Pawn Stars s03e20 Episode Script
Hello Nurse
On this episode of Pawn Stars A hockey stick signed by the 1980 miracle on ice olympic hockey team.
This was the game of the century.
If these signatures are real, this thing is absolutely priceless.
This is my fleetwood discovery.
Awesome.
This thing is huge.
Hell, I bet it's bigger than chum's place.
What are you looking to get for this? About $150,000.
All right, deal.
Appreciate it.
My dad's gonna kill me.
Chum, I got a mission for you.
Bob Dylan's in town for a concert.
I want you to bring this album to him and have him sign it.
Hey, I'm looking for Bob Dylan.
Hello? I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop.
I work here with my old man and my son, big hoss.
Everything in here has a story and a price.
One thing I've learned after 21 years, you never know what is gonna come through that door.
How's it going? Good.
How are you? All right, another gun that won't sell.
Not exactly.
Not exactly.
Okay, what have we got? A hockey stick signed by the miracle on ice olympic hockey team.
It's a little hockey stick.
[Laughter.]
I decided to come to the pawn shop today to try to sell my hockey stick signed by the 1980 miracle on ice olympic hockey team.
It is a one-of-a-kind, very unique item.
I wouldn't take less than $5,000 for it today.
So you had everyone on the team sign it? Mm -hmm.
Who acquired all these signatures for you? Well, before the games in 1980, and drive them to the airport.
And so at that time, I got all the players and the assistant coaches.
Then in 1994, I was working at a country club, and herb Brooks, the head coach, came in.
I asked him, if I could get the stick there before he left, if he would sign it, and he did.
The 1980 U.
S.
olympic hockey team was a bunch of college kids and amateurs, and they were gonna take on the Russians, who were considered unbeatable.
And they kicked the Russians' asses.
It was one of the greatest upsets of all time.
This was the game of the century.
I don't know who designated it as miracle on ice, but that's what it was.
They weren't expected really to do anything that year.
I mean, there wasn't really high expectations for them to win any medal at all.
You know, what they did was a miracle, and a lot of experts say that it was the greatest moment in American sporting history.
If I can get these signatures verified, there's no question I want this stick.
I know a ton of collectors who would think this thing is absolutely priceless.
And what were you looking to do with it? I'm looking to sell it if the price is right.
I mean, the problem is, there's only one of them that exists.
There's probably not something to compare it to, and it's really difficult coming up with a price that way.
I got a buddy.
He knows about autographs.
He can tell us if they're all legit.
Let me get him down here, and I'll try and come up with a price.
Can you come back? Yeah, I sure can.
All right, thanks.
All right, great.
Thank you.
Hey, thanks a lot for coming down.
I'm not concerned about the expert coming to take a look at the stick to authenticate it.
I'm positive it's 100% authentic.
Hey, what can I help you with? Hey, how's it going, man? Oh, pretty good.
I've got an old Bob Dylan album here.
Okay.
Self portrait.
Cover is in great shape.
It is 40 years old.
That's not that old.
I'm older than that.
[Laughter.]
I decided to come to the pawn shop today to try and sell this old Bob Dylan album.
The reason I want to sell this album is, I just don't really have any use for it.
I don't have a record player, don't really have any way to enjoy it, so I'd rather someone else did.
I'm hoping I can get You know anything about it? A little bit.
It's a dual album.
I understand he painted the cover, the artwork on there.
This is early '70s.
We got a lot of cool songs a lot of people would know: Like a rolling stone, the mighty Quinn.
I know that one, yeah.
Yeah, this was right around the time when Bob Dylan said it was a lot of pressure being, you know, the voice of a generation.
Bob Dylan released self portrait back in 1970.
It was a pretty weird album 'cause most of it was just versions of other people's songs.
The critics hated it.
But Dylan being Dylan, it went gold and hit the top ten on the charts.
It looks to me like it's in pretty good shape.
Both albums are in there.
Okay.
So no scratches on the vinyl.
Not that I could see.
The album is in great shape.
