00:08There he is.
00:09How are you?
00:10DJ Ashba.
00:11This right here is the holy grail.
00:13There's only one of these made in the world.
00:15I really wanted to be a rock star at one point,
00:18but I didn't have the hair.
00:20Let's see how this looks, big hoss.
00:22You look like Thor.
00:23I did.
00:25Fleetwood Mac and Eldon John, huh?
00:28Yes, sir.
00:29These look like Thor.
00:29Original copies have been around the block.
00:33I got a football helmet signed by 28 Heisman Trophy winners.
00:37Earl Campbell.
00:37Doug Flutie?
00:38He's in there.
00:39They're all the signatures legit.
00:42Um...
00:43The souvenir Japanese jackets are very popular and collectible.
00:47The Tory Gate, the dragon, the great tiger inside.
00:50I think that would be an easy $1,200.
00:53Wow, that's a little more than I was expecting.
00:54I'm looking to sell my Booker T wrestling boots.
00:57Five-time, five-time, five-time champion.
01:01Fuck, here we go.
01:02Tie up.
01:02Boom.
01:03Bang.
01:04See that?
01:04See that wrist lock right there?
01:06All right.
01:21What do we got here?
01:23We have a guitar.
01:24Obviously.
01:26Yes, it is a DJ Ashburr guitar.
01:29Owned by DJ Ashburr?
01:30I think so.
01:30I mean, it's got his name over here, so I hope so.
01:33You know what?
01:33He's a rock star.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Which I really wanted to be a rock star at one point, but I didn't have the hair.
01:40It's okay.
01:40You can borrow some of mine.
01:42So do you know anything about the history of it or anything like that?
01:46I don't.
01:46I'm a GNR fan, but that's about it.
01:48People have been giving me items because we're trying to raise money for the Children's Hospital here in Vegas.
01:52Okay.
01:53I get it.
01:53And no paperwork?
01:55No backstory?
01:56Nothing?
01:56Nothing.
01:57But like I said, I'm hoping we can get a lot of money for it.
02:00Okay.
02:00Well, I can tell you right away, this is something from Gibson's custom shop.
02:06This is not how they normally build a Les Paul.
02:08So, I mean, it's a custom.
02:09The paint scheme is definitely different.
02:11There's usually like four knobs.
02:12You have more switches.
02:13It's just everything's laid out different than a normal Les Paul.
02:16I mean, it's in great shape.
02:17It's obviously been played.
02:19And you think it might have been his?
02:21It could be.
02:22I mean, I'm hoping that's why it has his name on it.
02:25How much you want for it?
02:26At least five grand.
02:28If this is really his, it could be worth something.
02:30Okay.
02:30Okay, great.
02:31So, and I know a guy who will know all those.
02:34Amazing.
02:35Give me five minutes, I'll go give him a call.
02:37All right, sounds great.
02:47You know, if you're gonna charge me for the food I order at your restaurant,
02:50you could at least order your own food.
02:52Well, this is a shareable meal.
02:54People never eat nachos by themselves.
02:57What's up, guys?
02:59What's up, buddy?
02:59They're comfortable.
03:00I'm wearing pants.
03:01Geez.
03:02Like sweatpants.
03:03No one wants to be wearing jeans when they're driving to LA.
03:06I'm going to the Formosa Cafe to check out some Hollywood memorabilia.
03:10It's like a Hollywood iconic bar.
03:12It's legendary.
03:14Elvis had his own booth there.
03:16Clint Eastwood had his own booth there.
03:18Super, super cool.
03:20Okay.
03:20Well, if you got some cool stuff, bring it back.
03:22Okay?
03:22Just don't turn it into a vacation.
03:24I'm not.
03:24I'll be back in two days.
03:25You'll be back tomorrow.
03:26You don't need an extra day at LA.
03:27I'm not meeting the guy until like about 2 o'clock.
03:30You can leave now, spend the night, and be back tomorrow night.
03:33All right.
03:33Um, I'm out of here.
03:35Do you mind if I take the rest of these?
03:36I'm really hungry.
03:37Go for it, Sean.
03:38Go.
03:38Go for it.
03:41Do you want to get some more nachos?
03:43No.
03:44Why not?
03:44I already made that trip once.
03:46Fine.
03:46I'll go over there myself.
03:47All right.
03:47Grab me some nachos, dude.
03:49Um, sure.
03:57There's a woman in the shop with a Les Paul guitar that she claims was used and owned by DJ
04:03Ashba.
04:04She's asking for $5,000, but I need more information before I can make an offer.
04:08So I called in the man who will know.
04:13There he is.
04:14How are you?
04:14Brother, how's it going?
04:15Been great.
04:16How have you been?
04:17Hi.
04:17Hi.
04:18Nice to meet you.
04:18I'm DJ.
04:19Nice to meet you.
04:20So if anybody's going to know about the guitar, it's this guy.
04:23I guess so, yeah.
04:24What do you guys have?
04:25I am so excited to see which guitar it could be, and I'm praying to God it's the one I'm
04:31hoping because I lost one years ago that meant the world to me.
04:35Hopefully it's it.
04:37Do you recognize this?
04:38Was this, like, a limited edition or...?
04:42I could recognize this guitar a mile away.
04:45This right here is the holy grail.
04:49It's amazing.
04:51There's only one of these made in the world.
04:53It's crazy, Rick.
04:55This thing went missing years ago, and I always wondered what happened to it.
05:00This was the prototype, and then once we locked in on this design, Gibson only made 100 of them.
05:07I actually played it on some of the records on 6AM, and a lot with Guns N' Roses.
