20 SUPER RARE HIGH VALUE ITEMS — Pawn Stars

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Hey, how's it going? OK. What do we got? Uh, cool bazooka toy. Cool. That's really cool until you walk into an airport with it. Then you're going to jail. Yeah. I don't want to do that. I mean, it looks very real for it being a toy. You know about what year it was? I think it was about 50 years ago, like the early '60s, something like that. OK, yeah. [00:00:26] Speaker 2: It would make sense. I mean, dads would come home and tell their kids about what they used in the wars and stuff like that. Yeah. And everybody wanted a bazooka, you know? [00:00:34] Speaker 1: I mean, it was like the ultimate weapon. I know even when I saw it in the attic, I thought, oh, wow, that was cool, so. See, the cool thing about a bazooka was that, you know, [00:00:45] Speaker 2: unlike a rocket-propelled grenade, this thing, when you shot something, actually detonated on impact, which is what made them really valuable. A rocket-propelled grenade can hit a tank, bounce off it, ricochet 20 feet, and blow it that way. I mean, a single guy can take out a tank with one of these. [00:01:01] Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive. Yeah. So how's it work? This pulls back. I think it's, like, spring-loaded. And you take one of the missiles and-- Now, do you want to shoot it or-- Yeah, let me check it out. So what, you just pull the trigger now? Yeah. It should be ready to go. All right. Hey, pops. Damn, son. [00:01:30] Speaker 2: Oh, . You all right? I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't call it harmless. We'll see you. No. I'm sure my dad will be all right after he cries it off for a few hours. But this goes to show you, toys have come a long way in the safety department in the past few years. [00:01:52] Speaker 1: Any idea of what you're looking to get out of it? Yeah, I mean, this is, like, 50 years old, still all the original box, so I think it's really a unique item. If I left with $500, that'd be a real good day. OK. I'll tell you what, man, let me call a buddy of mine up and see if he can give me an idea of what these are worth. I don't know. You might want to call a doctor for your dad, too. I don't. He's a tough guy. I'm sure he can take it. Let me, uh, give my buddy a call, man. I'll, uh, be back in a little bit. To have somebody get hit with it, I mean, your first thing is, who's going to sue me? I hope he's OK, and I hope this doesn't screw up my deal. What happened to your eye, man? A Remco Bazooka. Oh, man. Yeah, that smelled up fast. You're a little , Cory. Well, at least we know it works. Now, I'm not responsible for any of this, am I? The equivalent to the Remco Bazooka nowadays [00:02:46] Speaker ?: would be a kid playing on his PS3 or Xbox. [00:02:49] Speaker 3: Kids in the old days would have played outdoors in the neighborhood. When Remco came out with this, they had to play with a kid playing on his PS3 or Xbox. [00:02:57] Speaker ?: Kids in the old days would have played outdoors [00:02:58] Speaker 3: in the neighborhood. They came out with this. They had a whole line of toys. It was all, like, jungle guerrilla warfare. And they had everything from guns to knives, helmets, canteens. Oh. You named it, they made it. I mean, this was in the Vietnam era. Kids were seeing images of war on TV, and kids wanted to emulate that through the toys. This would have been on everybody's Christmas list in 1962. Everything looks like it's here. And if I take a closer look just to see what we got. [00:03:27] Speaker 4: Just unload it, name it. [00:03:29] Speaker 3: It's very uncommon to see these in good condition. All this here is cardboard. Well, this is cardboard. This is plastic. So you're outside playing with it. You leave it outside. It's very easy for rain or get dried out or ripped or torn. Really, really nice condition. Let me look at the inside of the box. We got all the missiles here. We got the original target. We got the instructions. That should make it a lot easier to sell, definitely. So what do you think it's worth? Well, after looking at everything, seeing that it's 100% complete, that you got all the original paperwork, in this condition, maybe in the $4 to $450 range. Pushing it a little bit, but you could ask $500 for this piece. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Put some ice on that, man. All right, man. Take care. I was really excited to see this toy in the condition it was in. It's a great piece, and I hope the guys buy it, because if they do, they should have no problem selling it. [00:04:28] Speaker 2: You heard my guy. I can realistically expect to sell it for $500 on a good day. That being said, I can't pay you $500, otherwise I'd make no money. [00:04:38] Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll offer you around $200 for it. Yeah, I'd really like to get closer to $500, so. $350, man. That's the most I'm going to pay you for it. Think we could meet in the middle? No, we're not. $350, man. $375, come on. Everything's intact. God, this guy overs-- [00:05:04] Speaker 2: All right, you know what? You beat me. All right, $375. There we go. Dad, you want to write them up? No. I'll meet you over there. $375 is a decent price, but still a little more than I wanted to pay for this death trap. And on top of that, I'm sure my dad's never going to shut up about the black eye. [00:05:21] Speaker 5: We have a World War II German Enigma coding machine. [00:05:26] Speaker 4: An Enigma. These are amazing. I've seen pictures of them. I've read about them. I've never actually seen one in person. I mean, this thing was responsible for the rise and the fall of the entire German war machine. Where in the world did you get this? [00:05:40] Speaker 5: My father and I have an Enigma museum, and we treasure hunt. [00:05:45] Speaker 4: This thing won't make me understand women, will it? That's an enigma. During World War II, if a German commander wanted to send a secret message to his troops out in the field, this is what he used, and the Germans thought this machine was completely unbreakable. I'm surprised any of them survived. [00:06:02] Speaker 5: Not many did. There are three that I know of in the United States on display right now. One is at a science museum in Chicago, one is at the NSA's crypto museum in Washington, and one is at the International Spy Museum. At the end of the war, they would destroy these in the field rather than let them fall into the hands of the enemy. So more often than not, they are in horrendous condition. [00:06:24] Speaker 4: Now, this one right here, I mean, you actually found it and attacked? [00:06:27] Speaker 5: No, this machine has parts that have been replaced. OK, so these are extra rotors. [00:06:32] Speaker 4: That's a reproduction box with two rotors. OK. This thing is so incredibly cool. Cracking the Enigma code was one of the top projects of World War II. It took years to do it, but in the end, it did save millions of lives. I really want this thing, but I've never had one in my shop. I need someone to look at it. I'm out of my league here. And how much do you want for it? [00:06:59] Speaker 5: $149,300. [00:07:04] Speaker ?: Whew. [00:07:05] Speaker 4: That's an odd number. I think it's a fair price. My big problem is, I've seen them sell for $200,000. I've seen them sell for $30,000. And you look at them, they all look the same. So I'm going to call on a friend who knows a little bit more than I do about these things and see if he can figure it out. All right. Hey, what's up, man? Good to see you. What do you got? A mystery wrapped in a riddle? Yeah, it's an enigma machine. It's pretty cool. Coolest thing about these things is that they named it the enigma. [00:07:38] Speaker 6: Right, right. That is cool. [00:07:40] Speaker 4: If I had a dog, that's what I'd name him. [00:07:43] Speaker 6: I do have a dog. He's an idiot. My name is Will Willis. I'm a former Army Ranger and Air Force pararescue man. And I specialize in military items. The hardest part of being in the military for me was getting a haircut every week. Nothing like having a baby slick head for four years makes you think that hair is kind of nice. It's one of the coolest things that's ever been in the shop. It really is. Yeah, it is-- it is a really cool thing. And it's really significant when you talk about being able to encrypt your messages to your generals and your soldiers. You know, having a machine like this that allows you to send those messages in secret is really a critical thing. And it was critical to us, the Allied forces, to be able to decipher these messages. And when we decrypted the machines, it shortened the war by two years. Yeah, this is like uber nerd cool. It really is. Germany's foreign policy was to conquer the world during World War II. So making them believe that their messages were encrypted in secret was critical towards winning that war in a shorter period of time. So which parts were missing when you found it? The warning plate and the rotors. OK. Do we have matching serial numbers throughout? We do not. OK, so how many rotors match the machine itself? None. OK. A serial number wasn't what drove the process. The rotor number was. But the serial number drives price. [00:09:11] Speaker 4: OK. [00:09:12] Speaker 6: All right. I know the price of these things are all over the place. Right. The most expensive one went for over $200,000. We've got three matched rotors with serial numbers. They don't match the machine itself. The box doesn't have a serial number on it. We've got a recreated box. And considering what things have been selling for that are unrestored with matching serial numbers, numbers I would price this at $70,000 altogether. Well, I think my price is fair. Yeah, because he was asking $149,300. Well, the most expensive one that ever sold was for $200,000. That one was in a movie. I think the more fair price is $70,000 for everything. Hmm. Well, thanks, man. You got it. I think that sellers get this perception that, like, I put in all this work. It's worth way more than what it really is. [00:10:12] Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Will on this one. I'd give you $50,000 for it. I can't do that. I mean, what is your lowest number? [00:10:26] Speaker 5: $115,000. We're way too far off. [00:10:33] Speaker 4: We just are. Thanks for coming in. Thank you. All right. This really sucks, because the likelihood of another one coming in my shop is not good. But we are over $60,000 apart. And that's way too much ground to even try and cover. But you know what? I really did want that thing. [00:10:51] Speaker 7: What do you got? What I got here is a very rare Babe Ruth Boston Red Sox team photo from his 1915 rookie season. That is cool. [00:11:01] Speaker 4: I love Babe Ruth. The guy had a really interesting life. Did you know, apparently, at seven years old, he was so bad that his parents put him into reform school. Didn't want anything to do with him at seven years old, which I think is probably bad parents. [00:11:14] Speaker 7: Yeah, correct, correct. I bought the photo at an auction about seven years ago. There are only about five or six in existence of this type 1 variation. I'm asking $12,500. But the least I'll take is probably $9,000. [00:11:30] Speaker 4: A lot of people don't know that in 1914, 1915, to sign a legal document, it wasn't 18, it was 21. Correct. So the Red Sox more or less had to be his guardian. And I think the Yankees paid like $200,000 for him, which was just an enormous amount of money back then. I guess they thought he was that good. Right, right, right. But next thing you know, the biggest rock star-- I don't think there's ever been anyone as big as Babe Ruth. [00:11:59] Speaker 7: He transcends generations and generations. [00:12:03] Speaker 8: And this was a publicity photo of some sort? Correct. They put these in the newspapers. [00:12:09] Speaker 7: These are very rare. They tell me there's about six of this type 1 variation in existence. But the other one I've seen has pinholes in it. [00:12:18] Speaker 4: Anything Babe Ruth from this time period is worth money, if it's real. Over the years, there's been a lot of fake Babe Ruth stuff that's tried to