Anyone see Pawn Stars from Monday night?

Regardless of the result, why were they making a bigger deal about the Babe Ruth autograph than the Christy Mathewson?

I guess it just goes to show that they frame the show to make it more appealing/accessible; most people don't know who Mathewson is, but everyone knows Babe Ruth.

I think in their business it's more valuable to have a general knowledge of a lot of things, I doubt they knew.

EDIT: Okay, I didn't actually watch that episode but that Jimi Hendrix signed lyrics page episode was a classic!

the owner knew they were forgeries...

I guess it was on another episode of Pawn Stars but the fake Auto of Steve McQueen on the rare Bullitt poster was a real heart breaker.

Yeah, that was the proceeding episode on Monday. I thought that one looked a little sketchy from the get-go, though, because all of the handwriting looked "similar," as if the same person had done all of the signatures.

Looked like the autos on the bat where done with a sharpie...The Matty auto was not even close to his real one at all