05:12This is really cool.
05:13The weird thing when I joined Guns N' Roses is playing a Les Paul.
05:18Obviously, it's the right guitar for the sound of the band.
05:22But I could never get used to the two volume knobs, so I had them take one off.
05:26So there's only one volume, two tones, and I put a kill switch in here and moved the three-way
05:32down here because it just felt more comfortable to me.
05:35Okay.
05:36That's awesome.
05:37So this is the real deal.
05:38And it's funny because they put my name on it, but it's upside down.
05:42They printed it upside down, which is kind of funny.
05:46Okay.
05:47Do you want it back?
05:47It's a really special guitar.
05:50I would love to have it back.
05:52If I could get it off her for a decent price, you can just pay me whatever.
05:56I would love that.
05:57You got everything going here.
05:59So, I mean, your guitars go for, like, 20, 30 grand?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Sounds like a good number, right?
06:04Yeah.
06:05Absolutely.
06:05I wouldn't sell for anything less.
06:07Thanks, man.
06:08You're amazing.
06:09I love that.
06:09Great to meet you.
06:11So I think I got a perfect solution for this.
06:14I'll give you 20 grand.
06:15The kids at the hospital get the money.
06:17And all end of making a deal with him, I won't make no money off him.
06:19And everybody's happy.
06:21You got yourself a deal.
06:22That sounds great.
06:23Sweet.
06:29I recently got a tip about some of the items discovered at the Formosa Cafe coming up for sale.
06:34This restaurant has been a Hollywood staple since the 1940s and has been frequented by many celebrities.
06:40So I took the opportunity to make the trip to L.A. to see what they have.
06:43You must be Chum Lee.
06:45Bobby?
06:45Yes.
06:46Good to meet you.
06:46My pleasure.
06:47How are you doing?
06:47Yeah, great.
06:48Thanks for coming by.
06:49Hey, thank you.
06:50I mean, right off the bat, you guys have amazing drinks.
06:52We do.
06:53Glad you enjoy it.
06:54What can you tell me about this place?
06:55It's kind of a Hollywood museum.
06:57It opened in 1939 as the Formosa.
07:00All the celebrities would spend time here, including the directors.
07:04And a lot of deals were made here, especially in the golden era of the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
07:10Marilyn Monroe had her own booth.
07:11Elvis had his own booth.
07:13James Dean, John Wayne.
07:15Yeah, I bet there's a lot of cool stories in here.
07:17Yeah, we could go on for days.
07:18We did a full restoration on it.
07:21During the restoration, there was too much stuff that had been in storage, which is why
07:26I called you.
07:27Well, let's go see what you got here for me to look at.
07:29Okay, let's do it.
07:33This is what we have here?
07:34Yeah, here's some of the stuff that I pulled out.
07:37So what is this Aloha shirt here?
07:39This is neat.
07:40And like I said, you know, didn't know where each one of these pieces came from, right?
07:44For all we know, this could have been worn by Don Ho.
07:47Vintage Hawaiian shirts are cool and they're collectible because, especially now, people want, like, the original stuff.
07:54You know, a lot of people don't want to go to the store and buy the regular Aloha shirt to
07:59wear.
07:59And I see these souvenir jackets over here.
08:01These are really cool.
08:02American soldiers stationed in the Pacific after World War II would have wore these.
08:07It was kind of a souvenir, hence the term souvenir jacket.
08:11And they would wear them, but they would also bring them back to America and give them out as gifts.
08:15And people loved them.
08:16What prices are you asking for for everything?
08:18I mean, I did a little research.
08:20You know, I think this jumpsuit would probably be around $1,500.
08:26The Aloha shirt, since we didn't know what famous actor wore it, you know, maybe 250 bucks.
08:32I have heard that the souvenir Japanese jackets are very popular and collectible.
08:38You know, maybe $2,200 for the pair.
08:43Um, I don't think your prices are far off on some of them, but I don't really know to be
08:47exactly sure.
08:49I'd like to have someone come down, take a look at this stuff, and make sure it's authentic vintage stuff.
08:54Give me a few minutes, and I'll get them down here.
08:55Okay, great.
09:00I'm in Los Angeles at the iconic Formosa Cafe.
09:03The owner has many vintage items that have been in the restaurant for years, and he's selling some of the
09:08items.
09:08And he's asking top dollar.
09:10I'm having our vintage expert, Bob Chat, meet me down here to tell me what some of these things are
09:14worth.
09:15And hopefully, I'll be able to scoop up some of this classic collection.
09:18Well, Chum, where do you want to start?
09:19Um, let's start with the jackets right there by you.
09:22What you've got, a couple of really nice 1950s reversible Japan jackets called Tsukajins is one of the names they
09:27call them.
09:28This is a total classic early to mid-50s.
09:32Having a Tory gate and a dragon.
09:34And then this is a tiger inside.
09:36You don't see that on a Japan jacket very often.
09:38I mean, these are great jackets.
09:40Okay, and then we got this, um, Aloha shirt here.
09:43What do you think of that?
09:44I thought it was pretty cool.
09:45That's a great shirt.
09:46All of these images, this is out of the 1966 movie Endless Summer.
09:50So the most iconic surf film ever.
09:53And when they did these pop art type Hawaiian shirts, it was not unusual to find Endless Summer images.
09:58It looks like they put a cool effect on the images.
10:01Exactly.
10:02And then, um, this is pretty cool too.
10:06Oh, great early coverall.
10:08And it's stronghold.
10:09I thought that was really cool, right?
10:11You know, nine times out of ten, the tag is worn out.
10:14You can't read it.