Even though it's not one of his most iconic works, I can still sell it to a collector.
But the price has to be right.
This isn't a first pressing of his debut album.
What did you want to do with it? I'm looking to sell it.
Okay.
And what were you looking to get out of it? I was thinking maybe, like, $150.
I mean, there's one teeny little tear, and there's a little bit of staining on it.
It's more like $50.
You know, I looked online, and I've seen these going for $100 or $150.
And they looked in pretty similar condition.
You can get, like, 150, 200 bucks if they're in beautiful shape, pristine.
This is not pristine.
There's problems with it.
Could you do, like, $85? I'll go 50 bucks.
I'm gonna sell it for $75.
[Sighs.]
All right, I'll do $50.
Okay.
Let's go do some paperwork.
I was only able to get 50 bucks out of it, but I think that's a fair price, so I'm happy with that.
What the hell are you doing, moving in? [Laughs.]
How you doing, man? You guys want some burgers? No, but my man chumlee wants a hot dog.
[Laughs.]
How you doing? Doing well, man.
So what have we got here, huh? Well, this is my 1997 fleetwood discovery.
I got a custom paint job on it, custom awnings, custom electronics.
It's really cool, man, but you're taking up, like, I decided to come to the pawn shop today to sell my fleetwood discovery motor coach, and I really hope they buy it.
I want to sell it right now because I can't afford to keep my boat and my rv, and I'd rather get rid of the rv.
I really want to get $40,000 today.
The least I want to take would be probably $30,000.
So does the grill come with it? Oh, yeah, definitely.
Everything that's set up in this coach right now is gonna stay with it.
I've got the refrigerator here, the satellite tv coming off a splitter feed off the main satellite.
Well, the outside's really cool and all, man, but the inside's what counts.
Let's go check it out.
Okay, let's go.
This thing is huge.
And if it's as nice on the inside as it is the outside, I'm definitely interested.
Hell, I bet it's bigger than chum's place.
Awesome.
This thing is sweet.
Yeah, it sleeps six people in here.
In the interior of the coach, you got a lot of storage space.
Right here, we have a brand-new hdtv with surround sound.
This is the rear of the coach.
Where the magic happens.
This is where it is.
This is where it happens.
A queen-size bed.
The engine exists underneath the bed here.
So what are you looking to get for it? Well, right now, I'm looking to get about $48,000.
It books out, in average condition, over $40,000, and brand-new, these are about $150,000.
This rv's in amazing shape for something that's 13 years old, and it's massive.
Might be just the thing for the old man to get so he finally retires.
We normally don't buy motor homes, but you're in luck, because my dad was telling me last week that he wanted to buy one.
So let me call him up and get him down here to see if he's interested in it and see if we can do something for you.
Okay, great.
Thanks a lot.
I appreciate it.
I think they're interested in it, especially because he wants his dad to come and look at it now, even though they told me they really don't usually buy these type of rvs.
This is it.
All right, we'll start from the top.
If these signatures are real, it could be worth a fortune.
Uh, that's interesting.
Don't recognize that one.
Chum, I got a mission for you.
Why are you sending chum? You got other employees that aren't gonna screw it up.
Lots of luck, chumlee.
I got faith in you.
I got to get this signature.
Earlier, I took a look at an rv, and I think it's pretty awesome.
But before I make an offer on something so big, I want my dad to come out here and check it out.
All right, so I brought him, man.
Hey.
All right, pops, so here it is, '97 fleetwood discovery.
and 900 hours on the generator.
All right.
It's a '97.
What's wrong with it right now? Absolutely nothing.
I swear.
I've got warranties.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
You mind if I take a look around? Yeah.
No, go ahead.
Help yourself.
Okay.
All right, no problems with any of the electronics? No, that's a climate control power-adjusting system.
Gas stove works well.
All right, so the washing machine works? Yup.
It's a washer -dryer combo.
Stand-up shower here with sunlight.
All right.
So this is the bedroom.
You got plenty of storage, closet here.
DVD player with satellite.
