00:00Deal on a set of rare coins.
00:02The Great Kentucky Horde.
00:04Never circulated, just amazing condition.
00:06How much you want for it?
00:07I was thinking $18,000.
00:09Then, Corey shuffles to make a deal on a famous quarterback's gear.
00:13A Jim McMahon-sided customizable headband.
00:16That's pretty cool.
00:16You a big Bears fan or anything like that?
00:18Actually, I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan.
00:20You know, I mean, we all have our faults, I guess, you know?
00:23And later, it's time for Chum to become mesmerized.
00:26It's called a spirit clock.
00:28Whatever number that you say, that clock is going to predict it.
00:31Kind of like a magic trick?
00:32Right.
00:33Is that your line of work?
00:34No, I'm a hypnotist.
00:35Don't go hypnotizing me for the price you want.
00:37Why not?
00:38I'm doing that right now, Chum.
00:53What do we got?
00:54Hello.
00:54We have some coins from Kentucky.
00:59The Great Kentucky Horde.
01:01What does that mean?
01:02My uncle had come across a coin seller who had a bunch of these coins from a guy who had
01:09it in Kentucky who found this hoard of coins.
01:11And within that, my uncle was able to score nine of them.
01:15Okay, until the Civil War basically started.
01:18No one had cash.
01:19Everyone carried around coins.
01:21Walking around with a hundred bucks was walking around with some weight.
01:24You'd have like 15 pounds of coins in your pocket.
01:29Today, I'm here to sell some gold coins from Kentucky.
01:32I got these coins from my uncle.
01:33He recently passed and he left these coins to me.
01:36There are nine $1 coins within the lot that I brought today.
01:40I don't know a whole lot about the coins, but I know they're from the Great Kentucky Horde.
01:44They seem to be very well kept and they are graded.
01:48My asking price is $18,000.
01:50This is cool.
01:53So these are all $1 gold coins.
01:56All of them were minted in Philadelphia.
01:58Yes, and they're from the 1800s.
02:01Yeah, okay.
02:01So United States all the way up until 1933 were on the gold standard.
02:06Our money was basically, you know, gold.
02:09And people preferred the gold dollar because during the Civil War, no one knew which side
02:16was going to win.
02:16You know, both sides started printing paper money and no one really wanted that because
02:21if the South won, the Northern paper money wasn't going to be worth anything.
02:25And the South, you know, they thought if the North wins, our paper money is not going to
02:28be worth anything.
02:29And it ended up being that way.
02:30The Southern money wasn't worth anything.
02:32So I could understand if you could stash some gold away, it'd probably be a good thing
02:36during the Civil War.
02:37This particular hoard I haven't heard of, we have $18,000, which is a really good grade.
02:45That means med state, the MS does.
02:47So never circulated, just amazing condition.
02:50How much do you want for it?
02:52So for these, I was thinking $18,000.
02:54Okay, um, all right.
02:58My buddy Jeff, he knows everything there is to know about American coins.
03:01He's really well known in the coin business, and he's from Kentucky, so he'll probably know
03:05about the Great Kentucky Horde.
03:07If you don't mind hanging out for a little bit, I can get him down here and he can tell
03:10us a lot more about these.
03:11Okay, sure.
03:13Okay, give me five minutes, all right?
03:15Sure thing.
03:21Hello.
03:22How are you today?
03:23Pretty good.
03:24What do you have here?
03:25Bringing in an autographed Pee-wee Herman figurine.
03:29Okay, that's pretty cool.
03:31Pee-wee Herman, pretty interesting character, Pee-wee's Playhouse.
03:35It was kind of interesting, though, because usually when you have a television show, when
03:39the credits roll, whatever characters were in the show, it'll have their real name next
03:43to the character name.
03:45In Pee-wee's Playhouse, they actually never put Paul Reuben there.
03:48They just put Pee-wee because they wanted to act like Pee-wee Herman was this real person,
03:52and not just a character on a TV show.
03:54I'm here at the pawn shop today to sell the autographed Pee-wee Herman figurine.
04:01There are three autographs on the figurine, Pee-wee, Mailman Mike, and John B. the Junie.
04:05When I was about 10, my parents gave it to me as a Christmas present.
04:09Several years ago, I found the toy, and there happened to be a live signing at a show in
04:14L.A. and brought the figure to get signed.
04:16Afterwards, I got the autograph certified, as well as the figurine itself graded.
04:21I'd like to get $5,000 for my autographed Pee-wee Herman figurine.
04:26Okay, that's pretty cool.
04:28Paul Reuben created the character Pee-wee Herman in 77, and then it was like a comedy shtick.
04:34You know, that was his thing.
04:35He would do it on stage.
04:36And then in 86, actually came out with Pee-wee's Playhouse, and that's when his career just
04:41took off, and people really took to it.
04:43It was a kid's show that adults could watch.
04:46So one of the interesting things was the brandings that came from it, you know?
04:50The show ran from 86 to 1990, and somewhere right in the middle of that, they really just
04:55started to brand everything, and these toy lines just really, really went off, and they
05:00did really well.
05:01So where did you get this?
05:03For, I think it was a Christmas or something, my parents got me this figurine.