10:15And I don't think you can ask for anything better.
10:17All right, well, let's get a value on everything.
10:19Let's start with the jackets.
10:21What can we value those at individually?
10:22You know, the one on your right here with the Tory gate, the dragon, the great tiger inside.
10:27I think that would be an easy $1,200 today.
10:30This one, you know, I'd say $800 on this one.
10:33What about the Aloha shirt here?
10:35God, that one's great.
10:36It's got so many things going for it.
10:38It's got the pop culture.
10:39It's got the Endless Summer.
10:40That shirt should be $350.
10:42And then the coverall here.
10:44The fact that the tag is still legible.
10:46The fact that it's in such amazing condition.
10:49I think realistically, $2,200.
10:51Okay, wow.
10:52That's a little more than I was expecting.
10:53That's a lot.
10:54That's even more than I thought.
10:56All right, well, I appreciate everything.
10:58Thanks for letting me come see this stuff.
10:59Good to see you again.
11:00Bobby, it was great seeing it.
11:01Yeah.
11:01Thanks.
11:03All right, well, I think Bob had some great things to say about all this stuff.
11:06And that's good news for both of us.
11:08I really like this shirt here.
11:09He said $350.
11:11Would you take $125 for it?
11:14Let's do two.
11:15Honestly, it's the coolest Aloha shirt I've ever seen.
11:18So for $200, I will definitely buy it.
11:21I think that should be a fairly easy sell.
11:23Yeah, it's a good one.
11:24The jackets.
11:25I want the one on the left.
11:27It's just a little bit cooler.
11:28Would you take $450 for that?
11:30Uh, no.
11:31No.
11:32You found it in your lost and failed.
11:33I know.
11:33If I don't sell it for what it's really worth, it can stay here.
11:37It can live here forever.
11:38I'll tell you what.
11:40I'll buy it for $575.
11:42How about like $750 at least?
11:45I really want it.
11:47I met you in the middle on the shirt.
11:49Could you meet me at $700 on the jacket?
11:51Okay.
11:51Yeah, $700 works.
11:53Okay, cool.
11:53I feel good about that.
11:54This is really cool.
11:55If I'm gonna buy it though, I'm gonna have to be around $1,000 because as cool as it is,
12:01still $2,200 is an expensive price tag.
12:04Since I'm a car guy, I'd rather hold out for more or keep it for myself.
12:09Okay, fair enough.
12:11I will take the shirt for $200, the jacket for $700 for a total of $900.
12:15That sounds good.
12:16You got some good Formosa history.
12:21Hey, how's it going?
12:22All right.
12:23What do we have here?
12:24I got a football helmet signed by 28 Heisman Trophy winners.
12:27We got O.G. Simpson on there.
12:29Earl Campbell.
12:29Doug Flutie?
12:30He's in there.
12:31I feel like I need to wear one of these things every once in a while.
12:34I have an employee.
12:35His name's Chumlee.
12:36He's a walking Hurricane.
12:37When I'm around him, I just feel in danger.
12:41All right, so you got a COA from Steiner Sports memorabilia.
12:43I don't think they're in business anymore.
12:46There's limited edition of 500, so obviously Steiner Sports lined up 500 helmets
12:51and eventually got them all to sign them, which is really cool.
12:53I mean, it's the Heisman Trophy.
12:55So the Heisman Memorial Trophy is for the most outstanding player in college football.
13:01Okay, it's given out right before the bowl games.
13:03It's a big deal.
13:04You know what the original name of the Heisman Trophy was?
13:06No idea.
13:07The trophy started out as the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy.
13:11It was an athletic club in New York.
13:12I think it started in 1935.
13:14A year after they came out with the trophy,
13:16the director of the Downtown Athletic Club passed away.
13:19His last name was Heisman.
13:20So they renamed the trophy the Heisman Trophy.
13:23So how much you want for this thing?
13:25I'm trying to get 800.
13:26Okay, sounds like it's probably a decent number.
13:29Not only is it college football, it's also NFL.
13:31I mean, you got both of them there.
13:33There's a ton of people that wouldn't want to collect this thing.
13:35My problem is, I don't like your COA.
13:37That company's out of business.
13:39Let me get my buddy down here.
13:40He'll take a look, make sure the signatures are good,
13:42and help me figure out a price,
13:44because I have no idea what it's worth.
13:46For sure.
13:49Before I buy anything that's signed,
13:51I got to run it by my buddy Steve Gratt.
13:53If it checks out, I really want it for the shop.
13:56Otherwise, I'm just going to have to make a pass.
13:59Got something here for you?
14:00Nice.
14:01Supposedly 28 Heisman Trophy winners.
14:03Signatures everywhere.
14:04When I think of Heisman winners, there's so many great ones,
14:07like Paul Horning, Marcus Allen.
14:09Desmond Howard, he ended up doing the Heisman pose
14:12right before the end of the season in a game,
14:14and you'd still see it in the highlight reels all the time.
14:16And he ended up winning the Heisman that year.
14:18He's got a cert here, but it's from Steiner,
14:20which is out of business, correct?
14:22Yeah, they're no longer around anymore.
14:23They used to do signings and stuff like that,
14:25but they kind of, you know, went out of business years ago.
14:28So the thing is, are all the signatures legit?
14:30Well, let's take a look at them.
14:31One of the most prominent running backs of all time
14:34is Barry Sanders.
14:35Nice signature.
14:36See that same S in there?
14:37It almost is identical to that.
14:39Jay Berwanger is the first Heisman winner,
14:41and Jay's a little older here, but really nice signature.
14:45For many years, a great Raiders quarterback, Jim Plunkett.
