00:00In this episode, I drum up some interest on a stick from a rock and roll icon.
00:04Dave Grohl is definitely one of the best musicians of the 20th century period.
00:09Then, a rookie card from a hockey legend freezes Corey in his tracks.
00:14This guy ran out of records to break, so he started having to break his own.
00:18And he did it all with a mullet.
00:20And later, a revolver from the Civil War has Gemini locked and loaded.
00:25I bet you you can only hit two.
00:27I bet only it hits one.
00:30Oh, there we go.
00:40So Elvis has entered the building.
00:43Yes, he has.
00:45This is Viva Las Vegas, right?
00:47Yeah.
00:47It's an original poster for the French release.
00:51I've seen this a lot of times with movie posters.
00:53Different countries have different names.
00:55But it says, love, that's love.
00:58N, whatever that last word is.
01:00It's not Vegas.
01:01It starts with a V, though.
01:05I'm here to sell the Viva Las Vegas movie poster, which has Elvis Presley in it from the original French release in 1964.
01:14I bought this Viva Las Vegas movie poster about 30 years ago in Paris.
01:21If I make a sale today, I'm looking to buy a better microphone for my recording studio.
01:26For my French Viva Las Vegas movie poster, I'm hoping to get $500.
01:31This is really cool.
01:34The character Elvis plays, come to Las Vegas, he's a race car driver.
01:39He needs a new motor for his, I think it was a Maserati.
01:42He has to get a job as like a waiter and he enters a talent contest trying to get the money.
01:46You know, it falls for Ann Margaret and Elvis.
01:50He wins the race.
01:51He wins the girl.
01:52They get married and live happily after after.
01:54I mean, most people haven't even seen the movie, but they know Viva Las Vegas.
02:00In the 1960s, a lot of movie theaters were actually putting Ann Margaret's name above Elvis Presley.
02:06Ann Margaret was on fire at this point.
02:08As a matter of fact, she eventually got a nickname as the Queen of Las Vegas.
02:12I love everything about it.
02:13It's in really good shape.
02:15I have a lot of people come in here with movie posters from the 60s, and they're movies that no one knows of.
02:20And this is kind of iconic, especially for this town.
02:23So how much are you going to get out of it?
02:25I'm looking for $500.
02:27Okay, probably a reasonable number.
02:31I love the fact that it's a French poster.
02:33If you don't mind hanging out, I'd like to get my poster expert down here.
02:36I just want to make sure it's not a re-release like in the 1970s or something like that,
02:40and get an idea of what he thinks it's worth.
02:42All right.
02:43All right, I'll be right back.
02:44Okay.
02:46I've been referred to as the King of Las Vegas.
02:48Not really.
02:49Hey, Corey.
02:56What's up, Ed?
02:57Let's just show it up for you.
02:58Okay.
03:00Any idea what it is?
03:01No clue.
03:01All right.
03:09High and closed is my 1800s manually operated foghorn.
03:15All right, let's take a look.
03:16Sometimes when customers can't make it into the shop, they'll mail us items so we can check
03:22them out.
03:23Today, I received a manually operated foghorn from the late 1800s.
03:27I've never seen anything like this before, so I'm going to give this guy a call, and hopefully
03:30he can shed some light on this unusual item.
03:36All right.
03:41Hey, how's it going?
03:42Are you Wayne?
03:44Yes.
03:44How you doing?
03:45Corey from the pawn shop here.
03:46I got your foghorn.
03:48What can you tell me about it?
03:49Well, I found it at a estate sale over last summer.
03:53The gentleman had a bunch of antiques, and it was something that interested me.
03:58I mean, it's actually pretty cool.
03:59I mean, it's a portable foghorn.
04:01It wasn't something that had to have a giant motor or a steam engine to power it.
04:06The company, Straight Steamship, I mean, they had to be a really small, obscure company,
04:11right?
04:11Yeah.
04:12From what I understand, they ran two ships from Seattle up to Victoria.
04:17Normally, when you see stuff like this out from the coast and stuff like that, you know,
04:21the salt just kind of takes a toll on it, and this is in relatively good shape.
04:25So, obviously, he sent it to me, so I'm assuming you want to sell it.
04:29What are you trying to get out of this thing?
04:31Well, I'm thinking around $500.
04:33You know, I'm really not the best market to sell this kind of stuff to.
04:41You'd probably be better off trying to sell this near the coast, but it is cool.
04:46I'll give you $300.
04:47Through my research, I've seen them go a little higher than that, and I'm thinking at $500,
04:52you should be able to make a few dollars.
04:54I could make more dollars at $300.
04:55How are we if we go down to, like, $450?
05:01$450 is not going to really do it for me.
05:03I could do four.
05:09Yeah, four we could work with.
05:11All right.
05:12Well, I appreciate you sending an in, and you'll get a check in the mail, okay?
05:17Thank you very much, Corey.
05:19Appreciate it.
05:19Bye-bye.
05:19How are you doing?
05:32I'm very well.
05:33What can I help you with today?
05:34I brought some wild things in for you to look at, and here they are.
05:38Well, they look like they've been partying a little too hard.