05:08Did you get that signed yourself?
05:09Yeah, they actually happened to have a live-action show reunion in L.A. that I happened to go
05:16to and had the opportunity to get three autographs, so Pee-wee, Jombie, and Mike the Mailman, and
05:21obviously, since then, two of the characters have passed, and Jombie and Pee-wee.
05:25Yeah, I notice it's graded right here, Q, near, mint, plus.
05:30So it's an 85, which is a good grade, and then you have this authenticity letter right
05:34here certifying all the signatures on it.
05:37Okay, do you have an idea how much you're looking to get for it?
05:40Looking to get $5,000 for it.
05:42Okay, um, I would love to make you an offer on it, but there's one thing that's actually
05:46going to keep me from doing that.
05:47And it's right here.
05:50The signature is smeared, and it's kind of hard to read, so for me to buy it as a reseller,
05:55it's going to affect, you know, what I can do with it.
05:58So I think this is something that you would just have to sell to someone who just wants
06:02it to add to their collection because it's impossible to get all three of these people
06:06to sign them again on the same thing.
06:08So I appreciate you bringing it in, though.
06:16A woman came to the shop with nine graded $1 gold coins from the 1850s and 60s.
06:23She said these are from something called the Great Kentucky Horde.
06:27I've asked my American coin expert, Jeff Garrett, to come down and take a look at these and let
06:32me know if this is a golden opportunity from the Bluegrass State.
06:36This young lady has, you know, these $1 gold coins.
06:40They're from the Great Kentucky Horde, and you're from Kentucky.
06:44So if anybody would know about this, you would know about this.
06:47Well, you called the right guy.
06:49This is actually one of the coolest deals I've actually handled in my whole career.
06:54This is actually part of 700 or 800 gold coins that were found in a cornfield in Kentucky.
06:59Okay.
07:00And any idea how they got in the cornfield?
07:02You know, in 1863, Kentucky was...
07:05A little bit.
07:06For the nine coins, I'll give you $7,000.
07:09I don't know.
07:10I know that they're really popular right now, and...
07:12I mean, I go like $7,300.
07:15I'm not getting rich off you.
07:17You know, I got expenses, and I got to make a little bit.
07:20How about $8?
07:21I'll go $74.
07:22How about $7,800?
07:24Nope.
07:25$7,400.
07:28All right.
07:31Okay, sweet.
07:32We got a deal.
07:33Okay.
07:33I will meet you right over there, and I will get you paid.
07:35Thank you very much.
07:44How you doing?
07:44I'm good.
07:45How you doing?
07:45Right on, man.
07:46Right on.
07:47All right.
07:48What do you have here?
07:49So I've got this really cool, antique, what is called a spirit clock.
07:54Basically, a clock that predicts whatever number that you say, that clock is going to predict
08:00it.
08:00Kind of like a magic trick?
08:01Right.
08:02Is that your line of work?
08:03No, I'm a hypnotist.
08:04If we make a deal on this, don't go hypnotizing me for the price you want.
08:08Why not?
08:08I'm doing that right now, chum.
08:10All right.
08:11Let me shake it off.
08:14I'm at the pawn shop today to sell my psychic spirit clock from the 1900s.
08:19The condition of the clock is absolutely fantastic for its age, especially the dial.
08:24The dial on the clock is the actual original piece from the clock.
08:28The actual clock was a glass clock, which broke over time.
08:32I'm asking $1,500 for my spirit clock.
08:36Pretty cool.
08:37So tell me, why do you have this?
08:39I actually received this from my mentor.
08:41My mentor was also a hypnotist slash magician who did a lot of stage shows, and I kind of
08:48inherited it from him because I really liked the piece.
08:51Now, I'm seeing some age on it.
08:53Did it come kind of weathered like this for the effect, or over time did it start to...
08:57So the piece that is the actual antique piece is this dial right here.
09:02This is from the early 1900s, and this is German made.
09:05The actual clock that the dial went to was glass, and the glass shattered to pieces.
09:12So this was made to be period piece to go with the actual dial.
09:17I was going to say, you know, it kind of looks a little modern, but made to look old.
09:21Spot on.
09:23Would this trick still work?
09:25Absolutely.
09:25So if you give me a number, that number is going to come up on this clock.
09:2912 o'clock.
09:31It's 12.
09:32So if you spin it, it's going to be on 12, right?
09:35But if you name a number, what will basically happen is the number will actually come up
09:40and predict exactly what you said.
09:43Pretty cool.
09:45And do you have a price in mind?
09:46I'm looking at a fair price of $1,500.
09:50Okay.
09:51It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm afraid you might have hypnotized me already, so...
09:55I would like to have someone come down and take a look at it, though.
09:57Someone I know that does magic as well.
09:59And you may possibly know him if you're a magician here in town.
10:02Murray Sawchuck.
10:03Oh, absolutely.
10:04Murray's a good guy.
10:05I would like him to come down and take a look at this and make sure it's working properly
10:10and that it's still magical.
10:13Absolutely.
10:13Give me just a minute.
10:14I'll get him down here, and we'll see what he says.
10:17Let's do it.
10:27Okay.
10:27It's not a regular golf cart.
