Original subtitles

On tonight's episode, a seller brings in

a rare comic that sets off Chum's Spidey senses.

I have "Amazing Spider-Man #16,"

the first meeting with Daredevil.

I do love Spider-Man.

There's been so many books and series

and, obviously, movie after movie.

Then I move swiftly when a guitar from a pop icon

comes into the shop.

You have to be living under a rock

if you've never heard of her.

She started off at 16 as a country star

and eventually became the number one

pop star in the world.

And later, Corey is ready to walk

when a seller brings in

a piece of presidential history.

We have a walking stick from the 1896

William McKinley campaign.

Definitely a pretty big piece of campaign swag.

I mean, how much money did you have to give

to McKinley to get this?

Taylor Swift?

Yeah.

I have a authentic electric guitar

autographed by Taylor Swift.

She played in Austin, Texas, at a stadium in 2016.

Not exactly the music I listen to,

but I have to appreciate her business sense.

I couldn't tell you one song,

but I could tell you her net worth.

I'm here at the pawn shop to try and sell

a Taylor Swift electric guitar

that she autographed.

Since I purchased this, it's been sitting

in our guest room closet.

And I thought it was about time to let those people

who love Taylor Swift have the opportunity

to have this one-of-a-kind piece.

I'm hoping to get $4,000 for this guitar.

I think it's kind of cool.

Do you know anything about Taylor Swift?

Well, yeah. She's won Country Music Awards.

She's won Grammys.

So you know a little bit more about Taylor Swift

than you're letting on.

Well, than I wanted to let on.

Look, I'm a 65-year-old man who doesn't want

to admit that he may know

some things about Taylor Swift.

So you're a Swiftie?

Yeah, I think you could say that.

You know what a Swiftie is, right?

A Swiftie is a Taylor Swift fan.

I was thinking something completely different, but OK.

You have to be living under a rock

if you've never heard of her.

She started off at 16 as a country star

and eventually became the number one

pop star in the world.

Where did you get this?

I actually purchased this at a charity auction.

Do you got the paperwork on it?

- Right here. - All right, what have we got?

OK.

I don't trust the paperwork

because I've never heard of this company,

just plain and simple. - OK.

And it's from a charity auction, which scares me.

But if it is real, you got something cool here.

Being signed on the guitar is kind of a big deal

compared to signed on a pickguard.

But this looks like it's never been played.

I've never heard of that guitar either.

I'm not familiar with this either.

But then again, it's Taylor Swift.

She might have her own guitar company.

So how much are you looking to get out of it?

I'm asking for $4,000 today.

All right, people love Taylor Swift.

And if it's legit, I would love to make a deal,

because I know it'll sell.

But let's make sure it is Taylor Swift, OK?

Yeah.

I have no problem with that.

All right, let me get my autograph guy,

get him down here, and he'll take a look.

Do you think Steve is a Swiftie?

It wouldn't surprise me.

All right, I'll be right back.

I'm gonna go give him a call.

I'll get him down here.

- How you doing today? - Good, good, good.

How are you? - Pretty good.

What do you have here?

I have a Bape KAWS original fake varsity jacket from 2005.

OK, pretty cool.

It's crazy to think this is 20 years old

because I literally have been buying KAWS stuff

probably since about 2009, 2010.

Nice.

Sometimes I think I wish I would have held on

to some of it a little bit longer.

I think all of us wish we held on to

a lot of our stuff from back then, for sure.

I'm here to sell

a Bape KAWS Original Fake Varsity Jacket.

The jacket is a size medium.

It's your standard varsity jacket

with leather sleeves, wool chest, wool back,

and standard varsity collar.

The jacket is decorated with KAWS's iconic logos,

which include the X's and the chomper,

which goes all around the jacket.

My asking price on this jacket is $5,000.

This is awesome.

Where did you get this?

I got it in Japan, and I've had it

for about four or five years now.

OK, so this is a collab between

Bathing Ape and Original Fake.

And KAWS is actually the owner of Original Fake.

Yes.

KAWS goes by KAWS, but he's Brian Donnelly.

That's his real name.

He's done so many good collabs.

He really is like a staple in streetwear.

These X's and these chompers, which are teeth,

is a couple of KAWS's signature pieces that

he would put on just about everything he did,

especially these X's.

I mean, you don't really think about KAWS

without thinking about exed-out eyes.

Exactly.

Although KAWS designed this piece,

Bathing Ape would have produced it.

And everything I'm seeing is, like,

exactly what you'd want to see.

The collar looks great.

The buttons especially look great.

