00:00Hey, you're back.
00:01Hey, how's it going?
00:02Nice to see you again.
00:03So what do you got for me this time?
00:05This is a very special book.
00:06It's called An Incunable.
00:07It was printed in 1484.
00:10So An Incunable is any book printed before 1500, correct?
00:13Exactly.
00:14One of the oldest printed books.
00:16Just what we need, Rick.
00:17Another old book.
00:18We sell old books.
00:20It's part of our job.
00:21It's part of our business.
00:23Yeah, well, they don't sell that well.
00:25Part of his job is just to be a grumpy old bastard.
00:29Whatever.
00:30I came to the pawn shop today to sell an incunable,
00:34one of the oldest printed books.
00:36This was the first generation.
00:38The book was bought at auction 20 years ago for $3,500.
00:42So I hope it's gone up since then
00:44and I can make a little bit of a profit.
00:47I happen to have one of these things now.
00:49Ah, that's great.
00:50Since I'm buying so many books.
00:51It's very interesting, the binding, actually.
00:53It's bound in pig skin.
00:55Okay.
00:56Which is one of the early ways you would bind books.
00:58You know, the paper is actually made by soaking, you know, rags in the 15th century and fermenting them.
01:04Yeah, most people don't realize that paper made out of wood wasn't until the 1800s.
01:10All of these little holes were made by bookworms.
01:14They munched away.
01:15I don't think that's a good thing, though.
01:18Well, it happens in a lot of old books.
01:21Yeah, you can tell by the illumination right here that it's early Renaissance.
01:25Illuminated books have illustrations that are hand painted.
01:28As books became mass produced, the art form of illuminating books faded away.
01:34Which is a shame because the illustrations in this book are stunning.
01:37I mean, when you think about what this book survived, the number of wars and what was going on in the 1400s.
01:42I mean, this was nine years before Columbus set sail for America.
01:46The book is actually on an interesting subject matter, too.
01:49It's written defending a famous theologian and philosopher called St. Thomas Aquinas.
01:55His philosophy really reintroduced logic, debating things, and became a very important, you know, method for the Renaissance.
02:03Okay, that is definitely cool.
02:04It's no secret that I love antique books.
02:07And this is one of the oldest books I have ever had in my shop.
02:10I'm very concerned about these wormholes going throughout the whole book.
02:14Well, they had good taste, those worms.
02:17Quite frankly, I don't have a lot of books from the 1400s coming in here every day.
02:21Oh, I understand.
02:22Um, let me call up a friend. She's an expert in rare books.
02:25I like it. I want it. I just want to make sure I'm not overpaying for it.
02:28I'll be right back. Thanks so much.
02:30If it checks out, I'm definitely going to want this for myself.
02:34I'm sort of in love with it already.
02:37Some of the most beautiful books ever printed are some of the earliest.
02:41And this is actually quite a beautiful book.
02:43With most books, age doesn't matter, right?
02:46When you have edition, first edition, that's what you want, the first book printed.
02:50The exception? Incunables.
02:53They are actually collected simply because of their age.
02:56An incunable is a book that was printed within the first 50 years of the invention of printing.
03:01Incunable is Latin literally for in the cradle, so it means the infancy period of a book.
03:07Rick, you brought me in. What are you worried about?
03:10I don't know if this is great condition or this is really bad condition because it is 1484.
03:14Um, I've never actually had a book this old, so take a look at it. I want to see what you think.
03:19Rick, you're right that you really have to consider the condition for different time periods.
03:25When you're talking about a 15th century book, there's actually a little bit more leeway.
03:30So, for example, the wormholing that you're seeing, bookworms really did love rag paper.
03:36A lot of 15th century books have wormholing. It doesn't hurt the value very much.
03:42Now, we do have a problem.
03:46Okay, what's the problem?
03:48A very important aspect of this book is not original.
03:53Really?
03:54The illumination is nice, but there are a couple things that stand out to me.
03:59The first thing is this black coloring here. Black is a most unusual color for a 15th century illumination.
04:09Okay, so when do you think the illumination was done?
04:12This illumination is, at best, late 19th century.
04:19So this kind of changes things.
04:23Okay.
04:24It's pretty unusual to add an illumination so much later to a book from the 15th century.
04:29Today, we just consider that heresy.
04:31But what it comes down to is the book is not worth as much as it could have been.
04:35So what do you think it's worth right now?
04:37If this were a 15th century illumination, you'd be looking at a price range of, you know, $6,000 to $7,000.
04:45Right now, it's worth $3,500 to $4,000.
04:52Really?
04:53Yeah.