14:48Same way crossing these T's.
14:50So all the signatures are legit?
14:51Yeah, absolutely.
14:53So what do you think it's worth?
14:55Um, quite honestly, you know, you're seeing some fading.
14:58If you take a look here, Rick,
14:59you could kind of see it for yourself.
15:01It looks like there's been some maybe direct sunlight on it
15:04for a couple years here and there,
15:05and I would estimate this was probably done about 15 years ago.
15:09I would put the value of this, Rick, right about $2,500.
15:13That's wonderful.
15:14Yeah, you've got a lot of upside here.
15:15Great helmet.
15:16Okay, all right.
15:17Cool, man, I appreciate it.
15:19Get that one, Rick.
15:20So, you want $800?
15:22I'm thinking $1,800.
15:25I guess it was my bad by calling it Steve.
15:27Um, I couldn't go $1,800.
15:29It's one of those things,
15:29I don't know how long it's going to sit on the shelf,
15:31but, um, I'm thinking more like $1,200.
15:34$1,600?
15:35I mean, I got to make a living here.
15:37It's going to sit for a while.
15:38I'll tell you what, I'll do $1,400.
15:40$1,500.
15:41I'll do $1,500.
15:42I really like $1,400 better.
15:43How about $1,480?
15:46I'll do $1,450.
15:47That's the best I'm going to do.
15:49All right, let's do it.
15:59How many drinks did you make, Jake?
16:01Like 10, 15.
16:02Well, here, let's get you in the spirit.
16:03Put a lay on your neck.
16:05There you go.
16:05Now you're looking good.
16:07All right, just make sure we get these out to the customers.
16:09Got to get in the vibes.
16:11Hello.
16:12Would you like a lay and a drink?
16:15Help yourself.
16:17Oh, that's a good one.
16:19What is going on?
16:22You like the music?
16:23Come on over here.
16:24Come out.
16:25Enjoy the party.
16:26Why is there a party at the pawn shop?
16:28It's impossible to explain it to you unless you have a lay on your neck.
16:33Corey?
16:35Jake, give your father a drink.
16:37They're drinking at the pawn shop.
16:39Mocktails.
16:39Mocktails.
16:40Just have it.
16:41There's no alcohol.
16:42Here, Corey, take a lay.
16:44And what is the purpose of all this?
16:47When I was in LA, I got inspired by the Formosa Cafe.
16:51This place is just Hollywood classic.
16:53I mean, all the big stars have been there.
16:56Elvis Presley had a booth there.
16:57I mean, big time celebrities have been there.
16:59And I met a guy down there and bought some items.
17:02This jacket's one of them.
17:03And I also bought this really cool Aloha shirt.
17:05This isn't it.
17:06It was too small for me, so I couldn't wear it.
17:08But you're not explaining why we're having mocktails.
17:12I thought, why not bring some fun back to Las Vegas and having a little Aloha Fridays?
17:18The customers are loving it, Rick.
17:19And it's boosting the morale around the shop with all the employees.
17:23Customers come in.
17:24They spend money.
17:25They hear the music.
17:26They have a mocktail.
17:27Are they spending more money?
17:29I mean, there's being money spent.
17:31And I think it's a little bit more than normal because, you know.
17:34Am I taking crazy pills?
17:36You know what?
17:37If this is increasing sales, come up with an event for Tuesdays, too.
17:40We don't have Hawaiian shirt, Friday.
17:42Turn the volume up, dude.
17:44This is gonna change, Rick.
17:46Cheers, big hoss.
17:47I know you're having fun.
17:50Dude, you make an awesome drink.
18:03Hey, how's it going?
18:04Good.
18:05So what do we have here?
18:06I got these two items here, a Thor hammer and a helmet.
18:11Well, clearly it's a replica because it didn't shatter my glass.
18:16Wow, this is cool, big hoss.
18:18Thor was first introduced in the Marvel comics in 1962.
18:22And then in 1963, he was one of the founding members of the Avengers, which today the Avengers is the
18:29biggest movie franchise in superhero history and possibly one of the biggest movie franchises ever in history, period.
18:38Let me take a look here.
18:41Let me see.
18:41Let's see how this looks, big hoss.
18:43You look like Thor.
18:45Uh, dude, just, no, get this off me.
18:48Hold on, pick the hammer up.
18:51There it is.
18:53Dude, I know what your next Halloween costume is.
18:56No, no, no.
18:59I see you have some boxes over there that say EFX on them.
19:02Yes.
19:02Lift that up, big hoss, and see if it says EFX on the bottom.
19:06Yes, it does.
19:07Okay, so that's really cool.
19:10EFX is a company that is known for making replica movie props and things like that.
19:16So these would have been molded from the original props used in the movie.
19:20So that's also why they look so good.
19:22And most of this stuff sells out instantly or very shortly after it's released because the collectible market for this
19:28stuff is huge.
19:30What are you looking to do with them?
19:31Possibly selling them.
19:33And how much are you looking to get?
19:34Probably around $8,000.
19:36$8,000?
19:37Listen, that sounds way, way high, but I do think you have some value here.
19:43Since you started so high, I'm going to start so low.
19:46How about $700?
19:48That's pretty low.
19:49Give me a number we can both work with here.
19:51$6,000.
19:52$1,500.
19:54$4,000.
19:55$4,000.
19:55Most I can do, absolute most, $2,000.
19:59And that's a firm, fair offer.
20:01All right.
20:02$2,000?
20:03I'll go $2,000.
20:05All right, let's go write it out.
20:10If I lose money on this, this is going right upside his head.
