- On tonight's episode,
it's no more Mr. Nice Guy

when it comes to an outfit
worn by Alice Cooper.

How much you want for these?
- $30,000.

- That sounds really,
really high.

Then, Corey's in for
a fight over a rare knife.

- This is one of the most rare
fighting knives in existence.

I can't even tell you
how rare it is.

For collectors of
fighting knives,

this is their Holy Grail.

- [blows air]

- And later, I get a
second chance to make

a once-in-a-lifetime deal.

- Well, I have two very rare
MetaZoo sample sheets.

- Gary, are you giving him
another shot at something?

- I am going to.

- Gary brought in
all the Charizards.

- Pokey-man cards, yeah.
- Today, it's about 10 million.

- Don't worry.

You were right to pass
at that price at that time.

- Yeah.

- How are you doing, buddy?
- Good, yourself?

- I'm doing all right.
What do we got here?

- We have an authentic 1988
Olympic torch from Calgary.

- OK, all right.

You know, and like,
but I can imagine

running a few miles with this
would get a little tiring.

- I can't imagine you
running a few miles period.

- [laughs] I'm really
excited to be here.

I'm hoping to sell my
1988 Olympic Winter torch.

It's one of the most rare
Olympic torches known to man

and there's only
a handful that are unlit

like the one I'm showing.

So the Olympic torch is made
out of recycled beer cans,

which Canadians seem to like.

I'm hoping to get $50,000 for
my 1988 Winter Olympic torch.

- It is kind of cool.

'88 Olympics,
that year with the Olympics,

I don't know a lot,
just besides

the Jamaican bobsled team.

I mean, they ended up even
making a movie out of that.

- There was another
underdog that was shown,

Eddie the Eagle.

- Eddie the Eagle,
I remember this guy.

- Ski jumper.
- What country was he from?

- Britain.

- Britain had no
ski jumping team,

so this guy just wanted
to be in the Olympics,

never skied before, just
strapped on some skis,

became the only
guy that qualified

because he's the only guy
that did the jumps.

Got to the top of a ski jump,
just rocketed down there.

It was almost like he was
trying to be Evel Knievel,

but never rode a motorcycle.
- [laughs] Yeah.

- OK.
So where did you get this?

- Our family business,
located in Canada,

did all the laser
engraving here

because we were the only
company in Western Canada

that had a laser.

And the Olympic Committee
found us.

- OK, so your family
did the laser engraving.

That's cool.
But how did you get the torch?

The Olympic Committee
gave us one.

- But this was not used
in the relay, though?

- Correct.
- All right.

Here's the big question.
How much you want for it?

- $50,000.

- Here's the problem with,
like, anything Olympics.

It's not very collectible, OK?

You're from Canada.

Probably you got some
great hockey friends, OK?

If you go in their man cave,

they don't have
any Olympic stuff,

they just have
their hockey stuff.

- Well, do you want
to make him an offer on it?

I mean, I got
a number in my head.

- I'd offer you 8 grand.

- 28.
- No, 8.

And I'm being generous
with that number.

- 27 would be good, gentlemen.
- No.

I'm sorry, man.
We're not gonna make a deal.

All right, well,

Tell me about it.

- It is big.
It's 7 feet tall.

It's a one-of-a-kind.
It's made by Funko.

And it's a PEZ statue.

- Does it actually
function like a PEZ

or does it just look cool?
- Unfortunately, it doesn't.

And even if it did,
I guess we'd have to find

candy big enough to put in it.

- Well, not that you
would put candy in it.

But it would just add
a little bit of extra coolness

to it if it actually
opened up like a PEZ.

- I'm at the pawn
shop today to sell

my Funko Deadpool PEZ statue.

The statue is 7 feet tall.
It weighs probably 450 pounds.

So I'm asking $25,000
for the statue just because

it's Funko,
it's Marvel Deadpool,

and it's PEZ and there's only
one in the world.

If I'm able to make a sale
today, I would take the money

and put it in a savings account
for a new house.

- Deadpool is a really,
really cool character

in the Marvel world.
He's kind of an anti-hero.

He kind of has this
sick personality.

And 1991, I believe, was
his first comic appearance.

So he caught on, you know,
relatively quick.

In 2017, there was
a big collaboration

between PEZ and Funko Pop
to promote the Marvel series.

I see the PEZ
marking right here.

Does it have any
Funko markings on it?

- Yes, it is signed
by Mike Becker,

the founder of Funko

and also by the former CEO,
Brian Mariotti.

- So was this like
a raffle giveaway

or something like that?

- I was at the Funko PEZ launch
event in Irvine, California.

- So were you the
winner of the raffle

or did you buy it
from the winner?

- I was the winner
of the raffle, yes.

- OK, that's pretty cool.

It's actually in
really good condition.

I imagine you just put it up
in your house when you got it?

