TVTranscript
00:00On tonight's episode, I finally have my chance at winning a golden ticket.
00:05Willy Wonka and an Oopa Loopa.
00:08An Oopa Loopa.
00:09How much you want for this?
00:11A million dollars.
00:13Then, it's Hulkamania, when Corey tries to wrestle a deal over an unusual mask.
00:18Quite honestly, I know his autograph pretty well.
00:20My dad forged one when I was a kid.
00:22He let me believe it was real for like 20 years.
00:24And later, it's a bullseye or bust, when Chum checks out a custom crossbow gun.
00:30As you can see, it resembles a gun, which is what's so appealing about it.
00:34Let's shoot it.
00:36You ready?
00:39Yeah!
00:39There you go.
00:50Hello?
00:50Funco, Willy Wonka, and...
00:53An Oopa Loopa.
00:54An Oopa Loopa, and a Funco golden ticket.
00:58This is supposedly like the holy grail of Funkos, isn't it?
01:02This is the grail of grails of Funko.
01:05And this is from the 1972 movie, The Gene Wilder, Willy Wonka.
01:09That was like my favorite movie when I was a kid.
01:11But I don't think Funko's factory is nearly as cool as Willy Wonka's.
01:18I'm at the pawn shop, and I'm here to sell the Funko Pop Golden Willy Wonka 2-Pack with
01:22its original ticket.
01:23It has some minor scuffing on the window and some slight corner damage.
01:26However, among the Willy Wonka 2-Packs, it is among the best.
01:29If I do make a deal today, my fiancé is going to have both the wedding and honeymoon of
01:33her dreams.
01:34Okay, pretty cool.
01:36You know, it's Funko.
01:38They started in the 90s, and it was basically a small company, licensed some products, T-shirts,
01:44bobbleheads, everything like that.
01:46And it wasn't doing well, and he ended up selling the company to a guy named Marriott.
01:51And he turned it into this insane business.
01:54I mean, he made vinyl figures collectible, and they kind of exploded.
02:01This setup right here, they only made, like, how many did they make of these?
02:04So, they made 10 of the actual Willy Wonka 2-Pack, but only 4 came with a ticket.
02:09All right, greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket.
02:13Present this ticket at the factory gates at 10 o'clock in your wildest dreams you could
02:18not imagine the marvelous surprises that await you.
02:22Okay, pretty cool.
02:23And this says right on the label right here, 2016, 2 of 10.
02:28Funko's really, really popular.
02:30I mean, like, some prices have actually really skyrocketed.
02:32Um, how much you want for this?
02:35A million dollars.
02:38A million dollars.
02:39A million dollars.
02:41Okay.
02:41The price sounds insane to me.
02:43I know there's Funko's that have gone over $100,000.
02:45I've never heard of a million dollars.
02:47I have a friend who does this.
02:48He works for the grading company that grades them.
02:51They don't grade double packs at the moment?
02:53They only grade an individual, so they don't grade a two-pack.
02:55Okay.
02:56But he would know about it.
02:57Let me get him over here and have him take a look at it and, like, see what he seems
03:01to think
03:01about it.
03:01Give me four or five minutes, I'm going to go give him a call.
03:03Sounds perfect.
03:04All right.
03:11Hey, how's it going?
03:13Howdy.
03:14Um, all right, what do we got here?
03:16I got a gorgeous 1948 Pilot TV Candid Television.
03:20Okay, um, you know, they were really, really expensive.
03:22Uh, I mean, for $99, which is what this was marketed for back then, that's more than a
03:28lot of people made in a month.
03:30I'm at the pawn shop, and I brought in a 1948 Pilot Radio TV.
03:34Has the original case with the antenna built in.
03:37Has the original TV chassis.
03:39And it has the original magnifying glass.
03:41I like to say it's completely functional, but it's almost there.
03:44You know, I bought around 30 televisions from a TV collector, and this was probably my favorite
03:47one that was in the lot.
03:48And I knew it needed a good home, somebody that would take care of it.
03:51Hoping to get about $1,500 for it.
03:56Definitely a really cool look at an old piece of history here.
04:00Pilot Electric Manufacturing started in 1919.
04:02Pilot made the first home shortwave radio.
04:05And then, you know, through progression, obviously, they got into the TV business.
04:09This was the best technology there was at the time.
04:12I mean, it wasn't until the mid-1950s where even half of Americans had a TV in their house.
04:17And you even got the tele-lens on it.
04:20That's the rare piece.
04:21You can find quite a few of these around, but finding the original magnifier for it is insane.
04:25This is a giant magnifying glass.
04:27It was a three-inch TV.
04:29I mean, just think about it today.
04:30If you bought a small TV, but we'll sell you this giant magnifying glass to make it bigger for you.
04:35It was kind of hokey, but I'm sure it worked.
04:37Nothing much has changed.
04:38You see people like this on their cell phones all the time, right?
04:40About the same size screen.
04:42Yeah, I'm sure the picture's quite a bit better.
04:45I think so.
04:45But, I mean, it was cool.
04:47I mean, it came with a carrying case.
04:48It was pseudo-portable.
04:49It would fit right on your desk at your office or in your dorm room.
04:53You didn't pick up radio or anything on this, did you?
04:55I did.
04:55I could get a little bit of a radio signal through there.
