- On tonight's episode,

Corey and I are all shook up
by an ask fit for a king.

- I have a camera here.

It filmed the very first
color film of Elvis Presley.

- How much you want for it?
- $3 million.

- [chuckles] Um...

Then a seller wants Chum
to shell out the big bucks

for a mysterious item.

- I thought it
might be a dinosaur egg,

something prehistoric.

But now it's just been
a paperweight.

[chuckles]

- And later, I take
stock of a rich deal.

He has a stock certificate
apparently signed

by the man himself,
John D. Rockefeller.

- One of the richest men
pretty much of all time, right?

- So how much do
you want for it?

- About 2,500 for it.

- What do you think I am,
a Rockefeller?

[laughter]

♪

[rock music]

♪

What do we got?

- I have a camera here
that y'all might be

a little bit interested in

when I tell you
a little bit about it.

- Okay.

- It filmed the very first
color film of Elvis Presley

on August the 7th, 1955.

- Okay.
- How crazy is this?

You guys lived in a time
where it was illegal to record

somebody's hips on TV.

[laughter]

- I'm here at the pawn shop to
sell a Keystone Capri camera

that filmed Elvis Presley.

It's very rare

because it's the first film
of Elvis in color,

and it was done before his
career ever really started.

My asking price for the
Keystone camera is $3 million.

If I get $3 million
for the camera,

I will take care
of my family and my church.

♪

- It is a Keystone camera--
really cool.

Kind of a neat company.

I mean, they started
right around 1920-ish.

It's funny because
they made toys,

and they started making cameras

and eventually made
motion-picture cameras.

And this one was really neat
because it's 8-millimeter,

but it uses a 16-millimeter
film cartridge,

and it films down one side.

Then you flip
the cartridge over,

and it films down
the other side.

- Okay.

- So this filmed Elvis
at one point?

- Yes.
- All right.

- How do we know that?

- Bought the camera from the
Robertson family back in 1999.

Mrs. Robertson filmed Elvis
with this camera.

- I mean, sounds interesting.

- And what did they film
Elvis doing?

- They filmed him onstage
singing.

That was
at Magnolia Gardens, 1955.

- Okay.

He was with Colonel Tom Parker
and a traveling road show.

And he was basically
just a warm-up band,

eventually became
the headliner.

It was a traveling show.

So do you have the film?
- No, I do not have the film.

The son sold the film.

- You just have the camera
that someone randomly used

and filmed Elvis?

- That's correct.
- All right.

Big question--
how much you want for it?

- $3 million.
- [chuckles] Um...

where did you get that number?

- In all honesty, Rick,
I don't know what it's worth.

- Okay, you have to understand,
if it was Elvis's camera,

probably worth
a couple thousand bucks.

But, like, how many cameras
were on red carpets

taking pictures
of Marilyn Monroe?

The camera itself--
got a cool story,

but I don't think anyone's
going to pay any extra

for that story.

- Okay.
- Take care, man.

- Take care, bud.

- Have a good one.
- Yes, sir.

I'm not all shook up
because they didn't buy it.

But I'm here,
so viva Las Vegas.

♪

- Hey.
- Hello. How you doing?

- Good, good.

I wanted to stop by today
and see if someone here

might know what this might be.

My uncle gave it to me
about a year ago,

and he always wanted
to know what it was.

And he thought
it was a turtle shell.

I did a little investigating,

and I thought it might be
a dinosaur egg,

something prehistoric.

But now it's just been
a paperweight.

[both chuckle]

I'm here at
the pawn shop today

to see if what I have
is a fossilized turtle shell

or maybe a dinosaur egg.

It's pretty heavy.
It's pretty smooth.

It does have some dents
in it and a small hole.

It's got some lines
ingrained into it.

My asking price today is $500.

I just kind of set
that amount on it

because I'm not really sure

what it is or what
it might be worth.

If I were to sell it today,

I am getting married
next month,

and I would probably use
that on my honeymoon.

- This is actually
pretty interesting.

It's got some cool
patterns on it.

So what else do
you know about it?

- He found it
in Knightstown, Indiana,

about 25 or 30 years ago
in the gutter.

- Okay.

I really have
no idea what it is.

It's pretty heavy,
though, you know?

- Yeah. It seems real.

- The more I look at it,
you can see the resemblance

of a turtle shell.