- Yeah, it's been with me
the whole time.

So I've had it for
the last five years

and taken really,
really good care of it.

- Do you have your
price in mind?

- Yes, I'm asking 25,000.

- OK. Uh, it's got all
the stuff you'd

want it to have to ask that
much for it, PEZ, Deadpool.

And I mean, nothing's
hotter than Funko

over the last five years.

So I have no doubt this
will bring some good money.

I just have no idea what
that is because

it's one-of-a-kind item.

Let me make a phone call

and see if I can get my guy
Steve Johnston down

here to take a look at it.

He deals in Funko Pops
all the time.

- Yeah, that sounds good to me.

- All right, give me
just a few minutes.

I'll make a phone call and
then I'll come back out here.

- OK.

- Perfect.
Thank you.

Alice Cooper basically invented
the horror glam on-stage genre.

I told you it was the biggest
Funko you've ever seen.

- Wow, that thing is cool.

How's it going?
- Hey, nice to meet you, Jason.

- Nice to meet you.
- Are you familiar with this?

- So they did a whole event
to promote

that Marvel was now going
to be in the Pop PEZ world.

And Funko is really
good at these things

where they've brought these
events that come to life

and they have super exclusive
items that you can get.

- It does have a couple
nice signatures on the back.

- It's signed by Mike Becker,
which is the founder of Funko.

And then it's also signed by
the former CEO Brian Mariotti.

- Mike Becker is kind of
like the rock star of Funko.

He's the guy that
if you're a Funko collector,

he's someone that
you want to get.

So that does help.

- How do you price this?
- Really, it's like items.

There's not a Funko Pop PEZ
life-size

that's been available
in the marketplace

that you can do research on.

There's a huge collector base
for PEZ,

but that's the small-scale PEZ.

And if the larger 18-inch
scales are any indication

to the collector market of
what a larger scale would be,

I have a tendency to think
that that collector is

probably going to be
a little more timid

on something really large.

- I'm looking at it
more of like a kind

of a Deadpool collector.

Or do you think this is a Funko
guy that's going to want this?

- I think this going
to be a combination

of a statue collector,
someone who collects Marvel,

and specifically Deadpool
over a PEZ collector.

- How much do you think
it's going to sell for?

- Being one of one and
the current marketplace,

I think that you could safely
expect to get $8,000 for it.

- All right, well, thank you.

- No problem. Good luck.
- Thank you.

- All right, so Steve's
valuing it around 8,000.

You were initially
asking $25,000 for it.

I mean, this is awesome.
I'd love to buy it from you.

But I'd probably
be at about 5,600.

- I mean, I was willing
to come down to 18.

- Yeah, I think you're right.

For me, it's just
too much right now.

I think that if you can
do some good publicity

with the right auction house,
you'd definitely

get the group of
collectors you need

to get your price up there.
- Sounds good.

- Well, thanks for
bringing it out today.

- Oh, yeah, no problem.

Thank you.
- All right.

Do you need any help taking
this out to your car? I can--

- I'll put it on my back
and carry it out.

- All right.
You're stronger than I thought.

Thank you.

What's up?
- Welcome to my nightmare.

- [laughs]
- That's a clue.

- [laughs] So have you
had Alice Cooper stuff?

- I had a big exhibit
on Alice Cooper.

They came out in about 1969.

Apparently, they went and
set up on Frank Zappa's lawn

and played for Frank Zappa
and said,

you have to call the police on
us or sign us to your label.

- OK.

- And he signed them
to the label.

So what do you think?

- Let's start with this thing.

Do you have a history
on where it came from?

- Yeah, it came from Ron Volz,

who I believe was either
a producer or a manager.

- You think this is
all a single outfit?

- I feel like the mask,
the hat, and the boots

all go together
with the overalls.

- Do you have any photographs
of any of this stuff?

- I do not.

- So we got to do a
bit of detective work

to figure out where
this came from

and when it might
have been worn.

A satin opera hat.

Now, I'm not sure
if in the early '70s

he was wearing the opera hat.

Snakeskin boots.

They really do look like
the Chelsea Cobbler of London.

[suspenseful music]

Yeah, they're not
mass-manufactured.

These are custom-made.

- So what do you think
of this stuff is worth?

- For any of this stuff
to have real value,

you have to photo match it.

If it's not
photo-authenticated,

I've only $1,300.

If you add the photographs
to it and you can prove that

Alice Cooper is in it, then
you get $3,500 for this set.

- OK.

- The t-shirt here,
these are very,

very collectible right now.

Because it's a tour staff
t-shirt, $500 t-shirt.

- OK.

- Have a good one, man.
- Always my pleasure.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

on the price.

OK?

If you get this photo matched

we'll talk about a price.

I just don't sell stuff where
I tell people I think it is.

It either is or it's not.

