quintessential at the time I think people you know they were they were just getting used to these big Urban sprawls developing and the industrialization of all these major metropolitan cities and people went from being part of the communities and families and everything to being kind of cogs in this big machine and I would imagine a lot of people kind of felt isolated so that's why I think his work resonates everything that you would kind of expect to see in one of his works is here he doesn't you know over emphasize cover it's all about Shadow and form and I mean I think it looks correct I mean would you put your stamp on it that it's a hopper you know if everything you say about this piece is true you're not talking about a hundred thousand dollar artwork you're talking about potentially a million dollars no hard work is that right yes I mean your story seems very plausible I mean it really does but without the signature and without any more to go on I wouldn't feel comfortable saying it's worth a million dollars so I think it looks pretty good but it's a Gamble okay thanks man I wish I could be more definitive I think you've got a neat piece here though that's for sure as an Art Expert I'd love to be able to put my stamp on it and say yes this is 100 authentic but a lot of this gentleman's story couldn't be corroborated so unfortunately can't put my full stamp of approval on it I mean what you have here is something exceptional I mean I think from everything I know about them it looks perfect to me but I'm not going to make an offer if I can't I have to resell it and when I resell it it's my reputation on the line I'm not shocked to hear that your eyes tell you it's a hopper I understand that there are some challenges to it but you know I appreciate your taking the time to take a look at it I hate to see it leave my shop they don't walk in here every day do they you know I spend millions of dollars every year in the shop and maybe once a year I go ah this is off very good thank you it's really exciting this piece could command a million dollars so I look forward to what the next steps may be and hopefully a successful resolution with a sale Gold Silver Pawn Shop hello did you screw up the phone no it rings there's nobody there maybe the person on the other line just has a bad signal maybe they're driving it's on their cell phone or something well no I mean it's not like one person it's happening every three or four minutes the phone rings and I don't know the phones were perfectly fine yesterday well they're not fine today so please whoever we use for the phones call them up and fix it yeah except there's only one problem Rick there's only eight hours in my work day can I have 12 hours worth of stuff to do already I didn't ask Judy to call just do it all right [Music] Gold Silver Pawn Shop hello [Music] Gold Silver Pawn Shop world famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop how can I help you hello charm where's the repair guy a guy came in with a Superman versus Muhammad Ali comic book from the 1970s I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find a buyer I'm just not sure how rare it is or how much it will be worth so I've asked Johnny to come down and check it out so here we go man Superman versus Muhammad Ali that's one of my personal favorites man that's awesome I mean you got Muhammad Ali bigger than life at the time and then Superman of course and then this is one of the oversized books so 250 and that was quite a bit for a comic book back then Comics were huge in the 70s and Superman comics are a huge demand just recently there was a Superman comic that sold for over three million dollars the storyline was incredible it brought some Humanity to Superman in the comic he loses the fight and they're carrying him out in a Stretcher which if you're a Superman reader I mean you don't see that kind of stuff this cover here was done by Neil Adams and he did such an awesome job on this one here but look at all the faces in here look at Jackson 5 right there you have Cher you have Martin Luther King even I think Stevie Wonder is on the cover oh really they did the drawing and then they got the permission from a lot of actors and the ones they didn't get permission from they put like mustaches on them [Music] all right Johnny so now that you've nerded out on me what do you think is actually worth well you have a lot of Superman guys will go nuts for this and then you got a lot of sports guys okay I mean to see Muhammad Ali and Superman any guy in the world want to put that in their man cave or in their room somewhere and all your pages are there condition of it looks great I'm gonna say good to very good condition okay I'd see no problem if you had this in your shop pulling 150 175. okay well Johnny my man appreciate you coming down I'm fine thank you sir thank you again if Corey's able to buy this Comic-Con no problem moving it because there's a big market for Superman comics there's a lot of people who collect sports memorabilia who would go after this being you got Muhammad Ali and Superman bigger than life are you winning 300 but I got to go with him man I'll give you 100 bucks for it um I think it's a little low only because I mean it's not just Superman you also have Muhammad Ali two very well-known figures um Superman's actually doing a movie very soon with Batman I think this would move very fast um would you do 225 let me explain to somebody I'm a pawn shop I'm not a comic bookstore you know uh you might be in the wrong place trying to sell it I'll give you 100 bucks for it um could you do 135 135 foreign I feel pretty good I'll probably take my wife out to a nice dinner and then probably lose all of the gambling either one whatever comes first [Music] Chuck did you call the phone company are you the phone guys to fix the phone what's going on there's a problem with the phone downstairs 20 times it is Rag and no one's there I don't know if it's the phones I'm pretty sure it's the 1980s and they want to give you your hair back I just want someone to check out the phones okay every time I pick up the phone no one's there and it's driving me crazy I haven't had one problem with the phones today are you okay no Chumley have the phone people down here today to check out the phones who knew silence would have gotten so mad I heard that apparently it's the first thing he's heard all day [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] is that what I think it is do you have an eight-track player yeah stereo Pioneer eight-track player one of the deluxe at the time and I've got 85 tapes in here it's everything from the Mellow Barry Manilow up to Hard Rock You Know door Steppenwolf where did you get this I bought it back in the early 70s that was a die hard I held on to these until 1991. married my high school sweetheart and she was saying box them up or me and I chose her I kept out of the pawn shop to sell my eight-track tape collection and my eight-track tape player started buying them in the early 70s up until eight tracks went out in the early 80s it's got the capability to record the capability to fast forward which a lot of them didn't have that a lot of them in that day you just stuck the tape in and you had to let it play through to the next song I absolutely love this never before this did you have portable music besides radio I mean you couldn't take your music with you it was just so cool I mean you could suddenly cruise around and bump to your favorite Tunes you know instead of waiting for something to come on the radio it was a big deal because before this in the early 70s your only two choices was super low quality cassette tapes or a giant reel to reel yeah and for the normal consumer this was an amazing upgrade to both those so you were damn cool if you had an eight-track player and they were wildly wildly popular eventually the cassette tapes got better and by the late 70s they were better than the eight tracks but it was still such a great innovation I actually had an eight-track player back in the late 70s and I used to listen to tapes on it all the time this was way before digital downloads this was before the CD this was even way before the Walkman got to watch this for myself does it it works yes how do you turn this on to turn this on you just plug a tape in okay okay doesn't that bring back memories yeah jumping jumping in the car putting that in cruising down the road [Music] definitely brings back memories it really made my week how much do you want for it I'm looking at around 800 for everything 85 tapes the the player everything oh it sounds all good on paper until you pay someone to list online 85 tapes and track it all and ship them I'll give you 300 bucks anyway you can go 400 on it 330 bucks because your wife's not gonna let you bring it home okay let's do 3 30. sounds like a deal man just meet me up front and I'll write you up okay I hope the person that looks at these in the pawn shop or wants to buy it buys it as a full collection and also will appreciate them and they'll be out and displayed they just deserve better than to be in a box in a basement there you go pops thanks huh Gold Silver Pawn Shop gold serve hello [Music] another blank call no I can hear myself talking so are you calling the shop no [Music] here's your phone when did you get a smartphone what I just got one you got to be kidding me you've called the pawn shop 27 times today no I

your average guy's sword right there that was an expensive expensive sword family comes first and money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars [Music] what do we have here I've got something I think you'll find very unique okay these are two swords that my dad acquired from Germany during the second world war cool these look like late 1800s and when you lost a battle back then the customary thing to do was for the captain to take his sword and present it to the winning General but they would never give their good sword they would take their cheap sword my dad brought these home as War prizes the two swords are in excellent condition they haven't been played with like a lot of World War II armaments might have been played with I'm hoping to get twenty thousand dollars for both swords I won't take any less than 15. whoa that is fancy up until the second half of the 1800s you didn't really get that many medals the thing that distinguished you was your sword if you're in a really big battle and you really showed yourself in that battle the Navy or the Army would have bought you a very expensive sword this one's a little weird it could be polish it could be Swedish this is laid out gold that was just not your average guy's sword right there that was an expensive expensive sword during World War One and World War II American troops brought back tons of 18th and 19th century swords to the US these two swords are the coolest thing I've seen as far as swords go in a long time so I'm thinking there's something special here and if it is it'd be great for my shop so you want to sell them I'd like to sell them yes did you have an idea what you wanted I'm hoping to get twenty thousand dollars okay um what really determines the value on something like this is whose sword was it I mean if it's high ranking general sword it's worth a lot of money let me have my buddy take a look at it when it comes to things like this he's uh literally the smartest guy I know all right come back in a couple hours perfect thank you I'm glad he's going to call in an expert to look at these if you know somebody that can determine what these things are worth and their value and maybe some history on it I think that's great hey what's up man I got something I think you're really gonna like here okay this is uh Douglas Air review January 1946. the interesting thing about this though is this girl right here that's Norma Jean Baker wow this is uh before Marilyn Monroe kind of got a little scandalous age I got the magazine from my dad when he passed away when I first saw the magazine I had no idea who was in the front of it but I'm hoping to get two thousand dollars for it I think Marilyn Monroe is very attractive but Norma Jean Baker kind of gets to my heart this is interesting what is Douglas airview this was just like a periodical that they would give out to the employees on a regular basis and this particular one just happened to end up having somebody on it that turned out to be pretty famous that's pretty funny actually if you open it up and look inside they show Maryland showing inside of a dc-6 do you have Marilyn Monroe modeling a bunk bed in a plane and a bathroom and a plane which is uh not typically what she'd be endorsing but it's kind of interesting to see it in the mid 40s Marilyn Monroe was just starting her modeling career I mean her name wasn't even Marilyn Monroe when this magazine was published even though this is in pretty real shape it could be worth a lot there's always Maryland collectors out there that would love to have a piece like this so what are you looking to do with it man I'd like to sell it any idea what you're looking to get out of it um I'm thinking about two thousand dollars you gotta remember this isn't an unknown thing and excellent shape these magazines are selling for twenty one hundred dollars but this is in such poor shape what's your bottom offer uh it's not even bottom offer last offer only offer period is going to be a 400 bucks [Music] can you go five nope meet you halfway 450. nope 400 bucks man it's uh it's a hell of a deal okay all right so meet me over there I'll write you up I feel pretty good about the 400 that was my bottom line maybe next time I'll come in with a first ever Playboy cover of Marilyn Monroe and see how that gets them going [Music] [Music] foreign I got a call from a guy today and he's got a 1951 Willy's wagon it's something I've been looking for for myself so I flew right over here what up homeboy hey how's it going pretty good how you doing so this is it huh yeah that's what I called you about my 51 Willys wagon damn where'd you get this thing I got it from a guy lived out in Henderson spent half his life rebuild it and his wife hated it when he was done with it 51 Willie's wagon was the soccer mom's vehicle back then in the day two-wheel drive you get 10 kids in the back if you take them anywhere you wanted to go it's an all-around general purpose vehicle I'm trying to get 11 000 out of it the least I could go would probably be nine these things are really really cool Willies was a neat company most people don't realize I mean this was one of the biggest car companies out there there was years where Willie's sold more than Chevrolet Willie's had a style all of its own they were a really totalitarian car what they sold was super rugged you don't want your off-road car looking like a Corvette all right it was one of the few actual Vehicles you could buy in four-wheel drive you know in the 1950s there wasn't nearly as many paved roads and there's a lot of places where you needed four-wheel drive all the time right most people today have not heard of Willy's Overland that was the company that invented the Jeep for World War II there's not a real big market for these cars but there are certain weird guys out there in the world who want them like me in the 50s this was a pretty hot item this was a very popular car yeah I mean in the early 50s I know they were selling over 100 000 of these a year can I see the motor sure is that the original motor app yes sir [Applause] yeah that great 1940s technology [Laughter] pretty much it's a four-cylinder half flat head half overhead valve the