sneak onto my shelves. I have to be extremely careful here. [00:12:30] Speaker 8: And what are you looking to do? Are you looking to sell it? I need to sell it. [00:12:34] Speaker 7: I'm asking a very reasonable $12,500. [00:12:38] Speaker 4: OK. I see you had it authenticated? [00:12:42] Speaker 7: Yes, a professional sports authenticator. [00:12:45] Speaker 4: OK. Why in the world did you open it up? The side is open, which means you can pull the photograph out and replace it with something else. [00:12:54] Speaker 7: It came straight from the auction house in this sleeve. I said, I don't want it in case, because I might want to frame it. [00:13:02] Speaker 4: OK. You might have a friend look at it. [00:13:07] Speaker 7: Have at it. OK, hang out. I'll be back in a few minutes. You got it. He can call an expert, but I verify my information. I pretty much know all there is to know. But yeah, he can go ahead and call whoever he wants. [00:13:18] Speaker 9: Man, 1915 Boston Red Sox? Mm-hmm. 20-year-old Babe Ruth. That's right. That is really cool. I mean, who could have possibly imagined what history had to store for this guy? With baseball being in its infancy and Babe Ruth came into the sport, you know, there's only a very few media outlets covering it. So having anything related to Babe Ruth surviving 100 years later is an amazing find. So I mean, one of the biggest urban legends in baseball is, you know, how did Babe Ruth get the name The Babe? The story goes back to his days when he was in the minor leagues with the Baltimore Orioles. Got by the name of Jack Dunn, kind of took him under his wing since he was underage at the time, and really took care of him. So his other teammates kind of busted his balls a little bit about it. You know, oh, he's Jackson, who's Babe, and everything. And it kind of stuck after that. [00:14:01] Speaker 4: Cool. Here's my concerns. [00:14:04] Speaker 9: OK. [00:14:06] Speaker 4: It's open. And everything I see PSA is generally sealed up. [00:14:14] Speaker 9: Sometimes. With PSA, you can have discretion as to whether you want it encapsulated or just stickered. In this case, it has just a sticker on it. And in looking at this one, I mean, the sticker, the letter, the condition, everything's authentic on this. [00:14:37] Speaker 4: OK. That's cool. OK, so the big question, what do you think it's worth? [00:14:42] Speaker 9: I can't emphasize how exceedingly rare it is to find an image of Babe Ruth, especially from his rookie year. So these are actually a really big deal. And honestly, man, in this kind of condition, on a good day, I'd say you could sell this for about 10 grand. OK. [00:14:58] Speaker ?: Thanks, man. [00:14:59] Speaker 9: You got it, man. But when we were talking about a photograph from his rookie season, 100 years old, there are far less of those out there than there are autographed baseballs or other items. I don't think it would last long in any retail setting. [00:15:10] Speaker 7: Well, verified. [00:15:12] Speaker 8: Hey, what's your best price on it? What about $12,000? There's no way in the world that's going to happen, [00:15:20] Speaker 4: because I don't think I can get that much out of it. You heard Jeremy, on a good day, I could sell it for $10,000. So I'll give you $7,000. $7,000. Wow. You heard what the man said. They rarely come up. I think it'll sell fast. [00:15:33] Speaker 7: I really do. $11,000. No. I will go $7,000. I take all the risk. I have stuff all over the place in here that I thought would sell real quick. [00:15:42] Speaker 4: Will you do $8,500? No, I will go $7,000. I will go $7,000. I take all the risk. I have stuff all over the place in here that I thought would sell real quick. [00:15:52] Speaker 7: Will you do $8,500? [00:15:55] Speaker 4: No, I will do $7,000. That's what I can do. [00:15:59] Speaker 7: I've come down. You haven't bumped up, not even a nickel. [00:16:03] Speaker 4: I will bump up a dime. [00:16:08] Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think I can let it go for that price. But thanks anyway. All right, thanks for coming in, though. All right, OK. I'm disappointed he didn't budge from $7,000. I thought he would at least come up $500. Well, it looks like it's back to the auction houses and see if I can get a little more money for it. [00:16:22] Speaker 10: How are you doing today? [00:16:23] Speaker 11: Good. I brought you in a very rare book. You have a book. Um, you know what? My boss is right here. Hold on a quick second. [00:16:30] Speaker 12: Hey, Rick, do you have a second to look at a book? [00:16:33] Speaker 13: Sure. Today was actually kind of weird. I was just looking at a book with Rick, and another one came in. It was just perfect timing. [00:16:40] Speaker 10: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Classic of American literature. This is actually the salesman's sample for Tom Sawyer. OK, that is definitely cool. I consider it the holy grail of Mark Twain collecting. All right, there you go. I really had great timing. The book expert was actually in the shop and ready to look at it. The book is sort of like the preview for a movie. These are excerpts from Tom Sawyer. I'm prepared for tough negotiation. I've been here a few times. They always have their eye on the profit. 1876, Tom Sawyer came out. You know, Mark Twain, he was an amazing marketer. This was a period where books were normally sold in book shops. And he decided with his publisher that he would send salesmen around trying to get, you know, sales of his up-and-coming book. When you open it up, you have different binding types, like you would offer a cloth binding at a certain price, or different types of leather bindings. [00:17:38] Speaker 13: Well, and that's why this book is interesting, even though it's not the first edition, is because it kind of shows the history of printing, how things would have been sold at this time. You get more of an eye into the things that you normally don't get to see, how things were done behind the scenes. [00:17:54] Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly. [00:17:55] Speaker 13: One of the reasons that Twain liked to sell by subscription is that he said that way people have already committed to buying the book before they know that it's bad. And he said that specifically about Tom Sawyer. [00:18:05] Speaker 10: Yeah, well, he was very worried how Tom Sawyer was going to do. You know, he wrote it as basically an adult book, but it kind of got branded as a boy's book, which sort of annoyed him. [00:18:15] Speaker 13: Yeah, he wasn't known for writing books about children, and this was a big departure for him. It was a big risk. Tom Sawyer was pretty controversial at the time because he was not a good person. He lies, he cheats, he steals, so this was really hard because he wasn't a good example for kids. [00:18:31] Speaker 10: Okay, so what do you want for it? Well, uh, I would like to get $10,000 out of it. What do you think? [00:18:39] Speaker 13: What do I think? Let's see. This is a really rare Mark Twain salesman's prospectus. Salesman's copies were thrown out after they had served their use. That being said, it's also quite beat up, and it's still not a first edition Tom Sawyer. With all of those things in mind, the value that I would place on at retail is probably between $9,000 and $10,000. Okay. [00:19:07] Speaker 4: I mean, I'm thinking five grand. I have to resell it. I have to make money. [00:19:14] Speaker 10: I mean, I tried to find out, and the Library of Congress doesn't even have a copy of the salesman's sample. It's that rare. [00:19:20] Speaker 13: He's right that this is a more rare salesman's sample of Twain than other works by him. [00:19:26] Speaker 10: Yeah, honestly, five grand is just too little for me to go. I mean, I want you to make a profit. Uh, I honestly didn't think $10,000 was unreasonable. Uh, I'll tell you what, at the end of Tom Sawyer, he finds gold. You know how much gold he finds? $5,000 worth. $6,000. Find $6,000 worth of gold. That's really the least I could take. And I think it gives you, uh-- I'll go $55. It's a fair price. You know it's a fair price. I actually think $6,000 is cheap. [00:20:01] Speaker 14: It was a little awkward to sit there during the negotiation. You want to put in your two cents, but it's not really your business. [00:20:07] Speaker 10: I really want to stick to $6. I'll go $5,500. $6,000, you will have a line of Twain collectors at your door, I promise you. [00:20:16] Speaker 4: Once you start getting over, like, $1,000, $2,000, the amount of people in this world that have the money to buy it and are willing to buy it dramatically falls off a cliff. [00:20:25] Speaker 15: Mm-hmm. [00:20:28] Speaker 10: It's honestly hard to give this one up for that. It's a-- it's a-- it's a very special book. How about, like, you know, Tom Sawyer, he swears on a blood oath. I'll do a blood oath at $5,500. [00:20:43] Speaker 4: $5,500. It's a deal. I'll meet you right over there, and I'll have someone write you up. [00:20:47] Speaker 10: $5,500 was honestly low. I think he's going to make a profit. But on the flip side, I think Mark Twain would be smiling to know that I got $5,500 for a book that was likely going to be thrown out in the 1800s. [00:20:59] Speaker 12: Rick, what's going on? Davey, what's up? I need some money. OK. Got a family heirloom. Let's check that out. It's a Coonsite. A Coonsite? Coonsite. You sure it's just not a fancy piece of glass? It's been in my family for generations and generations. That's all I know. [00:21:20] Speaker 4: They only discovered the stone light right around 1900. So it hasn't been for generations and generations. A generation? [00:21:30] Speaker 12: I come to see the guys at the pawn shop quite often. They can retail the stuff. I can't. I'm going to get $15,000 out of Rick. I mean, it's got to happen. I'd rather have the money than a pink gem. All right, do you know anything about it? Yeah, I guess it's an evening stone or something. [00:21:46] Speaker 4: Yeah, the reason they call it an evening stone is because Coonsite can actually fade in sunlight. So it's jewelry you're supposed to wear in the evening. They're really rare. More money? [00:21:57] Speaker 12: I'm going to have Jeff, my gemologist, check it out. What, you don't trust me? You don't think it's real? [00:22:04] Speaker ?: No, I don't. [00:22:05] Speaker 12: Come on. You know it's real. I thought me and Rick were better buddies because I didn't think he'd need to see a gemologist. You know what I mean? He didn't need no fancy machine to see that it was real. He could trust me. What's up, man? [00:22:17] Speaker 16: Davey says this is Coonsite. Well, that'd be cool. Let's do some tests. When Rick walked into my office, I was pretty excited because I don't always see Coonsite, let alone of one of this size. All stones have clarity characteristics which can help identify them. If it's glass, most likely there's going to be air bubbles. And so what I can see in here are inclusions that tell me that this is natural. So far, good news, right? Yeah. [00:22:51] Speaker 15: Yeah. [00:22:52] Speaker 16: Yeah. But I won't know if it's a natural Coonsite until I do other tests. It's Coonsite. It's a Coonsite. Not yet. We're going to find out if you're lying. This is a refractive index machine, and it measures the way light goes through the stone. And from that, we can tell if this is a natural Coonsite or if it's something else. And as I can see through here, it has the right refractive index to be Coonsite. So, yes, this is-- A real Coonsite. It is a natural Coonsite. Huh? I told you. I told you it was real. How much money? How much does it go for? Something of this nature with this size and with this color, I'd probably estimate $30 to $50 a carat. [00:23:38] Speaker 4: Okay. How many carats is away? [00:23:41] Speaker 16: 323.8 carats. [00:23:46] Speaker 4: So we're talking at $30 a carat right at $9,600 bucks right in that neighborhood? Yeah. Ballpark. All right. Thanks, Jeff. $30 to $50 a carat gives this a retail value of somewhere between $9,000 and $16,000. Knowing Davey, he's going to try and squeeze me for all it's worth. Well, it's real. [00:24:08] Speaker 12: I feel it's worth $15,000. [00:24:10] Speaker 4: $9,600 if I need one. I don't need one, okay? It's big. It deserves big money. I'll give you $5,000. I mean, just plain and simple. It's going to sit for a long time. [00:24:30] Speaker 12: $15,000, $5,000, $10,000. I'll go $10,000. I'll go $10,000. No. [00:24:34] Speaker 4: Please? I have to mount it in something, which is going to cost me a fortune because it's going to use a lot of gold because it's going to be a big mounting. Where are we going to end? Meet in the middle? $7,500? [00:24:44] Speaker 12: I'll give you $6,000. $7,500? $6,000. [00:24:47] Speaker ?: $6,500. [00:24:48] Speaker 12: $6,500. $6,500? [00:24:50] Speaker ?: $6,500. $6,500. I mean, things like that. [00:24:53] Speaker 12: You're winning. I was at $15,000. Come on, Rick. Be a little bit more reasonable. [00:25:04] Speaker ?: All right. [00:25:05] Speaker 12: $65,000. All right. Give me your ID. I don't hate Rick. I like doing business with Rick and Corey. But, you know, sometimes they win, sometimes I win. I mean, this one, they won. Don't make fun of my pitcher. I was much younger then. What do we got here? [00:25:24] Speaker 17: I have a signed letter from Napoleon from 1809. Whoa. He's right into his minister of war regarding gunpowder replacement. OK, cool. So is that his initials? That is his signature from that time period. OK. Looks a lot like mine, just-- This letter is different because it talks about gunpowder. Which I don't think there's many letters out there with that documented. I'm going to be asking 3,000. Napoleon was a great general. And he knew how to micromanage. And that's what I like the most. [00:26:04] Speaker 4: The little general. The little general. That's right. Napoleon was a really, really interesting guy. He was the lowest of the low when it comes to royalty. But since he was royalty, that really helped his rise to power. He was a little bit bad crazy. He'd work like 18, 19 hours a day. You know, the reason why he's bald right there is from pulling his hair out. Because he tried to do everything. Napoleon Bonaparte is considered one of the greatest military leaders in history. He had a little bit of an ego, though. When he was crowned emperor, he thought the only person actually worthy to put the crown on his head was himself. So I'm assuming you want to sell it? I do. All right. How much do you want for it? [00:26:50] Speaker 17: I'm asking 3,000. [00:26:54] Speaker 4: You know, I've been burned on Napoleon signatures before. And I don't want that happening again. So do you mind if I have someone look at it? Not at all. I'm going to give him a call. I'll get him down here. It'll take him 10 minutes. Sounds good. If this checks out, it could be worth some good money and is definitely sellable. So I called in Steve so he could take a look at it. Hey, Ben. Paulie-vous Francais? Uh, oui. Well, this is what I called you about. He says it's Napoleon. This letter is about talking to a general that we need more gunpowder. And if you think about it, that shouldn't be, you know, signed by Napoleon. That should be someone lower. But he was such a micromanager, he had to do it himself. [00:27:37] Speaker 18: Of course. That's just how the guy was. And it kind of lends to his character. So is this legit? Well, the first thing I want to do is I'd like to see it out of glass so I can see if it's printed or not. No problem. Can you take that out for me? Of course. You know, through the years I've seen my fair share of Napoleon signatures. They're kind of rushed, hurried, more or less sloppy. Like he just wanted to get through the stack of things he had to sign. So the first thing I'm going to do is just put this on top of it. We're going to just kind of look at the ink on here. See the ink right here? Yeah. You see how it kind of starts to cut through it here? And when I look deeper here, there's no doubt in my mind that's live ink on there. Okay, cool. The next thing I want to do is rule out any kind of secretarial versions or something else someone signed for him. The most typical Napoleon signature is more or less this style. So basically what we see is almost an NP. I mean, his P's a little oversized here. Here's another document. We'll take a look at it again. We see the same type of letter formations. He comes right under here. Look at this pressure he puts here. He's putting that pressure there. [00:28:43] Speaker 4: So you think it's 100% legit? [00:28:46] Speaker 18: No question about it, yeah. Wow. All great signs, yeah. Great piece. Good, good, good, good. Okay, so what's it worth? The marketplace has really been flooded with this guy's signature. There's a lot of it out there. And, you know, collectors still collect it, but you don't have a tidal wave of people trying to rush out and get Napoleon signatures. Based on all that, the value of this is right about $1,500. Okay. Well, thanks, man. Appreciate it. Yeah, good to see you. Good luck with that, man. Thanks. Nice talking to you. You know, I think a piece signed by Napoleon, especially framed up with a picture of him. I think that's something that I was going to go pretty quick, because people do know this guy. He's a big part of world history, and he's still a desirable autograph. [00:29:31] Speaker 4: So you're not going to give me $3,000, are you? No. Well, not when I can probably sell it for right around $1,500. There's definitely value here. I mean, it's not like it's worthless, but, you know, $1,500 is a lot of money for someone to spend on an autograph. I'm going to give you $2,000. [00:29:47] Speaker ?: I'm going to give you $2,000. [00:29:48] Speaker 4: Why in the world would I ever do $2,000 when I can sell it for $1,500? Okay? I'll tell you what. I will give you a grant. [00:29:55] Speaker ?: I can't do it. Thanks for bringing it in, man. Thank you. Change your mind. Come and see me. [00:30:00] Speaker 4: Okay. [00:30:02] Speaker 17: I'm pretty disappointed, because I just figured that it was worth more based on the contents of the letter. I guess I'll take it back home, put it in my collection, and wait another 200 years, and see if it'll go up in value from there. What do you have here? [00:30:18] Speaker 11: I have a pair of brass duck foot pistols. Oh, wow. Those are pretty cool. These are volley pistols that were made for a British naval officer in the 18th century. Mind if I grab one? Go right ahead. [00:30:30] Speaker 15: I see why they call him a duck foot. Looks like a little duck foot. It does. Running through the water. Even though I'm not supposed to deal with high priced items, these guns are some of the coolest things that I've seen coming to the shop. I can't let this guy walk. It's time to prove to Rick he's not the only one that can wheel and deal. What do you want to do with them? I'd like to sell them. Okay, how much are you looking to get for them? I'm interested. I'm asking $50,000. $50,000? Um, I mean, it could be possible if you let me take these to the gun range and fire them. I'm fine with that. I'd like to fire them too. All right, well, you got time today? I'm free all afternoon. [00:31:12] Speaker 11: All right, we'll meet out at the gun range in, say, about an hour and a half. Okay, that sounds good to me. All right, I'll write the address down. I'll be right back. Okay. I think once we get out on the range and he actually fires them, I think we're going to make a deal. [00:31:24] Speaker 15: Well, you guys look really busy. Oh, just--I was waiting for you to get back, actually. I've got to take the rest of the day out of the shop, but I'm still going to be working. What--what are you going to do? I just--I'm about to go purchase a gun, duck foot, pistol. I need to go make sure it works. I told the guy to meet me at the range. And how much are you going to buy this for? Well, he said $50, but he was just throwing it in-- $50? $1,000, but he was just throwing it in about there. [00:31:48] Speaker 4: Okay, I'm definitely going with you then. [00:31:49] Speaker 15: No, I got it. Trust me. I'm going with you. Don't worry about it. [00:31:52] Speaker 4: I got this. Trust me. I will meet you guys out there. What? I was more or less forced to come out to the gun range because Chum set up a time to meet him at the range and test him out. I asked Alex to come down to meet us because I needed a second opinion because I unequivocally do not trust Chum. So what do we got here? [00:32:07] Speaker 11: I have a pristine pair of duck's foot pistols. Whoa. [00:32:13] Speaker 4: Well, those are cool. Wow. [00:32:15] Speaker 19: Check that out. [00:32:16] Speaker 20: Wow, Chum, you actually didn't screw this up. I told you. The real term for this is a volley pistol. And the reason they designed this, though, it was for crowd control. So any time that you might have a mass of people trying to get you, you would want a volley pistol in your hand. Oh, wow. And look, you guys see that mark? It has a V and there's a crown over it. Yeah. Those are British proof marks. Basically, they passed a law because they didn't want gun makers making bad guns that would blow up and kill people who were firing them. So in England, any time you made a gun, you had to submit it to the proof house. They would put three times the amount of powder in it that it was supposed to be able to handle. If it didn't blow up, they stamped it with a V with a crown. It means viewed. So each of these barrels is viewed. That's a really good sign. Sweet. [00:33:00] Speaker 4: Okay. So it's all right with you if we shoot them? Yes. Go right ahead. All right. [00:33:06] Speaker 20: We'll load them up. All right, Chum. That is cocked and ready to fire. Corey? Chum, you're first. [00:33:14] Speaker 4: Chums didn't all fire at once. They went pop, pop, pop. [00:33:26] Speaker ?: Yep. [00:33:27] Speaker 2: Me now. Yeah. That was not what I was expecting at all. Did I hit anything? Yeah. [00:33:39] Speaker 20: Yeah, you got to hit. Here. And you got there. That's two, three, four. Oh, wow. Chum got one. [00:33:56] Speaker 4: You had four barrels and you shot the target once. What? [00:34:04] Speaker 2: So, I mean, I know they're cool, but what are they worth? They're the real deal. [00:34:08] Speaker 20: They're rare. They're really early by a known maker, and they fire. These are not inexpensive pistols. I value them at $45,000. [00:34:19] Speaker ?: Whew. [00:34:20] Speaker 20: Okay. Well, man, I really appreciate you coming down. You're welcome. Thank you. Good luck. Nice to meet you. Thank you. Yeah. You're welcome. All right. I'm looking for $50,000. I do think it's worth for the shop to purchase them, because they're never going to see a pair like this again. [00:34:34] Speaker 11: So what are you looking to get out of them? I was looking for $50,000. [00:34:38] Speaker 2: You know I can't pay that. I'm more in the $20,000 range. Can you come down a little bit, or-- Would you accept $40,000? I'll tell you what, man. I can do $30,000. That's the most I can do. [00:34:52] Speaker 11: Would you do $35,000? [00:34:54] Speaker 2: I wouldn't. $30,000 is what I can do. [00:34:58] Speaker 11: Sorry I can't take anything less than $35,000. [00:35:02] Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it, my man. Thank you. Maybe next time. [00:35:06] Speaker 11: Take care. I wasn't able to make a deal today with the Volley Pistols, but, you know, I think that I'm going to have to fend off a whole crowd of buyers once I get them back out there. [00:35:14] Speaker 21: I have probably the world's number one Pokemon collection inside this case. Little figures? Cards. And they're all Charizards. Which is the number one Pokemon guy. OK, hold on one second here. Yes. Chump. [00:35:29] Speaker 4: Yeah? This guy's got Pokemon cards. Rick. [00:35:32] Speaker 15: It's not Pokemon. It's Pokemon. [00:35:35] Speaker 21: OK. I'm here to sell my Pokemon collection. I got into Pokemon collecting with my sons, and eventually they grew up and went to college, and I never did grow up. So I continued with Pokemon for the last 17 years. [00:35:51] Speaker 15: This is pretty cool, man. [00:35:53] Speaker 21: Absolutely. [00:35:54] Speaker 15: So, Rick, you don't know about Pokemon? [00:35:56] Speaker 4: It's like a game like eight-year-old kids