I felt so bad eight
years ago about that--

that time that I thought I'd
give him another shot today.

- So these go for
a lot of money?

- Yes.

The most expensive card
is probably

the Pristine 10 first edition
Base Charizard.

The card itself is
considered the crown jewel

of the Pokémon world.

- So how much do you want
for these things?

- I'm looking for right
in the area of $500,000.

- It's out of my

- It was like an easy 10
million, though, right after?

- Today it's about 10 million.

- But don't worry,
you were right to pass

at that price at that time.
- Yeah.

- Since that day,
I've actually befriended Gary.

We've done a lot of
conventions together.

And I actually
am familiar with these.

- So this is not Pokémon?
- No.

- It's more similar
to Magic the Gathering.

But basically it's
a strategic card game,

and you battle with
your deck of cards

to try to eliminate
all the creatures

off your opponent's field

and then tallying up your
life points to win the game.

- Can I say, the creatures
on here--whereas Pokémon,

of course, are just made-up
characters by their artists,

these are based on "real"
cryptids like Bigfoot, Mothman.

- To put it in terms
you'll understand,

that's the Charizard
of the game.

- OK, so that's
an expensive one?

- And this is the
most expensive one

because it's the black border
sample Mothman.

These are sample MetaZoo
sheets,

which would have been
before the first edition.

So this is the earliest
example of MetaZoo

that was ever printed.

Gary, why don't you tell Rick
how you obtained these sheets?

- Well, I got these
directly from the founder

and owner, Michael Waddell.

He gave them to me.

I think we traded off something
with my Pokémon stuff.

And so that's how
I ended up with them.

So let's talk business.

What are you asking
for these things?

- I am looking for $120,000
for the two.

- All right.
You are the trading card guru.

What do you think
they're worth?

- Thing about MetaZoo is they
recently went out of business.

Now there is speculation
that another company

will come and buy them out.
- Big company.

- It still has a
really big following.

But the market of people that
can afford them is very small.

You know,
these are really cool.

The problem is there's
so little of them out there,

you really don't know
what they're worth.

- All right.

How is it a popular game
if they go out of business?

That doesn't make sense to me.

I mean, just--
just as a businessman.

I'm just saying
I'm gonna stay away from it.

I don't know enough
about it to invest

that kind of much money.

- All right.

Looks like you're
missing out again.

- Um.

Yeah, I'll be able to sleep.

- All right, well,
thanks, Gary.

- Of course.

- I'll help you carry
this stuff to your car.

- Thank you.
- All right.

- I'm a little disappointed
about not making the deal.

But I know what happened
with my Charizard collection

I brought in eight years ago.

Hopefully, this will
be the same thing.

In ten years from now, I'll
be very happy they didn't sell.

- While you might not find me

[cash register bell dings]

- Today I came into the
pawn shop to try and sell

my 1915 five-peso gold coin.

This coin I found when my
uncle passed away

and wanted to see
what it was worth.

I'm hoping to get
at least $500.

If I'm able to make a deal,

I can use that money
to see a show,

do something fun in Las Vegas--

maybe bungee jumping,
something like that.

- OK, pretty cool.

The coin actually
has a weird history.

You know, every time
you have a new country,

there's a change of government,
you know.

To switch over to the new
currency takes a long time.

And, quite frankly,
with new governments,

they really don't
trust anybody.

So the Spanish-American War
ended 1898-ish.

Cuba became
a U.S. protectorate.

This is right
around World War I,

where no one really trusted
paper money,

not in the United States.

So, to make it really,
really convenient,

a five-peso gold coin
has the exact amount of gold

as a $5 U.S. gold coin.
- Oh.

- So where did you get this?

- So I went to Florida
after my uncle passed away.

And I came across
this particular coin

that was kept separate
from all his other coins.

But this one being
separate, I thought

it was something special.
- OK.

Not a really big
collector market for them.

I mean, this is
the most common one.

- How much were you
looking to get for it?

- I was thinking $500.

- And that's
a completely fair price.

It's got 525, 530 bucks
worth of gold in it.

The beautiful thing
about gold coins

is they're literally the most
liquid thing on the planet.

I can sell and
get money for this

faster than I can for stocks.

So 500 bucks is a deal.

And because it was
a cottage industry

and they were made in small
machine shops or basements,

very few numbers
of these were ever produced,

and they were
produced regionally.

The purpose of this knife
was really close combat.

These American GIs
in World War II

are getting shipped overseas
by the hundreds of thousands.

They did get issued knives,

but you could
also bring your own knife.

Now, people don't think
of World War II

as being a close-combat event.

But in many times and for
many GIs, it actually was.

What it really is,
is a M.H. Cole knuckle knife.

So the guy who made this was
a police officer

in Birmingham, Alabama,
during World War II.

M.H. Cole--he had some
kind of medical condition

that prevented him
from going overseas.