10:29That is a fancy golf cart.
10:32This right here is the 1979 Royal Ride Golf Cart by OMCO.
10:37I mean, it screams Caddyshack.
10:39Never seen it.
10:40You've never seen Caddyshack?
10:41It's a cinematic masterpiece.
10:43You need to watch it.
10:43It's on my list.
10:44I'm here to sell my 1979 Royal Ride Golf Cart.
10:52There were only 150 made per year in production.
10:56Everything on this golf cart is completely original, from the upholstery to the seats to the hubcaps.
11:02I'm hoping to get $7,000 for my Royal Ride Golf Cart.
11:07This is pretty cool, man.
11:08It's an Elmco, right?
11:10Exactly.
11:11The guy who owned Elmco came up with this design and figured he'd make money.
11:14Yeah, his name was Elmo Miners.
11:16He was at a golf course with his wife, and I guess Jackie Gleason was there,
11:21and somebody made him a Mercedes-Benz-style golf cart.
11:25Elmo was like, oh, man, that's cool.
11:27And so here we have it.
11:29Obviously, whoever bought it wasn't much of a golfer.
11:31I mean, this thing looks brand new.
11:32Like, they bought it, put it in the garage, never touched the thing.
11:34So actually, this was a gift to my grandpa from some neighbors that were moving,
11:40and they said, it's going to cost us just way too much to move this across the country.
11:43And my grandpa said, yeah, let's have it.
11:46No, I mean, it definitely hasn't been modified, which I love.
11:49And it's been kept out of the sun because this fiberglass in the sun will just disintegrate.
11:54A cigarette lighter, so old school.
11:56We got a full-blown cigarette ashtray down there.
11:58Yeah, it's got, looks like the original stereo, probably.
12:03Stainless steel grill, stainless steel trim.
12:06I mean, this thing was not cheap.
12:08Are there any problems with it?
12:09So it'll eventually probably need a newer battery, but it still runs great.
12:15What are you asking for it?
12:16So I'm asking $7,000 for this.
12:19You want to drive it, don't you?
12:20Yeah, you mind if we take it for a test drive?
12:23Yeah, I think it's time for a test drive.
12:24Okay.
12:25I don't think you're qualified to drive one of these, son.
12:28Oh, there we go.
12:31We can peruse the property in this thing?
12:33Here?
12:34Well, yeah.
12:35I mean, maybe security could drive it around, or, like, I could take it from the pawn shop
12:38to my bar.
12:39I know.
12:40You've got to walk to your bar, at least.
12:41I mean, it's a cool golf cart.
12:43I mean, it's a funny concept.
12:44I get it, you know, like, but I'm just, it's old, man.
12:48It definitely needs a little under-the-hood help.
12:52It's electric.
12:52It doesn't need any under-the-hood help.
12:54It needs battery help.
12:55I'm just coming up with excuses to buy it, because it's kind of fun.
12:59I mean, check how fast we're going.
13:00I think even I could run faster than this, Pops.
13:06I don't know.
13:06I'm kind of on the fence with the Pops.
13:11All right, so how did it drive?
13:12I felt really sophisticated driving it.
13:14You look sophisticated driving it.
13:16All right.
13:17You got a $2,500, $3,000 golf cart.
13:20That's what it really, they realistically go for.
13:22And it needs $2,000 in batteries, because that's how much new lithium batteries are going
13:27to cost for it.
13:28I would give you $1,000 for it.
13:29That's what I would pay for it.
13:30It's cool and everything, but it's a little bit passe.
13:34I just like it because it's vintage and weird.
13:36Got you, guys.
13:37Yeah, you know, unfortunately, I think we're just a little too far off on the price there.
13:41But I appreciate you guys, you know, so much for letting me bring it in.
13:44Well, thanks for bringing it in, man.
13:45Thank you, guys.
13:46Thanks a lot, my man.
13:46And if you ever change your mind, we're always here.
13:48Appreciate you, guys.
13:48Okay, you might need to charge it up before you drive it home.
13:51Fair enough.
13:52I'll do that.
13:53All right, have a good one.
13:54Thank you, guys.
13:59A customer came into the shop with what he says is an original spirit clock from the
14:041900s.
14:05He's asking for $1,500, but it's essentially a modern clock with a vintage pendulum that
14:11creates a magic trick.
14:12I have no idea if it's even something that magic collectors would seek out.
14:16So I need Murray the magician to let me know if I should get into the spirit and buy this
14:21or if it's just a waste of time.
14:25What's up, guys?
14:26Hey, Murray.
14:27How you doing?
14:27Murray, those shoes were made for walking.
14:29You like that?
14:30You could hear me like a Clydesdale.
14:32Kevin, what are you doing here?
14:33Good to see you.
14:33I brought this psychic clock.
14:36That is amazing.
14:37That's beautiful.
14:37All right, so you guys do know each other.
14:39Yeah, he's a phenomenal mentalist.
14:41I've always loved mentalism.
14:42You know, it's such a great thing because people always ask what's the difference between
14:45magic and mentalism.
14:47Mentalism is one of those things where you're trying to combine human psychology, behavioral,
14:51you know, sciences, trying to make this unexplainable experience, right?