play, right? [00:35:59] Speaker 15: Basically, each player has a deck of 60 cards, and you battle with your Pokemon by pulling cards out of your deck and getting enough energy points so that you can attack your other player. You'd win by your opponent not having any Pokemon left. It's really popular. They have whole tournaments where 1,000 people enter, and they have Pokemon battles. [00:36:21] Speaker 4: OK. I really don't understand why Pokemon is such a big deal, but if something like a Beanie Baby can become worth a lot of money, maybe these can too. I just need to know a lot more. They're pretty cool. [00:36:32] Speaker 15: Actually, some of them can be worth a lot of money. So these go for a lot of money? [00:36:35] Speaker 4: Yes. What's your most expensive one? [00:36:38] Speaker 21: The most expensive card is probably the Pristine 10, first-edition-based Charizard. The card itself is considered the crown jewel of the Pokemon world. And how much is that worth? In the range of $50,000 to $100,000. Whoa. And people pay that for these? Yeah, especially now with the new Pokemon craze. [00:36:55] Speaker 15: I know you heard of the new game out. The new Pokemon game everyone's playing on their phone. [00:37:00] Speaker 21: Pokemon Go. [00:37:02] Speaker ?: No. [00:37:03] Speaker 15: You just walk around until you find one, and then you sling Pokeballs on it. Maybe you need an Ultra Ball. OK. [00:37:09] Speaker 21: So how much do you want for these things? I'm looking for right in the area of $500,000. Do you mind if I have someone look at this? [00:37:19] Speaker 4: That's fine. I'll be right back. It's just baffling. [00:37:23] Speaker 15: Yeah, he doesn't know what to think right now. [00:37:24] Speaker 21: Right. Mm-hmm. Pokey man. It seems to me the one who's going to make the decision really doesn't know what he's looking at. I'm happy that the expert is coming in to educate the fellow. He's going to know what these are selling for and the future collectible value of them. [00:37:39] Speaker 4: I'm sort of like in a baffled cloud here. What can I do for you guys today? He's got Pokey man cards and-- Pokey mon. OK. So, Pokey mon cards. And he says they're worth a half a million dollars, and it just doesn't make any sense to me. [00:37:55] Speaker 22: Well, there's a lot of cards here, Rick. So, Pokemon started in Japan in '95. Probably about 2000 to 2002 is when it really took off. So that's why these first edition cards are really hard to find, because you still hadn't created like this large market for what it became. And Charizard's like one of the best characters in the game. He's also one of the most collectible characters in the entire Pokeverse. So-- Hold on. [00:38:20] Speaker ?: The Pokeverse. [00:38:21] Speaker 4: The Pokeverse. [00:38:22] Speaker 22: The Pokeverse. The Pokemon world. Yes, sir. OK. Rated 10s, I believe there's less than 50 PSA 10s in existence. And by looking at this, there's 20% of the market sitting on your counter. I look at this collection, and I just can't believe my eyes. There's pristine 10s everywhere. Charizard being one of the top collectible pieces in Pokemon. I-- this is a one-of-a-kind collection. [00:38:50] Speaker 4: What do you think this stuff is worth? [00:38:52] Speaker 22: So this one here, there's only one of them in existence. There's no other grade at a 10. Beckett grades so much harsher than PSA does when it comes to giving their 10 stamp. This card could go $30,000 to $40,000. Altogether, I'm estimating anywhere from $380,000 to $390,000 for this collection. Really? [00:39:15] Speaker 4: Obviously, this guy is a little upset over Steve's appraisal, but I'm absolutely blown away. These are really, really interesting. I mean, you actually have lots of value here. But my problem with these is if I go to sell them, I can't have any conversation about them, because I know absolutely nothing. I don't even know what a Charizard does. Well, it depends on which one. OK, all right, chump, chump. I-- [00:39:36] Speaker 15: Rick, throw them out an offer. [00:39:38] Speaker 4: I'm not going to make an offer. It's just-- it's out of my skill set completely, 100%. I'm not going to be able to sell something I don't understand whatsoever. [00:39:46] Speaker 15: So I'll make him an offer. [00:39:51] Speaker 4: Not with my money. I don't have the knowledge or expertise to sell these things. Thanks for bringing it in. Thank you. [00:39:58] Speaker 15: $380,000 worth of Charizard. [00:40:02] Speaker 4: I still don't know the difference between a Pokemon and a Charizard. Actually, Charizard is a Pokemon. Yeah. [00:40:09] Speaker 23: Hey, how's it going? Pretty good. How about yourself? Good. What do we got here? Well, I have a pre-revolutionary document from 1774. It's the extracts from the votes and proceedings of the American Continental Congress. [00:40:22] Speaker 4: OK. Right? This is like the pre-Declaration of Independence. Great Britain was really getting on our nerves. This is basically where they're complaining to Great Britain about just them being dicks. [00:40:37] Speaker 23: I'm here to sell a pre-revolutionary document from 1774. I purchased the states and storage units at auction, and I liquidate the contents. This document happened to go in the back burner for about 10 years until I realized what I had in my possession. I'm looking to get $15,000 for this. [00:40:55] Speaker 4: This is a pretty amazing thing you have here. At this point, 1774, we were second-class citizens living in these colonies across the ocean. We had no representation. They were just basically, you'll do what you're told. This was a condensed version of what they did when Congress was in session. There was a lot of resolutions and everything else we were sending to England saying, hey, please get off our backs, just treat us equal, let us do commerce, and let's live our lives just like normal British citizens. And this right here is telling England, like, quit being unreasonable, which they didn't do. So that ended up leading to a war. So have you had anybody look at this? No. Do you know if this is a first edition? I believe it is. So how much do you want for it? [00:41:39] Speaker 23: We're looking for $15,000. [00:41:45] Speaker 4: I have no idea if that's a good price. It's very interesting. I know it's rare. It's very collectible. But there's a lot of questions I have about it. Things like this get really, really technical. The right condition, the right paper, the right printing, everything. So let me call somebody up to take a look at this, if you don't mind, okay? Absolutely. [00:42:05] Speaker 23: I'll be right back. I'm totally fine with an expert coming in. I welcome it. I'm eager to know what the book is worth. Wow. [00:42:13] Speaker 13: So you know this is one of the most important documents from the American Revolution, right? Yeah. [00:42:19] Speaker 4: It's like the early Declaration of Independence, like-- The pre-Declaration? [00:42:22] Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah. [00:42:23] Speaker 4: It's like we're just telling Great Britain off. [00:42:25] Speaker 13: Well, this is actually the point where we're still trying to come to some sort of compromise. You have the First Continental Congress, which meets in the fall of 1774. And that's when representatives from the colonies get together and they say, "All right, we've got to do something about all of these acts." Essentially things that are like taxes, or closing the port in Boston, or quartering soldiers in our homes, that type of situation. The intolerable acts. Yes, the intolerable acts. A lot of the problems were happening in Massachusetts, in Boston in particular. And for a long time other colonies were like, "You know what? That's Boston's problem. That's not my problem." And so for a long time there wasn't unity. And the thing that's so important about this is this is the first time you have the colonies coming together united to talk to Great Britain. So the United and United States starts here. [00:43:19] Speaker 4: That's incredible. [00:43:20] Speaker 13: So these are the most important points of what the Continental Congress was discussing. And it gets printed in Philadelphia and then immediately they want it spread as much as possible to the colonies. [00:43:30] Speaker 4: So what's the condition? [00:43:32] Speaker 13: Something like this wasn't meant to last. It was meant to be printed quickly and spread really quickly and then like thrown away. So you look at this and you think, "Oh, it's kind of roughed up." I look at this and I say, "That's beautiful." For this to survive hundreds of years in this condition without ever getting bound, that's really a big deal. And you have the original stitching. This is everything that a collector wants. Okay. [00:43:59] Speaker 4: So he's asking $15,000 for it. Clue me in. [00:44:03] Speaker 13: I have known of copies selling for around $12,000. Okay. [00:44:10] Speaker 4: But this is not complete. [00:44:14] Speaker 13: Do you see here? We're on page 48. We've got this sentence here at the end. But to unite with us in one social compact formed, the sentence cuts off. This is missing a page. So once a book is no longer complete, that price sinks very rapidly. Honestly, I wouldn't expect a collector to pay more than about $4,000 for it. [00:44:40] Speaker 4: Okay. You're the best. Take care. All right. So all said, what would we take for it? [00:44:48] Speaker 23: How about $3,500? No, no, no. [00:44:51] Speaker 4: I'll give you $2,500. Said I could probably get $4,000 for it. [00:44:56] Speaker 23: How about $2,850? [00:45:05] Speaker 4: All right. We have a deal. All right. I'll meet you right up front there, and we'll do some paperwork. Sounds great. There's nothing so cool as owning an original snapshot of history as it was being made. Except for how much money I can make when I sell it. Not that I'm not going to read this thing 10 times before I do sell it. Hey, how's it going? Oh, yeah. [00:45:25] Speaker 24: Pretty good? Good. What do we got here? Scarface Morgan Silver Dollar. Top 100 variety. It's one of the cooler ones. It's got probably the coolest name, though. Say hello to my little friend. [00:45:36] Speaker 10: Indeed. [00:45:37] Speaker 24: I have an 1888-O Morgan Dollar Scarface variety that I'm coming into the pawn shop looking to sell today. There's about 19 of these in existence in a graded mint state. I'm hoping to sell the coin for $15,000. [00:45:51] Speaker 4: This is interesting. Morgan Silver Dollar, to this day, it's the most popular collected coin in the United States. Morgan Silver Dollar, they came out in 1878. The reason why it's called the Morgan Dollar is that the engraver was named Morgan. We basically imported him from England because we wanted prettier coins. Because they were kind of blocked. You know, we just got to be honest about it. So they called him and he made this beautiful design. And it literally came out of the bent like this. By making silver dollars, the government would actually make money off the whole thing. So we wanted tons of silver dollars in circulation. So the way the coin's made, you have the steel die on one side. And then the steel die on the other side. They put a planchette in the center. So the machine starts stamping them out really quickly. And the minting machine basically broke. And so Lady Liberty here has a scarred outer face. It was basically a mistake. And then they replaced the die. But the thing is, some of these ended up in the bags of silver dollars that were going to banks. And some of them actually got out of circulation. Yeah, so where'd you get it? [00:46:52] Speaker 24: I found it in a box. I've actually been sitting in my collection for about four years. I thought it was a scratch for four years and did some research and found out it's actually pretty rare. It's pretty rare. [00:47:02] Speaker 4: It's pretty rare. I don't know how many exist, but I'm sure it's less than 100. I've never seen one of these things in person before. I've seen them in books and like magazines, things like that. Super cool that you just ran across it. So you probably paid like 20 bucks for it. I'll plead the fifth. All right. So here's the deal. There's a