04:54Thanks a lot.
04:55You're welcome.
04:56Thanks, Rebecca.
04:57Yep, good seeing you.
04:58Even though the illumination was put in the book later, it's one of the first books ever printed, and I would love to have it.
05:05So, with everything Rebecca said, how much you want?
05:09I mean, it's a lot less than I wanted, knowing what it cost 20 years ago, but is $3,000 fair?
05:19I'll tell you what.
05:20I will do $2,500.
05:21I won't do a penny more.
05:22I mean, how many times do you get an incunable in your shop here?
05:26Not very often, but remember, there's a supply and demand thing.
05:30I mean...
05:31Meet me at $3,000.
05:32I'll do $2,500.
05:34I hate to see it go at a loss, but I'll do $2,500.
05:47$2,500?
05:48You got it.
05:49Meet you right over there.
05:50$2,500 is not what I wanted for the book, but I'm in the business of buying and selling things, and he's in the business too, and he's got to make a profit, and overall, it's quite fair.
05:59So, you interested in buying it?
06:01Well, yeah.
06:02$6,000 is a really good deal for this book.
06:07You know it is.
06:08Rick bought an old book, and for some reason, the old man's all fired up to sell it.
06:12So, he offered me 4% commission if I sold it quickly.
06:15You can't even find this book anywhere else, so...
06:18There's some problems with that book.
06:20You don't want it at the moment.
06:21Um...
06:22No, it's a good book.
06:23I mean, $6,000.
06:24Jump, jump, jump, jump.
06:25Just check it out for a second.
06:26$6,000.
06:27What are you doing?
06:29I'm gonna sell the book.
06:31The old man said he would give me a huge bonus if I could sell it quick.
06:34So, just let me work my magic.
06:35No, I'm buying the book.
06:36Just let me work my magic.
06:37I got this.
06:38Okay.
06:39All right.
06:40Um, I'm sorry, man.
06:41There's a problem with it.
06:42It's not for sale at the moment.
06:44This deal was in the bag, and then Rick has to come over, blow my sale and my commission?
06:49Great.
06:50I told you I'm buying this.
06:52Boss, he just ruined my deal.
06:54I had the book sold for $6,000.
06:56If Chum almost had it sold for $6,000, why didn't you let him sell it?
07:00Because it's my book.
07:01Have you paid for it?
07:03No, for some reason, you guys don't want me to buy it.
07:06Ricky, I don't give a damn if you buy it or not, but I can't sell stuff for what I paid for it.
07:11I just can't believe that you, of all people in this business, would wreck a $6,000 sale.
07:16I didn't wreck a $6,000 sale.
07:18The guy wasn't even interested in it.
07:19Yeah, he was.
07:20I was going to get a bonus.
07:21Now you're lying about it, which is even worse.
07:24I am not lying.
07:25Which is even worse.
07:26Who are you going to believe more?
07:27Me, who is still your boss, even though you are a partner?
07:30Okay?
07:31Or Chumley?
07:35Chum.
07:36I wouldn't lie.
07:38I paid $2,500 for the book.
07:39I'll just give you a check right now.
07:40For?
07:41You know what?
07:42I'll give you the family discount.
07:43$3,750.
07:44Really?
07:45And you got to pay Chum as a commission that he just lost.
07:47Fine.
07:48I'll give the company the $3,750.
07:49I'm not giving him anything.
07:50He would have never sold it.
07:51What a grouch.
07:53Are you enjoying that purchase?
07:54I like the new book.
07:55Made a hell of a sale.
07:56I can't wait until something comes in that you really want, so I can give you that great
07:59family discount.
08:00I'm pissed at Cory for being such a hard ass.
08:01But in a weird way, I'm sort of proud of him, too.
08:03I can't wait until something comes in that you really want, so I can give you that great
08:07family discount.
08:08I'm pissed at Cory for being such a hard ass.
08:09But in a weird way, I'm sort of proud of him, too.
08:10But don't tell anybody.
08:11I'm proud of you, Cory.
08:12You did a good job.
08:13Thanks, Grandpa.
08:14I'm foolish.
08:15Let's just go get each other.
08:16And then.
08:17This is a crap so that you really don't want to do something.
08:18You're so big enough to do something.
08:19I can't wait until something comes in that you really want, so I can give you that great
08:23family discount.
08:24I'm pissed at Cory for being such a hard ass.
08:27But in a weird way, I'm sort of proud of him, too.
08:30But don't tell anybody.
08:31I'm proud of you, Cory.
08:34You did a good job.
08:35Thanks, Grandpa.
