I just watched an episode of Pawn Stars where Cory buys a Bullitt Italian one-panel movie poster. The poster looks to be in really nice shape (my very good to fine, or at least very good), and he runs it down because he says it shouldn't have folds! He ends up getting it for $200, which is not too bad, but it is high retail, considering we have auctioned it eight times and it has never gone that high (see http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/BULLITT/mode/0/country/Italian/type/Italian%25201p/archive.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/BULLITT/mode/0/country/Italian/type/Italian%25201p/archive.html)).
They should have called in Steve Olson, a major dealer who has appeared on their show (they could have introduced him as one of their buddies) to get some expert poster advice!
-
Maybe being in Sin City they know they can score a premium for something so iconic?
OR they don't really care because it's a TV show and they are going for entertainment value...
-
Yea, I saw that last night. I thought the Bullitt posters went for a lot more, then I looked at your past auctions and realized not that one! That's why you have to do your research. But for those guys paying $50-100 over market is nothing, it's pennies, besides he was going to give it to Rick (whose a big McQueen fan, so he wasn't going to resell it). I read somewhere Chum Lee makes $25,000 an episode, can't imagine what Corey and Rick make. The Old Man makes like $10,000 an episode and he just sits around complaining!
-
There is another episode where they purchase several "pawn shop themed" posters. A few were really nice...
We may have discussed that episode in another thread?

It's probably all staged, just like Storage Wars:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/11/storage-wars-fake-lawsuit_n_2279176.html
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/custom/Documents/ESQ/A_E.pdf
Former "Storage Wars" star Dave Hester is suing A&E and alleging that significant aspects of hit reality show are fake, Deadline reports.
According to the lawsuit obtained by Deadline, Hester claims that "Storage Wars" producers plant expensive items -- such as a BMW, or a newspaper announcing Elvis' death -- in storage lockers that its stars are supposed to be blindly bidding on.
“['Storage Wars'] regularly 'salts' the storage lockers that are the subject of the auctions portrayed on the Series with valuable or unusual items to add dramatic effect, even going so far as to stage entire storage units," the suit reads.
Hester claims that he was fired from the show for complaining about the shady practice, and is seeking $3.5 million in damages.
Dan Dotson, a representative of the show's auction company, refuted the allegations to TMZ, claiming that all storage units featured on the show are sealed before auction and are therefore not susceptible to tampering. "We only sell legitimate units on Storage Wars. Every unit goes through a 64-day legal process and no one has access to units prior to auction,” Dotson said.
-
Yeah, I saw that episode as well. He said "well, there are some condition issues. there are folds, and this should have been rolled." Apparently, they know next to nothing about movie paper because, as we all know, a never folded Bullitt Italian 1P probably does not exist.
Not the first time I have seen them shine their ass trying to act like experts.
-
still, would be nice to see local boy Rich go in and tell them how it is... ;D
-

I've never seen a legitimately rolled vintage Italian poster of any film, they all appear to have been folded at some point in time... The guy obviously wanted to just be on TV, of all places to try and sell a vintage movie poster a pawn shop is like the last place I'd go, but it worked out for him I guess, he got on TV and got more money than they normally sell for.
-
beats american pickers though, the taller skinnier one needs to be smacked in the face with a pick axe.
-
What i don't get about these programs is that by showing how 'profitable' running a pawn shop or picking through endless house full of stuff is, aren't these guys doing themselves out of business? I know they get paid a lot of money for letting the cameras in but in the end they are showing people how it's done.
Also why is it the same four or five people bidding in storage wars? They must have security telling other wannabe bidders to fuck off otherwise there would be 500 people there bidding.
And has no one heard of selling online and getting closer to the retail value of their items?
-
The few times I have watched it, I decided it was a forum for bragging rights for collectors. A lot of stuff shows up there that would never be sold to a pawn shop. Like movie posters sold by a known hobbyist, or that Ford Model A Panel truck. Many better places to sell that stuff that will get you fair market value.
-
people who need money, especially here in Las Vegas, take what they can as fast as they can get it.
Typically, most people who go to a Pawn shop out here want money "right at this minute" fro anything from rent and electricity to just plain gambling money. I've never sold anything in a Pawn shop and don't believe I ever made a pruchase in one though I have sometimes gone into Super Pawn looking for tools, or my stolen laptop a few years back. Usually what they are asking for stuff is more than what you can buy it for new, but that isn't how they make money. They make money on all the people who come in week after week paying them 5% or 10% on the loan, until they have paid so much that the item they pawned is no longer of any value. I had a Succubus.. I mean a girlfriend, who sold some of my shit to Super Pawn years ago (some silver coins and jewelry). That dumb bitch would have sold her soul to the devil for booze, pills and gambling. The pawn shops of NYC are veritable Teddy bears compared to Nevada