weird marketing coins of people who collect errors. And this is considered an error. And it's like one of the coolest errors. It's the king of the errors. Yeah, they're pretty collectible. Did you know how much you wanted for it? $15,000. $15,000. I have no idea if that's the right price. Normally, I'm like a graded coin. You could just look it up and get a really quick idea of the market value. But when you start talking rare, weird stuff, there's not really a price guide. I got a friend who specializes just basically in weird coins. Cool. So give me a minute. I'll be right back, okay? Sure. [00:47:52] Speaker 25: Ah, your little friend. Wow. That's it. That's a Scarface. This is one of the most significant of the errors of Morgan dollars. This one is particularly expensive because it is just a huge die break. This die was probably literally almost falling apart when this coin was struck. So you can tell from here, the die is broken almost all the way across. So there are four acknowledged states of this and collectors of these kinds of things. The more destruction, the better. If you got this in the first die state, it's a $125 coin. If you get it in the final die state, it's worth many thousands. This is a terminal die state, which means it's the most valuable. So it makes a big difference. [00:48:43] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:48:44] Speaker 4: So going off the fact that it's like a terminal die state, what's it worth? [00:48:49] Speaker 25: It's a very, very specialized coin. The collecting of errors of Morgan dollars really was only popularized in the last 30 years. And this one appeals to a very narrow audience. Because they're so highly individual, they kind of go all over the place in terms of pricing. The record for one of these is almost 20,000. And that was, for one, it was a little nicer than this. Like a grade higher. But these things are very difficult to come up with an exact price. Because in one auction, they'll bring a little more. In one auction, a little less. And the market has mellowed a little bit since then. So this is worth about $7,000. Well, thanks, man. Perfect. Thank you. And congratulations. Thank you. [00:49:38] Speaker 24: I mean, I'd give you like $4,500 for it. I'm going to have to pass on that. I've received offers above that. And I have no desire to sell it. It's part of my collection. So you've received offers of more than $7,000? [00:49:54] Speaker 4: Yes. I'd go take it then. OK. All right. The other offer falls through. And you want $4,500? Come and see me. [00:50:05] Speaker 24: Will do. Appreciate your time. Rick's offers bargain basement pricing. $4,500 is just too low. I've had it in my collection for a few years. I don't need to sell it. [00:50:14] Speaker 15: Hello. How you doing? I'm good. [00:50:17] Speaker 26: How are you? Pretty good. What can I do for you? I have this Star Wars Ewok telephone. I want to see what you think about it. [00:50:24] Speaker 15: You mind if I take it out of the box? [00:50:25] Speaker 26: Go ahead. Ewok. That was the little creature in Return of the Jedi, and they battled the stormtroopers. Wasn't the popular one named, like, Wicket? [00:50:33] Speaker 15: Yes. Or something like that? [00:50:35] Speaker 26: And actually, I think this is Wicket. Would you like to make a call on it? Why not? [00:50:39] Speaker 15: I got it here, don't I? I think he said, let's go on a picnic, Chum Chum. That's kind of weird. He knows my name. [00:50:46] Speaker 26: Are you part Ewok that you were able to understand what he was saying? [00:50:49] Speaker 15: I think my mom was from outer space, so you never know. [00:50:54] Speaker 26: I have a Star Wars Ewok toy telephone I'm trying to sell today. And it's from 1984, and it's still in its original box. I'm hoping to get about $175. [00:51:05] Speaker 15: Oh, that's pretty cool. Let's face it, Star Wars is going to be popular forever. The reason being is because people your age like it, people older than you like it, people younger than you like it. I think this is a good item because there's not a lot of wicked stuff around. It kind of makes the stuff a little more rare when you're collecting it. [00:51:23] Speaker 26: Yes. [00:51:24] Speaker 15: Let me take a look at the overall condition because on first glance it looks like perfect. Yes. Almost too good to be true. Do you mind if I pop the battery thing open? No, go ahead. I'm imagining it within this good condition that you probably didn't store it with the battery in it. No. So I just got to check and make sure, you know. It looks pristine, and that's amazing because as a kid, I would've put a battery in this and I would've probably never took it out. And people don't realize the two easiest things to do is trash the box and corrode the battery pocket. Yes. Those are kind of the two things that really add to the value of an item because those are the first two things to go. How much are you looking to get for it? I'd like to get maybe $175. Um, the box is in great condition. It's a great piece. It displays well. It looks awesome. And it is collectible. Plus, my boss is in London right now looking at a bunch of Star Wars stuff. So I think he'll like this. Would you take $75 for it? [00:52:20] Speaker 26: Um, let me ask Wicket and see if he thinks that's good. [00:52:26] Speaker 15: No, I actually think you should take $40. Whoa, Wicket, you're on my side. [00:52:34] Speaker 26: He said, how about $100? That still gives you room to double it. You probably could get $200 out of it. You wouldn't take $90? Uh, how about-- How about $95? What do you think, Wicket? [00:52:55] Speaker 15: I think that's a yes. I think he said yes. Wicket can dance. Wicket can dance. All right, $95. [00:53:00] Speaker 26: We got a deal. Thank you. Come on over here. Let's write it up. OK, cool. I sold it for $95. I was hoping to get maybe a little more, but maybe I'll save it and buy another Star Wars item and add another item to my collection. [00:53:17] Speaker 2: So did you miss me? Didn't even notice you were gone. [00:53:22] Speaker 4: Well, London was absolutely amazing. I bought a Star Wars poster signed by all the cast and the crew. [00:53:28] Speaker 15: Heard you were out on a little Star Wars mission? [00:53:31] Speaker 4: Yes, I was. [00:53:33] Speaker 15: Check it out. Ewok talking telephone. Um, OK. You know who Wicket is, right? He just said, I'm an Ewok. Give Chum a raise. He buys good things. [00:53:47] Speaker 4: Um, OK, because I didn't understand one bit of it. [00:53:49] Speaker 15: Well, you don't speak Ewok. I know this doesn't even come close to comparing with the big items that you saw. [00:53:55] Speaker 4: I actually saw Han Solo's original blaster from the original movie. That's pretty cool. Did you try to buy it? No, it's worth like a million dollars. [00:54:03] Speaker 15: So you're too cheap. You know what? I'm proud of my purchase here. I think you'll do good on it. Good job, Chum. Good job, Chum. Thank you. [00:54:12] Speaker 4: So where's your next vacation? I wonder if there got any cool stuff in the Bahamas. [00:54:18] Speaker ?: Hey, how can I help you? [00:54:19] Speaker 27: Hi. I have a book for you to look at today. OK. On the Trial of Witches. On the Trial of Witches? Printed in London in 1716. Oh, that's great. The two ladies that were accused here had actually never confessed, but they were summarily hung. [00:54:34] Speaker 4: All this back then was crazy, just the way it was proved you're a witch. They would keep on stacking bricks on your chest until you confessed. And then if you didn't confess, you just died. [00:54:49] Speaker 27: I got this book from a friend of mine that decided he wanted to stop collecting books. So he offered it to me. The leather covers were essentially about to fall off. I wanted to rebind it so someone could read the book and enjoy it. If we're able to make a deal today, I'd like to be able to take the money and put it towards a college fund that my wife and I have set up for our twins. This is about-- About a witch trial in 1662 that later formed the basis of the Salem Witch Trials in the 1690s. A Trial of Witches at the Aziz? Held at Berry St. Edmunds in Suffolk, England. That's absolutely great. Essentially what you have here is a transcript of the trial that was held at that time. So there's a lot of interesting notes about the things that the two ladies that were the witches. Supposed witches were accused of. And it's the children that they were accused of bewitching. It talks-- it's basically their testimony. [00:55:41] Speaker 4: Do you know that this is like a first edition or a second edition? [00:55:45] Speaker 27: This actually is a second edition. The first edition was printed in 1682. This is the stated second edition from 1716. OK. [00:55:55] Speaker 4: Hysteria around witchcraft has been around since the dawn of time. And in the 15 and 1600s in Europe, they had over 50,000 people. There were 50,000 witches executed. It wasn't until the Enlightenment period they basically began to calm down on the whole witch thing. [00:56:12] Speaker 27: I like the binding on it. It looks pretty cool. I had it rebound. When I originally got it, it was in a little bit rough shape on the outside. But everything on the textbook on the inside was in remarkable condition. OK. OK. So how much were you looking to get out of it? I'm asking $2,500 for the book. OK. [00:56:28] Speaker 4: I have no idea if that's a good price or not. Do you mind to have someone look at it? Absolutely, yeah. I would love to. She knows everything there is to know about them. OK. So give me a few minutes. I'll get her down here. Have her take a look at it, and we'll go from there. Sounds good. OK. Be right back. [00:56:43] Speaker 27: Thank you. I'm excited to have an expert come in and take a look at the book. I look forward to hearing her opinion. A book on witches. [00:56:50] Speaker 13: Oh. Think about it. If I lived in the 17th century, I would have been called a witch. [00:56:54] Speaker 4: She gets called something close to that name. Stop it. [00:56:58] Speaker 13: Would you like this evaluation? [00:57:00] Speaker 4: Yes, I would. And don't cast a spell on me. [00:57:03] Speaker 13: All right. So it's a trial of witches. This trial right here was a landmark case because Cotton Mather used this as the authority to say we will use spectral evidence in the Salem witch trials. OK. Spectral evidence is essentially dreams. The people who are being tortured by the witch, they can point to that person and say, oh, that was the person I saw in the dream. That can be used as evidence in a court of law. Crazy. [00:57:31] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, because I dream some really weird stuff, so-- Don't we all, though? [00:57:37] Speaker 13: And this was the precedent. This book is right up my alley. I love learning about these primary source historical records that tell us how people thought they had evidence for witchcraft. Whether a woman is actually a witch. [00:57:54] Speaker 4: So what do you think it's worth? [00:57:56] Speaker 13: This is an OK shape. So you have the rebind, which is not the end of the world. And then, of course, you have the 1716 imprint here, which tells me, too, this is not the first edition. This was printed after the Salem witch trials, right? So that first edition is going to be more desirable because we know that's the edition that influenced the Salem witch trials. Correct. So as far as value goes, I would place this particular copy around $1,500 to $1,600. OK. OK? OK. [00:58:27] Speaker 4: Thanks. You're the best. [00:58:28] Speaker 13: You're welcome. [00:58:29] Speaker 4: Pleasure. Nice meeting you. And I would never call you a witch. [00:58:31] Speaker 13: Or the other thing. [00:58:33] Speaker 4: Have a nice day. Love ya. [00:58:37] Speaker 13: I think Rick could find collectors for this. This is a book that should intrigue people. So I think that it could excite the right buyer. [00:58:45] Speaker 4: So what do you want now? $1,250. I'll give you $900 for it. How about $1,100? Um, I'll do $1,000. How about $1,050? We'll split the difference there. I'll give you $1,000. It just doesn't make sense to pay anymore. It