If this was fake, I'd expect to see the Bathing Ape

wouldn't be in the correct font

and probably wouldn't be spaced out right,

because they can never really get

the buttons right on things.

Exactly.

The quality here is just really good.

So what are you looking to do with this?

I'm asking for $5,000.

OK.

As much as I like it,

KAWS is kind of a really tough style to sell.

You know, it's a very limited market.

Also, being in Las Vegas,

it's really hard to sell a wool jacket.

There are not very many days

out of the year you could wear it.

It is super cool, but I'm just gonna pass.

All good. Understandable.

- Thanks for bringing it out. - No problem.

Thank you.

There's a guy in the shop with a framed guitar

that he says was played and signed by Taylor Swift.

He's looking to get $4,000,

but I've never heard of the company

that authenticated the signature,

so I'm having my autograph guy, Steve Grad, come down.

And he's gonna let me know if I should be

swift on this deal or just shake it off.

Steve, how's it going?

You're a Swiftie, right?

Don't know her music well, but I know

she's a very accomplished singer-songwriter,

and I mean, the 14 Grammys,

you know, the Albums of the Year.

I know she does tons of autographs.

So I'll explain the whole autograph thing.

And this is what's interesting about her,

is she has made a point of getting her stuff out there.

She knows how enthusiastic her fans are.

I mean, she signs a ton of them, Rick.

And so it's a really interesting thing.

You'd think her autograph would be worth

a tremendous amount of money.

It's not because she's put it out there,

so her fans have it, and it's very accessible.

All right, so what do you think?

Well, let's take a look at it.

I cannot get in there

to get the pro scope on that to magnify.

But what I would want to do is take a look

at the signature itself.

The thing I always look for in her autograph

is she's got this nice flowing signature here.

When she comes here, she likes to connect this area lot.

And this gives you a pretty good idea

of how she signs on guitars.

She likes to finish off nicely, maybe one heart on here.

But this is more drawn, more contrived,

and the autograph doesn't match up at all.

And when I look at this guitar,

definitely not a stage-used guitar.

This is, unfortunately, a really cheap

manufactured guitar.

I would assume this is, what, maybe $100 or so, wouldn't you?

I mean, possibly.

Yeah, it looks like an inexpensive guitar.

So knowing her signing habits,

she definitely wouldn't go near this

under any circumstance or sign it.

I just think this is a piece of contrived memorabilia.

Unfortunately, it came out of a charity auction,

and I've seen this happen hundreds of times.

Rick and Corey have seen it happen.

It's just an unfortunate situation.

- Disappointing. - Yeah, absolutely.

OK. Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Good to see you guys.

Good to see you, Corey. Good luck.

- Thank you. - Take care.

All right, sorry.

Unfortunately, I see it a lot, but thanks for

bringing it in, though, man. - I appreciate it.

Thank you. - Take care.

Thank you.

It is disappointing to find out that it's a fake.

You know, the only consolation is

the $2,800 that I paid for it went for a great cause.

So I'm OK.

How you doing today?

I have "Amazing Spider-Man #16,"

the first meeting with Daredevil.

Oh, wow.

This is definitely a cool comic book.

It's kind of cool to see Daredevil in this yellow suit,

you know, especially on the cover

of an "Amazing Spider-Man."

I mean, it's kind of like the dog on your hat.

The dog on my hat is a little cooler than Daredevil.

I don't know about that.

I came into the pawn shop today to sell

my "Amazing Spider-Man #16."

This comic is from 1964.

This is the first time that Daredevil and Spider-Man ever

meet in a comic.

I think it's in solid mid-grade condition.

It has really nice colors, and it's in

really nice shape for its age.

My asking price for this comic is $400.

This is pretty cool.

I do love Spider-Man.

There's been so many books and series

and, obviously, movie after movie.

Daredevil, though, is, you know, a lot more

recent into the mainstream.

But he has a really cool lore, a blind guy

who got his senses heightened when he had an accident

by saving someone and kind of fell into a puddle

of radioactive material.

It gave him this elite hearing, and even though

he couldn't see, he could sense things

and kind of just know where they were at.

Have you ever read this story?

Yeah, I read this story.

Can you give me a little idea

of what it's about?

So they actually battle in a circus,

Spider-Man and Daredevil, but it's because of

the Ringmaster who's up to his tricks.

OK, well, that makes sense here.

The Ringmaster kind of has a little creepy vibe

going with what looks to be like a little ring

of hypnotizing on his hat there.

So I'm guessing he hypnotizes them

and makes them fight or something like that.