Pawn Stars is heavily staged and scripted.
If you've ever actually been to the store (I personally haven't, but spoken to two friends who have and there are numerous recordings of a walk-thru during "normal" business hours), it's completely different then what you see on the show. First, 90% of the store is filled with Pawn Stars Show Memorabilia. Things like t-shirts, bobble heads, those silver coins with the Old Man's face on them, etc. They have a bunch of things you see in the show, but rarely actually sell them for the inflated costs. The store itself is usually PACKED full of people, where you can barely even walk around, let alone see anything. The principle characters are almost never there. One friend saw Chumley, but he was only there to sign autographs. And they don't really buy anything, at least from 'normal people'. There is a good video of someone taking in some very expensive and rare item, only to be summarily dismissed by one of the staff with some generic "sorry, not interested, we're not buying things right now" line.
Another friend who was in Las Vegas actually ran into one of the "sellers" on the show at a bar. He was some musician who came in to sell his guitar. My friend spoke to him and said he was paid by the producers and everything was scripted - he never actually sold anything.
We watch the show and enjoy it, but mostly for the limited history information on some items and entertainment value. But the transactions are not based on reality.
If you ever watch Hardcore Pawn, that's certainly more like your typical pawn store as far as the clientèle, merchandise, etc. However that too is also completely staged with fabricated stories, people, etc. They also screw up in the editing room and give out way too much confidential information in some of the clips if you pause and zoom in. Things like people's home phone numbers and office extensions. Hell, one guy's social security number and address were on the screen for a split second before they blurred it out.
In any case, you need to take any of these reality shows with a huge grain of salt.
-
Enki, your post is only partially true and considerably enhanced.
They do indeed do Pawn there and every morning people are lined up outside waiting fo rthem to open so that they can sell. Pawn is their #1 business.
Second, the store will never ever be so full of people that you can't walk around - they meter the number of people who are there at any time and absolutely do not let the store get crowded. The majority of the store is indeed full of pawn, but yes, they do have Pawn Star merchandise all over the place as well. Pawn takes up most of the store's space.
Finally, the boys are almost always there, but they're in the back and don't deal with the daily flotsam that walks in.
Just the facts

The only reality TV I watch are wildlife documentaries.
Humans are just too silly and boring.

No, the reverse, I liked it at first, but the more I saw that dickhead wanking on about himself and how excited he is and, I dunno, I find him irritating, the chubby one needs his own show, he is watchable.
Operation repo is more mu speed, bloody hilarious (and yes I know it's fake)

He just needs an Aussie accent.
Please do not even attempt to watch Canadian Pickers - I hate both of them and they really do a disservice to us Canucks who are not annoying dweebs...

Haha, I have seen one from Canada I think, can't remember if that's what it was called. Two blokes with beards, both jokers. I dunno. My strange addiction and hoarders are the ones I do like.

And both of my friends stories validated what was in those videos. As you can see, most of the items on the shelves are show related. Outside of things on the walls, recognizable from the show, the majority of their sales are for tourists wanting to take home a souvenir of the show/store. And that video shows a very crowded store to me.
In any case, my point was that the majority of the show is all scripted and staged.
-

I like the show. The show is actually by Mike Wolfe (the tall skinny one), his idea, he took it to TV and I think he is a producer too.