intake valve is in the head and the exhaust valve is in the engine block this thing put out like uh what like 70 horsepower well this one only puts out 44 horsepower okay up until the early 50s gasoline the kind you bought at the pump was still 20 octane you know 44 horsepower doesn't sound like a lot but to get 44 horsepower out of a small four-cylinder motor was an engineering trick when you had 20 octane gasoline I'm looking at this car and mechanically it looks amazing my big problem though is this paint and body it's tough so how much do you want for it eleven thousand there's a lot of neat things about this car you got the original Grill you got the original motor I mean I love that the fact the motor is so clean but you got some issues with this car the body and paint sucks whoever painted this into the Bodywork had no idea what they're doing you mind if I call my bunny ham come down take a look at it not at all right give me a few minutes I just run in my truck give me a call okay um I'm intrigued I'll give you that all right I don't have a problem with an expert coming in I know it'll stand up to anything they want to throw at it it runs perfect I drive it all the time you guys seen Rick no I'm saying Rick he told me to bring this watch out to him well I haven't seen Rick all day long normally if he's got something going on he lets us know maybe he's not getting her books family did you check the rest of the pawn shop yes obviously he isn't here who gives us where Rick's at let's just have a relaxing day without it here here as a matter of fact I got work to do I'm gonna take a 10 minute break real quick you're going to take a 10 minute break I'm gonna break your ass I'm looking at a 1951 Willy's Overland wagon whoever painted this and did the body work had no idea what they were doing so I'm calling in Bill Adam help me out with this one we have a 1951 Willys you sure do these things were pretty cool they were high production car about 300 000 of them Stateside and production on these things and the cool thing about them is they designed this model to compete with like the Woody wagons so they decided to do this to make it look like a woody but they touted as being safer since it was all Steel okay this thing got the the original motor yes sir fire breathing four-cylinder yeah so can you fire it up sure let's hear how she sounds healthy healthy that's great let's take this dude for a ride mind if we drive it I don't know okay we don't come back with this you can take my truck okay the wheelie wagon's kind of a cool ride they were really mass produced to be a new station wagon but it was kind of a universal vehicle where you could use it for everything from getting groceries to going hunting well it drives like a it's like a 1951 Willys yep I think their arms are too short to shift our ship's actually nice Craig is all over the place it needs this steering box rebuilt yeah she seems a little shaky you know what I mean it's a cool car though I mean I like it this is not what you would call smooth thriving not real fast not a lot of power but it felt like it was built tough I mean it drives great we're here we made it so what do you think well your biggest steak to eat when restoring a car is usually paint and body work that's your most expensive ticket there and this thing looked like it was painted with a fingernail brush so I'm going to say the car as it is right here about seven thousand bucks all right thanks Bill all right appreciate it you got it hey good meeting you hey good to meet you have a good day what's your best price on it 10 grand I got to tell you this is one of the worst paint jobs I've ever seen well why don't you make me an offer I'd offer you five grand for it no it's not enough if you change your mind give me a call dude I mean I wish we could do business but it's it's paint and body all right have a good man all right have a good day I'm not disappointed I couldn't make a deal to that I know somebody will step up and pay what I want for it what do we got here I have this old antique Radio receiver it was made in 1923 by DeForest it's model d7a sure this isn't some kind of electronic dream catcher it's an antique Radio receiver that you would use in your home I'm hoping to get 2000 for this radio but I am willing to go as low as 1500. I could imagine living in town with no radio and I imagine it would be a more peaceful time this is really something I've never seen before DeForest was a company that wanted to broadcast a little bit more of the music and stuff like that they wanted a lectures church services more stuff for the masses the thing that make these really cool is that they found a way to actually make very clear broadcasts you know before these radio was pretty fuzzy but because of this the president could give speeches over the radio this may be one of the weirdest radios I've ever seen it's definitely a cool piece of history and in some pretty good shape but I'm just not sure if there's a market out there for Old Tube radios like this so what do you know about this thing it's all in the original shape original tubes original coil antenna manual and the headphones okay so uh tell me man what are you looking to get out of it I was thinking 2000. but he had two thousand bucks there's no way you're looking at 100 bucks you're gonna give me a ridiculous number of two thousand I'm gonna give you a ridiculous number at 100 bucks okay well how about 1500 absolutely not bottom line man you got a 400 radio here [Music] yeah I can't sell for 400. all right my man well I appreciate you coming down and if you ever decide to bring it back I'll be here all right all right be careful thank you well obviously this guy didn't want my radio but I'm gonna keep this radio for now I'm gonna possibly get it tested for functionality and sell it for way more [Music] [Music] earlier today a guy brought in some really cool looking European swords these are really cool I would love to have them but I have some big questions where are they from and possibly even who owned them so I brought in the master the great beard of knowledge to check them out [Laughter] yeah it's good to see you so these are the swords yes um this one I just want to know where it's from okay okay and this one I wonder if it was given to anybody special all right this one is actually German it's an Imperial Eagle with the with the crown on it it looks like a lieutenant sword it's not that fancy no it isn't but it's in very nice shape this one however is very nice do you mind if I take a closer look oh okay it's cross swords on this side that means it's a Cavalry piece is its separation it's retirement it's a retirement sword for Oberst Von vinterfeld it was given to him when he retired from the unit in 1897. an old burst is a commander Colonel a light Colonel now they're a little higher than that probably a brigadier general something in that range but you have a couple of very nice swords here and very good examples of the sword Maker's art you're the best man not a problem well you were right he knows everything the smartest guy I know these types of presentation swords are quite collectible but it always revolves around how fancy they are who made them who were they presented to and from whom will collect things like this um it's very rare someone has twenty thousand dollars another sword because when you stole me that price I was thinking maybe this belonged to someone very special or a very rare sword maker and it's neither so a sword like this generally goes for like 1500 bucks really this thing was very expensive when it was made and fifteen hundred dollars for a European sword is a lot of money so this one I would give you like 100 bucks for this is sort of plain it's a it's a German one this one I would give you a thousand dollars for I appreciate the offer I think I'm gonna take them home okay thanks for the information appreciate no problem the thousand dollar offer was very surprising to me I understand it's a business he has to make money too but there's just no way I would ever sell that for a thousand dollars what are you doing chumway oh just posted a picture of you online or whatever John get on my chair Mr slacker what do you mean slacker what you've been doing all day huh working I was out for a while but I've been around we've been looking for you all day dude oh really I left voicemail you left a voice who leaves voicemails first off I've been out working and trying to make money for this company unlike you guys you could have at least thrown me a courtesy text dude you're old you could have been dead somewhere we should check the voicemails because some customers leave voicemails I'm part owner dude I don't check voicemails this is what I'm talking about we have a voicemail system here it's supposed to be checked every day multiple times a day and you guys don't do it we got a voicemail system here at the store please tell me you're kidding me right now I'm just saying I did not receive it okay it was five days ago I ordered this why don't I not have my books all right I will call you back in 10 minutes I will check all right bye once you just download your books like everyone else I'm having a hard time transitioning to digital books all right we'll calm down there Rick what'd you complaining about now oh I ordered some books and the company I got them from says they were signed for and delivered a couple days ago let's tune Donald Duck no it's addressed to me why don't you go ask Antoine he's the one that typically gets the packages when they come in I will ask Antoine again it's just irritating what's irritating is listening to you family comes first money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars [Music] how you doing pretty good brought you another very exciting book okay The Wizard of Oz first edition you mean the wonderful Wizard of Oz well that depends on what price you pay for it so I bought the book from a family that had it for over 100 years this book is also one of the first copies ever printed before it became a phenomenal success I travel pretty far and wide looking for interesting libraries and rare books and occasionally I find some really interesting let's see what you got this is actually not only a first edition of the book but this is actually a sign first edition that is definitely cool besides maybe Alice in Wonderland there was never really any books like this it also it's a nice tale it wasn't as scary as some of the tales that had come before the children read at the time was Grimm's Fairy Tales and things like that when most people hear Wizard of Oz the first thing that comes to mind is the 1939 film but it was this book that started it all just about everybody has a memory of watching The Wizard of Oz and that's one of the reasons this book is so valuable it brings back memories even a scarecrow without a brain can figure that one out [Laughter] you can see on the first title page they have the famous Tin Man the Scarecrow which are not so far off from the film adaptations of them I love that they're color illustrations though but my problem is it's in a little rough shape I'll tell you that all right um so how much you want for it I was thinking there was something on the order of ten thousand dollars all right it is really rough shape it even looks like it has some water damage on it there are obviously some condition issues like you said but I do think this is one of the earliest copies of the book and also it is signed by the author and I think that really adds to its Rarity let me get Rebecca down here so we can figure out what this thing is worth hang on a minute I'm gonna give her a call perfect thanks so much a first edition Wizard of Oz can sell for tens of thousands of dollars and the fact that it's signed means so much more but condition is everything so I'm not going to get excited until Rebecca has a look what do you got here I have an original He-Man still in the box oh sweet check this out Rick what is that jump He-Man Masters of the Universe He-Man was a pretty badass dude and he wasn't real he was real buff look at him I have a original He-Man that was never opened I never took it out of the box because I already had another Eggman action figure I'm asking for a thousand dollars if this guy's a big of a he-man fan as I am I think I'll get a lot of money for it this is awesome I know all about these action figures Mattel launched them in the early 80s and I had all of them I mean I had a little castle and everything okay do you still collect these or no no I have all my old toys when I was a kid um but this is the only one that's unopened so it's the only one that really has any value what I can tell you about it is is it's What's called the eight back so when you turn it over there's eight toys that are advertised on there it's the rare of all the ones they have what are called the 12 backs which aren't as rare okay so how much do you want for it thousand dollars I know some old toys can be worth money but um I'm gonna go give Johnny a call you to call Johnny Rick thinks he knows everything but I know all about He-Man so he's just got to step aside and let me handle the negotiating this is a really good toy it's got a few condition issues but we can easily get 600 maybe even 700 for it and how would you know that check the prices every once in a while let me negotiate here Rick [Music] you know what if you know about it you know about it can you give me a better price than that something I could work with I know enough about the toy to know it's pretty valuable and people our age want them now so I'll come down the 650 final offer if we're gonna make a deal it's gonna have to be at 500. my uh my bomb's gonna be 650. can't do it well thanks for being in man I enjoyed talking about He-Man okay all right see you later man thank you uh I think he had a decent idea of what the item was worth but because of the Rarity of it I think it's worth a little bit more I hope you learned something today Rick [Music] thank you one of my regulars came in with a sign first edition of the classic the wonderful Wizard of Oz I know these books can go for a lot of money but this book has seen as better days so I'm calling in Rebecca to help me figure out a value all right let's take a look Wizard of Oz first edition it's a little rough yeah children's books get a lot more wear because kids are always handling them were all copies like color pages and everything like that yes uh this book The illustrations were very very important it was very very visual about them had a background in stage and musicals and he very much visualized this as something meant for this stage this book tapped into something in the American Consciousness it's such an American book and this was in a stage when there weren't many books like that when you were looking at Great children's books you were looking at London Publications like Alice in Wonderland and this is one of the very early American fairy tales all right I think I can guess but tell me what your concerns are uh am I going to be able to sell it in that bad a shape I should tell you by the way I had it restored yeah I can see if that's restored I'd hate to see how it was when you first got it you can see this was put together with tape that was not archival it was very very acidic and it's left all these Marks here well this is a very special copy actually if you opener that's been signed by the author that's unexpected you don't often see this book with a signature it's kind of exciting to have it and it's the earliest state it means that it was probably