08:38you shouldn't encourage him why not he makes me money what do we got here got a 1833 whitney
08:47flintlock musket gun i really love this i mean this is way pre-civil war these are really cool
08:53we're drilling on the gun came to the pawn shop today to sell my 1833 whitney musket gun it
09:00doesn't shoot it has no use for me i'm looking to get about two grand for it uh lease i'll probably
09:06take is maybe about 800 bucks these were designed by eli whitney company eli whitney inventor of the
09:12cotton gin okay the cotton gin was one of the most important devices of the early 19th century
09:18it separated the sea from the cotton since they were able to make cotton products a lot cheaper
09:22there was a bigger demand for cotton but unfortunately that led to a huge increase in the amount of slave
09:29labor in the southern united states eli whitney was a pretty amazing inventor everyone knows he invented
09:34the cotton gin but since the cotton gin had such a strong impact on society people forget he invented
09:41other things like this gun so where did you get this i do a lot of trading and selling and uh this came
09:45with one of my trades that i did then i saw 1833 on it a really cool old gun but it's not a flintlock
09:52okay well sort of originally it was a flintlock and then it was converted to a percussion cap
09:58that side plate there was originally for a flintlock there used to be a hole in the barrel right there
10:03so when they converted these they closed that hole and they put that on right there and that's where
10:07the cap would fit on okay the difference between a flintlock and a percussion cap is a flintlock
10:13is that thing you saw in pirate movies where you pulled the hammer back and when you fired the trigger
10:18it shoots sparks to the powder the powder would light up then it would send a flame that would ignite
10:22the gunpowder and then shoot the bullet out well that whole process took like a second so it's really
10:28hard to aim at a moving target with an old flatlock okay cap and ball was like the next step in
10:34technology you just pulled a cap out of your pocket and it just fit right on top of this pulled the
10:39trigger fired it and it flew a flash straight down there and the other end came the bullet do you think
10:46that the barrel's been cut now yeah i mean the way this stock looks it looks like this gun was cut down
10:52most war rifles back then were really long something that fits in a holster on a horse is a lot more
10:58practical so guys would cut them down this gun is pretty cool you just don't see a lot of muskets
11:04made by eli whitney and that alone could get collectors interested but i need to know what's
11:09been done to it before i can make an offer what do you want to do with it i'm actually wanting to sell
11:14it how much you want for it i'm actually looking for 2 000. whitney's are sort of rare but i really
11:19don't know the price so let me get someone in here and take a look at this thing maybe we can do
11:24something sounds good all right i'll be right back i like my guns that are automatic so i'm
11:29pretty glad that i'm not back from that era in this point in time hello joe how's it going i own a gun
11:37store from philmore utah we specialize in guns of all kinds and i come down and help them out whenever
11:43i can on guns that they have questions with this being an eli whitney it is indeed a piece of history
11:49these came out right at the end of flint locks they were military contract muskets this has been
11:55converted to a percussion obviously eli whitney was probably credited with making parts that
12:01interchange just was a big huge thing back in those days the soldier in the field if they had
12:06a problem with their gun they could go and get a part and fix it their own self what are your
12:11concerns with this rifle rick i want to know if it's been chopped well uh these guns were originally
12:17made with a 42 inch barrel yeah 30 inches so it's had a foot cut off
12:32so the whole bayonet lug the whole end piece is missing it's all gone after the war time to make
12:37them handier and easier to use they just hack them off so what's something like this worth well
12:42a really nice original gun in flint lock hadn't been converted you could be talking two or three
12:50thousand dollars the flint lock guns converted to percussion in this condition it's going to be real
12:56lucky to bring four or five hundred retail price wow i thought it'd be worth a little bit more just even
13:06the name of the gun but it is still a collectible gun but the condition is not very good on it i
13:12wouldn't think rick would want to pay very much money for it thanks joe really appreciate it you're
13:16very welcome now the wheeling and dealing starts can you go 500 bucks no no i mean not only no hell no
13:24i'm thinking like 150 bucks i mean all this thing is is a piece of decoration now i mean it's interchangeable
13:32parts and how about 200. it doesn't even work i can't even fire it um you can take the 150 bucks or
13:38take it home i'll take it all right i was kind of mad that they couldn't give me what i was asking for
13:48but i'm still going home with something how's it going good how are you all right another gun that
13:54won't sell not exactly not exactly okay what do we got a hockey stick signed by the miracle on ice
14:01olympic hockey team it's a little hockey stick i decided to come to the pawn shop today to try to
14:09sell my hockey stick signed by the 1980 miracle on ice olympic hockey team it is a one-of-a-kind very
14:15unique item i wouldn't take less than five thousand dollars for it today so you had everyone on the team