Rich is correct. You have to wait in line forever to get in because they do not want the shop full of people. I was in there a couple months back I decided to go there since I only live an hour and a half north of Vegas. I get there and the line is long and it was hotter then hell outside. Then I finally get in there and everything is over priced. The only things that were reasonably priced was the pawn stars merchandise. I decided not to line their pockets and I left. I did not see anyone from the show again like Rich said they are more then likely in the back. Just not worth the time to go there. I seen that episode the other night with the Bullit Italian 1p and it was cool looking but when he offered that I figured they were paying retail if not more for it. So I looked it up and sure as shit I was right. Kinda funny how just about everyone that watched that episode hops on Bruce's website and checks to see what they normally go for lol.

Enki, did you actually read and understand my post at all?
the truth is that your video supports what I said
you said:
First, 90% of the store is filled with Pawn Stars Show Memorabilia. Things like t-shirts, bobble heads, those silver coins with the Old Man's face on them, etc. They have a bunch of things you see in the show, but rarely actually sell them for the inflated costs. The store itself is usually PACKED full of people, where you can barely even walk around, let alone see anything.
then I said:

The majority of the store is indeed full of pawn, but yes, they do have Pawn Star merchandise all over the place as well. Pawn takes up most of the store's space.
and what I said is supported by the video. The store is for the most part, Pawn merchandise which seems to take up the 90% you think the t-shirts do.
There are t-shirts and the like, as you would expect from a store that is featured on TV and gets lots of visitors from out of town who think these clowns are some sort of celebrities. But when you consider that Honey Boo-Boo is a celebrity, it isn't hard to see the similarity.
Then, as can be seen in the video, people are walking around just fine without being obstructed by a store that is
PACKED full of people, where you can barely even walk around, let alone see anything.
and if you want to see pop or Chumley, go to the shop with an expensive and unique item to sell, and I'm 100% certain you'll have a chance to meet them.
-
Well I guess we can agree to disagree. I thought the store was pretty "packed" and most of what I saw in that video was show souvenirs.
Anyway, on a separate topic, check out this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQLqAP60T5g
It was the stores original homemade pitch video to try and get a production company to pick up a "Vegas Pawn" type show. Very interesting. Apparently they were originally going for a Taxicab Confessions type late-night-pawn-store-customers based show, but when History picked it up, they wanted the format to be like how it is now. But the video gives you some interesting behind the scenes look at the store and people before they became famous. It also actually looks like a real pawn store.
There's also this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvu6APT3JLY&feature=youtu.be
which was from a 2003 clip of Insomniac w/Dave Attell. Rick has hair.
-

In the first video you posted yesterday, that appears to be an accurate representation of the shop, and although there are quite a few people in there, there is still plenty of space to walk around, talk to employees, etc. The only place I saw souvenirs was the little area with t-shirts and stuff, and the one shelf with the bobbleheads. The rest of the store has "real" items, and considering it's a pawn shop, that is some fancy stuff.
The number of people who view Chumlee, Rick, etc. as celebrities is a little mind boggling. I guess they're just big fans of the show.
-

you mean that you can't agree with obvious evidence.
FACT: the store is busy, but it is not packed and people have no trouble walking around to browse.
Packed is a rock concert, or football game
but hey.. you don't have to agree. It's no skin off my nose

Since you seem incapable of dropping the subject, fine, I'll respond one more time.
The word "packed" is clearly a subjective description. While you, in your infinite wisdom, might believe that as long as you aren't knee deep in someones balls that you have plenty of room, other people might feel differently. While, as I said in the very beginning, I've never been to the store personally, both of my friends who have told me independently that they felt the place was "packed" and there was not much room to walk around comfortably. You can try and provide as much "obvious evidence" to the contrary, but it's all irrelevant. Along those lines, I'm not sure what evidence you actually presented, other than your personal opinion. Not to mention that the number of people inside probably fluctuates a lot depending on the time of day. So maybe when (and if) you were there, it wasn't as crowded.
Now, I'm sure that there is a maximum capacity based on fire code, and since it's a very popular place, I doubt that they let the number of people inside exceed this. This is most likely why they have a line out the door and security regulating the number inside at any given time (that, plus for standard security reasons). But that doesn't mean that the place won't be cramped even within that number. I've been in many restaurants with posted capacities far exceeding what I could reasonable see being comfortably filled. Again, subjective. I've been to bars that were within fire code, and yet it would take you 30 minutes (an exaggeration, but not too far off) to get from one end to the other.
Lastly, regarding the actual 'pawned/sold items' for sale versus the Pawn Stars merchandise, I was obviously exaggerating when I said 90%. However, based on numerous reports, it's been said to be at least 30% of what you see throughout the place. Also, in looking at the video link I posted earlier, everywhere the camera went was more t-shirts, bobble heads, etc. The display cases had some random crap in them. Outside of the walls, I saw nothing resembling what they portrait the store to carry. I'm sure they have a ton of watches and other small items out there, and probably bigger items in the back, from what I've seen and heard, the principle items they sell nowadays are souvenirs to tourists.
Anyway, the whole point of my original post, which you seem to have taken great offense in, is that the actual store (now) looks nothing like what you see on TV. And it looks nothing like what it did before the show, when it was a real pawn store. Now, it's a tourist attraction. That my friend, is an indisputable objective fact.