owned by someone very close to bound that's that's cool yes so in this kind of shape what do you think it would sell for there will be people who want it however given the shape that it's in people are going to lowball you the only way you're going to realize something is if it gets cleaned up more with restoration and that can get really expensive too oh I know that like thousands should the restoration go well I could see that this copy restored fetching up to 30 000. that's okay seemingly better thanks you're welcome Rick yeah he left us with a puzzle thanks Adam this one was really hard for me because the signature is great but the book was just dismal and it really kind of breaks my heart to see how neglected this book was over the past hundred years okay um I just don't know what to say it's a project for you if you want to I mean I I think I've had three and four-year projects with books and um sometimes they work out sometimes they don't you know I don't mean to beat you up but I'd risk three grand on it I wouldn't risk no more and I know it doesn't sound like a lot of money but it's it's going to turn into a two-year project for me that's the finest end I honestly have more than that in it I mean and the restoration was very expensive I did so far I mean the absolute Bottom Dollar number is going to be something like six thousand dollars I don't think we're gonna make a deal then because the best I'm gonna go sport yeah I I can't do four sorry on this one but you know I'm gonna have to click my heels three times and take it home I think okay all right if you change your mind no thanks man I agree reluctantly with Rebecca's assessment to the book but I'm definitely going to come back to the to the pawn shop to try and sell some more books and I mean hopefully the next sale will be more successful than this one Antoine yeah do we get some packages in today yeah I got some office supplies and a package for the old man there wasn't a package for me no who were the packages addressed to Richard Harrison the old man what is my name [Music] Rick Harrison no I am Richard Harrison I don't think anyone's actually named Rick Rick is short for Richard this is all new to me [Music] okay so where is the package uh put it on the old man's disc okay fine you guys are gonna have to start signing for your own packages what what did you just say [Music] what is this man this is a turbo drive 2. it's a slot car arcade racing game and how the hell did you get through the door without me noticing well two of your guys were nice enough to bring this in but they weren't nice enough to help you out were they no not yet I bought it from a collector of Dome games down in Houston Texas and he ran out of room in his garage for all this stuff this is not an easy thing to own it's a monster Pig for an arcade game I want to get three thousand dollars for this game and the least I would take would be two grand that's awesome man can you tell me about the history of the game or well uh turbo drive was a game that was developed by a Spanish company for the arcade market and they licensed the technology and the rice to make this game to a company in Buffalo New York called ice then they decided to make some little fine improvements to the game and came out with turbo drive too which is what this is and they made only one this is one of one okay I could see how cool it would have been when it first came out right but for what kids have today I mean it's probably boring game was pretty cool and I'm sure people love playing it back in the 90s I'm willing to bet there's somebody out there that would love to get their hands on it today hell I mean even I kind of want it so does this thing work yeah let's play it man okay I'm going to warn you man I'm gonna kick your butt at this game I bet seeing this time I've never played it before but yeah man all right we'll try we'll do head to head but starting right there all right and watch your speed limits there second gear go all right speed limit start off a little bit now there's some kind of skill to it though it's not just holding the joystick down as not as you can no you're not just mashing the pedal down there we go around the curve this straight away okay the speed limits are down got me okay and it shows you had more laps tonight you had 19 I only had 18 for being the owner of this game you kind of suck it well I got more points than you did so what are you looking to do with it you want to pawn it sell it I want to sell this game all right um what are you looking to get out of it three thousand dollars you know you're telling me it's a one-of-a-kind game and all that let me have a buddy of mine come down and take a look at it see what uh what he thinks about it and kind of give me a price all right I think that's very fair I owned one of these back in the 90s when I had an arcade so well whoever he's calling in better know his stuff because I know everything about this game and about pinball machines [Music] what is this this is a World War II officer's mess kit okay let's check it out sure well we've probably got enough place here for half dozen offices I counted eight which is sort of neat because when you go out by a set of china for use of your home it usually comes in a set of eight right well I got it at an army surplus place in New Mexico and they were going to throw them away so I said could I have one and they gave it to me free so I'm trying to get 500. but we'll see how it goes it's typical of a lot of stuff from like World War II because there was that massive divide between officers and enlisted men if you look at old pictures of World War II you would see the the poor enlisted guys with their platter and they would go up to the line they get a lot of slop and they would still have the officers have servants serving them dinner on platters in a tent let's see what you got this is us 1960. so this is actually not for World War II you might have sought service in the Vietnam but it doesn't look that used so I'm assuming it's stayed in the states the one thing about uh you know our U.S military they have a tendency to over make things and then just store them forever right when would you be interested in buying this um how much you want for it I want it about 500 is what I'm looking for dollars yeah it's pretty cool but my problem is I don't know if this is going to sit around here for three days or three years so I will give you 200 bucks um what about um 350 no can you do better than 200 no no I'm just going to teach you pawn shop math that's 200 bucks okay all right uh 200 it is okay I got a deal the 200 was 50 less than what I would have uh taken but it's better than nothing and I'm gonna go add it to my uh money to pay my mortgage so that's what I'm doing all right [Music] foreign came in with a one-of-a-kind arcade game from the 90s I really like it it's got that cool arcade Nostalgia factor and it's actually pretty entertaining I'm just not sure what it's worth so I called up Nick so I see you brought in a turbo drive you thinking of buying this uh depending on what you say okay well I'm glad I carry that much weight does this one work have you played it I've been playing it seems good to me because it's all lit up and it's beautiful so what can you tell me about it man all right this is turbo drive too it was made in 1992 by Ice The Originals were made in 1988. it's hard to find some of the originals now that are working because they have a real bad power supply problem it's kind of cool to see their attempt at re innovating this game there is some big differences between the original and this one first of all the software was redesigned so that when you took the corners you had to downshift because you got penalized for taking the corners and it's also missing the bottleneck the bottleneck track is gone here that was a really cool feature on the originals The Originals had this area in the track where when you got to it whoever got there first you stopped the other car until you got past the bottleneck so they gave you a speed advantage and especially if you're racing okay so how popular was it in the 90s in 1988 when they first came out they were very popular so I was surprised they stopped around at 240. uh the trouble is what prohibited them was is that the operators didn't want to spend five thousand dollars for a piece that was only going to make 25 cents to 50 cents a game kind of really cool to see one that works absolutely so what are they worth a one of a kind now Rarity doesn't mean that it's valuable and me personally I would rather have an original because it has the special bottleneck features and all that stuff but most of the time they don't work I've seen him go at the auctions the original ones in between three to five hundred to eight hundred dollars but this one being a one of a kind and a one-off somebody wanting something that was rare and unique in having saying oh I have the only one made I would probably give you 2500 for it okay my man okay take care take care nice to meet you you too a slot car collector might want this because you could actually open the Dome up and put your cars in there if Corey gets a good deal on this it's going to be easy for him to flip it for a profit it's definitely cool but I have to tell you this is a lot of real estate for me to try to sell in here I mean it's not worth it to me to make 500 bucks I can put 25 things around it that would sell just fine um I'd give you a thousand bucks for it well your guy just said was worth 2500. it's not something I want to sell really fast yeah do I think I could sell them do I think I could make money on it absolutely do I think it's going to take some time yeah so that's my offer a thousand bucks well how about if we say 1500 that way it gives you you can make a thousand on it buddy I'll do 1100 bucks I can't really go much higher than that though all right I don't want to haul it with me just do it too all right all right need me over there let's do some paperwork all right thank you when you have a one of a kind item you just don't know what it's really worth I didn't want to accept 1100 but he knew he had me in a bind he knew I didn't want to move that game out of here again so there's my package no it's addressed to me what is the name Richard Hearst what's my name Bishop Jay Harris just give it to me what are you gonna give me for okay it is not the third grade okay he's gonna bust a blood vessel boss just give him his toupee it don't look like no book I ever seen motorcycle parts why do you have my caliper extenders package came in being addressed to Richard Harrison do you forget that my name is also Richard Harrison well if you had stuff shipped here to Corey Harrison instead of Richard Harrison my name is Richard my credit card says Richard I know that you sure yes I'm sure I didn't ask to be named the same thing as you two get off my stuff that is true well I still don't have my books I can't believe you forgot your son's name on this episode of Pawn Stars it's a 1981 Suzuki Crow Street drag bike none of them were as fast as these you know you pull a few screws out and I think that's 200 miles an hour it's a Beatles guitar all signed by the four of them it's absolutely amazing you rarely if ever see all four autographs on one thing you got a ridiculous amount of money here at my shop family comes first and money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars [Music] hey what can I help you with I've got something here for you to see okay it's not a machine gun or anything is it no no whoa it's a Beatles guitar all signed by the four of them that's really cool where did you get this I got it in 87 but it was signed in 64. I mean if it's legit it's absolutely amazing you got a ridiculous amount of money here I actually got it from a customer I was in a wholesale t-shirt business and his brother happened to be involved with the Beatles on the tour he was either a promoter or set up locations I don't know but he took the guitar and had it signed I've had it for over 30 years and I think it's a real deal and I would like to sell it because I need the money that's pretty amazing I mean it's the Beatles I mean they really are considered the most iconic rock band ever I own Beetle stuff that's worth a hell of a lot of money and I've sold Beetle stuff for a whole lot of money the fact of the matter is you rarely if ever see all four autographs on one thing a sign Beatles guitar from the 1960s is practically unheard of but that doesn't mean it can't exist if this lady's story actually checks out this would be a mega find have you ever had this looked at by anybody yes by many people okay this looks absolutely amazing but this happened a lot with the Beatles you know girls would come up they'd want their autograph the Roadies would go I'll go get something signed for you and then they would go you know behind a corner and sign everything and then come back out trying to get a girl's phone number wasn't signed by the artist and have something signed by all four of them on a guitar is rare than hence teeth it really is how much do you want for this thing I want a hundred thousand your numbers close to being in the ballpark it really is my big concern is I mean we have big bold signatures of The Beatles on a guitar I've just never seen that before so I really want maybe a couple people to look at this so I'd be happy to somebody look at it hang on for a little bit I'm gonna call some people okay good appreciate it I've had some experts look at it I think it's good and so of course I want to see somebody else's opinion I got a call from someone looking to sell an old Suzuki drag bike there's nothing I love more than motorcycles and a chance to leave the shop let's just hope it's worth the drive out here so this is it huh this is it tell me about it it's a 1981 Suzuki GS 1100 pro street drag bike probably gonna run 540 odd miles an hour in stock from the factory you know I mean so 1981 you got 140 mile an hour bike you know you pull a few screws out and the thing goes 200 miles an hour foreign bikes most of my career so I kind of just had a thing for them it's in really good condition I'd like to sell the bike today because I'd really like to get back into drag racing I've got a funny bike that's been sitting for a few years and I need the money to get it ready for next season I love these old bikes like this before this there really wasn't very many bikes doing 140 miles an hour out the box on the street none of them were as fast as these what all have you had done to it it's been stretched and low and it's got a calf AB swing arm on it the front end's been dropped okay we've got advanced in Hinds Sidewinder pipe it's a pretty much just aftermarket carbon pipes as far as performance goes right exactly typically in a drag race something like this you're not really worried about the motor you're more worried about the handling right yeah well you said that's why the bike has been lowered and stretched so it gives you a lot more stability at speed the Suzuki GS 1100e was one of the first modern Superbikes of its time it was mainly due to the technological advancements like the twin swirl combustion chamber which also made it the fastest bike on the road when it was introduced so back in the 80s this thing was pretty badass all right what are you looking to get out of it I'm looking for 3 000 out of it okay and it's got a um title everything's cool yeah the title was lost short but then the previous owner started all the paperwork back in California for the Lost application and all that okay so we