04:57Yeah, a little bit.
04:58Okay.
04:58You take an RF converter.
04:59You plug it in the back.
05:00You can actually run a DVD player or VCR through it.
05:03Okay.
05:04I'm assuming you want to sell it?
05:06You know, I've been thinking about it, and I'd like to find a new home for it.
05:09What are you trying to sell it?
05:10Well, you know, it does have an antenna built in here for convenience, has the magnifying
05:14glass, and it has the television itself, so I'm asking $1,500.
05:19The magnifying glass does kind of sell it for me.
05:22I think $1,500 is more on the retail side of it, though.
05:25I'll tell you what.
05:26I'll give you $9 for the whole shebang here.
05:29Ah, man, I don't know what that cattle hunt.
05:30I need a little bit more than that.
05:32You know, this magnifying glass is a few hundred dollars by itself if you were to sell it.
05:36Well, $1,100.
05:39$1,100.
05:41I don't think that's going to be a problem.
05:43I can do that.
05:44All right.
05:44We got a deal?
05:44All right.
05:45All right.
05:45Cool.
05:46Come with me.
05:46We got to do some paperwork.
05:47Sounds good.
05:51There's a guy in the shop, and he has a rare, limited-edition Funko Pop called the Golden
05:58Ticket 2-Pack.
05:59Apparently, there's only 10 of these in existence, and he's looking to get $1 million.
06:05I found an expert who deals in Funko Pops, and he's going to let me know if this is the
06:10Golden Ticket or it's just his imagination.
06:17Hey, Dan.
06:18Nice to meet you, Tyler.
06:18So, this guy's got the Golden Ticket of Funkos.
06:22The Golden Ticket 2-Pack.
06:24This is one of 10, but only one of four that includes the ticket.
06:29So, in 2016, Funko produced 10 of these pops, and six of them are believed to have been given
06:35away to employees.
06:36Now, four of them were given away at the Funko Fun Days event, and the tickets were distributed
06:43inside chocolate bars called Funko Bars.
06:45Four lucky people found the ticket and were able to present it for a prize, which was
06:51this Willy Wonka 2-Pack.
06:54Okay.
06:56So, first off, I mean, is this the real deal?
06:59Well, there's a number of ways that these are counterfeited.
07:01So, if you don't mind, I'd like to take a closer look at it.
07:04Absolutely.
07:06So, what's the go-to thing to look for?
07:08I mean, just in case it's counterfeited.
07:10The box itself, the figures, the window, the stickers.
07:12These are all things that I take into consideration when I'm authenticating these Funko Pops.
07:17The ticket is a vital piece of the value of this pop.
07:20There aren't a lot of examples, but this one does appear to be authentic.
07:28Okay.
07:29I know there's six-figure Funko Pops, but he's asking a million bucks for this.
07:35A million dollars.
07:36A million dollars.
07:37All right.
07:37Is he crazy or am I crazy?
07:39There was recently a sale for $250,000.
07:43However, that did not include the original golden ticket, as this example does here today.
07:49To the right buyer, it could be worth more than that.
07:52All right.
07:54Tells me a lot.
07:56And appreciate it, man.
07:57Glad to help.
07:58Talk to you soon.
07:58Good luck.
07:58Nice to meet you.
08:02So, he's saying one just sold for $250,000.
08:05But this is with its original ticket.
08:08And I did pay over $200,000 for this one, and value has gone up quite a bit in the
08:12market.
08:12The ticket, by itself, is worth $30,000, $40,000.
08:15All right.
08:16If he's saying one just recently sold for $250,000, I mean, that's what they sell for.
08:19And you've just told me the tickets go for, like, $30,000.
08:21So, maybe a couple years from now, who knows?
08:24But right now, I don't think it's anywhere close to that.
08:27And I just think that price is just way too much at the moment.
08:30Thanks for bringing it in, man.
08:32I appreciate it.
08:32I appreciate you.
08:41Hello.
08:42Hi.
08:43So, I have a coin and a medal here.
08:46They come as a pair.
08:48So, here they are.
08:49I don't really know much about them, but just thought they looked super old and cool.
08:54Okay.
08:56Ireland and America with two people shaking hands.
08:59And the other one seems to be from Canada.
09:01And then right here, it says, Finian Raid 1866.
09:05I don't really know what Finian is, but a raid is not something that would have been pleasant to take
09:10part in.
09:12I'm selling a pair of artifacts.
09:14It's a coin and a medal that are paired together.
09:17I think these items are in perfect condition.
09:20I would like to get $250 for both the medal and the coin.
09:23If I get the $250, I am going to buy a one-way ticket to Hawaii.
09:28And I'm going to stay there for as long as I feel like it.
09:32This is neat.
09:34Where did you get these?
09:35So, there was a death in the family.
09:38And he left behind this pile of things he collected.
09:42And these two were in a bag together.
09:44So, I feel like they were meant to be a pair for some reason since they were put together like
09:49that.
09:50Okay, um, Queen Victoria right on the front.
09:54Doesn't look like the Canadian flag that I'm used to seeing, but got some maple leaves on it, which is
09:59definitely a telltale sign of Canada.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Right here across this plate, it says, Finian Raid 1866, if I'm saying that right.
10:09And then some kind of token right here says, 1866 as well.