05:40Well, this is Vegas.
05:42You're right about that.
05:43I'm at the pawn shop to sell my Where the Wild Things Are prototype action figures by McFarlane Toys.
05:51They have alternate paint color schemes and a completely different colored base.
05:56The condition of the figures is a bit rough.
05:58There are some broken limbs and tails, but it is a complete set.
06:02I'm hoping to get $1,450 from my Where the Wild Things Are prototype set.
06:07Actually, pretty cool.
06:09Where the Wild Things Are was a popular children's book from 1963 by Marie Sendak.
06:14It was a children's novel dealing with children issues like rage and anger, and it was later adapted into a movie, and it looks like you have some toys here.
06:24Not just toys, but these are McFarlane prototype toys from the year 2000.
06:29These are not the ones that were sold in stores, so they have differences than the actual production toys.
06:35Where did you get these?
06:36I collect prototypes personally, and it takes a while, but you find some really cool and fascinating items like this.
06:43All right.
06:44Is it okay to maybe pick this one up and take a look at it?
06:46Absolutely.
06:47Okay.
06:48I'm imagining there's no markings or anything on them, right?
06:50Correct.
06:51These are just towards the last stages of production, so these are pretty much display models that would show up at, like, Toy Fair.
07:00McFarlane toys?
07:01That would be Todd McFarlane.
07:03His company paid extreme attention to detail.
07:05I mean, just looking at the bird here, you can see the pencil shading that you would get from the actual book itself, and that is why they are so collectible.
07:16What are you looking to do with them?
07:17I'm looking to sell them today.
07:19How much are you looking to get for the collection?
07:21For the collection, I'm looking at $1,450.
07:23$1,450.
07:24Okay.
07:25I'd like to find out a little more about these.
07:27It looks like some of them are broken, so I definitely need to know how that could affect their value.
07:32I have someone that can come down, tell us all about them.
07:35Do you have a little time for me to get someone down here?
07:37Absolutely.
07:38Give me a few minutes.
07:39I'll get someone down here, and then we'll go from there.
07:41Okay.
07:42The only concerns I have on the expert is if they've collected or handled prototypes before.
07:49These pieces are very rare to find, so the expertise is not always out there.
08:02Hey, how are you?
08:03Hey, what's up?
08:03I got something really cool that you guys got to check out.
08:06Can we open it up?
08:07Yeah.
08:09A really short pool cue.
08:11Or a drumstick.
08:13It's signed by somebody.
08:15I actually met David Grohl at a store.
08:17I was like, oh my God, it would be awesome if I could get your autograph on a drumstick.
08:22I heard that he's like the nicest person on the planet.
08:24Yeah.
08:25He's definitely the goat.
08:26I mean, do you know much about him?
08:27I mean, like when he first started Foo Fighters in a recording studio, he played every single instrument.
08:34He's like a little Swiss Army knife of rock and roll.
08:39I'm looking to sell my David Grohl drumstick.
08:41He used to play in Nirvana and also in Foo Fighters.
08:45The condition of the drumstick is excellent because it's never been used.
08:48The autograph is about 20 years old, so there's a little bit of wearing off there.
08:52I'm ready to sell it because I wanted to get a little bit of extra cash.
08:55If I make some money today, I'm hoping to take my kids out for a night on the town.
08:59This is definitely cool.
09:01So Dave Grohl actually taught himself to play drums.
09:04He never had a lesson or anything like that.
09:06He just heard a drum riff he really liked and just decided he was going to play drums.
09:10I think he started a band at like 10 years old.
09:13You know, he joined a band called Scream in the late 80s when he was 17.
09:17It was a punk rock band.
09:19The lead singer of the Melvins brought Kurt Cobain to go see Scream.
09:23Nirvana pretty much fired their drummer.
09:25Lo and behold, never mind.
09:27You could say Dave Grohl had a huge part in it.
09:29He started Foo Fighters and he didn't really have a band set up, so he just played all the instruments himself on the first album.
09:36Like I said, he's definitely one of the best musicians of the 20th century period.
09:42So give me an idea of what you're looking to get out of it.
09:44I'm looking to get six because I don't really know how much it's worth.
09:48Six dollars?
09:49600.
09:50You know, what's weird with this is that the signature's not the best I've ever seen.
09:56This guy has had his drumsticks in thousands and thousands of charity auctions.
10:00He throws them out constantly.
10:01And like you said, he's not shy about handing out an autograph.
10:05So let me get a guy down here so I can make sure the signature's real and he'll be able to tell me what it's worth.
10:09Okay, great.
10:10So my biggest concern is to maybe get lowballed because, you know, David Grohl didn't actually play with this drumstick.
10:17He just signed it.
10:27Hey, how's it going?
10:28Good, how about you?
10:29Doing all right.
10:29What do we got here?
10:30It is, to my knowledge, a 1958 Sarkis Tarsian studio camera.
10:36A what?
10:38Sarkis Tarsian studio camera.
10:40Okay, I thought you said that.
10:44I'm at the pawn shop today looking to sell a 1958 Sarkis Tarsian studio camera.