don't have a title with it right now no but I've got all the documents that he had already started with the DMV out there okay I am really interested in the bike I'm not gonna not gonna lie to you there we do have some issues man I'd prefer it to be street legal well it can be made it was a street bike it was registered in California years back be honest with you if you had a title with it I'd offer you I'd offer you about 2500. I would offer you 1500. it's up to you man it's a thousand bucks for whoever goes up and gets it what about we do 17.50 kind of split it you're getting a lot of parts here you're getting a lot for the money and these things are hot right now I'm gonna hold you the 1500 man 1600. you got me man the bike's too cool to lose it over 100 bucks all right Dale um I have some guys come by and get you paid and have you do some paperwork all right okay sounds great Take Care thank you man appreciate it I bought the bike for fifteen hundred dollars about a year ago so I'm pretty happy I made a hundred dollars [Music] [Music] a customer brought in a guitar and she says that it was signed by every beetle in the 1960s if it's real we're talking six figures with something like this I want to call my buddy Warwick I mean this guy knows everything there is to know about the Beatles can I whip it out whatever you want so what are you concerned about I'm just looking at a guitar that's got these autographs I just alarm Bells go off of my head well you're quite right to be suspicious because if you had a Beatles guitar signed in 1964 in America it would be a quarter of a million dollars easy easy if there is out there a Beatles guitar the signed by all the Beatles in 1964. it's fantastic it's great what do you think anybody signed anything in 1964 they'd be signing with a ballpoint pan not a Sharpie that's not really true in 1940 the felt pen was implanted in Japan in 1962 felt pins the flare was brought over here I remember those they were colored ink and it didn't stick to anything like this no they were black flare pins black felt pins and 90s so what do you think does that mean that the Beatles were carrying them around no but person that got a sign maybe had it that's what I'm saying this guy he was involved somehow with their tour my opinion on this is it's too good to be true it is very very rare to see anybody signing uh guitars in 1964 they weren't they signed autographed books all the kids carried little autographed books to have signed nobody thought of signing anything else and so I you know Rick I think we need to get an autograph expert on these autographs okay thanks man I appreciate it always my pleasure thank you thank you it's good to see good to see Warwick has given me a lot to think about but if this thing turns out to be real and I let it get away I'll never forgive myself so I got to get Steve down here to check out the most important part of all the signatures hey what's up man how much how you doing today what do we got here we got here is a 1912 mirror scope also called a magic lantern basically it's a projector you would put uh postcards in there or pictures and you would project it up on the wall well I doubt it plays Blu-rays right I actually picked up a garage sale I'm an antique dealer I did some research and realized it's over 100 years old I just picked it up really because I thought it was an unusual item and I've never seen one before so I thought it'd be something to put into my store briscoes are cool it's one of those like really early examples of a projector these things were used for a lot of stuff I mean they were used to play games they were used for entertainment they're used for Education there's three different styles that they made there was gas there was settling where you'd actually have to have a generator um but this was one of the first ones that actually used electricity it was pretty much how you progressed to movie theaters they were pretty cool so does it still work it does work all right well uh I'll tell you what come with me and we'll go test it out and talk money after that sounds good I think once we plug this in he'll be very intrigued if we hit the lights all right so what he sees being that it's over 100 years old it's a very neat object foreign look at my great artwork there I guess we put it in upside down but all right thing definitely works let me get the lights real quick okay long before social media or camcorders the mirror scope is what you use to project images I guess you can say it was the first way to post pictures to your wall literally to a real wall what are you looking to get out of it well uh I'm asking 400 for it you're asking 400 for it you're asking too much yeah bye I'll give you 80 bucks yeah you got to realize man I mean that it's cool for what it is but there's a thousand better projectors out there you can buy for less than 400 bucks about 300. how about a hundred bucks and don't ask me for any more yeah and that's the most I could do man 120. 100 bucks 100 bucks trust me I don't need it that bad in my life well I guess I could do that all right buddy appreciate it thank you um squid and leave this here and we'll write you up all right sounds good I bought this thing for ten dollars at a garage sale so eight or nine times the money I'm happy with that hey how can I help you man I've got this piece it's an American Express stock certificate and it's signed by Henry Wells and James Fargo that's cool we'll never leave home without it no all right I got the stock certificate from a private collection the stock certificate represents one share of five hundred dollars signed by two banking icons and it's also dated April 1st 1863. I know I can make money on it and I enjoy things and I turn them it's like a little stock market buy sell and move on to something else cool this company has a really Bizarro history okay you'll notice that it's signed by Fargo and it's signed by Wells yeah that's right Wells Fargo you know the giant banking system yeah of course and I know if you go back and look at the original history this all sort of started together basically they started off as a freight company if you look at the words American Express sounds like Federal Express a package company you know what I mean that's what it was it started off as a package company that turned into a stagecoach company that turned into a bank at one point there was a split and American Express went one way and wells in Fargo went another way I've seen these in better shape yeah you got foxing all around it and it's got the Civil War tack stamps on it there's like a stock transfer tax all right um not much two cents we got six cents there this item is really cool because it has a lot of different things that make it collectible it's got historical significance it's got a civil war stamp and it's got value it's a history nerd trifecta pretty pretty cool I like this big question is what do you want to do with it I want to sell it how much you want 2500 um how'd you come up with that number I thought that's a decent price you know for something iconic and something so historical you know it's like go find one I've seen them go for in general for a lot lot less okay okay um they usually go for like three four hundred bucks 500 bucks yeah I've seen ones that have gone for three four hundred bucks but they've been signed by a descendant of Fargo I think it's either a son or a nephew that worked with his father ones that are signed by William George Fargo and Henry Wells go for a lot more um yeah um I I've just seen these things go for a lot less money I really have I mean and if you're a seller at like 400 bucks we got a deal yeah that's way too low I'd pay a lot more than that myself so but I appreciate it well we'll agree to disagree check around yeah okay uh no definitely just in my mind that's what I remember so um yeah there's always the possibility I could be wrong but it rarely happens have a good one hey thanks a lot I appreciate it since we couldn't make a deal today I'm going to post it online and I'm going to put my asking price and I'm sure I'll get that or a little bit shy off of that but nowhere near 400 dollars I'm just assuming Chum you were the last one to use the printer right well hello grumpy still skin am I right yeah so what did I do you didn't put paper in it oh my God I forgot to put paper in there well yeah my bad if you run all the paper out of the copy machine you fill it back up I didn't know that I ran all the paper out see a little red light comes on and blinks when you need paper the one man on the planet that can barely use any technology at all knows when the copy machine runs out of paper there's other people around here to be filling the printer up with paper you guys pay someone to do that so I'm not just going to go around taking other people's jobs that's not right is no individual person's job to do it it's just etiquette and I'm just saying you're done with a copy machine fill it up with paper please can you do that for me if he hasn't learned common decency yet he's not gonna some things you're just going to have to live with you want me to fill up the copier Rick where's our copy machine at I'd have to find it I love you Dad [Music] [Music] earlier today a woman came in the shop with a guitar that she says is signed by all four Beatles in 1964. Warwick was skeptical but he said if it is real we could get over a quarter of a million dollars for him with that kind of money I really want to get a second opinion so I called Steve down Warwick looked at it he had a real problem with the pen okay so would they have this pen in 1964 they used a lot to Mark like jerseys games jerseys on the inside tagging and stuff like that so it wouldn't come off um this definitely looks fiber tip so that could also be a Sharpie but as you know Sharpie wasn't around until post 1973-74. now I see an inscription that's on here as you can see here they'd sign love from the Beatles or all the best this is has love but you could see here where you know McCartney wrote this and he ended up writing that a lot three X's underneath occasionally they would do that you know especially for girls so that was a big thing and this is the Lenin signature and well John Lennon didn't all the time were his signature um didn't always look like an o and this is a real pronounced d now sometimes he rolled it a little you see Ringo Starr right would typically put a star that's also something that kind of sticks out right here so there's some things on here that I find pretty interesting okay interesting good or interesting bad well that's the thing um when I take a look at the whole thing um I've seen this before especially I've seen this inscription before okay so what do you saying it's not real okay and I know the guy who did it and he's a pretty famous guy he's been doing this for years and years he's kind of out of the running now but mostly targets albums album Pages he likes to try and fool people so it's the same Forge you're doing lots of stuff yeah this is a real pronounced e on here right but it's too pronounced and someone screwed up here so okay so it's definitely nothing no this here the Ringo Starr is something that um when Ringo did his underneath his signature here this is a beautiful example of what he used to do this is not breaking my heart I'm sorry it just works out that way thanks man I'll see you take care all right any line of business there's always people someone wants to take advantage of you but in the autographed business it's prevalent so you got to be careful you got to know what you're doing before you invest a lot of money in something like that have it checked out by me I'm sorry I am too I would have loved to have bought it but um well no I wouldn't want to sell it if it's not real thanks for coming in keep it hang it on my wall okay thank you the fact that they're telling me that it's not real doesn't necessarily make me really believe it's not real I still have hope if you lose hope whatever you got do you want my burger no I'm good because he look like he could use some food so do we have paper in the copy machine I'll make sure there's paper in the coffee machine after lunch yeah please do because I got some more copies to make you're the one who was supposed to put the paper back to begin with and you're his boss and you were sitting right there when I told him to refill it so why isn't it done just calm down I had to order lunch and then it got here and now I'm gonna eat it and so that 20 or 30 minutes between ordering food and the food getting here what did you do then clean my shoes they were a little dirty dude relax it's already done I'm just messing with you [Music] hey you're gonna take the last cup and not make a pot yeah you use the last as something you replace it whether it's coffee or paper if you use the last of something refill it it's not that hard Sierra we're gonna leave by example because I have stuff to do Rick you have no etiquette can you define the word etiquette um on this episode of Pawn Stars this trip is all about making money so what better place to do it than Hollywood welcome to Beverly Hills I dig it back in the 70s I worked on the Sonny and Cher show they were so huge in the 70s whoa this is it The Mouse House this has got to be like the most impressive collection I've ever seen in my life well I've got a couple pieces that I think you'd find rather interesting Lot number 596. I have over 100 different items in this auction thick flick it could be a real Payday or I could lose my ass on all of it going once going twice hi shop family comes first money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars [Music] hey how's it going good how you doing what are these right here these are mining tools that I got from my great grandfather okay are those things loaded they are loaded with gold I think they're collectible just because of the age of them my great grandfather of Mind in the foothills of Northern California I know he did find some gold he found this gold ring but I'm not sure how he found it these are Spanish dips which are voodoo to a degree to a degree they're really similar to like a divining Rod you've seen the guys walk around with the with the wishbone stick and they walk around they try and find water with a divining Rod you were supposed to be able to walk along in a canyon and it was supposed to point towards the gold Nevada has a great mining history and anything to do with mining there's tons of collectors here I would absolutely love to have these in my shop what are we looking to get out of them uh 1200. where did you get your number at just pulled it out of here just pulled it out of the air because I I honestly don't know what they're worth uh I know they're old the ones I have seen gone for right around 300 bucks but the ones I've seen were not nearly this fancy you take 500 bucks for them each total 900 . one of the problems is hardly anybody on the planet knows what these things are which makes them a little more unique so 800. no 600 bucks is it dude I mean I am not going any more than that and that's a risk it's up to you no it's just not enough I think they're too rare thanks for bringing them in all done okay okay just change your mind give me a call all right will do I didn't take his deal mainly because of sentimental value they've been in the family for over 100 years I just don't want to give them away okay there's a whole list of stuff in the cage I need it all boxed up and I need to send to LA what are we send in jelly for I'm going to be in La selling a bunch of stuff in an