20:21Hey, how's it going?
20:22Hey, pretty good.
20:23I've got a couple of autographed albums here.
20:25They're real special to me.
20:27Fleetwood Mac and Eldon John, huh?
20:29Yes, sir.
20:30I was in the radio business for around 25 years, and the artists were gracious enough
20:35to sign them for me.
20:36Oh, you're in the radio, huh?
20:37Yeah.
20:38You definitely got a voice for it.
20:41If we're able to make a sale today, I will definitely be donating 100% of the proceeds to the
20:47charities
20:47that the artists represent.
20:48I don't want to profit personally from their generosity.
20:53This is pretty cool.
20:56Both autographed and signed to John.
20:58I'm assuming you're John?
20:59I'm John, yes.
21:00Okay, all right.
21:01So they're all to John.
21:02So who all signed to Fleetwood Mac?
21:03We got Stevie Nicks for sure, Mick Fleetwood, and...
21:07Christian McVie.
21:09But you missed out on Lindsey Buckingham?
21:11Yep, yep.
21:12Well, I guess you can't win them all.
21:14This, by far, is like their most successful album.
21:16God, it was like a number one album for 31 weeks or something like that.
21:20I mean, that has to be up there.
21:21I know it got a Grammy for best album.
21:23You know, they were a little tongue-in-cheek with the name Rumors.
21:25I mean, there was all kinds of rumors going on about what was going on inside the band.
21:29I know there was an affair somewhere inside of the band, something like that.
21:32So they called the album Rumors.
21:34It'd be hard to find anybody that doesn't like Fleetwood Mac on some level.
21:39And then you got, you know, Sir Elton John here.
21:41This is obviously before he was knighted, I guess, right?
21:44Yeah, I guess so.
21:45I mean, the guy's just always been a phenomenal performer.
21:48He's always done really, really well.
21:49He was famous before this one came out, The Little Big Road.
21:52But this one kind of catapulted him, selling 30 million copies.
21:55You know, he's still going today.
21:57I mean, it's pretty impressive when you really think about it.
22:02So, I mean, you came in here because you're looking to sell them, right?
22:04Right.
22:06So, what are you looking to get for them?
22:07I was thinking 200 each would be a fair price.
22:11I'm no expert.
22:12I don't know what autographs go for.
22:14But I just picked that number.
22:17Okay.
22:17So, I'll tell you what.
22:18You seem like a pretty trustworthy guy.
22:20Do you mind if I have the signatures checked out?
22:22I think that'd be great.
22:23Okay.
22:24Let me just take a picture and send him over to my guy.
22:27He's out of town right now.
22:34Hey, Cory.
22:36What's up, Pop?
22:37What's this?
22:39You're going to have to ask Chum about that.
22:41That right there is the helmet of Thor, the god of Asgard.
22:46And I bought it along with this hammer.
22:50It belongs to Thor also.
22:52You're now a god.
22:54Okay.
22:55Um.
22:57Pretty cool, huh?
22:58Well, it's not the ones they use in the movie.
23:01So, no.
23:02Those are worth thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars.
23:05The hammer and the helmet were made from the movie props.
23:09And I have the original box with it too, Rick.
23:12Okay.
23:12There's tons of cheap knockoffs.
23:14So, how do you know these aren't fakes?
23:18Right here, EFX Studio.
23:20Which, I'm familiar with that, and that's not fake.
23:23The fake ones don't look that good, Rick.
23:25The quality in the fake hammers, it just isn't this, you know?
23:28And now tell them what you paid for it.
23:31Two grand.
23:33Okay.
23:34Um.
23:35And are you sure it's worth 2,000?
23:37I mean, what did you use as a reference?
23:39You call anybody?
23:41I'm a specialist in Asgard memorabilia.
23:45Do you know what he's talking about?
23:47No clue.
23:49You know what?
23:50I don't have anything else to do, so I'm gonna take them over to Steve,
23:53and he can tell me what it's worth.
23:54You're gonna be very, very pleased when you go across the street and Steve tells you how much these are
23:59worth.
23:59I don't know how much he's gonna say, but I promise you it's gonna be a lot more than 2
24:03,000.
24:03I know some of this marble stuff goes for a lot of money, and I'll go check it out and
24:06everything like that.
24:07But just check next time, chum.
24:09All right, well, I'm gonna go get the boxes and load them up for you so you can carry them
24:13over there easy.
24:13Yeah, because I'm not gonna walk over there wearing the helmet and carrying the hammer.
24:17You'd look cool.
24:25A guy came into the shop with two autograph albums.
24:28One signed by Elton John and the other by members of Fleetwood Mac.
24:31He's asking $200 for each of them, so I called up Steve Grad to tell me if these signatures are
24:35legit,
24:35and if so, what these albums are worth.
24:38Did you get those pictures I sent you?
24:40I did, yeah. I had a chance to go over those two albums, and pretty interesting, to be honest with
24:44you.
24:45Have you looked at all the autographs? All the autographs are legit?
24:48Yeah, no problem.
24:49So what can you tell me about the Fleetwood Mac album?
24:52Um, that one is really kind of intriguing.
24:55If you take a look at that album, Cory, down in the bottom right corner, Rick Vito signed it.
25:00Rick replaced Lindsey Buckingham.
25:02To make that Fleetwood Mac album even worth more money would need Lindsey Buckingham,
25:06and unfortunately, his signature's not on there.
25:08But you've got Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood.
25:11So I think it's a pretty neat piece, Cory.
25:14Anytime you have Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks on it, it's pretty significant.
25:17Okay, and what do you think about the Elton John Yellowwick Road?