doesn't. Gotcha. Um, all right. I'll do $1,000. Sweet. I will meet you right over there. We'll do some paperwork, and I'll get you paid. All right. Sounds good. Thank you. [00:59:13] Speaker 27: Well, certainly, I want to be able to sell the book at the $2,500, but I do understand where the market is on that, and so I'm fine with that. [00:59:20] Speaker 28: This is the rarest, most significant Star Wars prototype in the world. This is a one-of-a-kind, rocket-firing Boba Fett, and it is something I love more than anything. [00:59:32] Speaker 4: Okay, but obviously there's a dollar figure that you love more than this thing. [00:59:40] Speaker 28: I came to the pawn shop today to sell the 1979 Toy Fair prototype of Boba Fett. It is a rocket-firing Boba Fett action figure that was never actually mass-produced. I'm here to sell the figure today because I've owned it for many years, and the time has come for me to pass the figure on to another die-hard Star Wars collector. [01:00:01] Speaker 4: This is pretty amazing. [01:00:03] Speaker 28: Do you know anything about it? This was actually displayed at the 1979 Toy Fair in New York City, and it is the only carded rocket-firing Boba Fett in the world. Basically, back in 1979, they promoted this figure as a rocket-firing Boba Fett. It has a spring mechanism in the back of the figure, where it actually projects and shoots this little tiny rocket out of its back. But at the last minute, Kenner realized that little rocket is a choking hazard and could actually go down a child's throat, and they could choke to death on it. The rocket in the back was glued down. Okay. And everybody was just beyond upset. That is really neat. What price do you want for this priceless item? I am asking $150,000 firm. Okay. [01:00:48] Speaker 4: Since I have never even heard of this... Most people haven't. Let me call my Star Wars nerd. Okay. I would love to meet him. Well, apparently, people like you get really excited over this. Absolutely. [01:01:03] Speaker 18: So, is it real? Yeah. There's no doubt about it. This is the holy grail of Star Wars toy collecting. It's right here, and it's in your store. All right. So, what do you think I could sell it for? The extreme rarity of this is just off the charts. I mean, it's one of one we're talking about here. Minimal $125,000. [01:01:22] Speaker 4: Okay. Thank you. [01:01:24] Speaker 28: No problem. So, you're firm at $150,000? I'm firm at $150,000. It is a bargain. I'm not going to buy this for an investment. [01:01:31] Speaker 4: I'm going to buy this to resell it. [01:01:33] Speaker 28: I understand. So, I'd give you $100,000 for it. I'm sorry. I can't do $100,000. Well, if you change your mind, I got $100,000. I thank you very much for the offer, but I'm going to have to say no. Okay. Thanks for coming in, though, man. I appreciate it. Very nice meeting you. Thank you very much. I feel that the expert's opinion is a little low. Unfortunately, the offer of $100,000 is a bounty I cannot accept. [01:02:01] Speaker 29: I have a rare Civil War-era photograph of a property at Gettysburg on Emmitsburg Road. Okay. I believe it to be the Wentz House. The Wentz House. Which was in the middle of the Peach Orchard Battle. Actually, I know nothing about this house. I have a rare Civil War-era photograph. I believe it's the Wentz home in Gettysburg National Park. I'm looking to get $15,000 for the photograph. If I'm able to sell this today, I'll probably go out and buy some more unique items. And it has a crazy backstory to it. Childhood home of Henry Wentz. He ended up in the Confederate Army. Came and fought at the Peach Orchard when his father was in that house. Okay. There's questions about is this actually the Wentz House. I'm not exactly sure. It is Gettysburg National Military Park, but it's unsure of what house it is. I mean, it sounds really interesting. Anything to do with Gettysburg is interesting, okay? [01:03:00] Speaker 4: It's literally the battle that completely changed the course of American history. [01:03:05] Speaker 29: Have you ever seen any other pictures of this, or? Not of this. The Library of Congress does have one picture, supposedly, of the Wentz House. So you'd have to, like, request it. Okay. [01:03:17] Speaker 4: It's in relatively good shape for them being that old. Because photographs at this time period, when they're put on paper like this, the paper and everything else wasn't the top quality meant to last. Sure. So how much do you want for it? I'm asking for $15,000. Okay. Um, anything related to Gettysburg is worth money. If you can prove a gun was there, it's worth money. I mean, a Civil War uniform, if you can prove, you know, there was a soldier actually wearing it at Gettysburg, it automatically bumps up the value. Anything about Gettysburg, there's value there. So let me call someone up to see if this is a house that was there during the Civil War battle, and if it's rare and everything like that. I know one guy who will know everything about it. Oh, that'd be great, yeah. Okay. And then if it checks out, I'll figure out what it's worth. Okay. So give me five minutes, I'm gonna give him a call. Okay. All right, I'll be right back. [01:04:02] Speaker 29: Okay, thanks. [01:04:03] Speaker 4: So this is the photograph, he says, is of the Wentz House. Yeah. And I know next to nothing about it, so. [01:04:12] Speaker 30: The Civil War was interesting, because that was the first war that we photographed. In this case, you're talking Gettysburg. You're talking the battle that changed the war. And when you talk about the Wentz House, during the battle, the 17th Mississippi went through Sherphy's Peach Orchard, which was right across the street from the Wentz House. So John Wentz, he's in his house as this battle is churning around. He knows all this stuff because he was there. [01:04:42] Speaker ?: No. [01:04:43] Speaker 30: I only look like it. The Wentz House is an interesting one. There's no known photograph of the Wentz House that existed during the battle. There is, however, a drawing. And I was able to track that down. In order for something to be correct, everything has to match. So this is not the Wentz House. The Wentz House was actually only a story and a half tall log structure. In looking at this, it's wood frame and it's a wood house. Right. It doesn't quite fit. It had nothing to do with the battle. It's not the house that people would be particularly interested in. [01:05:27] Speaker 4: So this is not the Wentz House. This is not-- you can't confirm it's any Gettysburg. [01:05:32] Speaker 30: Yeah, it could be another structure that was a Gettysburg. That I can tell you. But it's not the Wentz House. Thanks, man. Not a problem. Very good to meet you. Thank you. Nice meeting you. Any time you have a significant portion of one of the pivotal battles of the Civil War, somebody can find a photograph of that. Any collector would love to have it. This photo is a probably late 1860s farmhouse. Whether it was at Gettysburg or not, that I can't say. But it is not the Wentz House from the Battle of Gettysburg. [01:06:07] Speaker 4: At this point, I don't know what it is. All I know is it's a period photograph. It'd be really hard for me to even retail this at any price. So it's just not for me. Have a good one, man. All right. Well, thanks for looking at it. No problem. Oh, so Mark might be a little bit smarter than me. A little bit. [01:06:26] Speaker 31: How you doing? All right. What can I help you with? I've got some Super Coal & Blow. [01:06:32] Speaker 15: From Saturday Night Live? Yeah. Coal & Blow. It's high in fiber, low in fat. Seems pretty healthy. I guess it'll make you poop. [01:06:43] Speaker 31: I have an SNL prop. Super Coal & Blow from the late '80s with Phil Hartman. I'm hoping to walk away with $8,000 today. I've got two kids, and I was hoping to take the money and maybe apply it towards their college education down the road. This is the greatest show ever. [01:06:59] Speaker 15: Saturday Night Live just had this funny way of taking, like, everyday items and putting their little twist on it. You've seen the skit, right? Oh, I love Hartman. Yeah. It's pretty funny. They're like, hey, how much fiber does your cereal have? Guess. He's like, one. Guess again. Guess again. Gets up to nine. Guess again. Right. Then it's like 30,000 or something crazy. Whoa. And he's stacked up on a pyramid of cereal bowls, and then they're like, now introducing Super Coal & Blow. And it's like a million times the fiber. So this really was the prop, huh? That's it. [01:07:34] Speaker 31: Where did you get it? A buddy of a buddy works on the show, and he was able to get it to me, and I've had it for quite a long time now. And this is a certificate of authenticity. [01:07:46] Speaker 15: It's a prop from Saturday Night Live from November 11, 1989. It was created using a color printer. Um, it's in pretty good condition, minus this little spot up here. What are you looking to do with it? Sell it. And how much are you looking for? $8,000. I really want to buy this, but I just don't have people coming in here looking for boxes of Coal & Blow. Would you take $3,000 for it? No, I can't do $3,000. Can you do $7,000? Honestly, that's way too high for me. I could bump it up a little bit, maybe like $33,000. Can you do $5,000? $35,000 is really going to be the best I could do. And I'm just offering you that because my boss loves Saturday Night Live, and I think he's going to give me a raise if I buy this. [01:08:45] Speaker ?: All right, deal. [01:08:46] Speaker 15: All right, I'll meet you at the counter and we'll write it up. All right. Rick loves Saturday Night Live. And since he's old, I know he needs some help with his digestive situation. So I consider this a smart purchase that kills two birds with one stone. So you're moving again? Yeah. [01:09:05] Speaker 2: Why are you looking at houses in my neighborhood? I like you on the other side of town. [01:09:09] Speaker 15: You can move to my neighborhood, Rick. I got some stuff at my house that I need to fix. Check it out. Coal & Blow. When you really got to go. Actually, Coal & Blow from SNL? [01:09:20] Speaker 4: Yep. Super Coal & Blow. That's a real prop for the show. Real prop for it. I got provenance paperwork. That was one of the funniest commercials they ever did. They didn't go over the top. They just acted like it was-- They went way over the top. They didn't go over the line. Your line must be pretty far out there. It was the equivalent of 4,000 bowls of bran flakes. [01:09:44] Speaker 2: You probably-- you could probably use some, Pops. It's not real. We don't know that. There's got to be something in the box. [01:09:52] Speaker 4: I don't need anything for my digestive health. It's funny, because you're full of . [01:09:59] Speaker 15: He's got a point there. [01:10:00] Speaker 4: This is TV history right here. It's super cool. All right. I'll leave it here for a little while. [01:10:05] Speaker 15: Just for you. [01:10:07] Speaker 4: I got to go to the bathroom. [01:10:20] Speaker ?: How are you doing? [01:10:22] Speaker 15: Hey, I'm doing good. [01:10:23] Speaker 32: How are you? [01:10:24] Speaker 15: Pretty good. What do you have here? [01:10:26] Speaker 32: I have a set of rare, unproduced Care Bear Cousins from Kenner. Oh. [01:10:32] Speaker 15: Huh. Hold on. I actually have one of the Care Bears Cousins here. Cory! [01:10:39] Speaker 32: I'm here at the pawn shop today to sell my prototype, Care Bear Cousins. This collection means a lot to me, because I have been part of a semi-secret society of Care Bear collectors for over 20 years. [01:10:52] Speaker 15: What do you want, Chum? Look. It's your cousins. The Care Bears. Why aren't they bears? [01:10:59] Speaker 32: Because the cousins are the animals. They're the friends of the Care Bears. What can you tell me about them? Well, these are straight from the Kenner Morgue, which was a place that they put Kenner toys when Kenner shut down. And so these are kind of seen as holy grail. Everything in that catalog was a holy grail. [01:11:18] Speaker 2: I mean, they look like they're fairly clean. You know, you have, like, these plushes. You have kids sleeping and drooling on them and everything