Do you collect books, or do you just like

to get them and read them?

I have a huge collection of comic books,

but I need to sell some because I have to pay for

a really expensive project.

This is a good book.

And it looks in good condition.

Is there a reason it's not graded?

Just haven't gotten around to it.

OK.

A book like this, I'm gonna want to make sure

that there's no restoration or anything like that.

And I want someone to make sure that it's in original condition

before I purchase it, like I'm sure you like your comic books.

I 100% understand.

And do you have a price in mind?

I'm asking $400.

OK.

I'm not sure, but that seems like

a pretty reasonable price to me.

I still would like to have someone come down

and look at it, if you're OK with that.

And although this copy isn't graded,

people are still gonna pay for it by what they

determine the grade would be.

So I just need to make sure that we're falling

in the correct value there. - That sounds good.

Thanks, brother. - All right.

I'll be right back.

It's a Charizard or a Pikachu.

This is a one-of-a-kind Pikachu.

OK.

So what makes it one of a kind?

You've got Aoki right here, 1 of 1.

This is the only one like this.

It's Steve Aoki.

He's sort of like a legend in town,

you know, the whole nightclub thing that I really don't get,

but it's probably because I'm old.

I'm here at the pawn shop today to sell

my one-of-a-kind Steve Aoki Pikachu statue.

The statue is about 12 inches tall.

It's on a really cool base, though,

that has marbles in it.

You're gonna know immediately

that it's with Steve Aoki because his face

is right on the front of it.

You're gonna notice his beard, his hair.

I'm looking to get $4,300 for this one-of-a-kind Pikachu.

This is interesting.

Where did you get this?

So it's like the most Vegas story.

OK, so I have heard this story so many times.

Do really well at the tables, drink just a tad bit too much,

and then end up walking into an art gallery in a casino.

- Yes. - OK.

That is what happened, OK?

"I got to have that."

Do you know anything behind the story behind it?

So in the research that I've done,

this is designed by a designer

that goes by HYPNOTIQ Xperience.

That's his name?

That's his name.

And he's known for

this kind of stuff, like pop art.

So he partners with folks like Steve Aoki

to come up with these unique items.

Let's face it, I'm not that hip,

so I'm just sort of guessing here.

It's Steve Aoki.

It's Pokémon.

It's a limited edition.

How much you want for it?

So I've looked online, and I found these very high prices.

HYPNOTIQ Xperience created a series of eight,

but all eight of them are slightly different.

So this is truly a one-of-a-kind item.

I'm looking to get at least $4,300.

OK. All right. So you looked online.

- Yes. - OK.

And that's what people are asking for.

- Yes. - OK.

What were they getting?

They're not-- they haven't been sold yet.

OK, that's right.

OK.

I mean, what they ask for and what they get

is a different story.

I'll tell you what-- I'll go 1,500 bucks.

I think it's worth more than that.

There will never be another one like this.

This will never exist again.

$1,500.

It really is the best price.

Got it.

Sounds like a deal. - All right, sweet.

I'll meet you right over there.

We'll get some paperwork done.

There's a customer in the shop

with a copy of the "Amazing Spider-Man #16" comic book.

This book features

the first crossover with Daredevil.

He's asking for $400.

So my Spidey senses are telling me

I need to have Steve Houston come over and take a look.

Steve. - Chum.

- How are you doing? - Excellent.

Excellent. Nice to meet you.

You too, sir.

This young man has an amazing book here.

Ah, yes.

I haven't taken it out yet

because I figured the pro can do it.

It's a beautiful book, "Amazing Spider-Man 16,"

definitely a historical book.

And now, of course, this is the era

where Marvel were beginning to do their crossovers.

And of course, they're gonna have them fight

because in the Marvel lore, whenever heroes met,

they had a little fight first.

It takes a little while for people to become friends.

It looks like a pretty nice copy.

I'm hoping it all checks out,

'cause I'd want it graded if I ended up buying it.

All right.

So do you mind if I take a look at it?

Of course.

All right.

The first thing that I'm noticing right away

is the color luster.

This book has nice color.

Now, let's get to the important bit.

Mm. I don't like that staple.

Is there a reason?

As you can see, it's completely different color

to the bottom staple here.

This is nice and silver, and this is dulled.

I just like my staples to be the same color.

I always get a little bit wary,

like my own personal spider sense goes off.

Would it be much harder to only replace one staple

than to replace two?

If--I'm not saying it is, but--

If you're replacing the staples,

you would try and replace two,

because you can't match the other staple.

Yeah.

But let's take a little look under the light.