14:55The magicians do stuff with sleight of hand with their hands, and mentalists use their
14:58mind, right?
14:59That's correct.
15:01So I'll go ahead and let him tell you what he has since you guys are already familiar.
15:04As you know, this is a Houdini-era psychic clock.
15:07The dial is actually German.
15:10That's the original piece to this.
15:12The outside, all the other aesthetics are aftermarket.
15:15Yeah, everything looks very period, you know?
15:17This is pretty wild, so where did you get this from originally?
15:21This is from Ormond McGill, a world-famous hypnotist slash stage magician.
15:26Can you verify this is early 1900s?
15:28Yeah, the mechanisms and all the workings of it, you know, you can see, like, the little
15:32dots around the outside, which are the trigger points with the pin and the actual arrow.
15:36It's in amazing condition, you know?
15:38And the gentleman that he got it from is all legitimate.
15:40He really is a legend in the business, you know?
15:42And it came from that lineage.
15:44Question, does this actually work still?
15:46It works 100%.
15:47Can we perform the trick for Chum?
15:49Absolutely.
15:50So at this point, Chum, all you have to do is basically name a number.
15:55And this dial will actually predict your number.
15:57Two.
15:58So we'll take the dial, we'll put it back, and all we're going to do is spin it again.
16:01And let's hope the clock heard what you said and actually predicts your time.
16:09There it is.
16:11Two o'clock.
16:12Oh, wow.
16:13Dude, that's amazing.
16:14Nice job.
16:15Pretty cool.
16:16So how much do you think this pendulum is actually worth?
16:19Because I think that's where all the value is.
16:21Sure.
16:21It's so rare, and there's not many around.
16:23You're looking at $2,000.
16:25All right.
16:26Thanks for coming in, Murray.
16:27You're welcome.
16:27Good luck.
16:28And if you decide to get it, you're welcome to open for me and my show.
16:31See you later.
16:31All right.
16:32Now hurry up and disappear.
16:34All right.
16:35Well, it's definitely pretty cool.
16:37Love to buy it for $1,000.
16:38I can go $1,250.
16:42So you'll go $1,000.
16:47All right, chum.
16:47You got a deal.
16:48All right.
16:48Sounds good.
16:49Appreciate you.
16:50If it stops working when you leave, I'm going to know you hypnotized me.
16:53All right.
16:53Come on.
16:55I'll write you up over here.
17:01Hey, what's going on?
17:02How are you?
17:03What do we got?
17:03Got a movie poster for you.
17:05Okay, let's go ahead and roll it real quick.
17:06All right.
17:09Okay, the Goonies.
17:11Pretty old, right?
17:121985.
17:13Original Goonies theatrical release movie poster.
17:16This is the map version.
17:17This one seems to be the most rare.
17:19And I want to say I remember something along the lines of something about one-eyed Willie's treasure
17:24and this really, really mean-looking old lady was going to cut somebody's tongue out for talking.
17:30Those are like the big key takeaways I had of the movie when I was a kid.
17:35I'm at the pawn shop because I'm looking to sell my Goonies poster.
17:38My Goonies poster is a map version of one of two versions of the poster itself that's very rare.
17:45In 1985, I was a movie theater manager.
17:47This poster is an extra poster that never, ever saw the light of day in any of the display cases.
17:54I'm hoping to get around $2,000 for my movie poster.
17:57This is pretty cool, man.
18:00So, Goonies, I mean, iconic classic movie.
18:04Steven Spielberg, his production company, his people wrote the story.
18:07Who in 1985 was not going to watch something that the guy from E.T. had something to do with?
18:12Because at this moment in time, Steven Spielberg could do absolutely no wrong.
18:16There was Corey Feldman.
18:17He was huge at the time.
18:19You have Josh Brolin.
18:20He's a pretty big actor these days.
18:23They're still selling merch.
18:24People still like it.
18:25I mean, they're still making a ton of money off the movie.
18:27Oh, sure.
18:28So, this is the treasure map edition.
18:30I don't know if it's the most common or if it's the least common.
18:33I know they had quite a few of them.
18:35Tell me where you got it.
18:36So, I used to manage movie theaters.
18:38And I started collecting movie posters from 1978 through the 80s.
18:42And this is one of the posters.
18:44Okay.
18:44When it comes to these, condition is everything.
18:46And it's always kind of weird to me because they are supposed to be folded.
18:50So, did this one come folded?
18:51You were there.
18:52Right.
18:52So, most of the posters from the 80s and the 70s came folded just like this.
18:57You could see the crease marks in it.
18:58And when I stored them, I stored them rolled because it would actually help keep the creases
19:06from losing any kind of flakes of printed material.
19:09Okay.
19:10How much are you looking to get out of it?
19:12About $2,000.
19:13Okay.
19:14Some of these things could be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
19:17Some of them could be worth absolutely nothing.
19:19I got a buddy.
19:20This is what he does for a living.
19:20Do you mind if I bring him down here and have him take a look?
19:22Sure.
19:23All right.
19:23Just hang out.
19:24I'll be back soon, okay?
19:25Okay.
19:28A guy came into the shop with what he says is an original one-sheet poster from the 1985
19:36movie, The Goonies.