10:14But it says, Ireland and America.
10:16And on the back, it says, Irish Republic.
10:17Like, but getting it with a Canadian medal is kind of weird.
10:22How much are you looking to get for them?
10:24Uh, about $250.
10:26Okay, um, I'm definitely intrigued.
10:29These were in the same bag, you say, and they have the same date on them.
10:32But one of them seems to be Irish American, and the other one seems to be from Canada.
10:37So, I mean, they just looked really cool.
10:40It's definitely interesting.
10:41I'm very, very intrigued.
10:43So, let me make a phone call and get someone down here.
10:46Okay, yeah, sounds good.
10:47All right, I'll be right back.
10:58Hey, how's it going?
10:59Hey, Corey, how's it going, man?
11:00All right, uh, what do we got?
11:01Okay, Hulk Hogan.
11:02Yes, sir.
11:03I got a cardboard cutout of Hulk Hogan's face with eyes still intact.
11:07Signed.
11:07Quite honestly, I know his autograph pretty well.
11:09My dad, uh, forged one when I was a kid.
11:11He gave it to me and let me believe it was real for, like, 20 years.
11:16I'm here at the pawn shop to sell an autographed Hulk Hogan mask.
11:19The mask is cardboard with the eyes still intact.
11:22Signed by Hulk Hogan.
11:23He created wrestling to what it is today.
11:26So, having him sign it was a very big deal for me.
11:28These masks are usually handed out during wrestling events so people could hold them up to their face and act
11:34like the wrestlers.
11:35It's in very good condition.
11:36There's no creases and there's no bends.
11:38My asking price is $250.
11:40Uh, I came up with that because I researched a lot of memorabilia signed by Hulk Hogan.
11:45This is cool.
11:47Professional wrestling sells out 100,000 seat arenas.
11:49You know, um, you know, probably one of the biggest draws in the world.
11:53And this, mainly because of Hulk Hogan.
11:54Mm-hmm.
11:55Every, you know, pay-per-view records sell out, you know, the Pontiac Silverdome, I think, sold out to almost
11:59100,000 people.
12:01You know, the guy who, you know, created Wrestlemania pretty much.
12:04As far as, you know, being a fan of Frazier, you could just, you couldn't be the guy.
12:08You know, like, he was never the bad guy.
12:09He was always the good guy.
12:10I mean, it was like a walking, talking, living superhero that is what kids thought, you know.
12:15It's just huge.
12:17Want to have a take a look at it?
12:18Absolutely.
12:22Okay, so, it's got a certification sticker on it.
12:25So, it is a licensed product by him.
12:27So, it is real.
12:28He really did sign it.
12:30It's kind of hard with these things because I have an idea what they're worth.
12:32But tell me what you're looking to get out of it.
12:35I would love to get $250 out of it.
12:37You know, I'd give you about $75.
12:40You know, quite frankly, the guy's retired.
12:44You know, basically, his last stream of income is going to be signing his name and doing autograph signings.
12:48And, like, there's just so much of this stuff out there.
12:50I mean, how many T-shirts of Hulk Hogan do you think have been sold out there?
12:53Yeah.
12:53You know, how many, you know, little action figures?
12:56I mean, it's a very, very common thing.
12:58It's not, I just don't see him being worth very much money.
13:01Could you get it around the $2.30 mark?
13:03I can get it around $100.
13:06$100 is going to be the most I do.
13:08I can't go lower than $200, my friend.
13:11You know what?
13:11If you ever change your mind, I'll be here, okay?
13:13Have a good day.
13:14Take care.
13:14Take a look.
13:20A woman came into the shop with what appears to be a pair of medals from Canada and the Irish
13:26Republic.
13:27She would like to get $250, but I actually need to find out what these are.
13:32If anyone would know, it's going to be our coin and medals expert, Dave Baggie.
13:36So I've asked him to stop by and see what he can tell me about them.
13:41Hey, Dave.
13:42Hey, Chum.
13:42How you doing?
13:43Pretty good.
13:43How you doing?
13:44Good.
13:45So this lady brought these really cool items in.
13:49So I was wondering, do they go together?
13:52Turn this.
13:54Oh, yes.
13:55This is perfect.
13:56The amount of history on this tray is astonishing.
14:01Did either of you know that the Irish invaded Canada?
14:06I didn't know the Irish invaded anyone.
14:08Yeah.
14:09And so who would even imagine?
14:11But after the American Civil War, a whole bunch of people who were of Irish ancestry made up their own
14:18private army, right?
14:20Coming, crossing from New York or Vermont and invaded Canada.
14:24So they had this crazy idea that if they captured the only real property of the British in North America,
14:31they could then say, in exchange for us giving you Canada back, you set Ireland free.
14:37Because they were quite desperate, they wanted to help their brethren in Ireland get free from the British rule.
14:44Did they have any success?
14:46Absolutely none.
14:47It was a complete disaster.
14:49They would come over with a few hundred guys, gather their guns that they had when they fought in the
14:54American Civil War,
14:55and the Canadians would send armies of 15,000.
14:58And it was over before it even began.
15:01But it was absolutely harebrained.
15:04Does this medal have a name?
15:06Yeah, I believe it's a Canadian General Service medal issued by Canada to honor the people who defended Canada from
15:13the Fenian invasions.