This rv is in great shape, and with more and more retirees moving to Vegas every day, this thing should be an easy sell.
So do you want to sell it, or what do you want to do with it? Oh, yeah, I'm looking to sell.
How much are you looking to get out of it? About $38,000 right now.
Yeah, $38,000's not gonna happen.
These things are tough to sell right now.
I mean, retired people take these things out, and their nest egg ain't what it used to be.
You're about ready to retire, aren't you? No.
You're at that age.
No, but seriously, you know, I'd give you 15 grand for it.
I have over $30,000 put into it myself.
Yeah.
You know, the thing's also dated, dude.
These things are like a computer.
They come out with a new model.
The old computer, no one wants.
I'll do $18,000.
Can you give me $28,000? I'll go $20,000, and I'm not gonna go a dime more, period.
Hmm.
Okay, 20 grand.
All right.
You guys go do the paperwork on this, all right? Negotiations didn't go as well as I planned.
I wanted $40,000, but he was pretty firm on what he was gonna offer me, so I'm happy to leave here at least with $20,000.
Chum, I got a mission for you.
Earlier today, I bought a classic Bob Dylan album.
I could sell it for 75 bucks right now, but I just heard Bob Dylan is in town for a concert, so if I can get him to sign it, the value will jump considerably.
Chum's not doing anything.
Seems like a project for him.
Chum, Bob Dylan's in town for a concert.
I want you to bring this album to him and have him sign it.
All right.
If possible, sign it right there, okay? It's gonna make it worth a lot more money.
All right.
Why are you sending chum? You got 48 other employees that aren't gonna screw it up.
I'll get the signature.
Lots of luck, chumlee.
I got faith in you.
I can do this.
I hope I just didn't throw away 50 bucks.
You probably did.
There's no question: Chum tracking down Dylan is a long shot, so I'm not holding my breath.
But this is Vegas, and stranger things have happened.
Earlier, a guy came in with a hockey stick signed by the entire 1980 U.
S.
olympic hockey team.
If these signatures are real, it could be worth a fortune, so I invited my friend drew down to take a look.
I'm drew with authentic autographs unlimited, and I'm a forensic document examiner.
What's the story on this one? I got signatures from the 20 players of the 1980 olympic hockey team, the head coach, herb Brooks, assistant coach, and goalie coach.
I remember watching this game, actually.
It was fantastic.
We were just jumping on the couch after we won.
It was just amazing.
So let's take a look and see if it's authentic or not.
All right, we'll start from the top.
Jim Craig, that's the goalie.
He makes a very distinct ending for his "g.
" Capital "j" is always very distinctive and very consistent, so that's interesting.
Eruzione, the captain of the team.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That's herb Brooks' signature.
He's the head coach.
He always takes a zero and goes over the "k.
" You know, it's kind of like a fast type of handwriting thing.
He does that a lot.
Well, when you put all the signatures together, it's like bringing back history, you know? It's not like a single signature where you have very little evidence to go by.
There's all kinds of evidence, and this thing is absolutely authentic.
All right.
Thanks, drew.
You bet.
All right, guys.
Appreciate it.
Thanks for coming in.
Take care.
You betcha.
It's amazing.
Value-wise, this thing could be worth thousands of dollars if someone really wants it bad, and I'm sure someone will pay that one day.
So what were you looking to get out of it? a one-of-a-kind.
You know, it's really neat, but I couldn't come close to that.
I mean, I would give you 1,500 bucks for it.
It's just, sports memorabilia is just like the stock market.
It goes up and down in value.
And this particular point in history right now, it's down.
Way down.
Well, how about $4,500? I mean, don't you believe in miracles? You know, I'll go, like 2 grand on it.
I mean, I think, you know, it's that special.
I might be able to get a little bit more for it.
Double it to 4, and we got a deal.
No.
No.
[Laughter.]
Not only no.
Hell, no.
It'd be a really cool thing in my store, but we're just too far apart, I guess.
Thank you.
Have a good one, man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This stick means too much to me.
I've had it for so long, and there's such a story and history with it.