else. Well, these never made it out of Kenner. [01:11:27] Speaker 32: Yeah. In fact, if you look, they're hand-painted, the nose and the eyes both, because these original noses came from the factory with the 13-inch. This one in particular is the rarest of the whole collection. Is that the little pig? [01:11:40] Speaker 15: It's the little pig. [01:11:41] Speaker 32: His name's Tree Heart. There's only four known to exist in the whole world. [01:11:45] Speaker 2: So what are you looking to do with them? [01:11:47] Speaker 32: I want to sell them. [01:11:49] Speaker 2: Any idea how much you're looking to get? [01:11:51] Speaker 32: Well, I can tell you right now that this little piggy went for $6,000 last year on auction. And these are the only ones known to exist. So I was thinking for the collection, I'd cut you a break at, like, $5,000. [01:12:06] Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of the few times where I have absolutely no idea what this could be worth. Do you mind if I have a buddy come down and take a look at him? Not at all. [01:12:18] Speaker 32: OK. [01:12:19] Speaker 2: Chumlee Bear, you want to go give him a call? Sure. [01:12:23] Speaker 32: I'm perfectly fine with a toy expert coming in to evaluate my collection. I know they're special items and that they're going to go for quite a lot of money. [01:12:34] Speaker 22: How are you doing, Steve? Good. Care Bear cousins. [01:12:37] Speaker 32: Yeah, that's cool. We need you to be the guy to call. [01:12:39] Speaker 22: I was hoping I could get you to do the Care Bear stairs today. [01:12:41] Speaker 15: Show me how to do it. Could you show him how to do it? [01:12:44] Speaker 32: Oh, love comes out of your belly. [01:12:46] Speaker 15: I have a lot of love and a lot of belly, so I'm probably pretty good at it. [01:12:51] Speaker 22: So when it comes to origins of toys like this, what's really unique is that these actually came from greeting cards. At American Greetings had created a line of cards, "Get Well Soon," and he had Grumpy and he had a little cloud with rain on his belly. That was kind of like the first inception. From about '84 to '86 is when you really saw the cartoon line thriving, the movie comes out. So it took a few years to get going, but once it did, it was a pretty big piece. And there was kind of like a cult following of Care Bear collectors out there. It just seems like she knows a little something about that. Overall, they all look like they're in great condition. The eyes, the noses all look to be hand-painted. And as for the pig you got here, now the pig's really unique because there's only a handful of them known to exist. Last I was aware, there was two or three of them that were actually the painted versions. There was one or two that was available that was unpainted. Do you mind if I take a look at it and just say-- OK. He would be a prototype. He was never produced. He was one that everybody wanted. He's got a little bit of age in his legs. I wouldn't say it's cracks. We call it toy leprosy. But still, for a prototype, being what he is, he's in very, very good condition. So I assume you guys asked me to come here to give you a value? I mean, I have no idea what these could be worth. I think, overall, you're going to have no problem for the plush getting $1,400 for him. The pig is a little bit different. I believe that that's a much more rare toy. It's going to be a little bit different of a market for it. I think that you'll have no problem getting $3,000 for him. Hopefully that helps you out. Thanks for coming in. Thanks, Chum, Corey. [01:14:29] Speaker 2: Appreciate it, man. Thank you. [01:14:31] Speaker 32: Good luck. Thank you. So what do you think? [01:14:34] Speaker 2: Chum, I'm going to go ahead and let you handle this. Have a good day. [01:14:37] Speaker 15: All right. [01:14:38] Speaker 32: All right. [01:14:39] Speaker 15: I'm going to Care Bear stare right now and try to get you to the price I want. [01:14:42] Speaker 32: All right. He gave you a number. $4,400. So I'm thinking $4,400. [01:14:50] Speaker 15: That's going to be a little too high for me. How about $22? [01:14:56] Speaker 32: Whew. [01:14:57] Speaker ?: That's tough. [01:14:58] Speaker 32: I don't think a Care Bear would approve of that. $22. This is Chum, I'm spreading love and joy. Okay, how about, how about $3,500? And that's giving you such a deal. [01:15:08] Speaker 15: How about $31? [01:15:16] Speaker 32: All right. [01:15:17] Speaker 15: You got a deal. All right. $3,100. Meet me at the counter and we'll write it up. [01:15:21] Speaker 32: All right. I'm thrilled that the guys and I were able to make a deal today. I didn't walk away with the $5,000 I was hoping to have, but $3,100. I could get a pretty good little junker car for my 16-year-old daughter. [01:15:35] Speaker 10: Hey, what's up, Adam? Good to see you. Great to see you. Got something for you. Pick a card first, any card. I'm just assuming it's this one. One of the oldest American playing cards from 1769. Whoa. Even in the 18th century in America, they had lots of card games. [01:15:54] Speaker 4: It was the 1700s. There wasn't a lot to do. You had to entertain yourself, and we all know what the world's oldest profession is. I think gambling was the second, and then pawn shops to pay for the first day. [01:16:05] Speaker 10: This is really cool. Yeah, this is not just a playing card, actually. This is also a political document. On one side, it has like a secret political message. [01:16:14] Speaker 4: Okay. Old card from colonial America is something you definitely don't see every day. And this card wasn't used for playing cards. This card was used for propaganda. And that's got me intrigued. [01:16:26] Speaker 10: So how much do you want for it? I'd like $1,500 for it. I think it's a fair price. It's a very rare and interesting card, so. [01:16:35] Speaker 4: You've met Mark Hall Patton, right? I did. Okay. Let me have him take a look at it. I just want to make sure it's legit and everything's cool with it. This is the card I called you about. Interesting. [01:16:44] Speaker 30: The four clubs. One of the more interesting cards out there, obviously. So how did you end up with this? [01:16:52] Speaker 10: I bought it at a small auction. I didn't think it was highlighted in terms of its historical importance, so I picked it up reasonably cheap. Okay. [01:17:01] Speaker 30: This is an interesting piece. The playing card portion of this was not actually printed in the United States. Cards were printed in England. They were brought into the United States, and they didn't have any back on them. It was just blank paper. So people would start using them. This one's particularly nice because it's 1769, and it's a political message. What this is actually saying, escape the designs of those men of faction. Faction was considered a bad thing because you were only going to be supporting one side, and you needed to support everybody if you were running for office. This M-R-Y, this person named Murray, and a person named Brasher. Wow. And he's basically saying to people, don't vote for these guys. It is a political broadside from 1769. So it's all legit. [01:17:59] Speaker 4: It's the real deal. It wasn't made in the 1960s. [01:18:05] Speaker 30: No. As far as I can tell, this is absolutely legit, and it's scarce. It's very scarce. I know of only four or five in public collections. You're not going to see another one of these. Thanks, man. [01:18:18] Speaker ?: You're the best. [01:18:19] Speaker 4: Thank you. Very interesting. [01:18:21] Speaker 30: Thanks for the insight. Thank you. This card is a very unique original piece of printing from pre-revolutionary times. I certainly would want to have it. If he buys it, I think Rick's enough of a geek when it comes to history that he's going to love it. [01:18:36] Speaker 10: So you heard it, 1760s, rebellious spirit in America, a very rare card. [01:18:43] Speaker 4: It's cool, but you know how it is when you have that rare one thing, you know, that's trying to figure out a price. Sure. So $1,000. [01:18:56] Speaker 10: $1,000, huh? I think I'd like $1,200 for it. I think that's fair. It's very rare. You got a deal, man. Sounds good. You got yourself a card. [01:19:15] Speaker 4: This is cool. I like this. [01:19:17] Speaker 10: I think it's a fair price. It is very hard to value things that are very unique and very rare. With the $1,200, I'm definitely going to look for more things that I think they'll be interested in, and I'll bring them back in. [01:19:29] Speaker 4: You know Adam, the picker that goes around looking for old books? [01:19:33] Speaker ?: Yeah. [01:19:34] Speaker 4: He came in earlier with a playing card from the 1700s, and I paid him a ridiculous amount of money for it. And he bought the card for nothing. That guy's lucky. There's no such thing as luck. There is luck. No, no. There is hard work. I mean, some bad things happen every once in a while, but it's not luck. In general, you will do well in life if you just work hard. I mean, you're not going to walk into a casino and play craps all night long and win just because you're wearing a certain sweater or something. [01:20:06] Speaker 2: How do you know you just haven't found the right sweater? Some people are just more lucky than others. I'm the luckiest person in the world. Why are you so lucky? Obviously, he's lucky. Ten years, he's still here. Pretty awesome, isn't it, Rick? [01:20:24] Speaker ?: Yeah. [01:20:25] Speaker 2: Guess we're the unlucky ones. Hey, how's it going? Good. [01:20:34] Speaker ?: How are you? [01:20:35] Speaker 2: What do we got here? Because I don't buy black bags. OK. And it looks like you're about to do a magic trick or something. [01:20:41] Speaker 33: No magic trick today, but bear with me one second here. This is a 1978 Triple Crown trophy. Really? [01:20:49] Speaker 2: Yes. You don't look like the size of a jockey. [01:20:52] Speaker 33: No. I have a 1978 Triple Crown trophy. Since this is one of the only ones available, I thought it would be a good investment. I'm hoping to get $500,000 for the trophy. How in the world did you get this? I work with the trainer for his family. And so when the opportunity came up, I went ahead and made the investment. What horse was it? The horse was named Affirmed. [01:21:18] Speaker 2: I mean, at one point, this was the fastest horse in the world. Yes. So the bag says Cartier. I'm assuming they made it. Yes, they did. Doesn't surprise me. I know Tiffany's makes the Lombardi trophy. Yes. This is huge. This is damn near the equivalent of somebody coming in here and selling me a Stanley Cup. Pretty much. It's kind of a-- Only a little more rare. Yeah. I mean, it's only happened about, what, 13 times in history? You know, it's the Kentucky Derby, the Prickness, and the Belmont. Forgive me, I don't really follow horse racing, but I just-- I know how big this is. I know how rare this is. And it happens to be from a sport I really don't know that much about. So what are you looking to get out of it? $500,000. And normally when someone asks for $500,000 in here, I kind of laugh. I have no idea what it's worth. Yeah, this is something you just don't really ever get an opportunity to look at and buy. I'm actually shocked that somebody ended up selling it. Yes. I'll tell you what, man. I'm going to have to call a buddy of mine in to take a look at it. Because if you brought me in the Stanley Cup right now, I'm going to have a lot of questions. And to me, that's the equivalent here. I'll be right back. Let me give them a call. [01:22:29] Speaker 33: OK. I'm fine with an expert coming in to look at it. I know it's real. This way, they'll authenticate it, and I'll get the price that I'm looking for. [01:22:37] Speaker 2: Hey, Dan, what's up, man? Hey, Corey. How you doing, bud? Here you go. Good to see you. Hi, Patrick. Dude, Triple Crown Trophy. I don't even know where to start. [01:22:46] Speaker 34: Unbelievable. I've actually never seen one. Wow. Yeah, this, I mean, it's the Triple Crown Trophy. This is just incredible. [01:22:56] Speaker 2: I mean, it's like having a ball that somebody threw a no-hitter with. [01:23:00] Speaker 34: Right, right, yeah. Like, it's not supposed