I just saw this in the TV listings...
Chopper Gamble - The guys get an opportunity to buy a helicopter; Rick has a chance to buy a 240-year-old lottery ticket signed by George Washington; Corey is shown five classic Pete Rose baseball cards in mint condition. Mon 2/8 10:30-11:00pm
Hopefully they're not "classics" from the 1980s.

No matter which cards he is shown, odds are he will offer very little for them.
Should still be interesting to see the show and find out which cards are presented.
I have a Pete Rose collection, so I will surely watch.
<< <i> In a previous episode where a guy brought in a box of old comics, Rick compared the comics to baseball cards--a market that is no longer like it use to be >>
Then he paid the guy like 60.00 for comics I couldn't get 6.00 for.

$100 for all 5...
"I'll give you Ten bucks and you can keep the top loaders"
Deal!
my recent favorite was the guy who looked like he was out of the sopranos with the pez dispensers. when they tried to lowball them he called them a "bunch of cheeches" (whatever that means) and said that their offer was a disgrace to the pez community.
i knew bobby collected trains on the sopranos but a made man collecting pez dispenser?

Good call. I can see it going something like this.
How much do you want for it?
Maybe like $500.
Well, I'll have to get somebody in here to see what these things are worth. I really don't know what they're worth.
Dude comes in and tells him it's hard to say without authentication, these days cards are graded and can be a wide swing depending on the results. Best estimate though, if these were to go at auction, somewhere around 2,000 dollars. Wow, thank you very much.
So, how much do you want for it?
He says it's worth 2,000. How bout 2,000?
How bout not? I'd give you 800.
Look of disappointment.
Listen, I don't have guys coming in here asking for Pete Rose baseball cards. They meet somewhere in the middle.
Honestly, the only things I've seen in pawn shops are power tools and DVDs.
Why would anyone take Pete Rose cards to a pawnshop when they can be easily put on ebay for a greater profit?
Chooch is like mentioned a donket, mule etc.
Better to be called a chooch than a stroonza. lol or however they spell these words.

because the majority of people that bring things into pawn shops either don't have a computer or have no clue how to use one or utilize ebay.
The things that are shown on pawn stars are far from the norm that you get coming into an average pawn shop. Jewelry, gold, electronics, etc....are the most common things for a pawn shop but I had some baseball cards and antiques come into the one I owned. I hope to have a lot more collectibles come into the one I'm opening.
"mint condition" lol $5 says none are.
I'll give you $20 for the one with him and the three other guys on it.

i could not get over his hat (previously mentioned) and that carrying case he had.
Italian slang for hardhead,, blockhead,, any of a number similar insults pertaining to one's stubborness or limited use of common sense.

You're right, the hobby isn't like it used to be. It's no longer over produced cheap junk. It's moderately produced expensive junk, for the most part. Let's get to the point, vintage singles in Mint condition or better bring good money. The same applies to comics, golden and silver age key issues bring it a a good chunk of change, especially CGC graded.
My friend just got back from pawning his wedding ring. Rick said "it was hideous" but gave him $600 for the gold.
<< <i>You're right, the hobby isn't like it used to be >>
I'm not Rick, It was his statement.
looking for 1964 topps baseball psa graded 7+
<< <i>Look like reprints to me. Centering on all 5 is almost identical. >>
<< <i>Rick didn't really give a good explanation of why they were fakes besides vague qualitative statements on coloring. It would have been nice for him to be more specific. >>
He told him the cards were printed with a laser jet printer. Don't see why the guy needed more proof then that.
As soon as he flopped them down on the counter without any protection, I gave up. lol
<< <i>On another note, I would give that dude his $11,000 asking price for that George Washington lottery ticket. What's his number? >>
I wonder how many emails they get about items they didn't buy?
<< <i>lol @ the way chumlee, hoss and the owner were handling the cards, although they turned out to be reprints. On another note, I would give that dude his $11,000 asking price for that George Washington lottery ticket. What's his number? >>
If you truly want a Washington, call John Reznikoff @ 800 237 5692. Tell him that Mike Navarro from Texas sent you. He typically has several in inventory ranging from $8500 or so up to about $200,000 depending on item. He can probably pick you up one of the "lottery tickets" for $11,000. Another good place to pick them up is a catalog auction called Alexander Autographs. It's run by Bill Panagopulos and he's a great guy. They just had a nice auction finish in late January, but there will usually be another around May or so. Incredible selection that will typically contain at least a handful of Washington's. You can find his contact info at http://www.alexautographs.com
Some of the nicest Washington's are signed Society of the Cincinnati certificates. They are typically beautiful items and I recommend one of those over the lottery tickets.
Take care,
Mike
PCGS market value for an MS-64 is 2K, not 14K...I thought that $1,500 was too high of an offer, actually, as there is no way to guarantee that it will grade a 64...

No D on that coin, it was a 1924-P.