10:49I wasn't able to find all too much information on the camera besides where I believe it's from 1958.
10:53I came across this item at an auction house about six months ago.
10:56It piqued my interest.
10:57I tried to pull it up on the internet and couldn't really find much details on it, which typically means it might be a rare item.
11:03I'm hoping to get $500 for my 1958 studio camera.
11:07I mean, well, you got me, man.
11:08I've never seen one before.
11:09I mean, it's definitely cool.
11:11So it's a Sarkis Tarsian camera.
11:13I believe he was an inventor of broadcasting equipment.
11:16And it definitely looks like a studio camera.
11:19I mean, everything was pretty much filmed live with these kind of cameras.
11:22You know, this is what they used to film The Ed Sullivan Show pretty much all TV before it was taped.
11:27So do you know if it works at all?
11:30You know, I don't.
11:31It appears to be a power source off the back, but it never came with a cord or anything.
11:36Okay.
11:36So what I'm assuming this is right here, this would be for different lenses that you would have.
11:40Yep.
11:41You'd probably go back here and twist this.
11:44Yes, and that would switch from, like, your wide-angle lens to your telephoto.
11:48They said you had your lights, so they knew which camera to look into.
11:51And you have your different, you know, contrast knob here and your brightness knob.
11:57And how much does this thing weigh?
11:59I think it's about 60 pounds.
12:01It's a pretty beefy unit.
12:02Okay.
12:04So what are you looking to do with it, man?
12:05I was looking to sell it.
12:07All right.
12:07What are you looking to get out of it?
12:08I was hoping for $500.
12:10Okay, man.
12:11I'm just going to be up front with you.
12:12I'm just going to pass.
12:13It's big.
12:14It's bulky.
12:15We don't know if it works.
12:16And I really don't think I'd be able to sell it.
12:18I think it'd be sitting on the shelf for the next 10 years.
12:22If you want a suggestion, maybe try some of the prop houses or something like that.
12:25But I just don't see being able to do anything with it.
12:29We'll get anything else going on, okay?
12:30Appreciate it.
12:32Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make a deal today.
12:34But I guess I'll get my workout in by taking this 60-pound camera out of here.
12:44A guy came into the shop with a set of prototype action figures.
12:48From Where the Wild Things Are.
12:50Before I make him an offer, I'm going to need our toy expert, Steve Johnston, to verify
12:54that these are, in fact, prototypes.
12:56And what kind of money I can expect to make reselling these in the shop.
12:59Hey, how you doing?
13:00How you doing?
13:01Well, Steve, thanks for coming in.
13:03This gentleman here brought in Where the Wild Things Are prototypes.
13:07Well, first off, this book is going to live on forever.
13:10It's definitely one of the most iconic children's books ever made.
13:13What I'm seeing here, this looks very close to production, what we would call a test shot
13:18prototype, where this is the almost final test shot that's going to production.
13:23But do you mind if I take a look at a couple and see?
13:25No, you can handle it.
13:26So I noticed that you have some damage where the limbs have come off.
13:32And that's not a horrible thing.
13:34My concern, though, is that as I look at this, this looks like tacky glue.
13:41Yes.
13:41When did you acquire this?
13:42About five or six years ago.
13:44Okay.
13:44I will tell you this.
13:47I don't know of a toy line that would have been ran in 99 and 2000, the glue to be tacky
13:52today.
13:53I believe it's been glued at some point closer to today.
13:58For you as a shop to be able to purchase this to sell it, you're probably going to want
14:03to send it off to a company that does grading or preservation on it to at least preserve them
14:08with a label saying it's a prototype, this is what it is.
14:11The problem that you have there is the glue, because it's tacky, like I'm telling you,
14:16grading company's going to look at it and they're going to say, looks like it's prototypes,
14:19everything looks good, but it's altered.
14:21So how much would you say this is worth right now with what's in front of us, not taking
14:27into account what could be?
14:29I think the set sitting here on the counter today, you would be able to realize the value
14:33of $2,000 for the set.
14:36All right.
14:36Well, I appreciate you coming down.
14:38No problem.
14:39Thank you very much.
14:40Good luck.
14:40Clearly appreciate it.
14:42Um, I mean, he still is valuing it for, you know, a good price considering what you're
14:46coming and asking for.
14:47Would you take $600 for him?
14:51I would counter you at $1,100.
14:56You know, as cool as they are, they're just kind of in pieces.
15:00If you're willing to sell them for $800, I'd be a buyer, but that's kind of going to be
15:03where I'm at.
15:04I would think your offer of $800, though, is acceptable.
15:11All right.
15:12We got a deal.
15:12$800.
15:13Sounds good.
15:14Meet me over at the counter and we'll write you up.
15:16I'll leave these wild guys here to party.
15:18I have a customer in the shop with a vintage movie poster from the French release of Viva
15:30Las Vegas in 1964.
15:32It's in great condition and the guy is asking for $500.
15:37But I don't know if it's from the original release or a later one.
15:42So I have Andrew and my poster guy coming by to see if I should get a whole lot of money
15:45ready to burn or not.
15:46The King and Queen of Vegas.
15:52Beautiful.