But I'm not seeing any signs

of what I would, like,
expect to see,

where the turtle would poke its
head or tail or its legs out.

I would expect
to see something.

- We later realized that,
but then I thought,

well, maybe they had gotten
filled with mud and hardened.

- It does have the resemblance
of some kind of fossil,

but I'm really
at a loss for words.

I have no idea.
It looks like a rock to me.

It could be a turtle shell.
- Okay.

- It could be a dinosaur egg
for all I know.

- Okay.

- What are you looking to get
for it? How much?

- I was thinking about 500

since I have no clue
what it is.

- Okay.

I'm no fossil expert, though.

I have been right
plenty of times,

and I've definitely been
wrong plenty of times.

So I'd like to have someone
come take a look at it.

- Perfect.
- Give me just a few minutes.

I'm going to call down Andre.
- Okay.

- Basically my fossil expert.
- Great.

- All right, give me a few
minutes, get him down here,

and see what he says.
- All right. Thanks.

♪

- How are you doing today?
- I'm good.

Got something interesting
to show you today.

We have a Standard Oil Company
stock certificate

from the 1890s that was
signed by John D. Rockefeller.

- Okay.

Rockefeller, his net worth
was worth 3% of GDP.

That's how much money he had.
- Wow.

I'm here today to sell
my John D. Rockefeller-signed

Standard Oil
stock certificate.

The stock certificate
is from the 1890s.

It's unused or unissued,

and it's signed
by John D. Rockefeller.

I bought it from
an estate that had

a large collection
of antique documents

and other miscellaneous
ephemera.

And the estate was
just outside

of Charleston, South Carolina.

I'm asking $2,500 for my
Standard Oil stock certificate

signed by John D. Rockefeller.

♪

- Rockefeller, I mean,

probably the most brilliant
businessman ever.

But he was kind of ruthless.

I mean, by ruthless, like,
undercutting his competitors,

a lot of not great
business practices.

But he ended up--by the 1890s,
he controlled, like,

90% of the oil in the world.
- That's amazing.

- Yeah, so this right here

was a stock certificate,
Standard Oil.

This was a stock certificate
that was meant to be issued

in the 1890s...
- Okay.

- But it was never issued,
which is kind of weird.

- Definitely interesting.
I mean, he signed it.

It's got
the serial number there.

- I don't know if it's
a good thing or a bad thing

it's not issued.

The big thing is the signature.
- Yeah.

- So how much do
you want for it?

- I'm looking to try to get
about 2,500 for it.

- Okay. The thing that concerns
me--this is the 1890s.

This is one of the richest guys
in the world.

- Yeah.

- Is he actually signing
the stock certificates?

- Mm.
- Okay?

Or has he got some
assistant saying,

hey, I need 100
stock certificates signed.

I need 1,000 stock
secret signed.

I mean, what,
is he going to sit around

and sign 5,000
of these himself?

So maybe, but maybe not.
- Mm.

- Okay?

So let's find out
if he signed it

or there was a secretary
that signed it.

- Okay.

- I'm going to call up
my buddy Steve Grad.

I mean, number-one
autograph guy in existence.

He'll know.
- Okay, awesome.

- All right.
Right back.

♪

- A woman came into the shop

with what she believes
could be a turtle shell

or a fossilized dinosaur egg.

But I'm not quite sure
if it's a fossil

or just
a nicely textured rock.

The seller
would like to get $550.

This is definitely a job
for our paleontologist Andre,

who's heading over
to solve an ancient mystery.

- Hey, Chum.
How are you?

- Hey, Andre.
How you doing?

- I'm doing well.
Hello. How are you doing?

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- So, thanks for coming in.

It looks really cool.

It does have some remnants of,
like, a turtle-shell shape

here kind of pattern.

But that's what we have here,
something interesting.

- Something interesting.
Fantastic.

Well, provenance,
information with fossils

is super important.

So if you can tell me,
where was this found?

- It was found
in Knightstown, Indiana.

- Okay.

Do you mind if I pick it up?
- Yeah, go ahead.

♪

- Knightstown, Indiana.
- Mm-hmm.

- Well, turtle fossils
are pretty common.

They go all the way back
to the Jurassic Period,

so hundreds
of millions of years.

This does have the appearance
of a turtle fossil,

but there's a couple of things
that just immediately jump out.