I'm using the light here to see if anyone has done

any coloring or filling in, but the cover looks nice.

There is nothing that's been bleeding through.

And also what I'm noticing here is

the astonishing whiteness of this book--

beautiful white pages.

I'm a little worried about the staple,

but everything else is there.

So say I just wanted to sell this raw.

What would I expect to get for it?

Between $500 and $600.

All right.

Well, I appreciate you coming in.

Thank you.

- Thanks, Chum. - Thanks.

- And a pleasure meeting you. - You too, sir.

- Nice book. - Thank you.

All right, well, you got a beautiful copy here.

Mm-hmm.

Steve is slightly worried about the staple,

but I'm kind of willing to take a chance on it

because the pages are so white.

Would you consider maybe $350?

No, I would just be at the $400

because of what it is.

All right.

Well, if you'll take the $400 for a seal,

I'm happy to pay for it.

- All right, let's do it. - All right.

Meet me at the counter right here.

OK.

Fast cars.

Fast cars. How are you doing?

Doing well.

Little F1 cars. - Yeah.

F1 was never really huge here in the United States.

I mean, we have NASCAR, OK,

which is the redneck version of F1.

I'm at the pawn shop and I'm trying

to sell my total collection

of Jumbo Max Verstappen model cars.

Max Verstappen is a Dutch Formula 1 driver,

and he breaks all the records there are.

I have 13 cars in the collection,

and the most important car is the RB12,

where he won his first race with.

I'm asking $950 for my Max Verstappen special edition set.

Very cool.

What is Jumbo?

I've never even heard of them.

Jumbo is a supermarket in Holland

and the main sponsor of Max Verstappen.

So is Max Verstappen Dutch?

- Officially born in Belgium. - OK.

Yeah, I hate to say it,

but he is our national driver, yeah.

He won F1 here in Vegas,

and everyone absolutely loved it.

It was absolutely amazing.

You couldn't get anywhere because they were

blocking off all the roads.

I mean, it's got a great history.

I mean, like 1950 was basically the first F1 race,

and it's just been huge ever since.

The reason it's Formula 1 because back in the day,

they had the Formula 1, which was the high-end cars.

And I don't even know if there is an F2 or F3 anymore.

Is there? - There is. Yeah, there is.

There's still an F1 and 2 and 3, yeah.

But just no one talks about them.

No.

This country, people are crazy about

the collectible cars in the box.

So we got 13 cars here. - Yeah.

How much would we want for the total?

For the total, I ask $950.

OK.

I don't know a lot about F1.

It just--you know, it just came to Vegas,

so I'm learning about it.

I'm actually gonna go to it next year.

Let me call a buddy.

He'll know more about this.

He'll know about the manufacturer

and everything else like that.

He'll know how collectible they are.

OK.

Give me five minutes.

No problem.

Hey, how's it going?

It's going good.

OK.

It's an umbrella, right?

Yes, it is a Ghurka steeplechase umbrella.

You know we're in a desert, right?

It doesn't rain that often out here.

No, not in Las Vegas.

I'm at the pawn shop here and I'm selling

a Ghurka steeplechase umbrella.

I was at an estate sale, and I happened to see it,

and I was impressed by the quality of it.

I'd never seen anything like that,

so I thought I'd go ahead and pick it up.

My asking price is $1,500.

Definitely pretty cool.

Give me an idea of what exactly it is.

So it was designed for horse races in England.

If it was raining, you could use it as an umbrella,

and if it was dry, you could use it

and open up the handles to sit on it.

So, like, for a spectator?

Yes.

Show me how it works.

Unlatch this, and if it's raining,

you can open it up like that.

Isn't that bad luck?

I don't think so.

OK.

And then if you want to use it as a chair,

you lower that, stick it into the ground,

open it up, and use it as a seat.

OK.

I mean, I guess it makes sense.

Being an umbrella manufacturer,

you'd probably want to be able to sell more umbrellas,

use it all the time, right?

Absolutely.

Mind if I take a look at it?

Yeah, of course. Please.

So have you used it?

When I realized how nicely it was made,

I really didn't want to get it dirty or anything.

It's definitely well made.

Ghurka Original Collection, Marley Hodgson Manufacturing.

And it's from the finest handmade leather gear.

Do you know what year it was made by chance?

It was made around 1987.

I called the company.

They do not make the umbrellas any longer,

but they still make very fine leather.

I mean, they seem pretty cool.

I mean, I can see the leather.

I can see that this thing is made really well.

Do you have any idea what it cost

back when they made it new?