I just don't think $2,000 is enough for me to part with it at this time.
I got a call from a guy with a collection of 1950s cowboy toys, so me and Corey are on our way to go check them out.
Hello.
Hello.
Here about the toys? Come on in.
This is what I called you about.
Damn, there is a lot of stuff here.
This is like my museum.
You don't really strike me as the cowboy type.
[Laughter.]
You're right.
I'm more, like, the Zorro type.
I've decided to call the guys at the pawn shop to come over to see if they're interested in buying my whole Western toy collection.
Reason I want to sell this collection is just, time to move on.
I'm leaving this house.
I just don't want to lug this around anymore.
This whole collection is worth about $30,000 to $40,000.
I would like to get at least $15,000 for it.
So what was it about the lone ranger that got your blood pumping there? The reason I really like the lone ranger, 'cause he was really an upstanding citizen, even to the day he died.
He really was.
Kind of like me and you.
The lone ranger is a classic.
The show started back in the '30s on the radio and became an instant hit.
With a horse named silver and a sidekick named Tonto, the show became so popular that dozens of cowboy shows followed in its footsteps.
Okay, so what all do you have here? First of all, a complete set of all the comics.
All the board games from all the tv shows.
All the lunch pails and the thermoses.
Lunch boxes are definitely cool.
I know some of these are worth some money.
This is actually sort of my pride and joy.
These are all the toy guns that were used in the show.
And this is the coolest.
Complete set, bat Masterson.
I remember buying this for about $350 about 30 years ago.
If this guy paid 350 bucks for a bat Masterson gun it could be worth a lot more money now.
The rest of this stuff, I have no idea what it's worth.
So what were you looking to get out of all this stuff? This is worth, like, $25,000 to $40,000 if somebody had a store and had time to sell it.
I would like to sell this whole thing for $15,000.
Okay.
Do you mind if I have someone come in here and take a look at them? My pleasure.
All right? All right, good deal.
Thanks.
I'll give you a call.
My pleasure.
I'm glad an expert's coming in so he can just verify what I have.
Rick wants me to go to caesars and find Bob Dylan.
That place is huge.
But I don't care what it takes.
I'm gonna get him to sign Rick's album.
Excuse me.
You guys seen Bob Dylan? No, man.
Sorry, man.
You know where he's at? No, I haven't seen him.
Sorry.
Thanks.
You guys know if Bob Dylan might be around here? I got to get this signature.
There he is.
Hey, Mr.
Dylan.
How you doin'? Okay.
I was wondering if I could trouble you for a signature here.
This is your album, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I did that.
I don't have a pen.
Well, I brought one with me.
Oh.
[Chuckles.]
How did you find me here? I knew you were doing the show, and I just figured I'd walk around till I found you.
Oh.
[Laughs.]
Well, that's I got lucky.
I guess so, yeah.
Anything else you want me to say? You could just make it out to chumlee.
Whatever you want to do.
Okay.
This'll really mean a lot to my boss.
Okay.
Well thank you, Mr.
Dylan.
Ah, good luck to you.
All right.
All right.
This is awesome.
Rick's gonna be so happy.
Earlier today, I looked at a huge collection of old cowboy toys.
They're definitely cool, but I have no idea what they're worth, so I called my buddy Johnny down to take a closer look at them.
I'm Johnny, owner of toy shack Las Vegas.
We specialize in vintage toys and collectibles.
Western toys were made for kids to play with and be used.
They weren't made to be collected, so very few these toys made it through the years.
So, Johnny, man, is old Western toys like this that collectible? Well, a lot of it's a part of history.
You know, a lot of these stories, they might be stories on tv, but they're based on true characters that actually lived back then in the west.
So have you seen collections like this before? Never a Western collection this big.
This is huge.
Oh, this is neat.
This is a bat Masterson play set.
You almost never see the box, let alone the vest and everything else that goes with it all complete.
You know, it looks like this gun's never even been fired.
Okay, so how much is something like that worth? These pieces here, you're looking at about $1,000 just right here on the table.