15:52Love it.
15:53Wonderful piece.
15:54Okay.
15:55So first off, what's the name of a movie in French?
15:57Love in Fourth Gear.
15:59Vitesse by itself means speed, but in this context, it's Fourth Gear.
16:04Okay.
16:05You know, Viva Las Vegas had a big impression that lasted a long time.
16:09Yeah.
16:10This, too, excellent artwork.
16:12This is by far one of my favorite French movie poster artists, Roger Subi.
16:16We're talking about an incredible body of work.
16:18This is within the last 20 years of his life, I think.
16:20So it's a little more common, but still, you can see it.
16:23Just the saturation of color, the motion, you know, of the racing in the background.
16:28It appears to be in pretty good shape.
16:30This particular piece was printed on very brittle paper.
16:33And you can see some of the yellowing at the edges, a couple of tears in the margin.
16:38Usually what happens when it's folded and unfolded, you know, a certain number of times,
16:42at the center folds, you start to lose paper.
16:45But yours, I don't see any of that.
16:48Excellent piece.
16:49Okay.
16:49So is this from the 1964 release?
16:52Oh, yeah.
16:52Certainly this is original, the 64.
16:54Okay.
16:55So the big question, what do you think it's worth?
16:57You know, given its condition, they do turn up somewhat frequently at auction.
17:02I'd put this one right around $450.
17:05Well, thanks, man.
17:06I appreciate it.
17:06My pleasure.
17:07Anytime.
17:07Good luck.
17:08Yeah.
17:08All right.
17:10So, um, we're close.
17:12Yeah?
17:13I'll give you $300 for it.
17:15Gosh, you know, I really would like to stick with $500.
17:20It's one of my personal favorites in my collection.
17:23I'll tell you what.
17:24I love this poster.
17:25I'll probably buy it for myself.
17:26I'll give you $400 for it.
17:27That's the most I'm going to do.
17:29How about $450?
17:31I'll give you $400 for it.
17:33$400, it's a fair price.
17:35It's a super cool poster, but like you said, there's a lot out there.
17:40You know, I think the lowest I can go is $450.
17:46You know, I'll give you a $450 just because I want it for myself.
17:49Okay.
17:49Okay.
17:49All right, I'll meet you right over there.
17:51We'll do some paperwork and get you paid.
17:52Awesome.
17:55Viva La Pawn Shop.
17:58Even though he grew up in the South, Elvis and my city are forever intertwined.
18:05I mean, how many of you know someone who got married by an Elvis impersonator right here
18:10in Vegas?
18:11Most of us know a lot about old Fire Eyes, the legendary Ed Sullivan performance, the
18:17army stint, the weight gain, but there's a lot more to the king that was glossed over
18:22in the midst of his lore.
18:24How about the fact that the famous black pompadour he rocked was fake?
18:28Elvis was born, dramatic pause, blonde.
18:33I mean, the guy could have been in the Beach Boys.
18:36Sporting jet black follicles offered a tough image that Elvis was desperate to portray.
18:41So he started dyeing his lighter hair for effect and the look stuck.
18:45Elvis is known for patenting his famous peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich.
18:52His love for these sandwiches ran so deep that once he took his private jet from Memphis
18:57to Denver to try something called the Fool's Gold Loaf.
19:02Peanut butter, jelly, and bacon inside a hollowed out loaf of French bread.
19:06I'm sensing a theme here.
19:10Sadly, in 1977, Elvis died at the young age of 42 years old.
19:14But his imprint on the music world and clearly American culture in general lives on to this
19:21day.
19:21Ba-ba-ba-ba-baby.
19:22I have a customer who brought in a drumstick signed by Dave Grohl, rock and roll megastar
19:34from Foo Fighters and Urbana.
19:36She wants 600 bucks for it.
19:38So I got Steve coming down.
19:39He's going to check it out.
19:41He's going to tell me if it's legit and how rare this thing is.
19:44And hopefully at the end of the day, I drum up a profit.
19:48Steve.
19:49Hey, what's up, guys?
19:49How you doing?
19:50What's up, buddy?
19:51Not much.
19:51Hi, how are you?
19:52Hey.
19:53How do you like this?
19:54I'm going to ruin my dad's joke.
19:55He's going to say little pool cue.
19:58So I guess it's signed by Dave Grohl.
20:01Ah, nice.
20:02So Dave Grohl is really one of the greatest musicians of our lifetime.
20:07Think about this.
20:08He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame not once, twice for two bands, Nirvana and Foo Fighters.
20:13I mean, the guy's pretty much done it all in the music business, and he's still relatively
20:17young.
20:17So this young lady right here ran into him, and she was able to quickly acquire a drumstick,
20:25have him sign it.
20:26Oh, interesting.
20:27I mean, he's pretty accessible to fans, and I think he likes it.
20:30He embraces it.
20:31So, is the autograph real, and what's it worth?
20:34All right.
20:34Let's see, first of all, if we're dealing with some live ink on here.
20:40And that's definitely fiber-based marker right there.
20:42I could see it.
20:44He doesn't really put his last name.