Number one, turtles
have two parts.

They have a carapace,
which is the top shell,

and they have a plastron,
which would be the belly.

And, generally, they
are two different types

of textures and patterns,

and I don't really see
that here.

And, also,
it seems to be solid.

I don't see any holes
for the arms and legs.

- Well, another thought
that she might have

is it possibly could be an egg.

Does it make sense
looking at it like that?

- Well, given the area...

no dinosaur fossils have ever
been found in Indiana.

So this would either be
the first

and most important fossil
ever found from the state

or just kind of a novelty.

And a dinosaur egg would have a
very distinct dimpled texture,

like a modern egg.

I don't see anything, to me,
that stands out

as being any evidence
of being a vertebrate fossil.

So I'm going to go
with concretion.

A concretion is basically
just fossilized mud,

and these are formed
in marine deposits.

Basically, it's a mud ball
that was formed in the ocean.

♪

- So is it collectible?
Does it have any value?

- If I had to put
a value on it,

you know, it could be
your pet turtle rock--$20.

- All right.
Well, thanks for coming in.

- Yeah, my pleasure.
- All right.

- Thank you. I appreciate it.
- Nice to meet you.

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, probably not exactly
what you were hoping to hear.

I know that's not what
I was hoping to hear.

- Same, yeah.

- Although I do like it,
I think it's cool,

I would give you 20 bucks for
it that Andre said it's worth

if you wanted to sell it.

- I think I'm going
to take it back home.

I think it might make
a nice paperweight.

- All right. Well, there goes
my story of telling everyone

I had a dinosaur egg.

- Thank you very much.
- Have a good day.

Thank you.

♪

- How you doing?
- Good.

How you doing today?
- Pretty good.

What do you have here?

- Well, I got you
a hero costume

from an iconic actor
by the name of Cesar Romero.

- Okay, the Cisco Kid?

Also, Cesar Romero was
known for the Joker

in the "Batman"
television series.

- Yeah.
- So, pretty cool.

[chuckles]

The Cisco Kid, the first story,
I believe, came out in 1907.

And it was close to, like,
30 different productions

have been made
about the Cisco Kid.

Cesar Romero
played the Cisco Kid,

I think, in about five
of those movies.

Tell me why you bought it.

- My dad grew up
as a young Mexican kid,

and the Cisco Kid was
very important to him

as a Mexican hero.

He was called
the Robin Hood of the Old West.

- Definitely
a really cool figure.

He was a very positive
role model

for, you know,
Hispanics in this time period,

who weren't used to seeing
a leading character like this.

Pretty cool.

And you got a--is this
a movie poster right here?

- Half-sheet poster, 1939.

- And then what do
you have over here?

- Just an autographed photo

showing him in the costume
on his horse.

- And, yeah, you can see it.
I mean, he looks quite dapper.

Look at him.
He looks like the hero.

♪

So where did you get
this stuff?

- From the Debbie Reynolds
auction.

Her and Cesar were friends.
She's a dancer.

He was an amazing dancer,
Fred Astaire-ish type.

So he gave it to her
because she collected

a lot of Hollywood costumes.

- Okay. I see a United Costumes
tag right here,

so that's really cool.

- There's one
on the waistline right here.

- Okay.

- Fox Studio tag
as well as the United.

- Okay. So this is probably
a cleaning tag right here,

Fox Studio cleaning tag.

181c, Cesar Romero.

And it's typed in there,
so that's pretty cool.

And do you know what you're
looking to get for it?

- About 7,500?

- I love dealing
in this kind of stuff.

I love dealing in movie props.

But, you know,
I feel like, for $7,500,

I could probably get something
that Elvis used onstage.

You know what I mean?
Something like that.

in a movie or a cartoon...

- Exactly.

- What do you think I am,
a Rockefeller?

[both laugh]
Okay, so have a look at it.

- Okay, let's first
just take a look

and see what we have here
under magnification.

Obviously, Rick,
you know, he'd be using

a steel-tipped fountain pen

or, you know, something similar
to write with.

- I'm sure he used
a gold-tipped fountain pen.

[laughter]
- And you could see right here,

we have some live ink on there.

His autograph was--quite
simply, it was beautiful.

I mean, he took
a lot of time with it.

He took a lot of pride with it.