Oh c'mon. Like they weren't aware of that before they hired her. Surely backgrounds checks were done on her by History Channel, or at least the Pawn Shop. Don't they have to do background checks on stuff they buy from people to verify it's not stolen!?! So they'd definitely do it on employees. They probably fired her for some other reason and this was just an easy way to cover it up, plus this way they get even more publicity out of firing her, if she just wasn't doing her job they wouldn't. Like people have said all these shows are staged, enjoyable, but staged.
-
How would a criminal background check pull up the fact that she posed for naked pictures in the past? That isn't illegal AFAIK.

Well not criminal up just a typical prior job history, or internet search, or she even could have told them, most employers want to know what you've done work wise in the past. From what I've heard it's pretty popular now a days for employers to look people up on the internet, at least that's what I hear, everyone warns about what you post on Facebook, etc because it could come back to bite you. Seems like a simple internet search would have revealed this pretty quickly. I just find it hard to believe she worked for them for a year and they're just now finding out about this. Seems more reasonable to believe they knew all along and she screwed up or they got tired of her and this was their hat trick to get some extra publicity for the show.
-
If you don't have an employment contract - and the vast majority of American workers don't - you don't need a reason to quit a job and your employer doesn't need a reason to fire you. Just say "see ya" or "it's not working out" and the employment relationship immediately ends. An employer doesn't need to "concoct" a reason to fire an employee.
If she appeared on-air, she probably did have a contract and she probably violated one of its terms (maybe a morals clause (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morals_clause)) by omitting her past porn gigs from her resume or application. Since she breached the contract, she was terminated.
-
While the majority of the circumstances are (and will remain) unknown to us, it's probably fairly likely that any comprehensive background check wouldn't have turned up anything. I'm not a porn industry expert, but I assume that the real names are not advertised or made publicly available. And most probably get paid via 1099, versus a normal W2 job which could show up on an employment record search. It also sounds like it was a very limited instance - it wasn't a full time job making hundreds of videos, etc.
So what most likely happened was someone recognized her from the show and it spread from there, eventually getting back to the studio.
We don't even know if she was candid about it with the producers when she got the job, or how that whole process worked (ie: the shop hiring her versus Leftfield Productions versus History Channel or a subsidiary). For all we know, she was truthful and they didn't care. But then when it went public, someone at the History Channel could have had an issue with it and said to can her.
Also, it looks like she posted on her FB page that the porn-past had nothing to do with it, though whether that's true or just a cover up for some NDA reason - who knows.
And yeah, as Mel said, in most cases if you don't have an employment contract, you or the employer can terminate the relationship for any reason at any time, as long as the reason isn't illegal, such as being discriminatory, etc.

Enki, there was nothing in your post until this one that I took any offense in. But clearly when someone points out that you have no fucking idea what you are talking about you don't like it. I have no problem with that. After all, that's for you to deal with. But when you start acting like a complete schmuck to me because I pointed out that you were wrong, that's my business. To you I say what I say to other people: grow up. You don't always have to be right, but there is no question that my initial response to your initial post was correct. You'd be better off in life if you got around to understanding what people are saying, instead of getting your hackles up. I wasn't attacking you, I was correcting some false information you put out there. It isn't the first time we are in this current position because you can't admit a mistake on your part..