to be in public hands. Yeah. Like, this is supposed to be in a museum. [01:23:06] Speaker 2: Now, I had a huge question, because I've made the mistake of buying Grammys and Oscars and stuff before, and you're not allowed to own them. And I ended up having to give them back. Is this something that you could even own? [01:23:17] Speaker 34: The trainer might have passed away, which in this case, Laz Barrera passed away in 1991. Families are able to sell trophies to help out with bills and stuff like that. And this is the first time I've ever seen something like this in front of me. I mean, this is incredible. Yeah. [01:23:33] Speaker 2: Okay, so I gotta ask, man. I mean, I don't know how to put a value on this. You're right. [01:23:38] Speaker 34: It's tough to put a value as far as comparing this to other big trophies. In my career, none of these have ever come out to the market, to the public. Comparing other trophies, you know, what they go for, this is worth $500,000. I mean, is there a market for it? The horse racing collectibles market is a small niche, and there will be someone that will come out eventually that's looking for something of this high caliber that just needs to have something that no one else has. [01:24:10] Speaker 2: Okay, um, well, my man, I really appreciate it. You got it. Absolutely. It's nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. So you heard what Dan said. I might be able to get $500,000 for it. That's at an auction with the right buyer, and I gotta sell it to a guy who wants a trophy he didn't win. Um, you willing to come down from that number a little bit, or...? I really need to get $500,000 for it. I'm around $125,000. [01:24:39] Speaker 33: It's pretty far off. Would you go $225,000? I really need to get $5,000 for it. [01:24:47] Speaker 2: I think $225,000 is gonna be the most I can do on it. I really can't go below $500,000. [01:24:54] Speaker 33: I really can't pay more than $225,000. I appreciate you coming down, though. All right, thank you. Thank you. Unfortunately, he didn't pony up the money that I was looking for, so we weren't able to make a deal today. I really need to make my money back on the investment, and I'm confident that I can find a buyer that's gonna give me more than that. [01:25:09] Speaker 35: Hey, what's up, man? Hello. I have a 1956 Pez Space Ray Gun. Pez candy I always thought was disgusting. [01:25:19] Speaker 2: They started off as an aid to get people to stop smoking. You know, so it was a little round tablet that tasted like mint, but people didn't want to quit smoking. So they decided to turn it into fruit-flavored candies and make it into stuff, you know, kids would like. When I ever got one when I was a kid, I would just tear the whole package open and eat 'em at once. [01:25:38] Speaker 15: So you said you didn't like Pez. [01:25:40] Speaker 2: I didn't, but that's how I figured that out. [01:25:44] Speaker 35: I'm here to sell my 1956 Pez Space Ray Gun. I had the opportunity to purchase a very large collection, which included a lot of other vintage toys and collectibles. And this Pez Space Ray Gun was one of those pieces. I don't have any personal sentimental value to it, but it's very nostalgic. This is interesting. I mean, I love Pez. [01:26:03] Speaker 15: Like, in the '60s, they started making the 3D heads, and they had the little comics on the packaging. I was just at a candy convention. I went to the Pez people, and they gave me this Pez dispenser. And I looked it up on the internet, and it was already going for $200. [01:26:17] Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the company's lasted forever, and they're doing something right. And how would you use it? [01:26:22] Speaker 35: Well, so it has this little piece right here. The cartridge comes out. And then you just put that down like so, and you're on that. And whenever you would pull the trigger here, the Pez would shoot out the actual front of the gun. [01:26:39] Speaker 2: OK, I'm sure that got discontinued pretty quick. You have kids just sticking a gun in their mouth and shooting candy, right? Exactly. That seems kind of bizarre. So what are you looking to do with it? I want to sell it. What are you looking to get? I'm asking $500. OK. I don't know what the market on Pez dispensers is like right now. But one of my biggest issues is there was a massive influx of counterfeit and fake Pez dispensers. I might have had my buddy Steve come down and take a look. Absolutely. [01:27:11] Speaker ?: Got a Pez dispenser. [01:27:12] Speaker 15: That's what you called me for. I'm trying to put this thing in the candy shop. That's a really cool pastry to put in the candy shop. [01:27:18] Speaker 22: Although I don't know if you can actually legally sell it or not. No, I want to display it. Why couldn't I legally sell it? If you're going to display, you could. Why couldn't I legally sell it? Because it was actually taken off the market because kids had a choking hazard with it. Really? So it discontinued for that purpose. Yeah. When you told me what it was, I was like, oh, man, I haven't seen one of these in so long. You know, in 1956, this was basically like the third item that Pez offered on the market towards kids. Can I take a look at it? Absolutely. Awesome. Overall, it looks like it's in pretty good shape. And then it looks like you have your gun permit. You can't have a gun without a gun permit. You can't carry without the gun permit. That's correct. This was actually your instruction sheet. These are not usually available with the guns because this was the first thing that would go. So it's neat to see that intact and everything. So I think you've got a legit space gun from 1956. [01:28:10] Speaker 2: So what do you think it's worth? [01:28:12] Speaker 22: These are really desirable. I think you guys would have no problem getting $450 for it. [01:28:19] Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate you coming. Cool. [01:28:21] Speaker 22: Thanks. [01:28:22] Speaker 2: All right, thank you. See you later. So remind me again, how much were you looking for? I'm looking to get $500. What about $250? How about $400? How about three? You smile, shake my hand, and say yes. [01:28:41] Speaker 35: Oh, that's a tough one. 300, smile, shake your hand. [01:28:46] Speaker ?: Deal. [01:28:47] Speaker 35: Chum, you want to write them out? Sure. Let's go write it out. I'm thrilled that I was able to make a deal here today. And while it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it's enough to buy my wife a wonderful anniversary gift. [01:29:00] Speaker 4: Hey, do you know anything about a PEZ gun that we paid $300 for? Uh, yeah. Well, it says Chum put it on shelf 127, and it's not there. I checked this morning. So do you know where my PEZ dispenser's at? [01:29:15] Speaker 2: If there's a PEZ dispenser missing in the store, I would start with the guy who owns the candy store across the parking lot. Chum. [01:29:23] Speaker 4: Which is Chum, yeah. [01:29:24] Speaker 2: I mean, he was really into it. [01:29:26] Speaker 4: Well, I guess I'm going to a candy store. There you go. [01:29:29] Speaker 2: Have fun. [01:29:34] Speaker ?: What's up, Rick? [01:29:35] Speaker 15: Is that my PEZ gun? It's a PEZ gun. I don't know if it's yours anymore. [01:29:41] Speaker 4: Why is it over here? [01:29:44] Speaker 15: It looks so much better in here, Rick. This is a candy store. This is a natural environment for this thing to be in. Those are the facts. All right. [01:29:53] Speaker 4: You know what? I'm going to make this really easy on you. I'm just going to take 400 bucks out of your paycheck. Wait. [01:29:58] Speaker 15: Can I get it for 300? Nope. [01:30:01] Speaker 4: In the candy bar, I get that, too. [01:30:05] Speaker 15: Lane. [01:30:08] Speaker 12: Hey, Rick. Yeah? There's this motorcycle out back. You should take a look at it. Is it cool? Yeah, it's really cool. OK. That's shiny. [01:30:16] Speaker 36: It's an original 1969 T100C competition model. [01:30:20] Speaker 4: It's absolutely beautiful. [01:30:22] Speaker 36: I love it. I wouldn't be selling it except my wife's making me sell it. [01:30:27] Speaker 4: This Triumph is one of the very first dirt bikes, and most of them were beaten to death. This bike looks like it's been restored right. I've always loved old Triumph motorcycles, so I'm going to have to contain myself. Tell me, how much do you want for this thing? [01:30:45] Speaker 36: I've seen these go for as much as $25,000, which is kind of where I'd like to settle. [01:30:52] Speaker 4: Do you mind if I have someone take a look at it? OK. [01:30:55] Speaker 36: I'm not nervous about an expert's opinion or anybody else's opinion. The bike is perfect. It speaks for itself. [01:31:03] Speaker 19: Mercy be. That is something special. Brings back memories, buddy. That's the way it was. The history behind these kind of things, Rick, is just unbelievable. I mean, Elvis Presley at one time bought every person, his crew, one of these bikes. That near fatal crash that Evel Knievel had jumping down there at Caesar's Palace is on a Triumph. Wow. Everything Triumph is today came from these bikes right here. Very, very special. That is definitely cool. I'm Mark Ewell of Freedom Eurocycle, and I'm an expert in Triumph motorcycles. So is it all original? This is a very rare bike. This is a C model T100. Those were the ones that were the most sought after, especially now by collectors. You know, as I look over this bike, simple little things like the foot pegs, they are right. I look at all the switches, the housing, the headlight. These tanks still today are hand pinstriped. It's a pleasure to look at something like that, knowing they're still maintaining that today. The upswept pipes on it, very, very rare piece. Very few of them left. Pretty special bike, Rick. Okay. So what do you think it's worth? Somebody that was an avid collector of these motorcycles right here, I mean, they might pay $30,000. But realistically, it's in that $20,000, $25,000 range. Something like that is really what this bike might be worth. All right, this is really cool, but... [01:32:36] Speaker 36: Would you like to take it out and ride it? That might sell you on it. Yeah. [01:32:40] Speaker 4: I don't need to ride this bike to make this deal. But I'm going to, because I can't. [01:32:47] Speaker ?: I'll give you a call if I buy it. [01:32:50] Speaker 19: Thank you, Rick. Nice meeting you, sir. Good luck. Thank you. Finding a 1969 Triumph Trophy 500, it's so rare. This is a motorcycle, I think, that would fit in the store here. But I would like to see Rick keep it for himself. [01:33:12] Speaker 4: Here we go. Nice. [01:33:22] Speaker 1: Awesome. [01:33:23] Speaker 4: This bike rides like a 1969 motorcycle. Actually a little better than most '69 motorcycles. It handles all right. It doesn't have a lot of power. The suspension sucks. But damn, I look good on it. I'm in love with this bike. I really, really hope I can make a deal on this thing. [01:33:44] Speaker 36: What do you think? Pretty snappy? [01:33:48] Speaker 4: For a '69 bike, yeah. It's like a brand new bike. [01:33:51] Speaker 36: It is. [01:33:53] Speaker 4: So, what's your bottom line? [01:33:57] Speaker 36: I'm still talking $25,000. I'll give you $14,000. I'm not going to lose it for $14,000. What is your best price? I'll come off my $25,000, $20,000. [01:34:14] Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, I'll give you $15,000. I mean, it's a fair price. I mean, if you put this in an auction, you know, by the time you pay the auction fees and everything, you know what a nightmare the auctions can be. $17,500. It's a really cool bike. Don't get me wrong, but I think as far as business goes, it will be hard for me to even sell this. $15,000 is it. [01:34:39] Speaker 36: You drive a hard bargain, Rick. If it wasn't for my wife making me sell it, I'd stick to my guns. $15,000, I'll do it. [01:34:47] Speaker 4: Sweet. Let's go do some paperwork, man. Okay. This is great. [01:34:51] Speaker 36: I'll make my wife happy. I'm going to settle for $15,000 for the bike, and then I'm going to buy another motorcycle. I just hope my wife doesn't find out about it. [01:35:13] Speaker ?: Thank you.