I do have a few examples
to take a look at.

You could see this leaning R,
we get that right over here.

And you can just see how
he comes off everything.

It's literally perfect.

So no doubt
you've got live ink.

Beautiful signature,
definitely real.

- Okay.
- Wow.

- What does his signature
or autograph go for?

- You know, Rick,
think about this.

He started, what, in the 1850s
or something as an accountant.

- Yeah, pre-Civil War.

- So pre-Civil War,
and he had so many companies,

and he would sign
so much stuff.

And, obviously,
he signed all this stuff.

So there's a lot of it
out there,

but he's still in demand,
he still has good value,

and people like this stuff,
especially for displays.

This one, in the condition
it's in, which is very nice,

you're looking at $2,000.

- All right. Thanks, man.
- Yep. Good to see you.

And good luck to you.
- Appreciate it.

Thank you.
- Yep. Take care.

- All right, I told you he
kind of knows what he's doing.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I'm really
impressed with it.

I, um...

I'll give you 1,500 bucks
for it.

I'm kind of in love with it.

I mean, I have to frame it up.
I got to make a display.

- What do you think of 1,800?

- I think 1,700.

- I know,
but I like that 1,800.

- Now you're acting
like Rockefeller.

- Well, how about
we meet in the middle?

- 1,750?

Awesome.

- Rockefeller, Vanderbilt,
Carnegie--

these captains of industry
were so stinking rich

that today,

more than a century
past their expiration dates,

their names remain shorthand

for, well,
really, really rich guys.

[laughs]

They all thrived
as part of the Gilded Age.

Not the TV show,
but the actual time period,

which lasted
from about 1870 to 1900.

But, of course, no journey to
the top comes without bumps.

Due to their unethical
business practices,

exploitation of workers,

and corrupt influence
on politics,

many folks used a less
flattering nickname

to describe them--
robber barons.

[laughs]

Cornelius Vanderbilt
ruled transpo.

If you were going somewhere
during the 1800s,

he likely had something
to do with it.

Andrew Carnegie was
the original man of steel.

He ruled over every aspect
of the steel business

for two decades.

This guy netted
nearly half a billion

selling Carnegie Steel
to banker John Pierpont Morgan.

John D. Rockefeller
became a multimillionaire

by dominating the oil industry.

By the early 1880s,
his Standard Oil

controlled 90%
of the refineries

and pipelines in the States.

His family got so rich that his
son once bought an entire town

and relocated 46 families

solely to reroute a train line

that was billowing smoke
over his golf course.

Talk about high society.
[laughs]

Rockefeller's fortune
would be worth

over $300 billion today.

Bezos, 200 billion?
Chump change.

[laughs]
Someday maybe people will refer

to me as the Rockefeller
of the pawn industry.

the following day--

February 11, 1957.

I'm hoping and asking to get

- This is pretty cool, man.

Patsy Cline is a legend
in the country-music world.

First woman to be inducted
into the Country Hall of fame,

had the number-one
jukebox hit, "Crazy."

But she had a very tragic
passing, you know?

She died very young--
I think right around 30.

She had a benefit show.

And after the show,
she got on her plane,

You're saying this was
something from a fan club?

But if a diver tried to go
that far, he would be dead.

fights in Las Vegas history.

And the second ticket's
the 1997 rematch,

more infamously known today

because Mike Tyson
bit Evander Holyfield's ear.

I'm ready to sell
these tickets today

because I've had them
for 15 years

and I think they deserve
to find a new home

closer to Las Vegas.

My asking price is $3,000.

- Definitely really cool.

So you have 1996--
was the first fight.

1997 was the rematch.

Tyson's, you know, arguably

one of the best fighters
in history.

But Holyfield was that new
style of boxer, more points,

wasn't
about the quick knockout,

more of the technical
side of boxing.

Holyfield, technical knockout.

Tyson fell down, what,
two or three times, right?

- Right.

- No one expected
to see Holyfield win.

- Let's have a rematch.
- Got to have a rematch, right?

- So 1997 was the rematch

at the MGM Grand here
in Las Vegas.

Holyfield did headbutt him
a couple times.

Tyson just went right back
in and bit his ear off.

One of the craziest things
to happen in boxing,

and this is a sport
with a lot of crazy stuff.