15:14And this is the more historical piece, Irish Republic, which is what the Irish wanted.
15:19There are the letters FB, and that's for the Fenian Brotherhood.
15:23It's a private organization founded in America to try and help free Ireland.
15:28The two hands clasping there, well, that's the Irish and the American Irish.
15:33They actually go together perfectly.
15:36Whoever had these two items, they knew their history.
15:39Okay, well, I guess the big question, what are they worth?
15:44Okay, well, these things, the amount of history involved is really incredible.
15:49As a pair, they're probably worth about $800.
15:54All right, well, thanks for coming in.
15:56Cool, my pleasure.
15:56I knew you were the one to call.
15:57Yeah, thank you.
15:58All right, congratulations.
16:00All right, well, you still want the $250?
16:03Honestly, I think I'm going to keep them.
16:05I didn't know that they were that special, and now I'm thinking they were in the family for a reason.
16:12All right, well, if anything else, I learned that Ireland invaded Canada.
16:17That was crazy.
16:17Yeah, me too.
16:18Free school lesson.
16:19All right, well, thanks for bringing them in today.
16:21Thanks so much.
16:28Sharknado?
16:29No, Jaws.
16:30Yeah.
16:32It's got some serious autographs on it.
16:34Yes.
16:35So have you seen the movie?
16:36I have.
16:37It actually put a lot of fear in me.
16:38I saw this at the drive-in with my parents.
16:42It was terrifying.
16:44Yeah.
16:45I'm here to sell an autographed poster from the 1975 movie, Jaws.
16:50The condition of the poster isn't too good.
16:53The ends are ripped a little, and it was stored in a rolled position.
16:57I came up with my price today for the poster, just researching different autographs, and of course, keeping in mind
17:05that my poster isn't completely intact.
17:07My asking price for the poster is $1,200 today.
17:40This is incredible.
17:41And he insisted on filming all these scenes on the ocean where they could have done it on the set.
17:46It would have probably came out a lot easier, and the mechanical shark had a lot of breakdown issues.
17:52If you go back and watch the movie, you don't see the shark that often.
17:56I noticed that.
17:57He was going around saying, like, well, I wanted it like a Hitchcock movie, where, you know, you'd hear the
18:01music, where you'd know the shark was coming.
18:06You'd hear that sound, and you'd like, there's a shark nearby.
18:09That really, really worked out well, but the real reason was, was the mechanical shark was always breaking down.
18:14Yeah.
18:16Where did you get this?
18:17I actually received it as a gift.
18:19I bartend, and I have a regular who is a big collector.
18:23Before he moved, he brought over some things and had me take a look at them, and this is one
18:28of the ones that I saw and fell in love with.
18:31So we have...
18:33We have a Steven Spielberg here, Roy Scheider.
18:37John Williams.
18:38Richard Dreyfuss right there.
18:39Yes, yeah.
18:40And Peter Benchley, that's the screenplay writer.
18:43Okay.
18:44I mean, it's in kind of rough shape.
18:46You ever had anybody look at the autographs?
18:47No, not yet.
18:49Okay.
18:50How much do you want for it?
18:52I'm asking $1,200.
18:54Okay.
18:55If the signatures are real, that might be a good price.
18:57Let me get my autograph guy over here and take a look at it, and we'll go from there.
19:01Okay.
19:01Sounds good.
19:02Give me five minutes.
19:03All right.
19:44Let's go.
19:46Let's go.
19:48Let's go.
19:49Let's go.
19:51Let's go.
19:52I'm here to sell a crossbow that I believe is from the 1900s.
19:56I got this crossbow from a stuntman that I worked with in Hollywood.
20:00It has a great look, and when you're near it, it has a presence, and it's almost like you
20:04can sense the history when you stand with it.
20:07I decided to bring it to the pawn shop because I believe here we have the best knowledge, the
20:11best experts, and hopefully the best price.
20:13The asking price for the crossbow gun is $1,500.
20:18They're definitely really cool.
20:21Right.
20:21Do you mind if I take a look at it here?
20:23You're more than welcome to, of course.
20:25Crossbows have been around longer than we really even know.
20:28The first crossbow didn't look like a long rifle.
20:31You know, this almost looks like a .22 with a bow attached to the end of it.
20:37And it's really light.
20:38Yes.
20:39But it's got the basic mechanisms of the early crossbows.
20:44So the arrow would just go in there.
20:46You pull this back.
20:48Once you pull this back, there's probably a mechanism in here that would lock it in place.
20:52Right.
20:52And then you're good to go.
20:54You've got to be very careful at that point.
20:56Have you ever shot a crossbow before?
20:58No.
20:58Never shot a crossbow.
21:00I shot one once.
21:01Okay.
21:02How does it go?
21:02As good as you would expect it to go, I guess.
21:04Yeah.
21:06I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking for as far as markings going across the bow,
21:11but I'm definitely not seeing any.
21:13No.
21:14How much are you looking to get for it?
21:16So I've done a lot of research, and they kind of start from $200 to $4,000.
21:19So I kind of pitched and plucked about $1,500.
21:23Okay.
21:24Um, I'm intrigued here.
21:25Problem is, you have no markings on here.
21:27So.
21:28Right.
21:29It doesn't mean you're out of line.
21:30It just means that there's not enough information here for me to actually value it.