And his way of contributing
to the war effort

was to make custom
fighting knives.

How did you get this?

- So it's
from my great-grandpa.

He was originally from Alabama.

- So your great-grandfather
is from Alabama

and served in World War II?
- Yeah.

- That makes a lot of sense.

So he would have contacted Cole

or known that he was selling
these, bought one,

and gone off to war with it.

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

- The one thing
I do have to check

is how many points are on it.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine.

So it having nine points
is really significant.

What's exceptional
about this--

Cole is known to have made
about 300

of these knives completely.

The first 50 to 75--
and no one knows for sure--

had 9 points.

If its 8 points,
it's second model--

not as desirable as the first.

So this is one of the most rare
and collectible

fighting knives in existence.

'42, and '47.

The Brooklyn Dodgers versus

It would have been

[bat cracks]

I'm here to sell
World Series programs

from the '30s and '40s.

I have 5 programs starting
from 1936 through 1947.

My asking price
for the programs is $5,000.

- It's pretty cool
to have programs

dating all the way back
to 1936,

especially this time period.

This is when baseball was,
like, the biggest sport.

The national sport, I think,
kind of is what it was.

Programs started out
as just a way for the fans

to keep track of the score.

The scoreboard wasn't around.

Originally it would have been
like a card.

You would have kept
track of the score.

And then I'm not exactly sure
when it developed into more

of a brochure like this.

But it was kind of the time
that you just got away

for the day and went
out with your family

and watched the baseball game.

So I got to ask
how you got these.

- There was a auction
in Sarasota.

And I knew there were
some Yankee programs there.

And I just had to have them.

- This would have been cool

because I imagine there's
team photos and stuff in here.

- Mm-hmm.

- 1936, The Giants
versus The Yankees.

Also in '37, the Giants
versus the Yankees.

'38 would have been
the Cubs versus the Yankees.

And here we go, I think this
is a scorecard right here.

DiMaggio--I mean,
I recognize that name.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, and, I mean,
this one here, the 1942--

if you look at all
the other ones,

they're related to baseball.

1942 has an American flag
on it.

So just kind of sums up
what was going on this year.

So do you have a price in mind
for this collection?

- I'd like to have
a total of $5,000,

which would be $1,000 each.
- I don't know.

I imagine they're worth

a cobbler in Germany.

So grandpa was around,

how to use all the shoe tools

and, like, became, like,
a little amateur cobbler.

He ended up going
to medical school,

got out of medical school 1905,
1906, somewhere around there.

Immediately went into
business with his brother.

They were doing shoes and
different items for your feet.

They were wildly successful
right off the bat.

This is kind of cool.

I'm sure the podiatrist
used this,

like, to tell you what
was messed up with your foot.

used to use human feet,

you know, human bones,
human skeletons.

Where did you get it?

to clean out the office

and throw everything away,

you want for this?

you get that number?

you were to buy one,

You guys know each other?

- All right, well,
this guy has got these.

- That's cool.

So this is a prototype.
This is how they build a game.

Typically, this stuff shouldn't
get out to the public.

As far as in terms of how rare
video game prototypes are,

how hard they are
to acquire,

when you're talking about older
cartridge-based prototypes,

typically those were in-house.

And especially ones
that have differences,

that means it wasn't
a final version.

That's really unique to find.
So you don't see them often.

And it's cool when you do.

Prototypes were usually kept
internally or destroyed...

- Destroyed.
- By Nintendo.

- But you've seen them before?

- Yeah, I mean, prototypes

are technically
"one of one," right?

They're unique.

Is there still
an existing prototype

for every game out there?

Probably not.

But I'd say a majority
of them do have it.

But if you're talking about,
like, really popular games

and early prototypes, that
stuff--like Zelda and Mario--

that stuff's not out there.

That stuff's really tough
to find.

Sometimes prototypes
were sent out as, like--

especially once disks
were cheaper,

they would make a lot of them,
and they'd send them out

to, like, game reviewers

or people that they wanted
to try it out.

But, typically, by that point,

they were more, like,
final versions of the game.

So it's pretty rare
to find an earlier prototype.

- OK.

So was this game a big seller?

- This game is
the "Batman & Robin" equivalent

of the video games.

- [laughs] All right,
so did not sell well.

- It didn't do well.
It might have sold OK--

- It sold OK.
- Just because of the tie-in.

- Yeah.

- But the reviews and
the reception were atrocious.

- All right, so the big
question--what's it worth?

- As a set, I would say it's
probably worth, you know,

you have 300 here,
1,600, 1,700 here--

two grand for the set.

- I understand where
he's coming from.

But my feeling on it
is that it's so unique,

it is hard to value.

- I mean, I deal in unique
things all the time.

How many people care
about that, given the fact

that it's an unpopular game?