I think they were around $300 when they first made them.

What did a folding chair cost,

and what did an umbrella cost back in 1987?

I guarantee you, far less than $300.

This was your status symbol when you went

to the horse races or pretty much anywhere

you went where you wanted a chair or something like this.

So what are you trying to get out of it?

I'm trying to get $1,500 out of it.

OK. It's definitely cool, man.

It's just--you're gonna have to come down

from there for me-- I don't know.

I don't know what you paid for it.

I just don't see being able to sell it

for anywhere near there.

I'll give you 500 bucks for it.

It's a little low.

500 bucks.

That's the best I can do.

- OK, we'll do that. - Deal?

- Yeah. - All right, right on, man.

Appreciate it. - Thank you.

Come with me over here. Grab that for me.

All right.

A guy brought into the shop a collection of Formula 1

Max Verstappen model racing cars.

He'd like to get $950 for the entire set.

The cars appear to be limited edition,

sold through a Dutch supermarket chain

called Jumbo.

Verstappen is an F1 champion,

so I know anything related to him is desirable.

I just don't know the value.

I have Steve Johnson racing over here

to let me know if I should hit the gas

on this deal or not.

Steve.

Hey, Rick. How's it going?

- Hey, how are you doing? - Good.

All right, we got Verstappen.

- Max Verstappen. - Verstappen, all right.

So Max is the man.

It's hard to quantify in our world

how much of a winner he is.

But just to put it in perspective,

he just broke some really, like, strong record,

which is when you qualify as the top fastest driver,

you get the pole position.

He's got the most consecutive wins in pole position

ever, over any other driver.

And the fact that he's only been driving now

for about eight years and he's breaking all kinds of records

is insane.

And now, you have him teamed up with Red Bull.

Obviously, Red Bull is a very collectible brand.

And because Red Bull is so collectible,

you have people that just collect Red Bull merchandise.

And then add to the fact that this guy is an absolute winner,

it's a perfect scenario for a marketing component.

His marketing value is unsurpassed.

All right, so this guy wants 950 bucks.

What do you think they're worth?

The different cars obviously all have different values.

But right now, the market's down.

It's just across the board in all collectibles.

But I would say looking at it as a lot,

I think it would be safe to say that you could get

$600 for the collection as it sits.

All right, thanks, man. You're the best.

- Yep. - OK, fair enough.

Good luck.

Thank you very much.

OK, He's telling me I can retail it for 600 bucks.

But I think they'll move fast just because

he won at F1 here in town.

I mean, I'll give you 400 bucks for them.

Max Verstappen, come on.

He's the fastest man on Earth.

I know he's the fastest man on Earth.

He's cool and everything, but like,

I still got a business to run.

All right, I know. I know.

But for $400, I'm not in pole position, so, um--

Can you do $450, and we make it a deal?

Um, you know what?

I think they're kind of cool, and yeah, but this is Vegas.

Maybe I can get a little more. - All right.

Right. Thank you very much. - All right.

I'll meet you right over there,

and I'll get you paid. - Swell.

- How's it going? - Good.

How are you? - What do you got here?

I have what I think is a pretty cool piece

of Hollywood memorabilia.

Let me see what you got.

I have Lana Turner screen-worn gloves.

Oh, wow.

Those are little person gloves.

I tried them on.

They don't fit.

I'm at the pawn shop today to try to sell

my Lana Turner screen-worn gloves.

These were Lana's personal gloves that she added

to her film "Imitation of Life."

They've kind of just been sitting in the house.

They've been a nice conversation piece

any time someone has come over and seen them,

but they really aren't on display.

I'm looking to get about $500.

If I make a sale today, I think the money

will just go into a vacation fund for my wife and I.

This is pretty cool, man.

And there it is, right there, Lana Turner.

That's pretty amazing.

- Yeah. - Pretty crazy, cool life.

I mean, she was a starlet.

She was a pinup girl.

She was, like, constantly in the tabloids.

She was married eight times.

That's all, just eight?

Eight times.

First movie was in, like, the late '30s.

She was in it, like, five minutes,

and then she got killed.

But then by the 1940s, she was a sensation.

You know, all of her movies combined grossed more

than Marilyn Monroe's ever did.

- I didn't know that. - Yeah.

In like, today's dollars, she was a billion-dollar actress.

Do you know what movie these are from?

These are from "Imitation of Life."

Was there a reason you bought them?

I actually didn't buy them.

I interviewed her daughter, Cheryl, a long time ago.

And we stayed in touch for a while after that.

And she sent me an email one day and said, hey,

I'm cleaning out some of Mom's things.