Okay.
Wow.
This is a great collection of lunch boxes.
You got a lot of the thermoses here, which is important too.
It's a big factor in the price.
These are highly, highly collectible, Rick.
This lone ranger piece is really rare.
Probably looking at about $600 just for this piece here.
Okay.
If it was the blue border, you're looking at about 15.
So what do you think, Johnny? In today's market right now, this is a cool collection.
You'll have no problem moving it for $18,000 to $20,000 in your shop today.
Okay, so do you think someone would buy this in all one shot, or does it have to be broken up? Your best bet is to break it up, 'cause the guy that collects the cap guns isn't gonna collect the games.
And the guy that collects the comics isn't gonna collect the lunch pails.
Thanks, Johnny.
I appreciate it.
No problem, Rick.
I definitely want this collection, but it's gonna be a pain in the butt selling this stuff.
It's gonna take time to sort and catalog and sell this stuff.
And time is money.
Okay, so how much you looking to get out of all this? Well, I would like to get $15,000, Rick.
I'll give you 7 grand.
Oh, I don't think so.
Okay, how about $10,500? And I can't believe I'm going that low.
I will go $9,500, not a penny more.
You know, if you had one item that was worth $15,000, I can see paying $12,000 or $13,000, but this is a lot of work to sell this all individually.
This is hundreds of hours of an employee of mine.
This is true, yeah.
Okay, can I keep one comic book? No.
$9,500.
All right, it's a deal.
All right.
I wanted at least $15,000, but I settled for $9,500.
In one way, I don't feel good about it, 'cause I know the collection is worth three times as much.
But it's time to move on.
I did it, Rick.
You did it? Got Bob Dylan's signature.
Let me see it.
Here.
Check it out.
It's a little higher than where you wanted it signed, but Took me all night to find him.
"To chumlee, Bob Dylan.
" Is this a joke? No, that's his signature.
That's my name.
"To chumlee, Bob Dylan.
" I just wanted Bob Dylan to sign it, just "Bob Dylan.
" No one's gonna want to buy an album off me signed, "to chumlee.
" Maybe another chumlee will.
There's not that many other chumlees in the world.
I'm sorry.
He asked me what just keep it.
I just got caught up in the moment.
Just keep it.
Really? It's for yourself.
This was the game of the century.
If these signatures are real, this thing is absolutely priceless.
This is my fleetwood discovery.
Awesome.
This thing is huge.
Hell, I bet it's bigger than chum's place.
What are you looking to get for this? About $150,000.
All right, deal.
Appreciate it.
My dad's gonna kill me.
Chum, I got a mission for you.
Bob Dylan's in town for a concert.
I want you to bring this album to him and have him sign it.
Hey, I'm looking for Bob Dylan.
Hello? I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop.

One thing I've learned after 21 years, you never know what is gonna come through that door.
How's it going? Good.
How are you? All right, another gun that won't sell.
Not exactly.
Not exactly.
Okay, what have we got? A hockey stick signed by the miracle on ice olympic hockey team.
It's a little hockey stick.
[Laughter.]

All right, great.
Thank you.
Hey, thanks a lot for coming down.
I'm not concerned about the expert coming to take a look at the stick to authenticate it.
I'm positive it's 100% authentic.
Hey, what can I help you with? Hey, how's it going, man? Oh, pretty good.
I've got an old Bob Dylan album here.

Well, the outside's really cool and all, man, but the inside's what counts.
Let's go check it out.
Okay, let's go.
This thing is huge.
And if it's as nice on the inside as it is the outside, I'm definitely interested.
Hell, I bet it's bigger than chum's place.
Awesome.
This thing is sweet.
Yeah, it sleeps six people in here.
In the interior of the coach, you got a lot of storage space.
Right here, we have a brand-new hdtv with surround sound.
This is the rear of the coach.
Where the magic happens.
This is where it is.
This is where it happens.
A queen-size bed.
The engine exists underneath the bed here.