21:34That makes sense, of course.
21:35So give me a few minutes.
21:37I'll call my guy Alex down here.
21:38After he sees it and talks about it, then maybe we'll discuss this $1,500 you want.
21:43Sounds perfect.
21:44All right.
21:44Give me a few minutes.
21:52A woman came to the shop with a signed poster from the 1975 movie, Jaws.
21:57She's looking to get $1,200, and the poster looks like it's in really bad condition.
22:01Having all these autographs on one piece could be real money.
22:05So I have Steve Grad coming down to check it out to tell me if this is a real deal
22:09I can bite into.
22:10Hey, what's up, man?
22:11How are you?
22:12Doing well.
22:13Hi.
22:14How you doing?
22:15Nice to see you.
22:15Nice to see you.
22:15We have, you know, Jaws.
22:18One of the greatest movies ever made.
22:20And it still, to this day, has an insane cult following.
22:23People love this film and collecting it, Rick, is insane.
22:27Look at these autographs.
22:29We have some big names here.
22:31I mean, you've got some of the greatest actors of all time.
22:33You've got one of the greatest directors.
22:34I've seen these posters sold for upwards of $6,000 with a full cast.
22:37So you could be holding, you know, like a brick of gold or two here.
22:41I like the sound of that.
22:42Yeah.
22:45He doesn't.
22:46But anyway, are these things legit?
22:49Well, let's find out.
22:51Roy Scheider would be the first.
22:54And that looks like blue fiber tip marker.
22:57I see some paint pen down here, possibly.
23:00And that's exactly what that is on there.
23:02Richard Dreyfuss is over here.
23:05We take a look at this.
23:06Spielberg is usually big and sloppy like this.
23:09Oddly enough, someone using yellow here.
23:13A little strange.
23:15The different pens, you know, you've got black, blue, yellow, silver.
23:20If I was doing a poster, I'd like to keep it all the same color.
23:22Sometimes when we see signed posters, forgers, they sometimes mix it up to try and fool people.
23:28When I see Roy Scheider, Dreyfuss, Peter Benchley, John Williams, Steven Spielberg,
23:32these definitely are not their signatures.
23:34And this is somebody that really didn't know how to forge that well.
23:37So unfortunately, it's not good.
23:39This one's not going to make it.
23:40All right, man.
23:43Well, that sucks.
23:44It does.
23:45So I'm kind of like the big shark in this one.
23:47Killed it all.
23:48Talk to you later.
23:49Thanks, man.
23:49Good to see you.
23:51All right.
23:52It looks like Steve harpooned the whole deal.
23:54Yeah, not the news I wanted to hear.
23:57The poster by itself would have been worth a little bit of money if it wasn't so damaged
24:01and then someone put fake signatures on it.
24:03So that sort of messes up the whole deal.
24:05Yeah, well, thank you so much for taking a look at it.
24:08Ah, no problem.
24:09Here you go.
24:20Hey, how's it going?
24:21Good.
24:22How are you?
24:22Got some watches, huh?
24:23Yes.
24:24More than watches, they are trophies from the World Series of Poker in 1982.
24:30Okay.
24:30That I won.
24:31So what was the cash prize back then?
24:33I think it was probably around $100,000.
24:36Wow.
24:37Wasn't it last year the guy won $15 million?
24:39It was at least $10 or $15 million now.
24:41Yeah, I mean, it's just exploded.
24:44I am at the pawn shop to try to sell two 1982 World Series of Poker trophy watches that I
24:52won.
24:52I'm ready to sell these watches because poker has become a bigger deal.
24:57I'm asking for $50,000 for both.
25:00If I made a deal today, maybe I'll take a little bit of it right now and enter a tournament.
25:06This is actually really, really cool.
25:08Benny Binion, who was always a really colorful guy here in Las Vegas.
25:12In 1970, he decided he was going to start the World Series of Poker and Benny Binion's poker events.
25:18It's too bad he didn't live long enough to see where it is today.
25:21I really think that he would enjoy seeing it on TV.
25:23It kind of makes me laugh because there's no doubt in my mind that it's actually a game of skill.
25:28Otherwise, the same 20 guys wouldn't always be in the top, you know, 50 players, right?
25:32It's a game of both luck and skill, but the longer you play, the more skill shows.
25:38Let's talk about your watches here.
25:40Forgive me, but don't they give out bracelets?
25:42They've given out bracelets every year except for 1982 because they thought they could upgrade the bracelets to a more
25:50expensive trophy.
25:52Strangely, the poker players said, go back to bracelets because it's had already become a tradition.
25:59Okay, do you mind if I take a look at it?
26:01Sure.
26:02Okay.
26:03You have to open them.
26:04So this is 1982, you said, right?
26:07That's a year before I was born.
26:08Are you David?
26:09I'm David Sklansky.
26:10I'm the author also of many books, including the best-selling book on poker ever written.
26:16Okay.
26:17The Theory of Poker.
26:18Is this missing the crystal?
26:19Did that pop out or something?
26:20That happens to be missing the crystal, but I found out it's not a big deal.
26:23It's not.
26:24They can get replaced them.
26:25Definitely cool.
26:26I got no doubt that they're real.
26:28Very, very Vegas specific item.
26:30Very awesome item.