auction people who come to my shop every day aren't necessarily looking for a pen used by Lyndon Baines Johnson or a 1917 Indian Motorcycle so why not take some of this stuff to an auction where there's a lot of interested buyers from all around the world when are we going [Music] I'll drive it down and meet you there oh you can ride with me no you're not going you're going to the post office to mail this stuff you're right I'll just mail it and we'll fly first class no because I'm going to end up having you spend the night there and I am not spending more than a couple hours with you all three of you go out handle the place no no no this is not going to happen screw you guys I'm going for a walk well at least his Spirit has a gun oh shut up foreign [Music] I'm in LA to do some business with Julian's auction house they have some really cool memorabilia here from celebrities and sports stars and they have a worldwide audience this trip is all about making money so what better place to do it than Hollywood hey Ryan welcome to Beverly Hills how's it going doing great man good we've got the exhibition set up here your stuff's in the back okay okay my stuff's gonna sell for a lot of money right there's always a big risk putting stuff in an auction you never know exactly what you're going to get but Julian's is a really big auction house they advertise a lot they're well known so fingers crossed we'll have your items back here so I think you recognize those guys yeah I dig it we have just a few of the highlights out so we've got a lot of people out of Interest so definitely a trip down memory lane I did not even have that thing I picked out a bunch of stuff that I think will do really well at an auction these are sort of iconic things that I don't necessarily get clients for in the shop I have a NASA space helmet a pen used by Lyndon Johnson and my big flick guitar so this is a way that I can get them advertised all the way around the world and hopefully get top dollar cool so what else you got well over here actually this is one of our mini James Bond items in the auction a helicopter from You Only Live Twice that's really cool we have Lost in Space TV series that's deeply cool and we have the Princess Diana dresses that she wore okay and then over here we have some share I actually have a customer that would love that is there any way I could maybe talk to the owner and buy it before the auction uh we don't like to do that because we have people flying into the auction most people don't put hundreds of things in your office I know do you have a minute sure this guy's got some sign sheet music and an autographed picture of Cher so I think it might work out for him and me if he just sells it to me now he doesn't pay the auction commissions and I get it for the right price this is Sam Sam this is rickerson how's it going Ben good um this piece you've consigned to us for the auction Rick actually wants to buy it outright great thanks let me know what you decide and we'll pull it from the auction all right thanks guys so where'd you get this uh back in the 70s I worked doing cue cards on the Sonny and Cher show that's pretty cool I mean this was like cbs's number one show there for a while right for a while they were in the middle of all their divorce and all their trouble though so they weren't even speaking to each other at the time I'm selling a framed up autographed photo of share a piece of sheet music I Got You Babe signed by Sunny combined with a ticket from the show I've got the item in the auction and I'm hoping to get by 50 for it hoping I can talk him into that they were so huge in the 70s so was it fun working on the show it was fun because it was my favorite show and I love Cher so it was great and between breaks they'd be just wandering around or whatever so I took it with me one day and had them both autograph the pieces cool yeah I've heard of television shows like that where people absolutely hate each other but they still work with each other because you know they got a contract right but then they'd come on and sing I Got You Babe or do their skits or whatever and everything was fine so all right pretty interesting I mean I remember it was the typical variety show of the 1970s they would come on they would do like a monologue they'd get some laughs and then they'd do different weird skits and they'd have guest stars on all the time right everyone knows the song I Got You Babe everyone knows sunny and Cher that's what makes this so iconic and if these autographs are actually real this is a great find so how much were you hoping to get out of it I'm asking 550. ah you know um a friend of mine is meeting me down here and autographs is his thing so why what are you afraid of or whatever no I just want to make sure they signed it it's not that I don't trust you I just don't trust anything right sure that's fine okay just give me a few minutes okay that's fine yeah he could call in an expert and have them check it out but uh I mean I was right there and had him sign both pieces so I know they're real my dad may be out auctioning stuff off in L.A but we still got business to do here at the pawn shop and I'm gonna go check out a cool item this morning so what do we got my ultra 4 race car all right uh it's kind of like a hybrid between a trophy truck and a rock crawler right yep people have been driving rock crawlers around since the very first Jeep there's just something about going where you're not supposed to be able to go and then trying to do it fast Ultra 4 is a cross between desert racing and rock crawling I need to sell this car so I can build a new one to race Ultra 4 competitively you better spend a lot of money and a lot of time you can't have another Hobby the thing's pretty gnarly man tell me about it did you build it yourself or I did it's got a five liter engine 14 inch brakes uh C4 trans it's a solid car okay so are they fast it's a balancing act this thing has to be fast in the desert but it has to be able to get through the Rocks too top speed in it what's that 100 miles an hour you want to show me absolutely I don't know how much they know about Ultra 4 race cars but once they see this car going they're going to want it awesome whoa [Music] all right [Music] Gemini are out in the desert checking out an ultra poor race car whoa whoa this thing is pretty badass it's fast it looks like it's built well I know I can make money off of it and I could see having a lot of fun with this thing so what do you think it does look pretty fun we both know once you build this stuff you never get your money out of it that's why I'm only asking 50. I'll do 20. could you do 42. 25 that's that's that's my limit that's the most I can spend on it I think we could get there if I pull my lights my nav and my calm nope I'm taking it off 25. how about 27 and I throw in the trailer we can do that all right let's do thanks all right uh if you want to bring it to the pawn shop we'll uh get you all taken care of all right sounds good take care dude we're gonna be taking this thing out of the desert like I'd let you drive this so here it is dude I actually have a customer that's like a freak over share items and this piece right here if I can get it for the right price I can flip it in a minute this guy says he was standing right in front of Sonny and Cher when they signed these items but Steve happened to be in town to do some business so I gave him a call just for my peace of mind oh sweet Sonny and Cher I grew up with these guys but you know it's weird I always remember Sonny mostly from uh Love Boat I don't know why he was on there a bunch wasn't he you know Sonny and Cher they were this great couple through the 60s early 70s you end up breaking up Sonny's career kind of went nowhere then he got into politics and then Cher went on to be this Mega star I just want to kind of look at the examples I have on file and the thing you noticed about her autograph it's extremely sloppy and if we look at this example here she starts off with the c comes back down and loops around you see the same thing here it's all connected it's all one thing so it's pretty simple uh Sunny actually I like his signature a little better he used to write a salutation and we see almost the same thing here where he's writing best wishes Sonny Bono he Stacks his signature usually which writes on two different planes so those are two good signs great okay so they're legit we're good to go okay of course yeah I told you so what do you think the pairs were uh it's put together nicely it's got the nice ticket together this piece here about 350. okay I was asking a little bit more than that if Cher was actually on the sheet music for I Got You Babe that would really put it up in the stratosphere all right thanks man yeah good to see you good luck thanks thanks man I'm basing the value on what I see in the marketplace Could It Go for 550 Could It Go for 700 absolutely but I think it'll end up being closer to that 350 range so what do you think I think I like 250. no I can't do that you need something share a fan would love it they probably would I mean but you know he bases his prices on stuff that's already out there so right I mean what's the best price you take for it like 475 ah yeah I don't think we're gonna make a deal you know I mean does this help the auction give me a call though okay okay all right have a good one man nice to meet you thank you 350 is like a really low appraisal to me so I'll keep it in the auction and see what happens [Music] you gonna eat all that you better hear it for my dad I don't want to hear from him dude I shouldn't be in LA right now yeah but the problem is you'd have to go with him we should do an auction here why would we do an auction here we have tons of stuff in the back that we haven't sold in years right yeah so I'll get all that stuff together and just prove to him that he wasted all this time by going to La we could have done the option right here how about we just put that much effort into your regular job here Antoine what do you think that's two against one that's one yeah do the auction thing we'll see how that works out where you going come eat lunch with us hey Bernie how's it going how are you Rick doing good there's a ton of people I do business with all around the country but I never get to meet them in person can't wait to see this stuff that's always over the phone or the internet or something like that so now that I'm in La I'm gonna go see Bernie the guy when it comes to All Things Disney whoa this is it the mouse house that's all from the 1930s this has got to be like the most impressive collection I've ever seen in my life thank you I love Mickey Mouse I've been collecting Mickey Mouse and Disney things since about 1968. before it was pop chic I saw this stuff go from low brow to high art in a matter of decades this is all pre-disneyland oh definitely pre-disneyland Disneyland 1955 where the first merchandise was produced around 1929 1930. yeah I think the first merchandise piece was someone ran into Walt Disney in a Lobby and wanted to give him 300 so he put Mickey Mouse I don't know Pat that's exactly right Mickey Mouse was wildly popular in the 1930s but the stuff that was built wasn't built to last and there's hardly any of it around today let me show you this piece is not for sale but this is a Old King Cole store display pre-donald but the beauty of this thing is it moves doesn't get any better than that Rick um yeah so that is amazing and I'll show you something that I think might be the only example that's Walt Disney's original business card from the Hyperion studio in Hollywood that is amazing no email address [Music] the business card is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen because I've never seen one before but I doubt if anyone else has you are looking to sell some stuff right well I've got a couple pieces that I can show you that I think you'd find rather interesting come here let me show you I have probably the largest accumulation of what they called Old King Coal store displays and I have got three but I'm going to show to Rick that he's going to go back to Las Vegas with you mark my words it's a Mickey Donald and another Mickey amazing they were made by a company called Old King Cole in Canton Ohio and they were never intended for the consumer Market these were commercial things that were either used as window displays storage place and then also in theaters they'd use them if they had a Mickey Mouse cartoon or something they were made of paper mache the world's most delicate material and there are very few made and very few survived I want these store displays I'm a closet Disney freak and this is stuff that will never come my way again I need to have this [Music] I'm looking at some 1930s King Cole store displays it's going to be tough to like get these for a really great price from Bernie because he knows that I know he's the only one in the world with these the great thing I love about this right here we have the old Donald Duck with the giant long Bill long Bill Donald that's right they were crazier characters back then absolutely so how much were you looking to get out of these well I need 15 000 on the Donald if you want the pair of them they're pointing to each other Rick make a nice Marquis somewhere for you you're gonna pay me uh 25 000 for the pair and this one over here you can have for twelve thousand so if I took them all 35 000 rip did you go 30. you're gonna negotiate with me it's in my blood I can't help it I mean they're amazing they really are and uh can we beat the middle that would be 32.50 wouldn't it yeah congratulations you made yourself a hell of a buy I'm absolutely giddy these are probably one of the coolest things I've ever bought this is going to be one of those things that I hang in my shop that people for years will come down just to look at these let's go look at some other stuff [Music] what do we got I brought something in that I bet you have never seen before it's an ivory and silver conductor's baton and it's engraved to the conductor of the Red Rooster brothel in San Francisco that is a really interesting story there actually I found one like that for sale in England but it was to a conductor of a boys choir well we're going all kinds of subjects brothels boys choirs okay [Music] conductor of an orchestra at a brothel in San Francisco in 1872. my ex-husband wanted it so I bought it for him I never knew there was a need for a conductor in a brothel [Music] what do you know about the Red Rooster brothel this was one of the more upscale brothels in San Francisco and and the woman that owned at Madame lazarene she and her husband own several brothels okay a lot of people think prostitution somehow ended at the end of the 1800s it was really more after World War II and a lot of it had more to do with military bases around the country military bases started saying hey we're going to pull the military base away from your city if you allow prostitution oh I really don't know how valuable an ivory baton from a conductor who worked inside of brothel could be especially since Ivory is illegal to own in certain States I'm almost afraid to say I'm kind of intrigued it definitely is ivory it is old I don't doubt the age one of the ways you can tell is because it's been illegal to have Ivory in California for a while now so what are you looking to do with it to sell it how much are you looking to get out of it I want 3 500. you want thirty five hundred dollars it wasn't necessarily like the Red Rooster brothel was a really inFAMOUS or famous book there was thousands