25:22Huge autograph on that.
25:23I definitely put it sometime signed in probably like the late 80s, early 90s.
25:28I find him to be kind of a more reclusive signer now the last few years.
25:33So in terms of collectability for him, it's like solid gold.
25:36That is a great piece to have signed by.
25:40Okay, so what do you think they're worth a piece?
25:43On the value, the Elton John is worth about $500.
25:48The Fleetwood Mac, you know, it's got a lot going on, and it's a very nice piece.
25:52But I'd still put that value right at about $800.
25:55If you had Lindsey on there, I think it would add a lot more value.
25:59All right, my man. Well, I appreciate it.
26:00See you soon.
26:03All right, so I got some good news for you.
26:06So in case you didn't hear, the retail on the Fleetwood Mac is $800.
26:10Retail on Elton John's $500.
26:12So I think we're doing a little better than you thought.
26:15But I kind of have a hunch that there could even be more value here.
26:21I called in Ward to give me his take from a member of media standpoint.
26:25So you have an album for me to look at?
26:27Yes, sir. Two of my favorite albums.
26:29Oh.
26:29It's for Elton John and Fleetwood Mac.
26:31We're in the 70s.
26:32I already shot some pictures over to Steve. The signature's legit.
26:36I just don't know what the albums could be worth.
26:37Okay.
26:38This is probably two of the biggest selling albums of all time.
26:42Probably both of them in the ten times platinum status.
26:46Mind you, I grew up in the 90s.
26:48So tell me a little bit about Fleetwood Mac.
26:50English band.
26:51And the name was originally Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
26:56And they dropped Peter Green's name when he'd left the band.
26:58They were just another band from England until they moved out to California and hooked up with Buckingham and Knicks.
27:06And two albums, Fleetwood Mac and Fleetwood Mac Rumors, just exploded.
27:11They were the biggest thing in 76 and 77.
27:14Okay.
27:15So Elton John over here, 300 million albums sold in his career.
27:19Elton, he started in like 1970 or so.
27:23He was a star almost immediately and then all through the 70s.
27:27This is a very, very common album.
27:30If somebody's going backstage to get an autograph from Elton John, they take this album.
27:34So this was the heyday of FM radio.
27:37The first track on that, Funeral for the Friend, 11 minutes.
27:41Oh, wow.
27:42I think it's an opportunity for the DJ to go and have a smoke.
27:45For sure.
27:47So what do you think they're worth?
27:48Um, these look like, uh, original copies, uh, been around the block.
27:55They're not exactly mint.
27:56Uh, the Elton John one, uh, this doesn't go for a lot because there's a lot of them.
28:02Top price on that, maybe $400.
28:05Okay.
28:06Um, this one, I think this is a lot more interesting because I like the signatures.
28:12They're real big and bold.
28:13It's a good display piece.
28:16Uh, you could get a thousand out of that one.
28:19I think that sounds great.
28:21That's a lot more than I expected, to be honest.
28:23Good.
28:23Warwick, I always appreciate you helping me out.
28:26All right.
28:26Thanks a lot.
28:27Um, go back to work.
28:29Well, that was interesting.
28:30So worth a little bit more than you thought, huh?
28:32Yeah, that was, that was, uh, very informative.
28:34All right.
28:35Well, I'll tell you what.
28:36Um, so you came in looking for 200 bucks a piece.
28:39Um, yeah, they're worth a little bit more than that.
28:43Tell you what, I'll give you a thousand bucks for the pair.
28:46I think that's a very fair offer and I sincerely appreciate that.
28:49All right.
28:49Come with me.
28:50Let's do some paperwork.
28:51All right.
28:53A thousand dollars.
28:54That's music to my ears.
28:58Recently, Chum decided to buy replicas of Thor's hammer and helmet from the Marvel movies.
29:03He paid $2,000 for the pair and promises me that the shop will make money off it, but I'm
29:08a little skeptical.
29:09So I'm taking these over to Steve at Rogue Toys so he can check them out.
29:12And hopefully this is as guard as it gets.
29:16Hey, Rick.
29:17Hey, Steve.
29:18What do you got here?
29:20Um, I'm not exactly sure.
29:22Chum purchased these and he spent a lot of money on them.
29:26Chum swears he knows what he's doing, but then again, he never says he doesn't know what he's doing.
29:31So, um, I just have no idea what they're worth and I just need to know if I need to
29:35walk back over there and use the hammer on Chum.
29:38Um.
29:39Well, you know, what you got here, these are from a company called EFX.
29:42They're a high-end prop replica company.
29:45So they got exclusive access to the props from on camera and what they're able to do with them is
29:51mold exact replicas of what you would have seen on screen.
29:54So both of these items are considered screen accurate and highly, highly desirable to collectors.
30:01Okay.
30:02This is a great item for the shop because they only made 250 of the helmets and they only made
30:06250 of the hammers.
30:08And you know, whenever you have something that's really desirable and a huge collector base like Marvel has, it's usually
30:15a recipe for success.
30:16So I don't know what Chum paid for him.
30:19I hope he didn't overpay.
30:21Well, he paid $2,000 for him.
30:22I've seen individually these pieces go between $2,500 and $3,000 a piece.
30:28For the pair, I would say you'd have no problem in getting $6,000 for both of them.
30:34Okay.
30:35I guess Chum did well.
30:37Thanks, man.
30:38I just wanted to make sure.
30:39Awesome pieces, man.
30:40Thanks for bringing them over.
30:41Okay.
30:42No problem.
30:43All right.
30:43See you later.
30:44In the meantime, I'm gonna go find something for my grandson.