- Yeah, Nevada Commission
pulls away his license

after the Bite Fight.
- Absolutely.

What are you looking
to get out of them?

- So I would like to get 3,000
for the pair.

- Okay. I don't really know
this market that well.

I mean, I think
they're really cool.

Would you let me
call my buddy Dave down

to come check them out?
- Yeah, absolutely.

- All right.
Hang out for one second.

Let me give him a call.
- Sounds good.

♪

- I have a seller in the shop

with a post card handwritten
and signed by Patsy Cline.

He would like to get $1,900,

but I'm not sure
how collectible

something like this is.

Thankfully, I have
Warwick coming over

to tell me if this
is a good deal

or if this price is just crazy.

- Chum.
- How you doing, Warwick?

- You're looking
very Chum today.

- You know,
I'm always Chummed out.

- [laughs]
- This is Warwick.

- Hi, Warwick.
both: Nice to meet you.

- Yes.

- And this is what
I called you about, Warwick.

So I would want to
focus on definitely

your expertise on Patsy Cline,

because this postcard was
written by her.

- I'm a big Patsy Cline fan.

- I knew you were.

Obviously, I can appreciate
Patsy Cline,

but she's just a little
before my time.

- She's before my time, too.

Please, please.
But this is very nice.

Very good condition,
too, isn't it?

"Record sold over 200,000.
I can't believe it."

- Which record was this?
- "Walkin' after Midnight."

- Nice, my favorite.

But everybody knows
"Crazy," right?

She put Willie Nelson
on the map.

That was the first
big song he sold.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

- I didn't realize that.
- And they say today

that it's the number-one
jukebox song of all time.

And I love the fact it says,

written
"on plane 9,000 feet up."

- So what's the Patsy Cline
collector market right now?

- I think, due to the fact
that she's not forgotten,

she's still valid.

Her signed photographs go
for 2,000 to 2,500.

If you were lucky enough

to have a dedicated LP
or something like that,

probably go 3,000, 3,500.

So the letters, it all depends
on what the content

of the letter is,
how interesting it is.

But then she's talking
about her TV appearances

in this, is very good,
and her record selling.

She's got a lot of news
in this one little 2x2 area.

- So how much do you think
the postcard is worth?

- I think the postcard, if you
were selling it at auction,

it would get $1,900.

- All right.
Well, thank you.

Appreciate you coming in.
- Always my pleasure.

Good luck to you.
- Thank you.

- All right, well,

after hearing
everything Warwick said,

I do really like it a lot.

I'm not going to be able to
get you to that 1,900, though.

If he believes it will go
for 1,900 in an auction,

that probably means
I'm going to sell it

for about 1,500 in the store.

With that being said,
it's a lovely letter.

I would love to buy it.

Would you take 875 for it?

- Would you consider
950 possibly?

- Okay.
I could do 950.

Just go to the counter and
they'll get you paid up there.

- Okay, sounds good.
both: Thank you.

I feel good about the deal.

I was hoping to get as much as
I could, and I feel like I did.

And I'm going to donate that
to a nonprofit

related to country music.

So I'm sure they
will be happy, too.

♪

- There's a guy in the shop

with a pair
of graded ticket stubs

to the 1996 and 1997
boxing matches

between Mike Tyson
and Evander Holyfield.

These tickets are
in great condition,

and the seller is asking
for $3,000 for the pair.

So I asked our sports expert,
David Kohler,

to come by to let me know if
I should bite into this deal

or if I should just let it go.

♪

What's up, Dave?
- How you doing, Corey?

- So we have some
PSA-graded ticket stubs.

You'll know exactly
what I'm talking about

when you see them.
- Yes.

So we got boxing here, huh?

- Yes.
- Holyfield--

- Mike Tyson, Holyfield.
- Wow.

Tyson-Holyfield, two of the
most famous boxing events

right here in Las Vegas
back in 1996, '97.

We call it the Bite Fight.

Tyson bit off about an inch
of Holyfield's ear.

The boxing world was probably
turned upside down after that.

- Here's my question.

Is there a market
for ticket stubs like this?

- There is, definitely.

The ticket market is very,
very desirable,

especially
for milestone fights.

Here we have--this
is a very rare ticket.

It's a full ticket,
and it's a $1,500 ticket.

So this would have been
a ring-side ticket

that someone didn't use,
which is remarkable.