and thousands of them and it's a weird item to relate to a brothel I'd give you like 700 bucks you couldn't even go a thousand not even a thousand okay I think I'll just keep it and okay I don't blame you okay oh thank you I didn't take seven hundred dollars I guess just on General principle I'll probably just take it home and think of what I'm going to do with it it doesn't take up that much room [Music] [Music] thank you hey Rick do you have a minute oh that is cool Darren is one of the owners here at Julian's auction house and quite frankly I never thought there'd be so much stuff I want to buy that is cool I'm in heaven this is a rocket ship model that was used by the film studios for The Flash Gordon cereals back in the 1930s Flash Gordon huh it was the cheesiest most inexpensively shot thing you've ever seen in your life super cheese ball but every sci-fi fan will acknowledge super cool too this originally was owned by a world-renowned toys and props collector who got this from the studios back in the 1960s I think this thing is worth in the hundred thousand dollar range this is really really neat my specialty is not in the Sci-Fi okay Flash Gordon was really the first TV series right in the 1930s there was no televisions obviously but every Saturday when you went to the movies there was the cereals and this was the big one it would be a double feature and right between the double features was an episode of Flash Gordon right what made Flash Gordon so popular it was the first real Sci-Fi series it captivated the imagination of kids across this country I want this but that's all that it would have Universal and fox originally Fox films with the the film just imagine they had a very similar rocket ship model and then the universal obtained some models from Fox to use in the Flash Gordon so this might have even been around for just imagine okay I can see you want this to be your baby so I'll let you have it okay Darren has been absolutely great I feel bad that I'm trying to take something away from one of his auctions but when Opportunity Knocks I'm just in love with it but I've seen a lot of these old prompts from back then and you know my big concern with it it's too nice I have a friend that does props okay okay I'm gonna get him down here he'll take a look at it right this is neat hang out hang out okay if this movie prop is actually real it will be worth a fortune because it would be a prized item from the Golden Age of movies [Music] Coca-Cola truck going once going twice ten dollars sold to number one you can pick it up at the end of the auction number one you paid ten dollars for that Chum we got Overstock Corey I'm just trying to get rid of some of it it's initiative [Music] Trump's got this crazy idea to hold an auction at the shop while my dad's in L.A I probably should have stopped him but I'm washing my hands of this at the end of the day trim will take the blame for this not me going once going twice so forty dollars earlier Darren called me over to take a look at a movie prompt from the 1930s Flash Gordon cereals this thing is possibly one of the coolest movie props I have ever seen but I have my doubts on it being real so I called to my friend Jason from LA to help me out this is it okay any movie props even insignificant movie props from the 30s are exceedingly rare and this is a pretty prominent ship I mean when you think of Flash Gordon what image comes to mind it's probably going to be this ship right it's the rocket ship with the really cheesy sparkler coming up exactly yeah so Rick what are your concerns about this piece he is incredibly built right and that's what scares the hell out of me did it spend that much money on movie props back then because they didn't have to right there's a number of things that concern me about it on the bottom you know there's two stamps this says Fox films Corporation with an S and it's actually Fox film Corporation so it's like a typo on the logo which is sort of a red flag and the other thing is is it's Universal moving pictures and in 1922 they changed their name to Universal picture Corporation and Flash Gordon came out more than a dozen years later so it has the wrong name for Universal Pictures so what do you think there's a lot of people that make replica props that usually are better than the ones that you see on screen because they're made by hobbyists they're putting all this attention to detail like all the rivets and and things like that just look I mean I'm not saying that it is no I'm looking at it there's nothing about it that looks aged [Music] all right well unfortunately it's not real until you can prove it's real right okay okay but it's really really cool absolutely it's nice talking to you you too thank you this was not made yesterday despite what anybody says this thing's old and I think that sometime down the road some information is going to pop up about it but in the meantime we'll hang on to it and enjoy it foreign [Music] [Music] 's auction house and a guy just walked in with a fog horn from a lighthouse I am a sucker for things like this I love these things all right all right thanks man no problem I talked to Darren and he was nice enough about it say hey if you want to buy it for yourself go right ahead I won't put it in the auction so I'm gonna try and make a deal with this guy damn this is cool so this here's the early 1900s fog horn I picked this up it looked like an old fire hydrant I actually cleaned it all up and got it working you're turned it on oh yeah it'll give you a really good blast I know I don't want to hear it I don't want to have a headache for the rest of the day [Music] I came to Julian's auction house to sell or auction off my 1905 Lighthouse Foghorn my original offer is nineteen thousand dollars I blasted all time Fourth of July weekend my neighbors love me this thing is amazing these were designed so that you could hear them three miles away correct and uh these were a big innovation because before this lighthouses used bells and to hear a bell three miles away they had to use three and four thousand pound bells right so when these came along they were absolutely great the only problem was they needed electricity and a lot of those lighthouses were so remote they didn't have electricity so it took a while for these to start going to all the lighthouses right the fog horn is incredibly cool it's all brass it's all industrial looking this thing will bring really good money the problem is with something like this it's finding the right buyer for it pretty interesting the way the mechanism works is it has a diaphragm in here it's called the trumpet horn and it sends the sound through the through the trumpet there you know and then the plate here is like sound directional plate that uh is made to to send the sound 360 Degrees around okay so you're looking to sell it uh yeah I was actually thinking about putting auction but if you'd like to make a deal today I'll be more than happy to do that here what were we looking to get out of it I was asking nineteen thousand dollars what I was hoping to get whoa that's a lot of money Lighthouse stuff like this and foghorns in general they go for good money but I don't think they'll go for that much though I don't I mean I had twenty thousands of reach it really is realistically I think this thing would go for like eight or nine grand to the right person can you do twelve thousand five hundred I was thinking more like 5200. no I'm gonna have to pass on that I'll probably take a shot in the auction you know all right man it is cool yeah thank you I really appreciate it all right have fun getting back in the car because I couldn't make a deal I'm gonna put this piece in an auction I know I'll get a lot more than fifty two hundred dollars for it you know foreign [Music] [Applause] I'm taking a big risk by not selling them in my store but here Julian's brings some Big Spenders so um we'll see how it goes a little bit nervous get good prices today for everything the Star Trek stuff just really sold for crazy numbers hopefully it continues through your stuff there's not a lot of people in this building bidding but they have probably over a thousand people bidding on the internet and on the phones so uh there's a lot of people bidding there's a lot of money out there hopefully I get a big chunk of it all right ladies and gentlemen we're grateful to have Rick Harrison from the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop and the first lot I'm for sale we got the Red Bull Apache circus Banner great Americana we got 500 on Julian's live to start the bidding 600. 500 bids 600 600 fair warning selling at five hundred dollars auctions are hard I'm just used to being part of the negotiation but now what they sell for is it I'm stuck with it so it's the nature of auctions you just don't know what you're going to get 561 Jimi Hendrix photograph yeah 78 Janice Joplin photograph 85 Frank Sinatra Sarah and selling them 400 and selling 800 sold in the front roll three thousand two fifties 160 5 and this auction's going really really well smaller items I'm doing great on and the best part about this trip 's not here so far the auction's been going pretty good for the smaller priced items but I have items here where tens of thousands of dollars so I'm a little bit nervous because it could be a real Payday or I could lose my ass on all of it Lot number 614 is A Christmas Carol first edition it's one of the finest things I've ever seen at auction in a long time yeah seven I got 7 500. 7 500 one of the greatest novels ever written 7 500. I'm being honest when I tell you this is as good a Buy on anything I've seen in my lifetime 7500 going once click now ought to be bringing 20 grand going twice sold at seven thousand all right Lot number 596. the flick owned and played Fender Stratocaster wow that is very rare twenty thousand twenty thousands good twenty two thousand five hundred and a letter goes with it twenty two thousand five hundred twenty two thousand five hundred the only mistake today that you can make is not buying this guitar any other bits going once happened to one deep two thousand five hundred going twice selling then at twenty thousand I'm just getting really killed on the big items I was hoping to get twenty Thirty and forty thousand dollars for it they're just not bringing the money but it's the nature of the business sometimes I do really well sometimes I do really bad 642 the 1940 Indian motorcycle with a side car asking nine thousand dollars now 9 500. yep no ten thousand the ten thousand dollars yep no 11 11 000 now twelve twelve thousand dollars one of the greatest treasures you'll ever buy for the money fair warning then sold congratulations eleven thousand you've sold most of my items I'm getting my ass handed to me it doesn't feel good [Applause] trying to look for the Silver Lining I just can't find it I am just dreading going back to the shop [Applause] [Music] what do we got I got these awesome Keyhole glasses what's a keyhole glass it's basically a glass that has little keyholes in it that you can see the little picture in there I can definitely see these being in a bar somewhere oh yeah the more you drink the more of a surprise you got right it's some funny glasses like they got a little keyholing and they got little naked lady inside I want to sell them because I'm a little clumsy I think that they'd get broken in my possession so I think they're worth probably like 100 bucks like cool novelty item that I think every home should have all right yeah nice so where in the world did you get these I got them from uh my grandpa got seven of them okay um stuff like this was popular you know World War One World War II area yeah great pinup artists like George Petty Alberto Vargas Jill Elgar they made their careers drawing for men's magazines like Esquire and somehow the girls ended up on these glasses guys loved them these glasses were actually considered racy for their time but nowadays people find vintage Pinups to be glamorous and nostalgic there's a growing market for burlesque Collectibles so this could be a really good item for the shop any idea what you're looking to get um I'm thinking maybe like 100 bucks I mean they're definitely cool but uh we have a few condition issues you can see like the Pain's cracking and stuff like that but you know there's no real way to tell exactly how old they are I mean are they made by any specific manufacturer or anything not that I know of I'll be honest with you about 100 bucks is just way too much it is it's um I mean you're looking at maybe 40 bucks here thinking maybe 50. I'm thinking maybe for you I can get new versions of these they've never stopped making them so you want the 40 yeah all right Joe right on man show me right you up over there awesome I made a deal for 40 bucks but I feel good about it like I'm going home with some money can fill up my gas tank go on my next adventure [Music] Mr la I am not Mr La so what's up hot shot uh you know there's one guy I've been talking to back and forth um I went to his house and uh bought some Disney stuff so how much money did you spend 32 000 32.5 actually but I'm telling you we'll get forty five fifty thousand dollars out of these things if I had a little auction of my own what do you mean you had an auction what'd you sell a bunch of stuff that's been sitting around here for years for cost I had a gavel in everything I like the idea the show's initiative why didn't you think of this why didn't you think of this because I don't like to sell stuff at Cost we might do this again how'd the auction go for us in LA [Music] um I don't know what happened not a lot of people showed up and we got really brutalized on a lot of items see Rick you should have taken me at least we would have broke even and how much money did we lose on the stuff you sold like a hundred thousand dollars wow and put stuff in auctions before and I made lots of money this one ended up being really bad so lesson learned it's like I'm living in Bizarro world I'm done me too can I have a list bag so Corey we checking the championship would be to get a billboard on I-15 coming into town I think it's good advertisement for the shop really a billboard well people use them so they obviously work for some people why don't you go viral that's the best way to get new customers everyone's doing it why would the pawn shop owner be sick viral means that someone put something on the Internet and millions and millions look at your videos or your pictures or whatever like that yeah why don't we do that like the Grumpy Cat he just had a picture of him on the internet and now he's famous you know Chum if you want to try something like that on the internet you can give it a shot but don't take up your entire work day doing it I'm gonna get started now [Music] no no no no no pictures of me man what about you boss can I take a picture of you maybe give me your grumpiest look we'll give this all Grumpy Cat a run for his money you just take any photo of him and it would be grumpy at my shop family comes first and money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars what's up how you doing I got a limited edition Vellum sculpture by Anthony Quinn that's actually pretty cool but it's sort of weird is there like uh title to this the name is called the child okay I thought it was going to be called the owl [Laughter] I came down to the pawn shop to sell my Anthony Quinn sculpture I see a lot of the movies I love this work and then when I discovered that he was a painter and I got to finally see some of his work I decided to purchase them