26:31Tell me about what you're looking to get for them.
26:33If I sold them both, I was looking to get $50,000.
26:36Okay, and I can see why you'd ask me for that.
26:39You have quite a bit of gold here, but you also have a trophy, and I have a really hard
26:45time selling somebody else's trophy.
26:49Respectfully, I'm going to go ahead and pass on these to you, sir.
26:52I think you know the people that would buy these a lot better than I do.
26:56I just wouldn't be able to make you an offer on them.
26:58I understand.
26:59I appreciate you bringing them down, though.
27:01Okay.
27:06A guy brought in a crossbow gun that he would like to get $1,500 for.
27:10This seems a little high because there aren't any markings on it, so I asked Alex Cranmer
27:13to come in and take a look at it and let me know if this price is on target.
27:17Hey, Chuck.
27:18Alex, how you doing?
27:19Good to see you.
27:20Hi.
27:21Nice to meet you.
27:21Hi, Matthew.
27:22I'm Alex.
27:23Oh, that's neat.
27:24I thought it was neat as well, but I have no idea other than that.
27:27Do you mind if I pick it up?
27:28Of course you can.
27:29Yeah.
27:31It's actually pretty beautifully built, isn't it?
27:34What's really interesting about it is it appears to be a firearm.
27:37You even have the same sight system you'd have on a firearm, but I actually don't think this
27:42was converted from a gun.
27:44Oh, okay.
27:45I think it was purpose-built.
27:46One of the biggest reasons for that is over here, traditionally, if this was a gun stock,
27:52there would be room for the lock here.
27:54Nice.
27:56From the age of the stock and the barrel, it seems to be like late 19th century.
28:02So traditionally, a crossbow would be open on the top, and it would have a channel.
28:08You can just lay the bolt down into it, but this doesn't.
28:10It has an enclosed barrel, so why?
28:12And I think that is to increase accuracy in a short distance, but what would it have
28:19been used for?
28:19Really, I think the intended purpose is for fishing.
28:23And the reason is this little handle under here, it's practical.
28:28It actually balances it.
28:30Oh, yeah.
28:31So now all of a sudden, it's pretty easy for you to aim and to hold.
28:35So if you're walking along a shallow brook or stream or lake, there's surface fish, salmon,
28:42other type of fish, are easy to shoot.
28:44And so if you are very accurate within 10 or 15 feet, you can get a fish.
28:49All right.
28:50So there's no markings on it.
28:52What do you think about that?
28:54Um, there could have been markings, and now we can't see them.
28:57Or it was unmarked, and likely some gun maker made this specifically for a client.
29:03All right.
29:04What do you think it's worth?
29:06It depends a little bit on whether it works.
29:08If it works, it's around $1,000.
29:12Do you know if it works?
29:14I have no idea.
29:15I was tempted to try, but I didn't.
29:17Are you open to just test firing it?
29:20100%?
29:21Yeah.
29:21That was amazing.
29:21I'd love to.
29:22All right.
29:22I think I could make a couple of simple bolts.
29:24All right.
29:25Well, I'll tell you right now.
29:27I'm interested in it.
29:28If you want to go meet up at the shooting range, we could test it out.
29:30I completely agree.
29:31Let's do it.
29:32All right.
29:33Sounds good.
29:33Okay.
29:34Good luck.
29:34Appreciate you.
29:34Thank you so much.
29:35See you soon.
29:36Thanks, Alex.
29:57Earlier, I had a customer come into the shop with a European crossbow gun that he's asking $1,500 for.
30:03I thought this is something that Rick would like to check out, so we're out here at the range to
30:07see how it shoots before I think about making an offer.
30:11So this is the gun crossbow.
30:14Yep.
30:15Crossbow gun.
30:18As you can see, it resembles a gun, which is what's so appealing about it, but it's actually very well
30:23built.
30:24It's very well balanced, but it really is a close proximity hunting weapon for small fish.
30:31All right.
30:31I dig it.
30:32It's kind of cool.
30:33It is cool.
30:34So I made some bolts.
30:36I just cut dowels with some steel sharpened tips.
30:42Traditionally, archery, you have a target or you shoot at apples, and so I got some bigger apples with little
30:47worms on them.
30:51And hopefully this will stick in one of those pinatas.
30:54All right.
30:55Who's going to shoot it?
30:56Me.
30:59I mean, I made all these bolts, so I think I get to, right?
31:02Well, let's shoot it.
31:06My biggest concern with this is it is an old crossbow, and basically crossbows are all about tension.
31:12It's got a steel cable for the string.
31:16Don't want to break this person's crossbow.
31:18You ready?
31:23Yeah!
31:24Oh, there you go.
31:26Right?
31:27Pretty good.
31:28It works.
31:28It works.
31:28You probably get a fish with it.
31:33You'd get a fish with it.
31:34You definitely would.
31:35Small fish.
31:39What do you think it's worth?
31:41This is more of a curiosity than a collectible item, but it works as it should, and it's certainly 130,
31:48140 years old.
31:50I could see it sell for $1,000, but definitely not over.
31:54Okay.
31:55All right.
31:56I'm going to get my stuff together.
31:58Good luck.
31:58Thank you so much.
31:59Appreciate you.
32:00Thanks, guys.
32:02All right.
32:03I like it.
32:04What will you really take for it?