14:21sign it who acquired all these signatures for you before the games in 1980 my uncle was a bus driver
14:29and one of his charter trips was to pick up the hockey team and drive them to the airport and so
14:35at that time i got all the players and the assistant coaches then in 1994 i was working at a country club
14:42and herb brooks the head coach came in asked him if i could get the stick there before he left if he
14:46would sign it and he did the 1980 u.s olympic hockey team was a bunch of college kids and amateurs and they
14:53were going to take on the russians who were considered unbeatable and they kicked the russians
14:58asses it was one of the greatest upsets of all time this was the game of the century i don't know who
15:05designated as a miracle on ice but that's what it was they weren't expected really to do anything that
15:11year i mean there wasn't really high expectations for him to win any medal at all you know what they
15:16did was a miracle and a lot of experts say that it was uh the greatest moment in american sporting
15:22history if i can get these signatures verified there's no question i want this stick i know a
15:28ton of collectors who would think this thing is absolutely priceless and what were you looking to
15:32do with it i'm looking to sell it if the price is right i mean the problem is there's only one of
15:37them that exists probably not something to compare it to and it's really difficult coming up a price that
15:41way i got a buddy he knows about autographs he can tell us if they're all legit let me get him down
15:46here and i'll try and come up with a price can you come back yeah sure can all right all right great
15:51thank you hey thanks a lot thank you i'm not concerned about the expert coming to take a look
15:56at the stick to authenticate it i'm positive it's 100 authentic i'm drew with authentic autographs unlimited
16:02and i'm a forensic document examiner uh what's the story on this one i've got signatures from the 20
16:07players of the 1980 olympic hockey team the head coach herb brooks the assistant coach and goalie
16:14coach i remember watching this game actually it was fantastic i remember just jumping on the couch after
16:18we won it was like just amazing so let's take a look and see if it's authentic or not all right
16:23start from the top jim craig that's the goalie he makes this very distinct ending for his g
16:30capital j is always very distinctive and very consistent so that's interesting ruzione the captain
16:35of the team yeah that's her brooks signature this is the head coach he always uh takes a zero and
16:41codes over the k you know it's kind of like a fast type of handwriting thing he does that a lot
16:45but when you put all the signatures together it's like bringing back history you know it's not like
16:50a single signature where you've had very little evidence to go by there's all kinds of evidence
16:54and this thing is absolutely authentic all right thanks drew you bet all right i appreciate it
17:01it's amazing value wise this thing can be worth thousands of dollars if someone really wants it
17:07bad and uh i'm sure someone will pay that one day so what were you looking to get out of it five
17:11grand it's a one of a kind you know it's really neat but i i couldn't come close to that i mean i
17:17would give you 1500 bucks for it it's just sports memorabilia is just like the stock market
17:22goes up and down in value and this particular point in history right now it's down um way down
17:30well how about 4500 don't you believe in miracles you know i'll go like two grand on it i mean i think
17:37you know it's that special i might be able to get a little bit more for it double it with a four and
17:41we got a deal no no not only no hell no it'd be a really cool thing in my store but we're just too
17:47far apart i guess thanks have a good one man thank you the stick means too much to me i've had it for
17:54so long and there's such a story and history with it i i just don't think 2000 is enough for me to
17:59part with it at this time warren sir chumway get up off your ass got a couple photographs of the
18:07enola gay and her crew that maybe i'm looking to sell the enola gay was the b-29 bomber that
18:12dropped the bomb on hiroshima this was one of the biggest events in mankind's history yes it was
18:20both photographs are signed by the pilot and some of the crew members i bought the photos from an estate
18:25auction i'm hoping to get at least 1500 today for the photos uh i don't plan on taking anything less
18:30than 500. well who signed it both photographs are signed by the pilot paul tibbets um he has since
18:37deceased the the upper photo of the crew is signed by an additional three members of the crew plus the
18:42pilot the national heroes it depends on how you look at it yeah there's different views from different
18:49people trembling they estimated the war would go on for another four or five years when they dropped the
18:58bomb on hiroshima japan surrendered almost immediately this one single mission was a turning point for the
19:05future of warfare for years to come if this thing checks out we could have a real treasure on our hands
19:12how much you want for it i was hoping to get about 1500. you mind if i send this out and have it check
19:19guy i just want to make sure the signatures are right sure chum you feel like taking a ride up to
19:26rebecca's yeah i could take a ride man that'd be cool all right why don't y'all do that i'm pretty sure
19:31the signatures are authentic but having a second opinion is more than welcome by me and hopefully it can