So what are you looking to get for it? Well, right now, I'm looking to get about $48,000.
It books out, in average condition, over $40,000, and brand-new, these are about $150,000.
This rv's in amazing shape for something that's 13 years old, and it's massive.
Might be just the thing for the old man to get so he finally retires.
We normally don't buy motor homes, but you're in luck, because my dad was telling me last week that he wanted to buy one.
So let me call him up and get him down here to see if he's interested in it and see if we can do something for you.
Okay, great.
Thanks a lot.
I appreciate it.
I think they're interested in it, especially because he wants his dad to come and look at it now, even though they told me they really don't usually buy these type of rvs.
This is it.
All right, we'll start from the top.
If these signatures are real, it could be worth a fortune.
Uh, that's interesting.
Don't recognize that one.
Chum, I got a mission for you.
Why are you sending chum? You got other employees that aren't gonna screw it up.
Lots of luck, chumlee.
I got faith in you.
I got to get this signature.
Earlier, I took a look at an rv, and I think it's pretty awesome.
But before I make an offer on something so big, I want my dad to come out here and check it out.
All right, so I brought him, man.
Hey.
All right, pops, so here it is, '97 fleetwood discovery.
and 900 hours on the generator.
All right.
It's a '97.
What's wrong with it right now? Absolutely nothing.
I swear.
I've got warranties.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
You mind if I take a look around? Yeah.
No, go ahead.
Help yourself.
Okay.
All right, no problems with any of the electronics? No, that's a climate control power-adjusting system.
Gas stove works well.
All right, so the washing machine works? Yup.
It's a washer -dryer combo.
Stand-up shower here with sunlight.
All right.
So this is the bedroom.
You got plenty of storage, closet here.
DVD player with satellite.
This rv is in great shape, and with more and more retirees moving to Vegas every day, this thing should be an easy sell.
So do you want to sell it, or what do you want to do with it? Oh, yeah, I'm looking to sell.
How much are you looking to get out of it? About $38,000 right now.
Yeah, $38,000's not gonna happen.
These things are tough to sell right now.
I mean, retired people take these things out, and their nest egg ain't what it used to be.
You're about ready to retire, aren't you? No.
You're at that age.
No, but seriously, you know, I'd give you 15 grand for it.
I have over $30,000 put into it myself.
Yeah.
You know, the thing's also dated, dude.
These things are like a computer.
They come out with a new model.
The old computer, no one wants.
I'll do $18,000.
Can you give me $28,000? I'll go $20,000, and I'm not gonna go a dime more, period.
Hmm.
Okay, 20 grand.
All right.
You guys go do the paperwork on this, all right? Negotiations didn't go as well as I planned.
I wanted $40,000, but he was pretty firm on what he was gonna offer me, so I'm happy to leave here at least with $20,000.
Chum, I got a mission for you.
Earlier today, I bought a classic Bob Dylan album.
I could sell it for 75 bucks right now, but I just heard Bob Dylan is in town for a concert, so if I can get him to sign it, the value will jump considerably.
Chum's not doing anything.
Seems like a project for him.
Chum, Bob Dylan's in town for a concert.
I want you to bring this album to him and have him sign it.
All right.
If possible, sign it right there, okay? It's gonna make it worth a lot more money.
All right.
Why are you sending chum? You got 48 other employees that aren't gonna screw it up.
I'll get the signature.
Lots of luck, chumlee.
I got faith in you.
I can do this.
I hope I just didn't throw away 50 bucks.
You probably did.
There's no question: Chum tracking down Dylan is a long shot, so I'm not holding my breath.
But this is Vegas, and stranger things have happened.
Earlier, a guy came in with a hockey stick signed by the entire 1980 U.
S.
olympic hockey team.
If these signatures are real, it could be worth a fortune, so I invited my friend drew down to take a look.
I'm drew with authentic autographs unlimited, and I'm a forensic document examiner.
What's the story on this one? I got signatures from the 20 players of the 1980 olympic hockey team, the head coach, herb Brooks, assistant coach, and goalie coach.