19:38It's not the typical artwork you see on Goonies merchandise.
19:41So, I'm having our poster expert, Andrew, come over here and take a look and tell me if
19:45this deal could be the treasure of One-Eyed Willie.
19:49All right.
19:50The Goonies.
19:51Hey, you guys.
19:52Love it.
19:53This is fantastic.
19:54A group of kids trying to save their parents' home in Astoria.
19:57Finds a map in the attic, goes on a crazy treasure hunt, wind up in a cave.
20:01And that's actually the cave version of this.
20:04That's the style A, right?
20:06And then this is the map version, the style B, which is the rare version.
20:09This is the artwork by John Alvin.
20:11This one actually, when he was designing this, the characters were much clearer.
20:15And, you know, one of the producers or somebody in the ad campaign had them darken it so that
20:20it became kind of more of like a silhouette of the figure.
20:22And that does kind of draw your eyes to the detail of the map, which the map is the premise
20:27of the story, basically.
20:28That's what gets them on the treasure hunt, is them finding this map.
20:32Okay.
20:32So, obviously it was folded.
20:34Was it supposed to be folded?
20:36There are rolled releases of this, but sometimes it was also distributed folded.
20:40In the 80s is kind of when we started gravitating into shipping them out rolled.
20:44So, the folds on this are okay.
20:45And they look pretty sharp and pretty precise.
20:47And so, I'm, you know, led to believe that it's a distribution fold.
20:51But it certainly looks authentic to me.
20:53Absolutely.
20:54Okay.
20:55What do you think it's worth?
20:56Well, I mean, it is the rare, which actually in a way kind of plays against it.
20:59Because what you see on the t-shirt and what you see on the souvenir lunchbox is the cave
21:04version.
21:05And that's kind of what everyone associates with this movie.
21:08So, it's less common, but is it more desirable?
21:11And the answer is not really.
21:12You know, you can see the cave version go as high as maybe 2,000 when it's rolled.
21:18This one, it looks like it's held up really well.
21:21You can see some pigment loss at the center folds as well as some misfolds where it kind
21:25of kinked at the fold or didn't line up.
21:27It's okay.
21:27It's in good shape.
21:28Were it rolled, it would be over 1,000.
21:31As it sits, the folded version, I'd put this one at $500.
21:35Well, I wasn't expecting it to be more, especially since it's the rare of the two.
21:41And that's understandable.
21:42Going off of sales prices, sales trends, this one rarely touches 1,000.
21:47And when it does, it's the rolled version.
21:50Okay.
21:51But once again, Andrew, thanks a lot.
21:52Anytime, Corey.
21:52My pleasure.
21:53Good luck, sir.
21:54Well, my man, you heard everything my guy had to say.
21:57Um, you know, I was hoping it was more for you.
21:59I really liked it.
22:00Um, I don't see you wanting to take anywhere around $200 for it, do you?
22:04Uh, no.
22:05Not at all.
22:06I wouldn't blame you, man.
22:07You have a good day, sir.
22:08Thank you very much.
22:08Let me help you with this real quick.
22:09Hello?
22:11Hello.
22:12Hello.
22:12What do we have here?
22:19Charlie Brown and Charlie Schultz.
22:22Books signed by Charles Schultz with Snoopy on a dockhouse.
22:26This is pretty cool.
22:27Where'd you get this?
22:28Bought an estate sale about five years ago.
22:31Okay.
22:31Well, I mean, it's Charlie Brown.
22:33I mean, like, you know, he could never get a break.
22:35You know, Lucy.
22:36Lucy.
22:36Yeah.
22:36You know, his nemesis.
22:38Could she just let him hit the football once?
22:40Yes.
22:41Yeah.
22:41For sure.
22:42For sure.
22:43I'm here at the pawn shop to sell my Charles Schultz book with a drawing of Snoopy and signed
22:49by Charles Schultz.
22:50I would say it's okay condition.
22:52It's not great condition, but it is a first edition book.
22:54I'm looking to sell it because I thought, well, maybe somebody else would like to own
22:58it.
22:59My asking price is $2,000.
23:02This is really cool.
23:04Charles Schultz, absolute icon.
23:07He was an illustrator.
23:08I mean, the Charlie Brown strip, I think, started in 1950.
23:12It was just clean, fun.
23:15By the 1960s, it blew up.
23:17Everyone in the world loved Charlie Brown, Linus, Pigpen, Peppermint Patty, the whole crew.
23:23I guess my favorite character has to be Snoopy because who could not love Snoopy?
23:29Linus, a warm-hearted biography of a wonderful man and a wonderful boy who proved that being
23:34a loser could be the biggest success story of all.
23:37All right.
23:38And is this a sketch done by the man himself, Charles Schultz?
23:42It is.
23:43And Snoopy's most iconic pose.
23:45Yeah.
23:45It's in pretty rough shape, but it is first edition.
23:49So we got a lot going on here.
23:51I mean, this is really cool.
23:52I mean, if this is all legit right here, that's a lot of money.
23:56Mm-hmm.
23:57Okay.
23:58How much are you looking to get?
23:59I'm looking to get $2,000.
24:01Okay.