If appearing in a Suicide Girls video is a criteria, then most actresses are "porn stars". Didn't know that showing your boobies was the same as doing anal on camera.
Nope, she was fired because somebody published something that embarrassed the producers.

the dope around town is that she got fired because she wouldn't bed down with one of the producers

This is a pawn shop in Las Vegas we're talking about right? Somehow I don't think moral character had anything to do with it, I mean c'mon Corey got busted a while back for a bar fight... the not sleeping with the producer thing seems more realistic. I thought they hired her for what was going to be an entire series dedicated to the night shift, but that never seemed to pan out, and the few times they do night shift clips on the show they are usually pretty lame. We probably won't see those anymore. But I'd venture to say her past was not why she was fired, it was just a nice way to publicize the show with her firing, no matter what she did or wouldn't do, or they just decided to cut the night shift crap. It's all about ratings, and someone disappearing doesn't do anything to the ratings like a saucy "porn firing" does. She was probably hired in the first place because of it! Oh well, none of it's real, but it's amusing entertainment with a lot of interesting stuff, and amusing characters, better than Antiques Roadshow.

Now, go back to your rant.
You are so fucking full of yourself it's ridiculous.
You think you actually "proved" some point, but all you did was give your opinion - over and over again ad nauseum. You keep ranting the same crap about how you are "correct" and how I'm wrong simply because I disagree with you. Let me reiterate the fact that just because I say X and you say Y doesn't mean you are always right. You have provided ZERO factual evidence for your belief, contrary to your constant claims that you have some how proven anything. You can keep going on and on and on about the same thing as much as you want, but if all you do is cite your own posts, that doesn't make them any more factual or credible.
Let's summarize our conversation for the past few days:
Me: That box looks pretty big.
You: No it's not, it's only a medium size box. You have no idea what you are talking about. It's medium, not big because I say it's so and that's a fact.
Me: It looks big to me.
You: No it doesn't. Didn't you see my first post where I proved that it was medium because I said so? You're an idiot. blahablahblahblahblah I'm right and you are wrong.
As I said, the term "packed" is completely subjective. You don't seem to get that, and instead want to keep arguing with me about how I'm wrong, and then act incredulous when I say the same thing back to you. I could give two shits if you find offense to that, because guess what? Your posts were offensive and argumentative too.
Grow up.

Enki.. fuck you. sit with the other children
you are so ignorant that you just don't understand what I wrote and because you are so afraid to admit that you completely exagerated your initial post you instead became a schmuck, and now you became an asshole. Facts are that you commented on something of which you have no experience at all, about a place you have never been to. There was nothing with that by itself, but then someone who knows what he's talking about and is 2 miles way from the place that you know nothing about and would know tons more information about that place than you ever will explains the realities of that place, you can't handle it.. When yu try to tell me what I agree with, you become a schmuck. Pay attention, I don't agree with you. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about and even RDavey told you I was correct, that he was in the store and what I described was correct. and you want to say "we agree to disagree". WRONG. You disagree with 2 people who know and I disagree that you have any idea what you're talking about and I was nice when I said any of that.
But because you can't be wrong, you just keep digging yourself in and being an asshole. You should just admit that you're as asshole now, though you weren't until you started with the balls and full of yourself shit.. I'll tell you the same thing I would tell anyone else who acts like that, which is fuck you.. grow up and stop acting like an asshole. Now stop crying crybaby. you don't want people calling you a schmuck.. watch what you say.. you don't want people calling you an asshole.. watch what you say.. You don't want people to tell you how fucking wrong you are (no matter how nicely they told you), then stop talking about stuff of which you have no fucking idea because you have no fucking experience and trying to act l like you have the word of God. Your words mean nothing if you don't know what you're talking about.
waahhh waaahhh waaah.. LMFAO
now go on to your next rant.. blah blah blah.. Rich is this Rich is that.. Go ahead.. do you want your ba-ba too?
-
Hahah. Man, every post you make is just making you more and more of a hypocrite. Complaining about someone ranting in a huge rant of your own? Calling someone an asshole for expressing an opinion contrary to your own? Crying like a little bitch because someone pointed out a flaw in your argument, and yet calling them a child?
For someone who acts like they are so intelligent, I would have thought you would have realized that two different people could have a differing opinion of what something looks like. But I guess your just an egotistical douche.
I don't know which is more pathetic, you and your whiny little rants talking about how smart and right you are or your sorry excuse for a website.
I didn't realize living 2 miles from something automatically made you a certifiable expert in something. But I guess you certainly are certifiable.
Well, I'm done playing this game of yours. I'll make sure to tell my friends who were at the store how wrong they were about how crowded it was because you said that their subjective opinion is inferior to your own.