20:45But as you could see here, okay, if you were to take a look at the two and you'd say, well,
20:50that's pretty obvious that two different people signed that.
20:54Now, the thing about Dave Grohl is he's had five or ten different signatures throughout
20:58his life.
20:59They all vary.
20:59Some of them look alike.
21:01Now, you could see these D formations.
21:04And I think even here, he wanted to swing around, but he couldn't because it's a drumstick
21:08and hard to sign.
21:10It's that big D in that uppercase A, and I'm seeing that again, and there's no doubt it's
21:15real.
21:17Okay, so he's been around for a long time.
21:19Give me the news.
21:21What's something like this worth?
21:22You mentioned one key word there.
21:24He's been around a long time, and he's still around, and he's still signing.
21:28With that said, nice piece, great signature.
21:31The value, though.
21:31Don't make me cry.
21:33You know, I put the value right at about $200.
21:35Ooh, I really thought it was a lot more.
21:38Okay, so $200.
21:40Yeah, about $200.
21:41Okay, thanks, man.
21:42I appreciate it.
21:42See you guys.
21:44All right, give me the news.
21:45Okay, so here we go.
21:48I mean, I'll give you like $75 for it.
21:50Oh, God.
21:52$75?
21:53Mm-mm-mm.
21:54Well, um, can we do like $160?
21:57I can do $100, and I'm doing $100 just because you've got such a good story.
22:02Can we try to do $150?
22:03I can do $100.
22:04All right, let's do $100.
22:10All right, cool.
22:10We got a deal.
22:11I'll write you up.
22:14I thought the whole little pool cue joke was pretty funny myself.
22:27Hi, how are you?
22:28I'm pretty good.
22:30How can I help you?
22:31I have a Nintendo Entertainment System new in box.
22:35Well, I can definitely say I've had a lot of entertainment in my life due to the Nintendo.
22:39Me too.
22:40Yeah, many hours wasted.
22:43Too many to count for myself.
22:44I'm at the pawn shop today trying to sell my Nintendo Deluxe set.
22:50It includes an unopened, rare copy of Super Mario Bros. 1.
22:55I got this system from a local toy store that I frequent.
22:58The contents are extremely perfect in mint condition.
23:01I'm hoping to get $150,000 a day from my NES Deluxe set.
23:06Pretty cool.
23:08In 1983, the gaming market kind of crashed, and Nintendo was able to bring the home game back to America.
23:13It all started here.
23:15Yeah.
23:15And they ruled the market for a long time.
23:18They actually had no competition up until the 16-bit gaming world started, you know, with Sega.
23:23Sega Genesis, yeah.
23:24Things like that.
23:25And then we had PlayStation, Microsoft, and now, you know, it's kind of a battleground.
23:32Do you mind if I open it up?
23:33Sure.
23:34Okay.
23:36Here we go, Super Mario Bros.
23:38Yeah, I spent a lot of hours with Nintendo, and Mario is definitely an important game.
23:43People look at these as something they can collect that will always go up in value.
23:47I can see you have it encased in some protective plastic here.
23:52That's right.
23:53That's good.
23:54And all the instructions here, and a Nintendo here.
23:58Everything's in the original baggies, the original twisty ties, and has never been out of package before.
24:04What are you looking to do with it?
24:06I'm looking to sell it, and because this is an early Mario, I'm looking for $150,000 for the set, which I think is honestly a really good price.
24:16Okay, yeah, so I'm a little curious to see the value on this, because I know the Super Mario's go for a lot of money, and I know the Nintendo decks themselves, you know, unopened, unused, goes for a lot of money.
24:27But I do have to have someone come down, because I'm not exactly a pro on this kind of stuff.
24:31And the smallest minor detail can have a $10,000 difference sometimes.
24:36For sure.
24:36Okay, I'll get him down here, and then we'll talk about what kind of price I could offer you for it.
24:41Yeah, that'd be great.
24:42All right.
24:44I don't have any concerns with the expert coming in.
24:46I know it's a really cool and valuable set, so I'm hoping that he values it accordingly.
24:50There's a customer in the shop with an unused Nintendo Entertainment Deluxe set.
25:00It includes a rare copy of Super Mario Bros. 1, which you don't often see.
25:05He's asking $150,000 for the set, which is a whole lot of gold coins.
25:10So I've called down Dennis Kahn to let me know if I should stay game on or game off to this deal.
25:16Hey, Dennis.
25:16Tom, how are you doing, man?
25:17Pretty good. Thanks for coming by.
25:19How's it going?
25:20So this gentleman has an unused Nintendo system, and it came with Mario.
25:26Take a look at it and kind of tell me what you know about this.
25:28Yeah, it looks good.
25:30This has obviously been opened, but it definitely looks like brand new, which is a bonus.
25:34But as soon as you open those flaps and open it, they've pretty much destroyed the value of the sealed unopened system.
25:42Because this has been opened, it really comes down to the game.
25:45And I'm going to let you take a look at it.
25:48Yeah, so Mario was the most printed game, and there's over 10 box variations for this game.
25:57This isn't the earliest print.
25:59Right.
25:59But this iteration is still more desirable than the later prints.