24:01If it is indeed a first edition, there's probably something here.
24:06Okay.
24:06Even in bad shape like this.
24:07So I'm going to have my book expert come in, but she literally is the smartest book
24:11person on the planet.
24:12Excellent.
24:13Okay.
24:13Give me five minutes.
24:14Very good.
24:15There's a guy in the shop with a first edition copy of the book, Charlie Brown and Charles
24:42Schultz that he's asking $2,000 for.
24:44The first page has a hand-drawn comic of Snoopy sitting on his iconic doghouse, and it's signed
24:51by Charles Schultz.
24:52I've asked Rebecca to come by and snoop through this book to see if it's worth the asking price.
24:59Hey, Rick.
24:59Okay, so we have Charlie Brown.
25:03It's a little rough, but it's apparently signed Charles Schultz.
25:08So this book was produced after Charles Schultz becomes huge.
25:12Everyone knows Charlie Brown, so it is much more of a sort of behind the scenes for all
25:16the many, many fans of Peanuts.
25:18And it is treated that way.
25:20You get a little bit of a retrospective of the comics over the years, as well as a little
25:25bit of biographical information about Schultz, and it is really meant to be a sort of memento
25:31popular piece for anyone who's into Peanuts, which means it was printed in a huge amount
25:37of copies, and therefore it's a relatively common book.
25:40However, that changes when you open it and you go, oh, I see there's a drawing of Snoopy,
25:46which is what you want if you're going to have a Schultz drawing.
25:49And then this is one of the books they make it very easy for you.
25:52They literally say first printing on the copyright page.
25:57Okay, so the other thing, though, we have to talk about is the condition here.
26:04So this is what we call damp stain.
26:07And damp stain is evidence of some type of exposure to moisture.
26:12In this case, it really looks like this got hit with some type of water pretty extensively.
26:18It becomes a magnet for mold.
26:21And mold is one of the biggest enemies of books, because mold can spread.
26:27The question is how you feel about this and whether this is salvageable in some form.
26:31And for that reason, I would suggest bringing Steve Grad in.
26:35Okay.
26:35I mean, so you're just basically saying there's not a lot of money for this book.
26:39A fine copy of this without the signature is $50.
26:43This type of a sketch in a book that's in fine condition could be $3,000.
26:48But that's not the realm we're living in for this copy.
26:51Okay.
26:52All right.
26:52So I got to figure out if that sketch is real and figure out just what the sketch is worth.
26:56Yes.
26:58Okay.
26:59Yeah.
26:59Uh-huh.
27:00All right.
27:03Okay.
27:03We got the problem of the book's in terrible condition.
27:07All right.
27:08So let me call Steve Grad.
27:09He's been my autograph guy for years and years.
27:12I'll get him down here.
27:14He'll look at it.
27:15And then we'll figure something out.
27:16Okay.
27:16Very good.
27:17Excellent.
27:17Okay.
27:17All right.
27:18Right back.
27:27Hello.
27:28Hey, how's it going?
27:29Pretty good.
27:29What do you have here?
27:30This is a 1994 Ultra X-Men factory sealed box.
27:35Where did you get it?
27:36A friend of mine just said, hey, I have a box of Ultra X-Men.
27:40Thought I'd buy it.
27:41So it is super cool.
27:42So do you collect cards?
27:44I don't, but I watched a lot of X-Men growing up, so I figured, why not get it?
27:48Card collecting is huge, especially over the last few years.
27:51It's really starting to get popular.
27:52And Marvel's always been a fan favorite.
27:55So in 1994, Flair would have released this jumbo box.
27:59They would have released a regular booster box, and they would have released a Walmart exclusive.
28:04Okay.
28:05So this is a factory sealed case.
28:07And inside of this case would be 10 sealed jumbo booster boxes.
28:11And inside of each jumbo booster box would be 36 packs.
28:15So you have 360 packs here.
28:18People will buy these when they come out because they want to get the special cards.
28:22That's really what people are chasing.
28:24But at the same time this came out, you could go to Walmart, and for whatever, 50 or 100 bucks, you could buy the complete set.
28:30But the Walmart box wouldn't have any inserts.
28:32It would just be the complete base set.
28:34Right.
28:35But different collectors do different things.
28:37You know, some people don't really care about the whole set.
28:39They just want to collect the special inserts.
28:41And there would have been a few different special inserts in here.
28:44I know one of them for surely was the battle scenes, and people really liked those cards.
28:48It's really nice that it has a factory seal on it.
28:51But for this particular product, I don't think that really matters.
28:54Something like Pokemon, you can get a premium for something like this because people actually will collect a sealed box.
29:00But I've never heard of a Marvel collector collecting a sealed box of Marvel cards.
29:05Do you have, like, a price in mind?
29:07I'm trying to get at least $9,000.
29:09Okay.
29:10There's not really a lot of extra value in here because the inserts, the special cards that come here, you can get all six for 50 bucks.
29:16If this is a jumbo box in here, you have max value, $2,400.
29:21So $1,600 would be the max I could do for it.
29:24Would you be willing to go, like, $5,000?
29:28There's not even $5,000 worth of cards in there.
29:30Yeah.