30:47All right.
30:48Thanks, sir.
30:57How can I help you?
30:58How's it going?
30:59I'm looking to sell my Booker T wrestling boots.
31:03This is one of the most iconic wrestlers out there.
31:05Five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time champion.
31:11Yeah.
31:12You know the deal.
31:12I don't know why he said that even though he won the championship six times.
31:18So this is pretty cool you're able to get these boots.
31:21I grew up watching wrestling.
31:22I don't really watch it so much anymore, but I still consider myself a fan of the old days wrestling
31:27when I was young watching it.
31:29Booker T started off wrestling with his brother.
31:31They had a tag team named the Harlem Heat.
31:34Him and his brother won, like, over ten championships as the tag team champions.
31:39And then in 2001, he came to the WWF, which was later changed to the WWE, and started his solo
31:45career.
31:46And a few years later, in 2007, I believe, Booker T won the King of the Ring.
31:51And that's where these boots would have came from, King Booker.
31:55Do you have any paperwork with these?
31:57No, I didn't get any paperwork.
31:59I actually got these boots at a charity auction.
32:03My boss doesn't always like things from a charity auction without paperwork.
32:06But, I mean, they look pretty legit.
32:08What are you looking to do with them?
32:10Well, I'm looking to get rid of them today.
32:11And how much are you looking to get for them?
32:14Um, you know, I'm looking to get about $6,000 for them today.
32:17Would you take $2,000?
32:19Absolutely not.
32:20Without the paperwork, the top dollar I'm going to be able to pay is $3,000.
32:25Wow.
32:26I mean, I'm going to have to figure out how to get these authenticated,
32:28or I'm just going to have to sell them with the risk that they're going to be brought back here,
32:33someone saying they're fake.
32:34Three grand.
32:35Three grand.
32:37You know what? We'll do $3,000.
32:39All right, meet me over here at the desk and we'll write them up.
32:41All right, cool.
32:47Good job.
32:49What's up, guys?
32:50I'm assuming you have something to do with this.
32:52With what?
32:54I told you to order work shirts. These aren't work shirts.
32:57World famous gold and silver pawn shop, Las Vegas. It's got the logo.
33:01The work shirt is a black polo with a gold logo.
33:04I'm not a salmon kind of guy.
33:06I don't know. It matches your head pretty good.
33:10What's up with the Booker T boots?
33:11I bought these boots from a customer for $3,000.
33:15Where did they get them?
33:16They got them from a charity auction.
33:18I've told you a million times charity auctions, like half the stuff is fake.
33:21Well, that's why I offered him such a low amount because he didn't have any paperwork on them, so...
33:26How do you know they're Booker Ts?
33:28They say Booker T on them.
33:30But I can't say they're his boots because I have no documentation saying they're his boots.
33:35I'll get some documentation for you. I'm working on that right now, actually.
33:38I sent a few DMs to his people. They're going to try and get Booker T to authenticate him for
33:43me, but...
33:43He's going to come out to Vegas?
33:45Not anytime soon. He's in Houston, so the best I can do is just get a picture authenticated for now.
33:50Well, I'm actually going to Houston.
33:53You're going to Houston now?
33:54Um, there's a big art collector down there. He has a bunch of stuff he wants to sell.
33:57I'm gonna go take a look at it.
33:58Should I go with you and get these authenticated while you're out there?
34:01That sounds absolutely great. Um, and I'll agree to that right after you order the new shirts.
34:07I gotta see if I can actually meet Booker T.
34:10Good luck with that one.
34:11Thank you. I might need it.
34:17I'm in Houston meeting up with a huge art collector that's willing to sell a few of his pieces.
34:23A balloon dog and a puppy vase by the artist Jeff Koons and Andy Warhol from the election night of
34:301984.
34:31He's asking $60,000 for all three pieces, but I actually know an art appraiser here in Houston.
34:37Heidi, this is Lester, so I've asked her to come down and help me out.
34:42So, what do you think?
34:43Okay.
34:44We have the Andy Warhol.
34:45I think that's the debate invitation for 1984?
34:49That's the election night invitation for 1984.
34:54Reagan Bush and Mondale Ferrara.
34:57Warhol did work with politicians, but this is very rare.
35:02Okay.
35:03Okay.
35:04And then we have the Porcelain Puppy.
35:07That's from 1998, an original edition of 3,000 with 50 artist proofs.
35:13I think it's pretty fabulous.
35:15So, it looks correct?
35:16Absolutely.
35:18And the doggy on a plate.
35:19The balloon dog.
35:21This is from 1995.
35:23You can find various colors.
35:25Some might argue the red is more desirable than other colors.
35:29I think it's everything you would want to see in a Jeff Koons balloon dog porcelain plate.
35:36If you were selling these in your gallery, what would you be selling them for?
35:39So, the Koons pieces are well known.
35:43Mm-hmm.
35:43I think in my gallery, I would have that Jeff Koons priced at $20,000.
35:49Balloon dog, I would price at $11,000.
35:53Mm-hmm.
35:54The Andy Warhol invitation.
35:57While it's small and I know it's probably an open edition, I would have it at $6,000.
36:03I wouldn't think so.
36:04And you'll never have a work like this in your gallery because they are just that rare.
36:09All right.
36:09Well, I got some prices.
36:10Thank you very much.
36:11You're absolutely amazing.
36:12And I will let you know if I get them.
36:13Okay.
36:14I'd love to know.
36:14All right.
36:15Take care.
36:18Mm.
36:19Her prices were different than your prices.
36:22I have a pawn shop.
36:23I sell to Middle America and everything else like that.