I remember watching this game, actually.
It was fantastic.
We were just jumping on the couch after we won.
It was just amazing.
So let's take a look and see if it's authentic or not.
All right, we'll start from the top.
Jim Craig, that's the goalie.
He makes a very distinct ending for his "g.
" Capital "j" is always very distinctive and very consistent, so that's interesting.
Eruzione, the captain of the team.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That's herb Brooks' signature.
He's the head coach.
He always takes a zero and goes over the "k.
" You know, it's kind of like a fast type of handwriting thing.
He does that a lot.
Well, when you put all the signatures together, it's like bringing back history, you know? It's not like a single signature where you have very little evidence to go by.
There's all kinds of evidence, and this thing is absolutely authentic.
All right.
Thanks, drew.
You bet.
All right, guys.
Appreciate it.
Thanks for coming in.
Take care.
You betcha.
It's amazing.
Value-wise, this thing could be worth thousands of dollars if someone really wants it bad, and I'm sure someone will pay that one day.
So what were you looking to get out of it? a one-of-a-kind.
You know, it's really neat, but I couldn't come close to that.
I mean, I would give you 1,500 bucks for it.
It's just, sports memorabilia is just like the stock market.
It goes up and down in value.
And this particular point in history right now, it's down.
Way down.
Well, how about $4,500? I mean, don't you believe in miracles? You know, I'll go, like 2 grand on it.
I mean, I think, you know, it's that special.
I might be able to get a little bit more for it.
Double it to 4, and we got a deal.
No.
No.
[Laughter.]
Not only no.
Hell, no.
It'd be a really cool thing in my store, but we're just too far apart, I guess.
Thank you.
Have a good one, man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This stick means too much to me.
I've had it for so long, and there's such a story and history with it.
I just don't think $2,000 is enough for me to part with it at this time.
I got a call from a guy with a collection of 1950s cowboy toys, so me and Corey are on our way to go check them out.
Hello.
Hello.
Here about the toys? Come on in.
This is what I called you about.
Damn, there is a lot of stuff here.
This is like my museum.
You don't really strike me as the cowboy type.
[Laughter.]
You're right.
I'm more, like, the Zorro type.
I've decided to call the guys at the pawn shop to come over to see if they're interested in buying my whole Western toy collection.
Reason I want to sell this collection is just, time to move on.
I'm leaving this house.
I just don't want to lug this around anymore.
This whole collection is worth about $30,000 to $40,000.
I would like to get at least $15,000 for it.
So what was it about the lone ranger that got your blood pumping there? The reason I really like the lone ranger, 'cause he was really an upstanding citizen, even to the day he died.
He really was.
Kind of like me and you.
The lone ranger is a classic.
The show started back in the '30s on the radio and became an instant hit.
With a horse named silver and a sidekick named Tonto, the show became so popular that dozens of cowboy shows followed in its footsteps.
Okay, so what all do you have here? First of all, a complete set of all the comics.
All the board games from all the tv shows.
All the lunch pails and the thermoses.
Lunch boxes are definitely cool.
I know some of these are worth some money.
This is actually sort of my pride and joy.
These are all the toy guns that were used in the show.
And this is the coolest.
Complete set, bat Masterson.
I remember buying this for about $350 about 30 years ago.
If this guy paid 350 bucks for a bat Masterson gun it could be worth a lot more money now.
The rest of this stuff, I have no idea what it's worth.
So what were you looking to get out of all this stuff? This is worth, like, $25,000 to $40,000 if somebody had a store and had time to sell it.
I would like to sell this whole thing for $15,000.
Okay.
Do you mind if I have someone come in here and take a look at them? My pleasure.
All right? All right, good deal.
Thanks.
I'll give you a call.
My pleasure.
I'm glad an expert's coming in so he can just verify what I have.
Rick wants me to go to caesars and find Bob Dylan.
That place is huge.
But I don't care what it takes.
I'm gonna get him to sign Rick's album.
Excuse me.
You guys seen Bob Dylan? No, man.
Sorry, man.