26:05So what value does this particular game hold?
26:08Yeah, so I'm going to take a look at the condition.
26:11I'm going to open this.
26:12Yes, please.
26:12And take a look at it.
26:13I mean, first impression is it's gorgeous.
26:17You can tell that this has never been handled.
26:20Off the bat, there's just a couple of issues.
26:22There's a big crease across the top.
26:24I mean, it's light, but it's a long crease.
26:27As is, I would put this somewhere at the $27,000 range.
26:32And if you add, you know, an extra $1,000 for the system altogether, you're looking at about $28,000.
26:38All right, well, thanks for coming down.
26:40Absolutely.
26:40It's always a pleasure.
26:41Thanks.
26:41Good luck.
26:42All right, well, probably not exactly what you were hoping for.
26:47But I don't think we're going to be able to make a deal.
26:49I understand.
26:50Unless you absolutely want to sell it, I would love to buy it for $20,000.
26:54I got to hold off a little bit on that one, but I appreciate the offer.
26:58All right, well, have a good day.
26:59Thanks for coming in.
27:01The valuation today was lower than I expected, but I think I'm just going to take it home
27:05and wait a few more rounds until the market's ready.
27:14We got a call from a guy who said he's looking to sell his Civil War-era Webley revolver.
27:19He said he's never fired it, but would be open to shooting it if possible.
27:23So Chum and I are meeting him out here at the gun range, and hopefully today goes off
27:26with a bang.
27:28You must be Tom.
27:29Yes, sir.
27:29Good morning, guys.
27:30And this is the Webley?
27:31That's the gun I called the shop about.
27:34What is a Webley?
27:35Webley was a gun manufacturer in England.
27:38Webley is more or less the English version of a Colt.
27:40That's how common they are.
27:41It's got an 1862 date on the bottom of it.
27:44How's it look, Rick?
27:45Well, let me just make sure it's not loaded.
27:47I reached out to the pawn shop because I'm looking to sell my Webley pistol that I believe
27:53is from the Civil War, stated 1862.
27:56I purchased it at an auction a couple years ago.
27:59I believe the gun is very rare in that the inscription on it is to a lieutenant.
28:04I'm looking to sell the gun because I'm into more modern weapons.
28:08I'm hoping to get $3,000 for my Webley pistol.
28:11This is interesting.
28:14Webleys were really solid, good guns, probably brought in for the South during the Civil War.
28:21The Southern States, they had agricultural industry.
28:23They didn't have a lot of manufacturing.
28:24And basically, they started a war and then realized we ain't got no place to get guns.
28:29Is that a six-shooter or five?
28:31It's a five-shooter.
28:32When this gun came out, they didn't have cartridges yet.
28:34So it was the old school where you literally have to stand here, pour powder in.
28:39So that's not like a modern revolver like we know them today.
28:42No.
28:43Here, presented to a lieutenant, March 21st, 1862.
28:50Think that engraving makes it worth more?
28:52Oh, yeah.
28:53When you can match a gun to an actual soldier in the Civil War, it adds value to it.
28:57Definitely adds value to it.
28:58And this lieutenant might be a lieutenant in the Southern Army, which would make it even more rare.
29:01And it's in relatively good shape.
29:04How much do you want for it?
29:05I'd like to get $3,000 for it.
29:08Okay.
29:09It could quite possibly be worth that.
29:11It's really interesting that it's got this engraving on the bottom.
29:14He was a lieutenant, so it'd probably be easy to figure out who he was.
29:18So I'm going to go give my gun guy a call.
29:20Sure.
29:20And see what he has to say about it.
29:21Okay.
29:22All right.
29:22Good enough.
29:23Chum, did you get your phone on you?
29:24Yeah.
29:24I want to just take a picture of this right here and give my gun guy just a little bit
29:28more homework before he comes out.
29:30All right.
29:30I just sent it to Alex.
29:32Hey, right back.
29:33I hope the expert is able to fire the weapon and comes up with a good value on it.
29:47Hey, how's the guard?
29:48All right.
29:48It's going all right.
29:49What do we got here?
29:51It's an OPG Wayne Gretzky rookie card.
29:54All right.
29:55Unless you've lived under a rock for the past 30 years, you know who Wayne Gretzky is.
30:00The guy just levitates over every single hockey player there is.
30:04He could read the play ahead of time.
30:06And he did it all with a mullet.
30:10I'm looking to sell my OPG Wayne Gretzky rookie card.
30:14I bought this card in my teens at a toy store just outside of Winnipeg.
30:18I don't have a lot of knowledge on the card, but it's when he played for the Edmonton Oilers.
30:24I'm ready to sell the card.
30:25I've hung on to it for decades.
30:27So I'm hoping to get $5,000 for my Wayne Gretzky, a rookie card.
30:34This is pretty cool, man.
30:35In basketball, you get that whole debate who is better, LeBron James, Kobe, or Michael Jordan.
30:40Right.
30:41There's no debate when it comes to Gretzky.
30:42Right.
30:44Wayne Gretzky won four Stanley Cups, three with the Oilers, one with the Los Angeles Kings.