19:36increase the value yeah rebecca's a hottie that's why chum we don't mind going hey rebecca hey chum how
19:43are you i'm good how you doing not bad nice to see you i'm just here to babysit chum oh he can't come
19:51on his own well that's all right i like having both of you here looks like uh enola gay well the old man
20:00wanted me to have the names checked out and just make sure that the signature is matched up well why don't
20:05we go into the library and i'll take a look at it all right collectors are very very interested in
20:10anything dealing with the dropping of the atomic bomb a paul tibbet signature could be worth thousands
20:17tens of thousands you know apparently only three people in the entire crew actually knew what the
20:23mission was and the rest of the crew they'd been used to these sort of you know bombing raids but when
20:29they saw the effect of this particular bomb which they hadn't expected they actually said
20:34oh my god what just happened wow tibbetts was by reputation the best pilot in the air force
20:44and he actually sometimes worked as eisenhower's personal pilot when they were going around europe
20:51have you checked it for authenticity uh no okay it's a big risk you know yes i know let's see if that
20:58paid off looks like these were all signed with a couple different pens now the date here is really
21:05significant this is actually the date august 6 1945 when the bomb was dropped signatures of paul tibbetts
21:14that were actually signed on august 6 1945 are worth tens of thousands of dollars great okay
21:23okay the thing about this signature here though it is real but it's a signature of tibbetts from his
21:32old age we know that because his signature changed as he got older and this is the signature from when
21:37he was older and probably by request he backdated it so with that in mind the signatures of the crew
21:45members are worth about 100 each okay tibbetts is worth a little bit more because tibbetts was the
21:51pilot and you're looking at about 150 for his signature okay so the total for this piece you're
22:00looking at about 600 okay um i guess that's everything you think you can give us a moment
22:07sure thank you good luck i'm a little disappointed in the overall value um i thought it might be worth a
22:13little more so what do you want to do you heard what she has to say the minimum i'm willing to let
22:18it go for a 600. well usually we would say hell no the old man really wants it you think we should

23:14this back in the day how many back in the day for you is about 10 years ago at the most
23:19i'm going to the pawn shop today to try to sell my 67 f100 truck i bought this truck about two years
23:31ago i really like it it has a really big engine it's fast as hell i put at least 8 000 into this
23:35truck i'm hoping to sell the truck today and get some good money for it when this truck came out it
23:41was a workhorse they used some construction farm deliveries etc etc trucks like these were the work
23:49course of the ford fleet they were tough they were dependable they were built to last just like me
23:56so what you think you've done some nice work on it but there's still a lot to do it needs a paint job
24:04missing a window yeah i'm having problems with uh my neighborhood people breaking into it's been
24:09stolen three times they stole this three times oh yeah so that's why i'm trying to get rid of it today
24:14i keep having to do the repairs on it instead of you know spending money to get a paint job or anything
24:18hey son why don't you crank it up might be listening to it all right no problem to this lion roar crank it up
24:31this truck's in pretty good shape but it needs a few things done to it before it can be sold
24:37did you hear that engine yeah you better believe i want this thing what are you wanting to do sell it
24:44pawn it no i want to sell it what are you trying to get out of it well i'd like to get four grand for
24:51it no to get the truck fixed and brought up to work and bring some money it's going to take a lot of
24:57money i'm looking at three or four grand for a paid job well i put eight grand in it and well when it
25:04comes to cars they're just big money pits when you put money in them you don't get it back sunk well i want
25:10to get back something so if you wanted i'll go 2500 and i'm talking cash money right now but i'm not

29:00damn brain freeze
29:04hey how's it going hello how are you good what do we have here it's a prime newspaper from 1873 the new
29:10york sun and it's a large article about the atlantic ocean liner that sunk okay this was headlines
29:18everywhere so the atlantic it was a really large ship it was like 450 feet long just going europe
29:23to the states and back that was their main business and they got off course and they ended up running
29:29the ship up on some gnarly rocks and out of like 1100 people like 500 people were able to save themselves
29:35wow it's funny where it says care for your collectible 19th century newspaper and even the
29:42little form for that's water damaged uh all right here's my problem uh there is damage to it
29:49the other thing is no one knows about this shipwreck you know if anyone's going to collect a newspaper
29:54about a shipwreck it's going to be the titanic yeah there's just zero value here to me none really
29:58zero wow okay okay unfortunately it's a no and more or less a hell no for me okay have a great day
30:06you too unfortunately like the atlantic he sunk my ship today we couldn't make a deal so i think i'm
30:12going to take it home put it online and see maybe somebody could use it