You know where he's at? No, I haven't seen him.
Sorry.
Thanks.
You guys know if Bob Dylan might be around here? I got to get this signature.
There he is.
Hey, Mr.
Dylan.
How you doin'? Okay.
I was wondering if I could trouble you for a signature here.
This is your album, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I did that.
I don't have a pen.
Well, I brought one with me.
Oh.
[Chuckles.]
How did you find me here? I knew you were doing the show, and I just figured I'd walk around till I found you.
Oh.
[Laughs.]
Well, that's I got lucky.
I guess so, yeah.
Anything else you want me to say? You could just make it out to chumlee.
Whatever you want to do.
Okay.
This'll really mean a lot to my boss.
Okay.
Well thank you, Mr.
Dylan.
Ah, good luck to you.
All right.
All right.
This is awesome.
Rick's gonna be so happy.
Earlier today, I looked at a huge collection of old cowboy toys.
They're definitely cool, but I have no idea what they're worth, so I called my buddy Johnny down to take a closer look at them.
I'm Johnny, owner of toy shack Las Vegas.
We specialize in vintage toys and collectibles.
Western toys were made for kids to play with and be used.
They weren't made to be collected, so very few these toys made it through the years.
So, Johnny, man, is old Western toys like this that collectible? Well, a lot of it's a part of history.
You know, a lot of these stories, they might be stories on tv, but they're based on true characters that actually lived back then in the west.
So have you seen collections like this before? Never a Western collection this big.
This is huge.
Oh, this is neat.
This is a bat Masterson play set.
You almost never see the box, let alone the vest and everything else that goes with it all complete.
You know, it looks like this gun's never even been fired.
Okay, so how much is something like that worth? These pieces here, you're looking at about $1,000 just right here on the table.
Okay.
Wow.
This is a great collection of lunch boxes.
You got a lot of the thermoses here, which is important too.
It's a big factor in the price.
These are highly, highly collectible, Rick.
This lone ranger piece is really rare.
Probably looking at about $600 just for this piece here.
Okay.
If it was the blue border, you're looking at about 15.
So what do you think, Johnny? In today's market right now, this is a cool collection.
You'll have no problem moving it for $18,000 to $20,000 in your shop today.
Okay, so do you think someone would buy this in all one shot, or does it have to be broken up? Your best bet is to break it up, 'cause the guy that collects the cap guns isn't gonna collect the games.
And the guy that collects the comics isn't gonna collect the lunch pails.
Thanks, Johnny.
I appreciate it.
No problem, Rick.
I definitely want this collection, but it's gonna be a pain in the butt selling this stuff.
It's gonna take time to sort and catalog and sell this stuff.
And time is money.
Okay, so how much you looking to get out of all this? Well, I would like to get $15,000, Rick.
I'll give you 7 grand.
Oh, I don't think so.
Okay, how about $10,500? And I can't believe I'm going that low.
I will go $9,500, not a penny more.
You know, if you had one item that was worth $15,000, I can see paying $12,000 or $13,000, but this is a lot of work to sell this all individually.
This is hundreds of hours of an employee of mine.
This is true, yeah.
Okay, can I keep one comic book? No.
$9,500.
All right, it's a deal.
All right.
I wanted at least $15,000, but I settled for $9,500.
In one way, I don't feel good about it, 'cause I know the collection is worth three times as much.
But it's time to move on.
I did it, Rick.
You did it? Got Bob Dylan's signature.
Let me see it.
Here.
Check it out.
It's a little higher than where you wanted it signed, but Took me all night to find him.
"To chumlee, Bob Dylan.
" Is this a joke? No, that's his signature.
That's my name.
"To chumlee, Bob Dylan.
" I just wanted Bob Dylan to sign it, just "Bob Dylan.
" No one's gonna want to buy an album off me signed, "to chumlee.
" Maybe another chumlee will.
There's not that many other chumlees in the world.
I'm sorry.
He asked me what just keep it.
I just got caught up in the moment.
Just keep it.
Really? It's for yourself.