30:50He has 60 NHL records under his belt.
30:52I mean, this guy ran out of records to break, so he started having to break his own.
30:56Only player to ever score 200 points in a season.
30:59And he did it four times.
31:02That's pretty impressive.
31:04I mean, he's just, quite frankly, the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be, period.
31:10Keith, do you mind if I take a look at it?
31:12Absolutely.
31:14All right.
31:16OPG, not really that familiar with them.
31:18I know they're a card company.
31:19I know it's like the Canadian version of Topps.
31:22Yes.
31:23So tell me what you're looking to do with it.
31:25I'm looking to sell it.
31:27Any idea what you're looking to get out of it?
31:29About $5,000.
31:31Okay.
31:32You know, quite frankly, I don't know, especially when you have a card like this.
31:37Even though I don't know much about the Canadian company, I do know that this Wayne Gretzky card is the most expensive hockey card ever sold.
31:47So you have a card here that could be worth anywhere from $500 to $500,000.
31:54I don't know.
31:55So I'm going to need to know a grade before I can do anything with you.
31:59Do you mind if I bring in somebody that could possibly grade it and give me an idea of what it's worth?
32:03No, I welcome it.
32:03All right, well, do me a favor, hang out, and I'll be back in a few, okay?
32:07Okay.
32:08I'm not concerned at all of the expert's opinion on it.
32:12I welcome any information.
32:19Chum and I are out here at the gun range taking a look at an English Webley revolver that is engraved for a lieutenant in 1862.
32:27The seller is asking for $3,000, but the engraving actually might make it worth a whole lot more money.
32:33We sent Alex a photo of the person it was engraved to, see if he could do a little research, and maybe come out here and fire it.
32:39No matter what happens, a day at the range is usually a lot more exciting than a day at the shop.
32:46Hey, Alex.
32:47Hey, guys.
32:48How you doing?
32:48Good.
32:49Good to see everybody.
32:50Hey, I'm Alex.
32:51All right, so this is it.
32:52A Civil War Webley, I'm assuming probably from the South.
32:56Do you mind if I pick it up?
32:57Oh, go ahead.
32:58Okay, so this is what collectors would call a Webley wedge frame pistol.
33:04Now, this was made in England about 1850 to the early 1860s, and towards the beginning of the Civil War, there were Confederate agents who were contracted to buy small arms and bring an import to the Confederacy.
33:20So, what's interesting about this is that it's nickel-plated, and that's actually wrong.
33:26These would have come in blued.
33:28And the reason for that, I think, has to do with this engraving on the bottom.
33:31It says, presented to Lieutenant Horace B. Chevalier, March 21st, 1862.
33:37So, I was able to research this particular officer.
33:42So, he was in the first New York light artillery.
33:45The light artillery at that time were being used down in North Carolina to stop the Confederates from being able to resupply themselves.
33:53So, something like this would make complete sense for a Federal officer to have captured from a Confederate soldier or Confederate officer.
34:02He then probably got it nickel-plated as a presentation piece for his time in the service.
34:07And then, I'll just check the functionality.
34:14So, I'll pull it back.
34:17The trigger return spring needs to be replaced, which isn't actually that big a deal.
34:22So, I think functionality-wise, we could probably put some low-charge rounds through it if you'd like to see it.
34:27Sure.
34:28I brought some targets.
34:30Those are beer glasses and root beer.
34:32I want you to line them up and fill them up.
34:34All right, looks like we're going to have us a good old sarsaparilla shootout, boys.
34:40Firing a gun that's 160 years old is always a risk.
34:43One of the first things I have to do is make sure that the barrel is sound, that there aren't any visible cracks or fissures.
34:49So, anytime I'm inspecting these, I take it very seriously.
34:53All right, it's loaded and ready to go.
34:55All right, go for it.
34:56All right.
34:57Here we go.
35:07I have a customer here with a rookie card from one of the greatest hockey players of all time, Wayne Gretzky.
35:12A card like this can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
35:15I'm not too familiar with this brand of card, so Andy is coming down to check it out.
35:20Hey, what's up, Andy?
35:21Hey, Corey.
35:22Hey.
35:22How you doing?
35:23So, here's the Wayne Gretzky rookie card I called you about.
35:26OPG, I think?
35:27Okay.
35:28Yeah, so there are two versions of the Wayne Gretzky rookie card.
35:31There's the Topps version, which we're familiar with in the U.S., but there's also the OPG version.
35:36So, OPG, a Canadian company, they license the use of Topps' images to basically produce a parallel version of Topps cards in Canada.
35:44Now, I heard something about this particular card has sold for over $3 million, something like that.
35:50Yeah, you can be anywhere from, you know, $500 to $1,000 for a low grade, up to over $3 million for a mint version.
35:56A card, just like all collectibles, conditions everything.
35:59The 7980 OPG cards, they're very condition sensitive.
36:03They were cut using a wire, so the sheets, they get very ragged edges from that.
36:07You want to give this one a look and see what you think?
36:10Absolutely.
36:10You know, one of my first concerns is the authenticity.
36:14So, this is, you know, the most expensive hockey card, but it's also the most counterfeited.