32:05I mean, $1,000 is fair.
32:07I mean, no.
32:08That's what he said it would, like, retail for.
32:10No, I'll give you $500 for it.
32:12I don't think so.
32:13So what we've done is combined the best of crossbows, the best of guns, merge them together.
32:17I mean, I can't go any lower than $1,000, I don't think.
32:20It's had novelty, and novelties don't sell well.
32:25$500.
32:26Appreciate the offer.
32:27Well, I'll keep it, and then we'll have a piñata shooting party.
32:31You're all invited.
32:32Thank you, my friend.
32:33Thank you, buddy.
32:34Appreciate you.
32:35All right, come on, Chubb.
32:36Keep the bolts.
32:38Okay, great.
32:39That was fun coming out here anyway.
32:49How's it going?
32:50Hey, how are you?
32:51I'm pretty good.
32:52What do we got here?
32:52I have a flight manual for an F-4 Phantom, and I have a set of blueprints for a 1943
32:59submarine.
33:00Super cool.
33:01I'm actually learning how to fly, but just teeny little planes that don't go that fast.
33:05And it's like, hey, maybe one day the Air Force will need me.
33:10I'm here at the pawn shop today hoping to sell my flight manual for an F-4 Phantom.
33:13The F-4 Phantom manual is dated 1975 on the cover, but inside it was revised in 1980.
33:19It was kind of a live publication.
33:20They were adding things all the time with different corrections that they were learning.
33:24I also have a set of 1943 blueprints from a submarine that was World War II.
33:29It was given to one of the lieutenants that was on the submarine.
33:33I'm asking for $400 for the flight manual.
33:35I'm asking $1,000 for the blueprints.
33:37If I make a sale today, I like to say I'm going to spend it in Vegas and leave it
33:40here,
33:40but I'm going to bring it home to my family.
33:42This is pretty cool.
33:43I like this.
33:44And it's May 1st, 1975.
33:47It's kind of crazy when you look back at this time period in airplanes where they went from
33:51propellers to jets to, like, supersonic.
33:54The technological leap was absolutely insane.
33:57First plane to fly to, like, 90,000 feet, Mach 2.5.
34:01It broke so many speed records over distance.
34:03Everything about this thing was great.
34:06This is U.S. submarine SS-258.
34:09Did you look at which submarine that was?
34:11Yes, it's the HOE, H-O-E.
34:13Tell me how random this is.
34:15This and another U.S. submarine were underwater and ran into each other.
34:20Bad luck.
34:21I'm just saying how big the oceans are in there.
34:23What are the odds of running into another submarine?
34:26I'm assuming they probably gave this to the officers when they went to submarine school.
34:30It gives you a general layout of the ship.
34:31Here's where the exits are.
34:33Yeah.
34:36So how much do you want for these?
34:37I'd like to get $400 for the flight manual.
34:40I'm asking for $1,000 for the blueprints, so $1,400 altogether.
34:43Flight manual, I'd give you $200 for her.
34:46And the submarine, I'd give you $200 for those.
34:49I mean, they're difficult to sell.
34:50I can't even think of one time I did well with blueprints.
34:53Okay.
34:54How about $300 on the manual?
34:56And I'd do $350 on the blueprints.
34:58I'll go $500.
35:00I'm not going to go no more.
35:00I don't want to torpedo this deal.
35:02How about $550 and we'll call it a day?
35:03All right, $525.
35:05Okay.
35:06All right, we got a deal?
35:06Sounds good.
35:08All right, $525.
35:09I will meet you right at that counter over there.
35:11All right, thank you.
35:13I could fly one of these.
35:22Our picking buddy, Spencer, told me he's been traveling the West Coast finding some good
35:26stuff.
35:26So I told him to swing by the shop and let me get first dibs.
35:30Well, well, well.
35:31How you doing, man?
35:32I'm good.
35:33How have you been?
35:34Man, I figure instead of having a yard sale at my house, I'd just bring it out to you.
35:41Actually, you got some pretty cool stuff here.
35:43Check this out.
35:44Can you believe this is now pretty much considered an antique?
35:46So I'm guessing it came off a phone booth?
35:49Yeah, I mean, you know, they've been scrapping these things across the country for who knows
35:52how long.
35:52Somebody would definitely want this and it's not that expensive, chum.
35:55All right, well, what's not that expensive?
35:57$450.
35:59Well, that's kind of expensive.
36:02Now I'm going to show you this one right here for sure.
36:04This thing is 100% still working.
36:06You'd walk into a feed store back in the day with the brand Hog & Rich.
36:10So you'd see feed sacks around.
36:11This would be the advertisement.
36:12And you'd be munching on the jar of the actual feed that they're trying to sell.
36:15All right, this is really cool.
36:17So how much are you looking to get for this?
36:19Look, I know you're going to think I'm going to be a piggy on this one.
36:22But I need $15,000 for this piece right here.
36:25You know, I don't see it.
36:26As cool as this is, as much as I'd love to buy it, I'm not going to be able to
36:30buy it.
36:30All right, what do we got here?
36:31All right, man.
36:32Blasting machine.
36:34Yeah, chum.
36:34Fidelity blasting machine, Model 50 right here.
36:37Back in the day, this is how you obviously did dynamiting.