that is definitely cool where did you get it oh boy in Hawaii I buy a lot of rare antique pieces if you see it's very limited 22 out of 95. it's definitely different I wouldn't say beautiful attention Anthony Quinn was a great guy he was an incredible actor visit Lawrence of Arabia The Guns of Navarone you're always the tough guy and who had been really cool having an adult beverage with him one night yeah Anthony Quinn really loved Picasso he strive to be like him and see the similarities Anthony Quinn started painting when he was six but he didn't get really popular with the public and Philly was in his late 60s anything Anthony Quinn when it comes to his art sells for good money so I'm assuming you want to sell it yes how much you off for it since it's so limited I was asking uh 5500. um this is let's say it's abstract so I would really want to get my friend down here to have a look at this and see how easy this is to sell and um I'll be right back thank you I'm cool with an expert coming in to see the piece because I like to actually really see what is what is worth [Music] okay what do we have here and so 1930s Penny Arcade strength tester cool are you strong or weak test your grip which immediately says to a bunch of drunken guys in a bar that we need 100 pennies right away [Laughter] I came down the shop today to sell my 1930s Gottlieb grip tester anybody that had a penny could walk up to this device squeeze as hard as they could and measured how strong they were I'd like to give 1500 for it but we'll see what happens we'll have to negotiate as time goes on this is really cool these things were in Penny arcades they were in bars or a lot of different places Gottlieb as you know was uh very instrumental introducing the flipper to the pinball so oh yeah well it wasn't he was the first pen the first yep but this was an amazing cool machine right during the early 1900s gottliff made a lot of simple coin operated machines not only were these things popular back in the day collectors loved them now but the condition of this thing has me a little concerned okay um does it work it works pretty good you got a penny yep I sure do and now you just squeeze it yeah give it a squeeze oh you did it you're a man [Laughter] okay so this is uh it's pretty neat how much you want for it I was thinking like two grand woo it's a little out of the ballpark okay what were you thinking okay I'm thinking closer to 400 bucks um these things right here go for 1500 ish in beautiful wonderful condition and it needs a lot of TLC okay what'd you do a grand no because there's no money okay um take 500 bucks for it I could do seven is the best I can do which means you could do six okay so 600 bucks we'll do 600 all right sweet all right let's go up front and uh we'll do some paperwork man perfect absolutely love this machine but it's seen its better days so I'm gonna get Bob in here and see if he can work his magic [Music] all right [Music] I came in with a limited edition Vellum sculpture by Anthony Quinn a Hollywood Legend I know his stuff sells really good but I don't know what this particular One's Gonna sell for so I called in Brett to help me I know it's a Picasso at first glance but it's an Anthony Quinn Anthony Quinn Zorba yes he was in a lot of great movies yeah he was he was kind of always the man's man wasn't he yeah he was always a badass definitely always a badass very cool one of the the great late American actors and a pretty terrific artist too Anthony Quinn is most renowned as an actor but truthfully he was actually an artist before all of that fate intervened and he was offered up an incredible contract to be an actor which he took but he never got too far away from his Fine Art Roots during the course of his career now this one is the relief sculpture they would create a mole and then he would press the paper around it to create that kind of relief effect and it makes for a very Dynamic sculptural presentation imagine you had me down here because you've got a few concerns my big concern with this is this is not a lithograph this is not a painting this is a paper macheish thing actually this is pretty indicative of the work that he was doing and he was most renowned as a sculptor this is a way to get that sculptural effect without buying a one-of-a-kind marble bust in this case I think you'll find that this is going to be as desired as one of his limited edition prints that's good they're good to know okay so the big question what's it worth you know it is out of 95 which you know doesn't sound like a lot but that still means there's 95 identical copies of this floating around out there I can find works from this series out there in the three to four thousand dollar range yeah that's good to know you're the best man hey Rick yeah always a pleasure nice meeting you James yeah you've got a nice work there Anthony Quinn's works is in a number of museums a lot of important collections he's an artist that I think that's going to be revered for his fine art as much as he is for his fine acting well should I roll up my sleeve before you try to beat me up on this one I'm not going to try and beat you up but do you have a realistic price that you would take for this it's a nice beautiful frame how about 3 000. no I mean there's there's no money in here for me at three thousand night so what do you think it's need I think it'll sell two grand how about 22. [Music] beautiful frame look nice I'll meet you in the middle of 21. I can't go to more than that [Music] I'm not gonna let a deal go for 100 bucks okay let's do it thanks I I'll beat you right over there we'll write it up all right I have a lot of art so I had a game plan coming in here I knew what I wanted and I got what I wanted earlier I bought a 1930s grip tester that needs a ton of work so I called Bob down to see how much a restoration would cost oh is this like the coolest ever I love that I mean I know they made a lot of these but I've never had one before well this is actually an early one the later ones had big dials on it but this is one of the first it's probably been used quite a bit but it's still in good shape that's because when they built stuff like this it was built in the good old USA the Gottlieb one cent test to grip was a trade simulator they'd put it in bars they'd put it in markets and people would try their grip but it was to get people in the store and to spend money to find an original early style one like this one it's rare I mean it's just so 1930s and it works all I need you to do is clean it up and you can reproduce these same kind of graphics on and everything um it's gonna be a little tough to rebuild um but it can be done [Music] so how much do you think it's gonna cost to fix it up to do this whole thing and do it really nice with a nice wow factor um you're probably talking about between six and seven hundred dollars Okay cool so um I think I'll do all right on it if I do sell it okay um you're fixing it you carry it once I finish this Rick's gonna be wowed hey how's it going it's good man how you doing doing good what do we got I got something you're gonna want today it's a fireman's pen from New York take a look at that so you don't sound like you're from New York my man where'd you get it I got it from a buddy of my name Pete it's kind of got an interesting story about it uh his great grandmother just recently passed away and they found a box that she had secretly hit in the house that had some letters in it these letters apparently from a New York fire department guy that she hadn't had an affair with all right so Pete's grandma was a little bit of a rolling stone huh apparently okay we believe it's uh from the ladder company number 51 engine number 35. it's over 150 years old it seems very valuable to me the New York fire department is the best in the world I think I want to sell it today because really I don't have any use for it and I think it's a pretty nice piece these are interesting man the fire departments were all pretty much a volunteer thing okay and uh different fire department companies would show up and start kicking each other's ass over who got to put out the fire I wanted to go loot the burn building or they want to do a you know tell whoever's fire they put out that they wanted to get paid okay it was just it was a real interesting time back then I can tell you what would be kind of scary that was trying to put out a fire without you know a real a real great you know water system back then sure you didn't have fire trucks with massive pumps on them and generators and all that stuff no oxygen masks no respirators uh you know it just I can imagine it being pretty damn scary I would think so the New York fire department is one of the most well-known fire departments in the country there's a lot of people especially retired firefighters that love to collect that history so depending on how old this is this could be a really neat item how much are you looking to get for it about 500 about 500. um here's the deal my man I don't believe it's worth 500 but I got a feeling they're real collectible the firefighters have and always will be a real proud group of people just like police officers so they've always collected this stuff let me have a buddy of mine come down and take a look at it I'd really like to know how old it is before I could give you any kind of value on it all right okay all right hang out take a look around the store or I'll grab you when he gets here okay all right thank you they would bring in an expert I would love it no I'm positive it's real based on what I know [Music] that's the one [Music] we're done perfect perfect bring that back here I got something for you a little while ago I asked Bob to restore a 1930s got lib grip tester I hope everything went well or I might have to keep it for myself but I'll probably do that anyway now if you disappointed and you really don't want it I'll be glad to take it back from you whoa that looks amazing that came out better than I even imagined took it all apart we redid All the graphics I polished out the old color to make sure this was the right color exact um sent this out had it nickel plated we even painted the one cent for you this is some of your best work good yeah give it a shot [Music] [Music] I know you're not supposed to use two hands well that's a warm-up I can't say how amazing Bob is this thing looks spectacular and it looks so good I'm a little nervous to ask them if we stayed in the budget I am deeply impressed here this came out so good um so we still have 600 bucks no I said between six and seven so I don't want to hit seven then you'll get insulted so we'll push it down to 680. okay 680. I mean if I did sell it I could get over two grand but you know there's a lot of things that come in here and you know a lot of things I want to keep this thing I'm gonna keep this is badass that makes me feel good because I took pride in making sure this thing was absolutely like the original dude you're the best thank you let me get you paid man this thing looks absolutely amazing I hope my wife likes it as much as I do [Music] a guy came in with a badge from the New York fire department it looks pretty old but I have no idea how old it is so I called up Mark to come down and take a look at it ah there's the badge you called me about well do you mind if I take a little look at it oh feel free okay sure all right the New York fire department's the largest Fire Department in the United States over 10 000 members oh wow it is a huge fire department has a history that goes back to New Amsterdam to the 1640s the company the the 51 refers to the relief Hose Company there's a particular volunteer fire department and I called a friend of mine who's one of these fanatical fire collectors and when you told me it was badge 35 he looked that up and we were able to find out whose badge This was oh wow yeah this was a particular individual a fellow named Thomas mccrane and he was a bachelor actually lived at the firehouse and this would have been the badge that he would have carried so what are your concerns on the piece um is it real and I wanted to kind of get a better date on it Jim well Independence right it's yeah it's real it's original and I know that this particular badge was issued in 1865. so it was probably made a little earlier than that but that's when it was issued well Mark you're the best thanks for coming in man not a problem thank you very much very good to meet you thank you sir appreciate it personally I like badges I've always found them interesting they speak a lot to the history of different forces and to see one in this kind of condition at this age this is a very nice piece you still won 500 bucks for it huh sounds like it's worth it even with all that great history behind it I'd offer you about 150 bucks so why do you think it's only worth 150 bucks I mean this is the New York fire department and it's a big deal there's just a lot of them out there man no one ever threw away Grandpa's Fire Department badge no one ever threw away Grandpa's police badge you know they've all been passed down generation to generation and I am about 150 bucks is where I'm at I don't know man it seems like to me it should be worth a little bit more give me give me 300 at least you can do 300. I go two hundred bucks that's what I'll do that's the best you'll do absolutely positively all right all right Dale thanks bro feed me over there all right all right they only give me 200 for it but I'm in Vegas I'm gonna do something great with the money pal social media king is here about to go viable with these need chicken wings now it's the first one I also got I can Pawn in my sleep those

media marketing and um and we took these old pictures that we found and we had these made man I don't always work at the pawn shop but when I do I usually taking a nap you didn't put that yeah we did