36:18So, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find the card?
36:21I bought it in a toy store in my hometown of Winkler, which is just outside of Winnipeg.
36:26So, now, did you actually open the original pack of cards and pulled this from the pack?
36:30Absolutely, I did.
36:31So, you're living all card collectors' dreams.
36:33You actually pulled a Wayne Gretzky rookie from the original pack.
36:36Definitely, definitely did.
36:37So, is it okay if I open the case?
36:38Absolutely.
36:39Fantastic.
36:40Most counterfeits are copies of a copy.
36:43So, they would take in a real card, made a photo of that, and printed it.
36:47Most of the counterfeits are going to be pixelated, whereas the authentic card's going to be solid ink.
36:52So, let's just take a look here and see what we see.
36:54And, yeah, as far as I can see here, this is definitely an original card.
37:02This is authentic.
37:05You know, we do have some condition issues.
37:07I see that it appears to be some rubber band marks on the edges where, you know, you may have stacked those up as a kid and put rubber bands around them.
37:14That's possible.
37:15It does affect the grade.
37:16Okay.
37:17So, it's authentic.
37:19What would you grade it as?
37:20You know, looking at the card, I believe it'll grade a four and a half to possibly a five.
37:24At a four and a half, I would put the value at $2,500.
37:28I would somewhat disagree with that, but we'll see where it goes.
37:33All right, man.
37:33Well, that's what I needed to hear.
37:34Thanks a lot.
37:35Yeah, no problem.
37:36Good luck.
37:38Okay.
37:39I wish I would have graded it a lot higher.
37:40I mean, the more money I give you, the more money I'm going to make, typically.
37:43Tell you what, would you do $1,800 on it?
37:46No.
37:47I think I'll hang on to the card for now.
37:50I mean, totally up to you.
37:51If I could make one suggestion, send it out, get it slabbed and graded, and that way you're
37:56taking the guesswork away from Andy, you're taking it away from me, you're taking it away
38:00from yourself.
38:00Then everybody knows exactly what you got.
38:02That's good advice.
38:03And when you do, bring it back, all right?
38:04All right.
38:05I'm not disappointed we didn't make a sale today.
38:07I would disagree with some of his grading.
38:11I will get it graded in the future and possibly do well with that.
38:16Chum and I are out here at the gun range taking a look at an English Webley revolver from
38:241862.
38:26Alex has given us the all clear to test it out, and I'm itching to see it in action.
38:31I bet you you can only hit two.
38:32I bet only it hits one.
38:34If it's over two, you buy me lunch.
38:36If it's under two, I'll buy you lunch.
38:38All right.
38:40Get a little close.
38:43It's an old gun.
38:44Come on now.
38:45Don't fail the sarsaparilla shootout.
38:52Nice try.
38:55Oh, there we go.
38:56You got one.
38:58All right.
38:59One for three.
39:00Oh, three misses.
39:04Here we go.
39:08Oh, almost.
39:11Looks like you're buying me lunch.
39:13Wait a minute.
39:13What did you guys bet?
39:14I bet you wouldn't get more than one.
39:16And you won?
39:17Yes.
39:18I was with you.
39:18I thought you hit at least two or three.
39:20I'm so ashamed.
39:21Come on.
39:21I mean, this thing is old.
39:23Apparently, the gun is not the only thing that's old.
39:25Yeah, all three of you are getting up there.
39:30You want to know what I think it's worth?
39:32Yeah.
39:33That's why I called you out here.
39:35It functions really well.
39:37The cylinder and the indexing of the cylinder is perfect.
39:40It's exactly where it needs to be.
39:42So all really good stuff about it.
39:44It is a pretty rare gun, just that the Webley Wedge models that were imported for the Civil
39:49War are desirable.
39:51The engraving is absolutely period.
39:53The American officer is documented.
39:56I think at auction, you could see it go as high as $7,500.
40:00Okay, cool.
40:01All right.
40:02So your day's off, you might want to work on your marksmanship skills.
40:05You guys find a Civil War revolver that hasn't been fired in a hundred and who knows how many
40:11years, and you hit all five.
40:13Deal?
40:14I've actually done it a few times.
40:16Come on!
40:17Sure you have.
40:19So you wanted $3,000 for it.
40:21Yep.
40:21How much would you take for it?
40:22Would you go $5,000?
40:24No.
40:25But I would pay you $35,000.
40:28Would you go $45,000?
40:30I'll meet you in the middle of $4,000.
40:32I'll throw in a glass of sarsaparilla.
40:35Okay.
40:36All right, $4,000, we got a deal.
40:38I'll meet you back at the pawn shop.
40:39Okay.
40:40We'll just pay for it and get you paid.
40:41Good enough.
40:43All right.
40:44We got to get something to eat, man.
40:45So I'm thinking a really nice restaurant.
40:47Let's do it.
40:48Yeah.
40:48You're buying, right?
40:49Yeah.
40:50Problem is, I forgot my wallet, so I'll just need to pay you back.
40:54Really?
40:55It's no big deal.
40:56No.
40:56No.
40:56No.
40:57No.