I'm preparing for a move. I saw these.

I thought you'd like to have them.

That's really cool.

So these are the screen match photos?

I found these scenes in "Imitation of Life."

What I can tell, those are the exact same gloves.

Cheryl Crane, 2009.

And you've had them ever since 2009?

I've had them for 15 years.

The big question, how much you want for them?

It's really hard to find a precedent

for something like this.

It's kind of all over the place.

I sort of figured, like, maybe $500?

Well, at least you're not crazy.

- I can't promise you that. - OK.

All right.

She should be as famous as Marilyn Monroe.

You can almost argue she was, like, the biggest

female star of the '50s.

But she just didn't hold the test of time

like some other ones.

400 bucks?

I don't know.

I think I'm gonna stay at $500.

You know what? You got me.

I'll do the 500 bucks.

Actually, you know what? Hold on.

Let me--let me rethink this.

I may have been a little too hasty.

You can go online.

You can look at comparables.

That's right around what they go for.

I'll make a little money,

but I'm not getting rich off you.

I hear you.

You know, I think I'm gonna hold on to them.

You're changing your mind?

A little nostalgia happening?

Yeah, I think so. I think so.

Maybe I talked her up too much.

Well, if you change your mind,

come back and see me. - Absolutely.

- All right. - Great to meet you.

- All right, have a good one. - Thank you.

I just talked myself out of a deal.

- Hello. - Hi, Chumlee.

I think I have something that you might be interested in.

Well, what is it?

What I have here is the 2024 edition

of the Leaf pickleball card set.

Well, you came to the right shop

because I actually love cards.

Never opened up any pickleball cards,

but if I can get it from you, probably gonna open it.

I'm not gonna just let it sit on the shelf

and let someone else have all the fun.

I'm here to sell my 2024 Leaf Metal pickleball cards.

The Leaf company were the first ones

to come out with pickleball cards in the year 2023.

I've been playing pickleball for well over 10 years.

And with the introduction of pickleball cards,

it really got me excited.

My asking price today is $150.

Leaf is a really cool brand.

They started in 2010, and they do some very unique

stuff in the card world.

It's still kind of respected amongst

all the card collectors.

And from what I know, in the last 14 years

or so, pickleball has really, really picked up.

So how did you get these?

One of my pickleball friends happened to get one of these,

and he gifted it to me.

So I just want somebody to enjoy it.

And that's why I brought it in today for you.

So why is this box so special?

So inside the box is three numbered

autograph cards in there.

The thing with Leaf is the base cards,

people really don't care too much about them.

People buy this stuff so they can collect the autographs.

And as more and more people start

to collect pickleball cards, these early cards

will be the ones that people will

be seeking after because they would have missed them

when they came out.

It's very true.

And you know, it is America's fastest growing sport.

So as we grow, they're gonna get more popular.

Do you have an idea what you're looking to get for it?

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $150

is what I'm looking for.

It is pretty much a gamble when

you open these and get them.

Would you maybe be willing to go $120?

How about $130?

You know what?

I'll give you the $130 for it, under one condition.

You spend an extra 5 or 10 minutes with me

while I open them and let me know if I get any good players.

Absolutely.

I'm curious myself.

All right, we got a deal then.

All right.

All right, are you as excited as I am or more?

No, I'm very excited.

First up, we have Leigh Waters.

So I can tell you right now, that's a good one.

She is the number one female player in the world right now.

OK, Collin Shick.

It actually is marked rookie card,

so if he ever happens to, you know, be a huge pickleball star

in the future, this is gonna be the card

everyone wants to get.

That's exactly right.

We got our first autograph, Hannah Blatt, rookie card.

She must be an up-and-comer.

OK, well--

Not quite familiar with her yet.

Shelly Bates.

She's probably in the top

30 to 40 players in the world,

so she's making her way up also.

Next, we have Hunter Johnson.

So Hunter is relatively new to

the Pro Tour, excellent player.

You want to know what I love about this card?

It's a pickle jar with a pickle in it.

Very unique.

That's very unique, yeah.

That's pretty cool.

And we hit three autographs.

All right.

I think I did pretty good.

I don't know if I made money or not,

but honestly, I don't really care.

I'm kind of into these cards.

That's the thing with Leaf.

As you can see, they do a really good job

at making their cards.

High quality.

I appreciate you sticking by.

Any time.

Now it's time to get you paid.

All right, the good part.

So I'll leave these here for now,

and follow me to the counter. - All right, thank you.

Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Well, you definitely have your ducks in a row here.