They didn't go to the event.

Could be the only one.
I don't know.

Do you know?
- So I sent it in for grading.

Yes, it is the only 9 that
exists, and there are no 10s.

So this is the single
best graded ticket.

- Wow. Okay, so, here,
you know, the other one.

This is the more famous fight,
of course.

Now, this is not a full ticket.
This is a stub.

So someone had this ticket,
and they went to the fight,

but still very,
very desirable, right?

This is the Bite Fight.

It says it right here
on the label.

- So what do you
think they're worth?

- You know, this ticket here,
the fight one is more valuable,

in my opinion,
because it's a full ticket.

The second fight is more famous
because of the bite,

but this is a stub.

And anybody that went
to the boxing match

probably saved that.

So you see more
of those getting graded.

I value the pair about
$2,500 for the pair.

- Well, I appreciate
you coming down, man.

Thanks a lot.
- All right, Corey.

Thanks a lot.
- Take it easy, Dave.

- All the best.

- So they're almost worth
what you're asking for them.

I mean, you're pretty close.

But what everybody
seems to forget

is I got to make money here.

I'll give you 1,500 bucks.

- I think that's
a little too low,

especially considering
the rarity of that full ticket.

- I believe you, man.

I think they're cool as can be,

but I got to have a profit
in there somewhere.

What are you thinking?
- We are in Las Vegas.

How about 2,100?

- 1,800?
- 1,950?

- 1,800.

- All right,
I'll do 1,800 for you.

- 1,800, we got a deal.
- We got a deal.

- All right, cool.
Meet me over there.

You'll get paid, and I'll
take care of these, all right?

- Sounds good.

[rock music]

♪

- How you doing today?
- Pretty good.

How you doing?
- Good, good.

- So tell me what
you have here.

- We have
a Louis Vuitton Mahjong set.

- This is cool.
- [laughs]

I'm here today to sell my
Louis Vuitton Mahjong set.

I acquired this set from an
estate sale here in Las Vegas.

I'm very curious
about this item

because I'm not sure

if it is actually a
Louis Vuitton original piece.

I'm hoping to get $1,800
for this Mahjong set today.

- You know,
mah-jongg is a game.

It originated in Asia
mid to late 19th century.

It's a tile-based game that
was most likely developed

similar to card games.

You know,
you cycle through your hand,

and you discard tiles
and pick new tiles

and you try to get
certain combinations.

Let's open it up and take
a look at it if we can.

- Sure.

♪

- Okay, so, yeah, you have
the tiles in here,

the "LV" on one side,

and then you have the Chinese
characters on the other side.

Well, Louis Vuitton is known
for doing all types

of vanity-case things,

and they've actually made
several Mahjong sets.

You know, they released--

I believe their first one
was around 1950.

And recently even 2021 and '22,
they released,

you know, a new set.

Now, the newest Mahjong set
is $89,000.

- Wow.
- It's, like, a trunk.

It has drawers on it.
It's insane.

But Louis Vuitton has made
all kinds of crazy stuff.

So what are you looking
to do with it?

- I would like to sell it.

I've had it for a while, but
I think it's time to let it go

to a true Mahjong player
that can appreciate it

and that will actually
play the game.

- Okay. How much are you
looking to get?

- I would like to get $1,800.

- Let me take
a closer look at it.

I don't like the color
of this canvas right here.

It should be the color
of afternoon tea,

which is a darker shade
than this.

So let me take a look.

♪

So you have a lot
of problems with this.

♪

I don't think
this is authentic.

I actually know this
isn't authentic, 100%.

First, the color is very wrong.

Louis Vuitton canvas
is not this color.

Two, you don't have
the right hardware on here.

This is not
Louis Vuitton hardware.

So I would just pass
on it today.

But Mahjong is a good game.
People do collect this stuff.

I think someone might still buy
this from you.

You just have to be
forward with them

and let them know that it's
not a real Louis Vuitton case

so you don't have
someone coming back

looking for their money later.
- Right.

- But thanks for
bringing it in today.

- Hey, no problem.
- All right. Have a good day.

Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

♪

- What do we have here?

- Just a variety of records

with at least
a little bit of music history.

- Okay, so test pressings?

- Yeah, we've got
some test pressings here--

Gordon Lightfoot, Bangles,
Prince, "Batdance."