29:31$1,600 would be the most I can do.
29:34Okay.
29:34Well, I guess I'll keep it at that price.
29:36All right.
29:36Well, thanks for coming in.
29:40How are you doing today?
30:01I'm doing great.
30:03All right.
30:03This is pretty cool.
30:04Tell me what you have here.
30:05So this is a 1950s Gretsch Peacock Sparkle snare drum.
30:12Okay.
30:12So drums, do you collect them?
30:14You know, I've been playing drums since I was a kid.
30:17And before I knew it, I had, like, a whole room full of them.
30:21I'm here at the pawn shop today to try to sell my Sparkle Pearl snare drum.
30:28I've been playing drums ever since I was a kid.
30:31So I've been collecting rare and vintage drums for the last 40 years.
30:36What makes this drum so special is the fact that the Peacock Sparkle finish is extremely rare.
30:45I want to get 7,800 bucks for my Gretsch Peacock Sparkle snare.
30:51This is pretty interesting.
30:54I mean, Gretsch is a fantastic company.
30:56They started in 1883.
30:58It's one of the oldest American instrument companies that are still around today.
31:01And they have a pretty cool story.
31:04Frederick Gretsch came over from Germany as an immigrant.
31:07And he started this music company making musical instruments, drums, banjos, tambourines.
31:13And they were very quality musical instruments.
31:15And over time, they started to make better stuff.
31:18And then really after World War II, you know, the 1950s to 60s was kind of their golden era
31:23where they were doing all this cool colorways and just making an incredible product.
31:28Not only are they very playable and sound good, people like to collect them.
31:32Yes, precisely.
31:33So where did you get this?
31:35So I got this from a drum collector who was thinning out his collection.
31:41Okay, it's definitely really cool.
31:42It looks like maybe it has a new head on it.
31:44Yeah, that's new, which is pretty normal.
31:47You know, the heads wear out.
31:48Yeah, no, it looks in really good condition.
31:51All right, well, what are you looking to do with this drum today?
31:54I want to sell it.
31:55And do you have, like, a price in mind?
31:56I want to sell it for 7,800 bucks.
31:59Okay, I'm no drum expert, but that seems really high to me.
32:03Is there a reason maybe I'm not seeing that it would go for that much?
32:06This Peacock Sparkle, it was an extremely rare finish back in the day.
32:11It wasn't very popular, so they didn't sell very many of them.
32:13And it's in near-perfect condition.
32:17Okay, um, it's super awesome.
32:20Great condition, but I'm going to pass today because I think the collector's market for this is there,
32:25but it's much smaller, and I'm trying to appeal to the larger part of the collector's market.
32:31Got it.
32:31So thanks for bringing it in today.
32:33Amen.
32:33Glad to be here.
32:35Absolutely.
32:35All right, have a good day.
32:36Will do.
32:37Thanks.
32:41I have a customer in the shop with a copy of the book,
32:43Charlie Brown and Charles Schultz, that he's asking $2,000 for.
32:47The book is a first edition, so I had Rebecca come over and take a look,
32:50and she said the book is not really sought after, especially in its rough condition.
32:56But there is a full-page comic of Snoopy on the first page, signed by Charles Schultz.
33:01So Steve Grad is here to take a look to let me know if it's authentic
33:04or if this should just go into the doghouse.
33:08Hey, dude.
33:08Hey, Rick.
33:09Good to see you.
33:09Check this.
33:11Oh.
33:12All right.
33:13You're like a Pulp Fiction open-the-briefcase moment.
33:14Very similar.
33:15You don't have the light, but, man, it's right up there.
33:17That's pretty cool.
33:17I talked to Rebecca about it.
33:19Like, the book value itself is sort of gone.
33:22Right.
33:22But, I mean, it's Snoopy.
33:25Snoopy is the greatest.
33:28Snoopy's still popular through greeting cards, through the show.
33:31I mean, it's part of the fabric of cartoons still.
33:34And Charles Schultz inspired so many other comics.
33:38You know, Jim Davis, Matt Groening.
33:40They drew their inspiration from him, and that's something that I grew up with.
33:43We all did, and it's still kind of in our lives.
33:45So, in talking to Rebecca and everything, you know, like me and she said, really get
33:50this checked out?
33:51Of course.
33:52So, let's first take a look and see what we're dealing with ink-wise.
33:56And that's a fiber tip marker on there, and you could get a pretty good idea of that.
34:01You could see that's live ink on there.
34:02No issues with that.
34:03The next thing I want to do is kind of just look at some examples of his signature.
34:08Unfortunately, he's also heavily forged.
34:11Full name signature here.
34:12This whole area is really bothering me.
34:14And if I take a look at this, I'm starting to see pauses in here.
34:17And that's not something he really did, even in old age.
34:20He wrote with speed.
34:21He wrote with spontaneity.
34:23I'm seeing something more clunky and more deliberate.
34:25Unfortunately, I don't think this is good.
34:28Rick, this one is not worth anything.
34:31Yeah, I'm sorry.
34:32Okay, thanks.
34:32Good to see you.
34:33Yeah, good luck.
34:34Yep, thank you.
34:34Take care.
34:36All right, well, not a good day for you, man.