So tell me what you have here.

Some art by David Willardson.

OK, pretty cool.

He's quite the artist.

Do you know what Huey, Dewey, and Louie's favorite food is?

What?

Quackers.

I'm here at the pawn shop to sell my art,

"Get your Ducks in a Row" and "If it Laughs Like a Duck."

One is Huey, Dewey, Louie, and the other one is Donald Duck.

So I got these art pieces at an estate sale,

and there was about four of them hanging on the wall,

and I saw it had value in it, so I just purchased it.

I'm looking to sell this duck painting so I can

feed my real ducks at my farm.

I'm asking $3,000 for the two pieces of art.

This is pretty cool, man.

David Willardson was a commercial artist.

He actually got his big break when he did a painting

for Walt Disney World.

And that painting was seen by the executives

at Walt Disney, obviously.

And they liked it so much, they asked him

to do a series of movie posters

for their new animation stuff coming out

in the same style of the painting that he did for them.

So David did some of the most recognizable movie posters.

He did "Aladdin," "The Little Mermaid,"

"Beauty and the Beast."

Some of the most iconic movie posters for Disney

were created by David.

And after that, David caught a huge break,

worked for Disney for 17 years,

and then he took his shot at fine art.

It's easy to sell stuff that people like.

Right.

All right, well, I think it's cool.

I mean, Donald Duck came out in the '30s.

He was the--you know, some say

he was the number two character.

When I was a kid, I liked Donald Duck way more

than I liked Mickey Mouse.

Donald Duck was funny and relatable, right?

Yeah, he was grumpy.

He was angry.

He was in the Navy, like my dad.

You had to love him.

Can I take a look at them?

Yeah, absolutely.

Help yourself.

I mean, from here, it looks like it's hand-signed.

They may have a certificate or something,

some writing on it.

I don't know.

I mean, it possibly looks like it

might even be multimedia-- I don't know.

You probably want to have Patrick come look at it

or something because it looks like these red dots

are raised a little bit.

I don't know.

It's just--it's cool stuff.

I just don't know that much about the artist at all.

How much are you looking to get out of them?

$1,800 and $1,200 for that one.

So you want $3,000 for the pair.

Yes, sir.

OK.

All right, let me go grab my art guy.

I'm gonna go get Patrick.

I can go get him for you.

- OK, go get him. - All right.

I'm gonna put it on your bill.

This ain't gonna be free.

That makes no sense.

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, man, how you doing?

Let me put this down there for you.

All right.

What do we got here?

Well, we have a walking stick from the 1896 William McKinley

presidential campaign.

So a McKinley walking stick, definitely a pretty

big piece of campaign swag.

I mean, how much money do you have to give to McKinley

to get this?

Well, this is true.

I brought in a 1896 McKinley walking stick

from the 1896 campaign between William McKinley

and John Bryant.

The walking stick is about 36 inches.

It has the bust of William McKinley on the top of it.

It's very ornate.

It's in great shape, considering

it's 134 years old.

I'm asking $900 for my McKinley walking stick.

This is pretty cool, kind of a different

little story with McKinley.

He's one of the few presidents, you know, during his first term

that pretty much fulfilled every one

of the promises that he made.

It's funny when you talk about his campaigns

because I think he kind of invented

the front porch campaign idea.

McKinley just kind of sat on his front porch

and said, if you want to talk to me, come talk to me.

He didn't have a massive campaign.

It was a completely different strategy.

And he won.

The guy had a pretty crazy presidency, too.

He's one of the presidents you--I mean,

people really should know a lot more about the guy.

He annexed Hawaii.

He went to war with Spain.

Beat 'em in 100 days.

That's how we got Guam and Puerto Rico.

And people don't know that he got assassinated.

Right.

He got shot--I mean,

that's how we got Teddy Roosevelt.

You know, uh...

you know, typically when you see stuff that, you know,

people collect from presidents,

especially when it comes to swag, I mean,

it's the ribbons. It's the buttons.

It's stuff like that.

I've never really seen a cane or a walking stick, though.

But it was a fashion statement back then.

I mean, a lot of men did carry walking sticks.

Well, that's a fashion statement

I think that needs to come back.

And you can start it right here, you know.

Do you mind if I take a look at it?

- Yeah, sure. - OK.

1896.

And then we have the protection right there.

I mean, that is pretty cool.

I mean, it looks really good.

I mean, it obviously wasn't used too much.

What are you looking to get out of it?

I'm asking $900 for it.

I've seen them go at auction recently, two of them.

One went for $1,100, and one was at $950 area.