- Okay.

This is really, really cool.

So the Gordon Lightfoot
is kind of incredible.

I mean, I know most
young people don't know

who Gordon Lightfoot is,

but he was like
the Bob Dylan of Canada.

- Yeah.
- [laughs]

- I'm here at the pawn shop.

I brought some test pressings
from the 1970s and the 1980s.

So I brought in
a Gordon Lightfoot album

from 1976.

I also have a "Batdance"
test pressing by Prince.

In addition, I brought in
a "Greased Lightning" single,

and I also brought in
a test pressing for the Bangs.

Most people know
them as the Bangles.

I think the records that
I brought in here today

are really, overall,
in pretty good condition.

For my test pressings
here today,

I'd like to get a total
of 9,500.

- I'm kind of impressed.

Yeah, so test pressings,
they're--

basically, you're going to
come out with a vinyl record.

And before they go into
massive production,

everybody's got to sign off
and say...

- Exactly.
- It sounds good.

Yeah, I mean, you've got
some really cool stuff here.

I mean, record collectors
collect rare stuff,

and the super-rare stuff
is the test pressing.

That's sort of
like the holy grail

of, like, record collecting.

♪

I'm assuming
this is great condition.

How much do you want here?

- Well, I think,

you know, we're looking
at individual items here.

For the Gordon Lightfoot,
I'd like to get 1,500.

For "Greased Lightning,"

I'd like to get 3,000.

For the "Batdance,"
I'd like to get 1,500.

And then the Bangles, this is
really early in their career,

so I'd like to get
3,500 for that.

- Okay.
So we're talking...

$9,500.

All right.

And I have no idea

♪

But I have a buddy who
does know if it's a good price.

Let me get him in here,
and we'll get it figured out.

- Great.
- Okay.

- Give me five minutes.
- All right.

[rock music]

- I have a customer
in the store

with a collection of 1970s
and 1980s vinyl records

that he says
are very rare test pressings.

He's looking to get 9,500
for the entire lot.

But before I make an offer,

I've asked Matt Anthony

to come by
and get on the record

on whether I should buy
these or not.

- So what do we have?
- Records.

- They sure look like it.

- Apparently he's saying these
are original test pressings.

- So can I look at these?
- Sure.

- Okay, now,
the Gordon Lightfoot here--

is this a alternate
version record?

- I was told that these were
alternate versions

as far as the person who
sold it to me knew.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- If it has different
versions of songs,

it will be considerably
more valuable.

- Sure. Understandable.
- Okay.

Do you want to go
to "Greased Lightning"?

- Yeah, "Greased Lightning."
So we have John Travolta.

And he's singing this song,
right?

- He's singing the song.

It's a big, you know,
focal point of the movie.

People love it.

What's also interesting
about this is,

this is "Greased Lightning"
with a G.

When it comes out
on the soundtrack,

it's "Greased Lightnin'"
with an N.

A collector would love that.

Batman--
Batman and Prince

are two of the most rabid
collector fan bases

in collector-dom.

This doesn't even look
like the test press

that is readily available.

A lot of them that went out

had a Batman logo on them.

This has a Warner Brothers logo
on them,

and it's also stamped.

So highly collectible,
and it's in great shape.

- Okay, and the Bangs?

- The Bangs,
which is also super cool.

L.A. girl group, so cool.

Great shape.
I love the name "The Bangs."

But, obviously,
they had to change it.

- There's an etching here.

- Sure, it says "Bangs'
Consciousness Arrives."

100% authentic.
- Okay.

All right, so we have

some really cool
rock-and-roll vinyl history.

Individually, what do you
think they would retail for?

- So for the Gordon Lightfoot,

if it is
a alternate-version record,

I would put it at 2,500.

If it's the record
that ends up coming out,

I would put it at $250
for the test pressing.

The Batman
I would put at 3,000,

the "Greased Lightning,"
5,000,

and the Bangles, 250.

- All right.
Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

- Anytime.

All right.

We got two records here I think
we can make a deal on.

So 3,000
for "Greased Lightning,"

1,500 for Prince.

4,500 for these two?

Think it's a fair price?

- Well, you're giving me
what I'm asking.

I agree with you.
- Okay, we got a deal.

- I'm glad that we were
able to spin a deal,

and I'm looking forward
to continuing to spin records.