yeah check out this boy [Laughter] yeah this is a 1920s uh English Channel buoy light I'm like super nerding out on this thing dude this is a handwritten intimate communication between the two biggest icons probably in entertainment history at my shop family comes first and money comes second depending on who you ask but the best part you never know what's going to come through that door this is Pawn Stars foreign [Music] what do you got uh what I have here is an incredible piece of Hollywood history this is a handwritten love letter from Judy Garland to Frank Sinatra all right I would just assume that they were having a fling yeah you know I don't know a lot about Judy Garland but it makes perfect sense for Frank Sinatra I got the letter from a major movie memorabilia collector's estate this has really historical content in it nothing x-rated but you can definitely tell There Was An Intimate relationship going on okay that is definitely cool I know in the 60s I mean like one of the highest rated shows a network ever had was the Judy Garland Frank Sinatra Dean Martin special something like that and um she had a pretty amazing career I mean most of the celebrities down there at the time sort of all hung out together because they were celebrities and it was really hard to go out public yeah do you have this thing transcribed or anything it's just yes starts off uh my darling my son depacha is a complete surprise to me and I am deeply disappointed to have to miss our Monday and Tuesday date so was she married at this time yes okay yeah the other thing I want to mention is if you hold it up to the light you'll see embossed within the paper Judy Garland well that makes it really cool actually makes it a little bit cooler magic yeah it was always rumored that Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland had a friendship that was more than a friendship so it's pretty cool to actually see some proof that they did have a romantic relationship anything with their names on it is going to be worth some good money I think it's really cool how much you want for it fifteen thousand fifteen thousand dollars um quite frankly sounds a little high do you mind if I have one of my guys look at it I got some questions on value I just want to give this opinion yeah so if you don't mind hanging out a little bit I'm gonna give my friend a call come take a look at it then we'll talk price all right sounds good hang out for a few minutes I know it's absolutely real the letter it has her embossed name inside the paper everything just is overwhelming that it's authentic but I don't mind anyone looking at it what in the world do we got here man I've got a replica of the 1954 Universal classic monster the Creature from the Black Lagoon different where in the world to get this it's been in my collection for 16 years and it was signed by the original actor who played Gilman the creature of the Black Lagoon what a great career right yeah it basically was a creature that they discovered in the Amazon he ended up getting the girl and the hero had to save her at the end of the movie It's just something that really scared me in those days this is pretty cool man so where'd you get it I bought it at a store in Southern California back in 1998 and that night Ben was there signing autographs and I have the pictures of him standing next to him of course I was much younger and had a little bit more hair in those days okay so why the Creature From A Black Lagoon just a big fan or you know the movie itself really intrigued me and scared me back in the 1950s when I originally saw it yeah it was pretty much like the last of the classic horror films after that and everything for a while anyways was kind of nuclear war based there was a monster of some kind it was because of radioactive War yeah so you got something else in your hand this is a short version of the film it's a super eight from the 50s itself and then these glasses were the glasses that you had to wear to watch it in 3D and that's why people stop watching movies in 3D like that the Creature from the Black Lagoon is a great horror movie from the 1950s some people say that the opening underwater shots and Jaws are a tribute to the movie since Steven Spielberg was a big fan of the Black Lagoon so it's a pretty iconic movie so what are you looking to do with it man I'm looking at twenty two hundred dollars thing is I don't know how long it's going to take to sell I'd like to pay more around the 1600 mark online 3 500 is what they're going for 22 is a steal at that price I'll drop down to two grand and that includes this also tell you what do 1800 bucks and it sold how about 1900. all right got a deal okay meet me over here we'll go do some paperwork right all right it's a good price I would have liked to have got the 22 but I understand they've got to make a couple dollars off of their items I'm happy I'm very happy I got the price for it [Music] thank you thank you Sean you want to find this revolver location cards not there I can't find it nowhere yeah I'll find it whoa Swamp Thing kind of Creature from the Black Lagoon I thought you just had a statue of yourself made it looks more like you baldy whatever I absolutely love this all those four flicks from the 50s are so great they I mean they just have such ridiculously low budgets they're not even scary but there's no guts or blood or have you seen the horror movies today yes I've seen the horror flicks today and there's they're ridiculous they're a lot they're a lot scarier they're not scary they're stupid it's all special effects you know it's not real so you're saying nothing scares you not stuff like that no look I mean there's just plenty of stuff that scares you yeah I'm gonna find something that scares you the only thing that scares me is you guys helped me run my business [Music] hey rig remember me how's it going man there you go I'm good man this is uh this is cool check out this boy yeah this is a 1920s uh English Channel Bowie light it's all solid brass I'm like super nerding out on this thing dude it is uh red buoy because it marks the red side of the channel so when you're entering from sea what Sailors always said was red right returning from sea so you want to pass a Red Bull on your right side I'm looking to get 2 500 because I like to help my daughter I went to college things like this were so important um yeah it was until after World War II that there was like a commercial radio guidance system for ships you know before that I mean when you navigated if it was cloudy where you could see the stars of the sun you navigated by the seat of your pants basically you know you could be to a point where I don't know if I'm 100 miles from the shore or I'm two miles from the shore that's what these things did this foghorns and lighthouses and that's how they navigated everything these things saved you know countless lives countless amounts of money you can open it up yeah yeah so let's see here basically it's just a really simple torch and um this right here I guess this is the Limestone right here that it blasts again that gets red hot it's a weird system you take the acetylene gas which burns really hot you burn that against a piece of limestone and Limestone when it gets really really hot suddenly starts blowing out all kinds of light you know that's why they say in old movies you've heard the expression in the Limelight yes I have because that's way back in the day that's what they used to light the stages with because it was so bright I mean this thing is really really cool man let's uh let's get the thing back together okay I absolutely love stuff like this I mean it's a great design and it's an incredible shape remember this thing was in the ocean for years and years I've dealt with Gus before and he's pretty tough on his prices sometimes but I really like this so I'm hoping he comes to terms how much you want for it I like to get 2 500 for this piece and that's what you would like to get for it what would you take for it well foreign make me an offer make me an offer I can't resist it's deeply cool I'll give you 1500 bucks for it can you do 22. can we compromise at like 1700 1815 we got a deal so 1800. 1800 is all right cool man this is uh this is great I um I love this thing let's go do some paperwork okay just leave it here all right it'd be cool I'm happy with eighteen hundred dollars I'm gonna give my daughter the whole 1800 because I'm just such a good dad have you seen my glasses [Music] come on this is not scary it doesn't even look like a real there's not even a real spider like that you're gonna scare me with this um I mean I was trying to yeah uh try a little harder guys a lot harder a guy came in asking a lot of money for what seems to be a handwritten love letter from Judy Garland to Frank Sinatra I'm not sure what this thing is worth so I called in Steve to take a look so this is the letter it's from Judy Garland to Frank Sinatra which is pretty cool and he says the original envelope written to Frank Sinatra I mean I'm just more intrigued by Sinatra Garland because that was about 1948-49 range they became kind of friends maybe lovers though the interesting thing is she was married you know to different guys all through that range it's a need letter I mean it definitely you read this letter you don't even have to read between the lines there's definitely something going on so what do you think is this is it all legit okay first thing I want to do is look at the ink on it and what I look for is overlapping kind of how the Ink's on there and it would appear to be found pen no question about it so we know the Ink's live that's a good thing here's a nice example again what she does with their handwriting she's not fully connecting everything it's sort of cursive it's sort of not and if you take a look here we're starting to see some of the same type of patterns we've got a bunch of positives here we know the Ink's live um the story is definitely Drive about her and Sinatra especially from that period so it's in her hand yeah unquestionably real no doubt about it okay did my other big concern what's it worth her value has been kept down by the massive stuff of her out there I mean it's just it's available it's pretty spectacular in terms of Hollywood relationships especially during that period I would easily put the value ballpark at about three thousand dollars maybe thirty five hundred dollars because the content is pretty important okay thanks man yeah good to see you good luck man thank you very much I really know the marketplace for Signature and you know unfortunately a lot of checks documents on her that are kind of out there it brings her signature value down a little bit so I kind of based my opinion based on what her autograph goes for in the marketplace Steve really knows what he's talking about so I'm gonna go with my guy I'm looking at um 1500 bucks I mean this is really an intimate communication between the two biggest icons probably in entertainment history this is an extraordinary piece it's really cool and I think you're being unrealistic with a price of fifteen thousand I think it's anybody who appreciates the history of Hollywood just jump over the rainbow to get this thing yeah and I could make money at 1500 bucks yeah I I don't think we can work that out okay good luck to you man thanks fifteen hundred dollars wasn't even in the right ballpark I know at an auction it would sell probably upwards of ten thousand foreign age in the conference room [Music] boo really well I guess you're not scared of anything [Music] hi hey how you doing very good I have something all the way from Bayonne New Jersey the good old back tracks huh remember this this thing's pretty cool it's a self-contained video system it's got the screen it's got the controller right down here right you just pop that yes controller pulls out I'm guessing you chose this because it was portable yeah this was considered portable for 1982. ha the Vex tracks game system it was state of the art much better than any system that was available at the time this one is in Stellar condition it still works after 32 years and when I fired it up I was actually shocked that the sound and the visuals were perfect okay so you got it when it came out yes well I mean it's a pretty cool system they come loaded up with games already right well one game's loaded up and then you can buy cartridges separately for other games um I just have the self-contained game okay we mind if I plug it in oh please do yes the vectrax was considered way ahead of its time when it first released it was even dubbed a mini arcade but technology moves fast and eventually it faded but if you were a teenager in the 80s you definitely wanted one of these which means there's definitely a market for something like this you got to do like rapid fire with your finger oh man all right so it's pretty cool I see it all works sounds good yeah it works good the buttons are still in good condition how much do you want for it I was asking 200. I know stuff like this can be collectible Nintendo Sega 1982 that error that's some of the most collectible stuff the problem is you know vectric it was almost done in 1984 you know but that doesn't mean it's not collectible it's just something that's a little bit out of my area of expertise even though it's a video game but my friend Johnny owns a toy Shack it's about a half mile down the road if you got 15 minutes or so he could be up here I'm sure all right perfect thanks so much I'll be right back there's no doubt in my mind that the system is collectible and it's going to get a decent dollar for it [Music] [Music] what's up dude what's up man Mindstorm I'm pretty good at this game a guy came in with a backtrex video game system from the 80s it's definitely cool and I imagine a bunch of 80s kids would buy it to relive their youth I'm just not sure how much it will sell for so I asked Johnny to come down and check it out what do you think dude this is classic man 82 when this first came out I mean there was a lot of game systems at the time but this was ahead of its time I mean it was a quality product you know back then not everybody had two TVs in the house so I mean it was a pretty cool option for your young kids you know you have an all-in-one system had its own monitor so the kids didn't have to take over the family television you know they could take this to the room or they could carry this to the friend's house wherever they went I mean it was all together the vectrex only had 28 games and then it also had you had the 3D goggles which was pretty cool and it had a light pin it was well thought and well executed and a lot of these systems that survived still work today this was so cool because it came internally with this game Mindstorm if you got to the 13th level it would crash and people would call and Mindstorm too they'd send you in the mail you know and that's a pretty rare game I never got there I got to 10. oh really it was kind of hard to get there anyway so not that many people called so what do you think it's worth well overall I mean it looks clean you know Gamers now I mean this system has a lot of respect I mean I was just at a classic Gaming Expo and they still produce games for this system really yeah every year there's a guy out there you know producing a game for this system absolutely so I mean it still has a huge following uh the guys who collect these are the guys that already have the Ataris the Nintendos and their chasing systems like this and the Odyssey and these have become really collectible unfortunately we don't have the boxes we don't have additional games we don't have some of the other accessories in this condition you could easily on a retail price you could pull maybe in the 250 275 range I could see this going for okay and you can see a lot of guys jump on it that tells me what I need to know see you later man take care if Chum's able to pick this up I don't think he'll have any problem moving it to any guy that grew up in the 1980s or anybody that plays games out there can relate to this good news yeah it is good news um give you 100 bucks for it 100 I was asking two it's worth 275 retail you got 75 in it and they're so rare and it's such a great system I mean about 175. see I think if you can go 150 I'll deal right now I'm hoping to get 275 out of it if I get 250 out of it I just need to be comfortable to where I can make 100 bucks you know what um 150 is fair I'll accept that price all right thank you so much yeah just uh meet me right over there at the counter okay I thought 150 was on the low side but considering I didn't have accessories for it I thought it was fair I am no longer a gamer I've moved on to doing other things with my time but I'm sure someone is going to get some great use out of it Rick you want some nuts [Music] that was good you know it nothing like that scares me I'll tell you Rick what you're scared of when you were a kid you were scared of dogs [Laughter] dogs that's pathetic dogs are man's best friend maybe it's because when I was six years old you brought home some Mongrel dog that ended up mauling me and I got 20 stitches in my back that might make a little kid scared of dogs for a while you know what's scary don't you 20 years from now you're going to look I can't bald headed and fat [Music] now that's scary