OK.

So you kind of have an idea of what

I'd be able to get out of it.

I'd have to sell it.

I'm gonna assume I'm probably gonna get

$900, $950 for it.

I gotta make some money, so would you take $500?

I'll tell you what, I can go to $600.

It's a historic figure.

As you were saying, he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

He absolutely doesn't get the credit he deserves.

He's worth at least 600 bucks.

Meet me right over there. I'll write you up.

Excellent.

There's a guy in the shop with two serigraphs

by a guy named David Willardson, featuring

Huey, Dewey, and Louie,

nephews of my favorite, Donald Duck.

He's asking $3,000 for the pair,

but I need to know if this is a good price or not.

I've asked Patrick, our art expert,

to come in and take a look and let me know

his thoughts before I write an overpriced bill.

This is the art guy.

As you know, I can do a great impression

of Donald Duck, to my granddaughter, anyway.

Let's hear it.

That was way better.

- So, Patrick... - It was.

What do you think?

So these are David Willardson.

That one is, "If it Laughs Like a Duck,"

and this one is "Get your Ducks in a Row."

So David obviously had a very successful

commercial career with Disney.

How did his fine art career compare to that?

He names his style pep art, instead of pop art,

but it's a lot of bright colors, the Disney characters

always showing an expression or emotion,

not just a portrait of them.

So they're fun. They're bright.

They're colorful.

And these are actually prints, even though it looks like

they have texture to them.

Yeah, I was wondering if they were mixed media.

It confuses a lot of people.

At first, they think it's an original.

So if you look in the lower left, they are numbered.

But in addition, you can just tell that each one of these

is a screenprint or a serigraph.

And the ink is just laid on heavily

to give it that texture.

But it plays into his art style wonderfully.

Do you mind if I get closer just to confirm?

Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Right down here, you can see the number, 381 out of 395.

This one is 269 out of 395.

That's right in line with the edition sizes

that he released these in.

So these are the real deal for his artwork.

How easy do you think these are to sell?

For Disney collectors, pretty easy to sell.

They're nice and large, bright colors.

OK, and what do you think they'd retail for?

Given the condition that they're in,

I would say that this one is worth about $1,200.

And that one is worth $1,000.

All right, so $1,200 on Huey, Dewey and Louie,

and $1,000 on Scrooge McRick.

Yeah.

It's not Scrooge McDuck.

It's--never mind.

Thanks, Patrick. I appreciate it.

No problem. Good luck.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

All right, what do you think about what Patrick said?

Well, he's the expert.

All right, so I'll give you 1,000 bucks.

Here's the thing. It's art.

It takes up room.

It takes a while to sell, and I got to make a living.

How about $500 for the Donald Duck, your favorite.

Donald Duck?

Yeah.

Anyway, we both win.

You know what?

I'll take the one for $500.

I think you mean 500 bills, but I'll go write him up.

Sounds good.

I don't know why they say I'm always grumpy.

I recently purchased a set of trading cards

of professional pickleball players.

I've never tried the game, so I decided to set up a lesson

for Rick, Corey, and myself.

I heard there's a kitchen involved,

so it sounds like our kind of game.

I like your razzle dazzle.

You put that spin on it.

Hey, Chum.

What's up?

I'm dinking right now.

What do you mean, dinking?

It's a little pickleball term.

Oh, my.

Whoo!

So we're here to play pickleball.

We're here to get some pickleball lessons.

And in your age, it's good to have a sport that you can--

Can we please--

enjoy with some friends.

quit bringing up my age?

Well, you're not old.

It's just you're getting at the age where, you know,

it's getting harder and harder to join a sport, so.

It is kind of cooler than mall walking, isn't it?

I don't do mall walking.

Darla, you think you can help these guys?

I can definitely help them.

Put this in your hand like that.

- OK. - How does that feel?

It feels good. All right.

You want to come around with me?

- Sure. - All right.

Does this mean Rick's on my team?

Aw.

Here we go, volley.

One more time. One more time.

Nice one.

Behind the line, Rick.

Listen to your coach.

It's all right, Corey.

That was your best one.

Talk about out of the kitchen.

All right, I'm still getting used to this game.

- Underhand. - I'm just figuring out--

Very good, guys.

paddle control.

Damn it.

Big swings.

You're out of the kitchen, son.

Yeah, that's great.

Look at you go, Rick.

Nice.

That was terrific.

I think you found your calling.

Try to hit a little bit from the side,

like you're hitting a baseball.

I think your dad's gonna be better at you in this.

I hope so.