36:40You hook your two wires there, you push it down, and it charges.
36:42And then...
36:44Can I push it?
36:45Absolutely go right ahead.
36:49What are you asking for this?
36:50I'm asking $800 on it.
36:52All right.
36:53Cars, what do we got going here?
36:55Got a pair of Mark's toy cars.
36:56Now, this is crazy.
36:58This is a toddler's early big wheel.
37:00It still works.
37:02So this was made for a little kid to drive around on?
37:04A toddler.
37:05And that one's a push.
37:06You just wind it up, and it just pushes forward.
37:08So as a pair, they suit each other great.
37:11No real major condition issues.
37:12A little bit of wear.
37:13But I mean, these are 10 toys from the 50s and 60s.
37:16How's the rust on the bottom of this one?
37:17Yeah, take a look.
37:18Flip it up.
37:19Yeah, the original wheels in there.
37:21You don't have to go to the wheel store or nothing, man.
37:23That's actually nice.
37:24I mean, are we sure they're original?
37:26They look really, really nice.
37:27I like...
37:28These things have been taken care of.
37:29Remember, I always bring just the best stuff for you.
37:31You know that.
37:32What are you asking for the pair?
37:33I'm asking 1,500, but I'm willing to bend.
37:36All right, I like to hear that.
37:38Okay, look, I get it.
37:38You're scared.
37:39I understand.
37:40Well, speaking of scary, what's going on here with this two-headed pig sign?
37:44The two-headed pig freak show banner from back in the day, 1940s, 50s carnivals that traveled
37:51around the United States or circus shows.
37:54Well, it reminds me of Ricky eating lunch.
37:58Yeah, no, this is all hand-done.
38:00The details are great.
38:01You can see down here the O'Henry Awning Company.
38:04You know, that was the company who actually probably had these made up for the circuses,
38:07and the artist's name is written right there.
38:10You know, they formed after World War I, and we're making these probably up in the 40s and 50s.
38:15So this would be a centerpiece to a collection.
38:18I love the subject.
38:19It looks cool.
38:20It's freakish.
38:21How much are you looking to get for it?
38:23$7,000.
38:24All right.
38:25I actually love the sign, and would you take $6,000 for the painting of the two-headed pigs
38:30and the two cars?
38:31I want $8,500 for the pair.
38:34I don't know.
38:34Would you go $6,500 for the pair?
38:37How about $75?
38:38How about $73?
38:46All right.
38:46$73.
38:47I can do that, man.
38:48You're getting a great deal.
38:49This is really a killer piece.
38:51I was willing to go to $74.
38:54Tell you what, I'll buy you lunch on Rick's company cart.
39:03Corey had an item come to the shop that apparently inspired him for a boys' poker night.
39:08My youngest son, Jake, just recently turned 21, so I figured I would be the host.
39:13Chum's got the cards, and I got the chips.
39:18Come on, Rick.
39:19Your cards on the table are waiting on you.
39:21It's your bet.
39:22Here's the chips.
39:24No, I know.
39:25I said I need more chips.
39:26Like, I'm down a lot.
39:28Whatever.
39:30All right.
39:31Okay.
39:31So we might want to make this a regular thing, poker night.
39:34Especially Jake can do this legally now.
39:36Yeah, he's 21 now.
39:37What do you think of poker so far?
39:39Yeah, I'm a blackjack kind of guy.
39:41Blackjack runs in the Harrison blood.
39:42You got the poker look down, though.
39:44Oh, that's for sure.
39:45Resting Rick face definitely runs in the family.
39:47You're doing a good job.
39:49Let's go.
39:50Deal him.
39:54All right.
39:55Burn one.
39:56Turn the river.
39:59Uh-oh.
40:00All right.
40:02All right.
40:02I'm going to fold.
40:03All right.
40:04I guess it's all me right now, huh?
40:0628 bucks to you, Corey.
40:08Big house, what are you doing?
40:09All right.
40:09All in.
40:10You can't go all in.
40:11Yeah, you can.
40:12Yeah, you can.
40:13I got a whopping 83 bucks.
40:15There we go.
40:15You can call, Corey.
40:16Okay.
40:17All right.
40:18Flip over your cards, boys.
40:20All right.
40:20What do you guys got?
40:21Damn.
40:22Three aces.
40:24Pretty good.
40:24Three aces is pretty good.
40:25But they don't beat a straight.
40:28Six, seven, eight.
40:29Oh, my goodness.
40:30Straight.
40:31Rick, I think you won.
40:31Almost got a straight flush.
40:33And that's really cool.
40:34I mean, you almost won Jake.
40:36Dad, you know, you're definitely winning.
40:37But I got the nuts.
40:39Oh, four of a kind.
40:42Yeah, Dad, you lost.
40:44I know it's your house and everything.
40:45But, yeah, sometimes the house.
40:47I mean, because no one gets a four of a kind.
40:48Four of a kind is only in the movies.
40:50No, I mean, it happens.
40:51I mean, that's a pretty end.
40:52It rarely happens.
40:54You guys do know I'm going to make you stay here all night long
40:56until at least I'm not losing any money, right?
40:58I'm fine with that.
41:00As a matter of fact, they got so much of your money,
41:01I'm going to give Jacob some.
41:02Just deal, chum.
41:08Let's go.
41:08Let's do that.