36:26So, when they walk in the door, they're not going to recognize that.
36:29So, I'll just say no.
36:30And one of the problems with selling art that deals with politics, half the country don't want it.
36:35So, a big no on that one, too.
36:37But I would give you $5,000 for the balloon puppy.
36:39How about we go to $15,000?
36:41Ah, there's no way I'd go to $15,000.
36:43I mean, she's saying she would retail it for $11,000.
36:45If I let it go for $8,000, that would be my absolute bottom line.
36:51And it's-
36:52How about $6,000?
36:53It's not going to happen.
36:55I-
36:55I mean, I'll go $7,000.
36:57$7,500, we got a deal.
36:59All right.
37:00I'll do it.
37:00$7,500, we got a deal.
37:01Done.
37:02All right.
37:02I'll wire you the money and you can ship it.
37:04Okay.
37:05You pay for shipping.
37:06No problem.
37:07Good.
37:08I'm as happy as I was when I was five years old and got my first balloon dog.
37:19Look.
37:20There it is.
37:21Booker T World Gym Arena.
37:23He's got his own arena?
37:24Back in Vegas, I bought what I believe are an authentic pair of Booker T wrestling boots
37:29for $3,000.
37:31Well, these things better be real.
37:33Rick's a little skeptical because these boots came from a charity auction.
37:36Wow.
37:37This is cool.
37:37Look at the ring.
37:39So, hopefully, we can pin down some answers today.
37:43You're going to be really excited once you realize these boots are real and I made a
37:47good purchase.
37:48Well, I'm just saying.
37:49I mean, like, you really should-
37:51What is that?
37:53Whoa!
37:55There he is.
37:57Yeah!
37:59Woo!
38:00You must be Chumlee.
38:02Hey, you are Booker T.
38:04Thanks for coming down today.
38:06Yeah, that's what we do.
38:07That's what we do.
38:08What you got here?
38:09Well, I got some boots that I think are, you know, from the King Booker era.
38:13King of the world.
38:14King of the world right there.
38:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:16Most definitely.
38:16I had to buy them, but my boss is a little bit unsure if I bought something that's not authentic.
38:21The person you bought them off, bought them at a charity auction, and it seems like three-quarters
38:25of the stuff at charity auctions ain't real.
38:27They're real, okay?
38:29These boots were created around 2006.
38:33Man, I tell you, I had this gold outfit, gold sleeves, gold tights, King Bucca on the back,
38:40and with the crown, of course.
38:43And it was definitely one of my most appealing outfits.
38:47So did you give these to a charity auction?
38:49Yeah, yeah.
38:50Hurricane Harvey, actually.
38:51We raised some pretty good money with the boots.
38:53Okay, so, see?
38:55Good things do come at a charity auction.
38:57All right, I'll admit it.
38:58You did a good job at this purchase.
39:00So you have a wrestling school here?
39:02Yeah, I have my wrestling schools.
39:04Started back in 2005.
39:06You know, trying to give young people a springboard to get into the wrestling business.
39:10It's all about, you know, living out the dream.
39:13You looking for a new prodigy?
39:16So what do you say?
39:17You want to try it out?
39:18I'm not trying to fill your shoes, but I'm ready to get in there.
39:21You ready to try a little bit?
39:22I am ready to get in there.
39:22You gonna slide in?
39:24Should I do the slide?
39:25We want to actually do this.
39:26All right.
39:26It's all new, Chubb.
39:27Will you hold my hat, Rick?
39:28You know, you can't wrestle in a hat.
39:30That's just ridiculous.
39:31All right, all right.
39:31I'm standing right here.
39:32I'll take it to the stairs.
39:33Woo!
39:36Yeah!
39:39Here we are at Booker T's wrestling arena.
39:43Boom.
39:44There it is.
39:45Now that I've proven to be king of the dill, I think it's time for me to get a lesson
39:48from
39:49the king of the ring.
39:50Okay.
39:51All right.
39:52Beautiful.
39:53Beautiful.
39:53Wait a minute.
39:54The kids got rhythm.
39:55Kids got rhythm.
39:57Okay.
39:58What we're gonna do here is give you a crash course.
40:00Okay.
40:01First thing we learned how to do in wrestling is lock up.
40:04Okay.
40:05All right.
40:05I need you to make sure you keep that left arm stiff.
40:08Left arm.
40:08There you go.
40:09That left arm.
40:10All right.
40:10I need you to put that left arm right on my chest.
40:12All right.
40:12Boom.
40:13All right.
40:13Now we're gonna add both hands, all right?
40:14Okay.
40:15Boom.
40:16Oh, my goodness.
40:17We got a natural here.
40:18All right.
40:18Now I'm gonna teach you the wrist lock.
40:20All right.
40:21We're gonna go from there.
40:21Tie up to the wrist lock.
40:22Here we go.
40:23Tie up.
40:23Boom.
40:24Bang.
40:25See that?
40:25See that wrist lock right there?
40:27All right.
40:30Oh!
40:34Oh!
40:36Oh!
40:36That's what you do when you're in trouble.
40:38Oh!
40:38Oh!
40:41Oh!
40:41I think I might have a future in wrestling, but I don't think my body will hold up permanently.
40:46The chumpster will put you in the dumpster.
40:51Take a bow.
40:54Boom!
40:54Boom!
40:55There you go.
40:56Perfect!
40:57Perfect!
40:58I think we got a star here.
41:01Star is born.
41:02We'll see you next time for the motion.
41:02We'll see you next time.
41:02You've got to be here.
41:03It's time for you.
41:03Bye.
41:04Bye.