34:41Apparently, it's not worth peanuts.
34:43Yeah.
34:45I wish we could have done something, but unfortunately, it is what it is.
34:49That's what it is.
34:50Hope you didn't pay a whole lot for it.
34:51No, I didn't.
34:53Have a great day.
34:54Thank you very much.
35:01Hey, how's it going?
35:06Hi, how you doing?
35:07I have an item you might be interested in.
35:09Okay, this is a Jim McMahon Headlines.
35:13That's a headband.
35:14That's what he was famous for.
35:15What can you tell me about this?
35:17Back in 2014, I was at a sports bar hanging out with some friends, and they were raffling
35:20off some tickets for the Pro Bowl.
35:22So I had to take my dog out, so I leave.
35:24The guy standing in the spot where I was got the tickets for the Pro Bowl.
35:27So when I came back, to make me feel better, he gave me the headband.
35:30That's pretty cool.
35:31You a big Bears fan or anything like that?
35:33Actually, I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan.
35:35You know, I mean, we all have our faults, I guess, you know?
35:39I'm here to sell a headband signed by Jim McMahon from the Chicago Bears legendary quarterback.
35:44I think it's cool because he was one of the original Bad Boys, and he made wearing a headband
35:49cool.
35:49Overall, the condition's really good.
35:51It's still inside the box.
35:53There are a couple of scratches here and there, but it's really in good condition, and it was
35:57also PSA certified.
35:58I'm asking for $150, and I came up with that price.
36:01I did a little bit of research, and it looks like it's a fair price.
36:06Definitely really cool.
36:07You know, Jim McMahon came out in 1981, was his rookie year.
36:10He came out of BYU.
36:11They would call him Mad Mac for, you know, McMahon, his last name.
36:14Just a really unorthodox style of quarterback, especially for the NFL.
36:18I mean, you had this really hard-nosed, really conservative NFL, and then you go to the
36:2285 Bears, where these guys are doing MTV songs and video shoots and really great football
36:29players, horrible dancers, horrible singers in the music video.
36:31I can tell you that.
36:32You had just, like, that whole era of the NFL there, where it's just kind of, you know,
36:36the guys started acting more and more like superheroes, almost.
36:38Yeah, and we had Walter Payton.
36:40There you go.
36:42And McMahon, I mean, he was a phenomenal quarterback.
36:44They went on to go 15-1 and win the Super Bowl that year, and, I mean, it's forever and
36:48always, it'll be considered one of the most perfect NFL teams there ever was.
36:51This guy probably got paid a lot of money to wear that Adidas headband, especially because
36:56it was what he was known for.
36:58It happens almost every year with some player in the NFL, where they're just pushing the
37:02sponsor a little bit too hard.
37:04The NFL doesn't like that.
37:05So they fined him $5,000, which back then was a phenomenal amount of money, and so he just
37:13got a plain headband and just wrote the commissioner's last name, Pete Rizzell, on him.
37:18And he wasn't in the NFL much longer after that, which would be fitting for Adidas to make
37:24the customizable headband here with a permanent marker, which is just hilarious to me.
37:30They probably sold a ton of them.
37:31I mean, that's pretty much the easiest thing in the world to sell at that point, right?
37:36Is the marker still in there?
37:38Yes, it is.
37:38Okay.
37:39The packaging, I mean, it's not that great.
37:41It's a little bit blurry.
37:42It's been crushed in a little bit.
37:44I mean, it hasn't been open, but I can see it's signed, and you have the PSA cert, so
37:47that certifies it is the signature, number nine.
37:51So how much are you trying to get out of it?
37:52I'm looking for $150.
37:54For $150?
37:56So, I mean, you kind of hit it right on the head of what it's worth.
37:58That's pretty much going to be what I can sell it for, just so you know.
38:01I mean, all these guys, they're all still eating off that whole Super Bowl win, and
38:05that team.
38:05They're all still signing stuff, so I'd give you about $100 for it.
38:11Okay.
38:12Sounds good?
38:12All right, come with me.
38:13We'll write it up over here.
38:15I feel good about the sale, so I think I'm just going to take my money and Super Bowl shuffle
38:19out of here.
38:20Why?
38:39Why?
38:40Why are you doing this?
38:41Just drumming.
38:42Any particular reason you're choosing to do it?
38:45In the hallway outside my office?
38:47Well, I thought if I did it in my office, it would all be good.
38:49That is a desk in the hallway that we let you eat lunch at.
38:53Okay, that's what that is.
38:55I thought someone was playing music loud.
38:57What inspired you to suddenly become Phil Collins?
39:01I looked at a Gretsch snare drum today.
39:03Peacock Sparkle.
39:04A Gretsch?
39:05Most people don't think drums can have, like, flair, but Gretsch back in the 50s, they had
39:11some cool drums.
39:12So, drummers play drums at work.
39:16You're not a professional drummer.
39:18You have the kind of drums that you could have headphones with, Chum.
39:20Obviously, my skills are good enough to bring you guys out to the show.
39:23Okay, you know what?
39:30I'm going to lunch, like, right now.
39:32So, keep on playing.
39:34Have fun, Corey.
39:35Have fun, Corey.