Look at all these other idiots who don't know what they're talking about:

The place is packed on the weekend
Small, Crowded, No Pawn Stars around
http://www.yelp.com/biz/gold-and-silver-pawn-shop-las-vegas
It was really really crowded and we barely got a chance to really look at anything.
waaaaaaaay to crowded and third, most important, they don't really have anything.
I don't see going back it was small and too crowded and smelled like armpits.
http://riverrant.blogspot.com/2011/03/pawn-stars.html
Inside, the store was packed like sardines, a notable departure from what you see on tv.
And my personal favorite:

"About a year and a half ago, we actually had to put those up out there and get a doorman because the place was getting too packed and the Fire Department was getting upset with us for going over capacity." -Rick
Man, even the owner of the store doesn't know what he's talking about. You should really drive over (since it's just two miles away) and give him a stern lecture about how he was never, ever, "packed". Because you said so.
Ok, now I'm really done.

I was just teasing Jay. Your comment was fine. It was short, descriptive, and effective in advancing your point. It's just not often that "anal on camera" pops up in a thread started by Bruce. Now maybe a thread started by Ari.......

That is one thing we never auction (Tracy Lords posters) unless it is from the movies she made when she was over 18. We also don't auction anything that shows actual sexual acts. Other than that we auction items that show nudity, and even with an "adult filter" AND putting white boxes over nude images we still get complaints.
There are some people who find ANY degree of nudity offensive, and they go out of their way to find it and complain about it, kind of like these people in this article:

But your right, all over 18, but then i dont think any of her earlier efforts had cinema releases anyway. I could be wrong.

Actually it is in most states, but easily bought. I have zero interest, in fact watching men rooting women is quite off putting, and more so men rooting men. I dont like penises. Lesbian porn would be less disgusting, but again, dont see the point. I suppose its like wayching sports, some people like it, some dont, some like to do it, but not watch it.

Bruce, it was never my intent to suggest that you were a porn dealer. And don't forget that Jenna Jameson was in Zombie Strippers which you auctioned off. So I am not sure why you could not have a faceoff.

My wife and I rented a Traci Lords video once. The story broke the very next day, and suddenly there we are in posession of kiddie porn! We try to return it to the store, and the owner treats it like we just deposited a bag of burning dog poop on his counter. "I don't want that" I disposed of everything in the store and gave the police my rental records.
We then called the local police station. "Yes, we have a record that you possess this, but we don't have direct evidence. If you bring it here, we will have to arrest you for possession."
By this point, we weren't feeling especially randy anymore, and we were hardened criminals to boot. Here we are in possession of the worst sort of perverted trash that was ever made, even though it seemed rather innocent just 24 hours earlier. We couldn't turn it in. We couldn't burn it (local laws).
We ended up giving it to a friend who didn't care, thus making ourselves traffickers in kiddie porn to boot.
Never told this story. Hopefully the statute of limitations is over.

As a former Vegas local (I miss living in Vegas) my girl and I went down to the store when the show started to get popular. They were filming something in the parking lot so all the guys were there. My fiancé wanted her picture taken with them ( I know, lame) and Rick and chum lee were nice enough to take time out to do that. The store was busy but you can definitely get in and browse around. The shop seemed a lot smaller to me in person then it does on tv, just your typical pawn shop. They have a little area in the back where they sell the t-shirts and souvenirs. The old man was actually sitting back there doing autographs or something. The rest of the shop seems like a normal pawnshop with the jewelry, tools, electronics, etc. with a handful of unique items you see on the show. They obviously clear all the people out of the shop when they shoot inside. It's funny, for a number of years I was in a fantasy football league with their sports memorabilia "expert" that they call in from time to time. He owns a sports card shop in town and we would go there every year for our draft. Small world.

I dont know where to mention this but I started watching tv in the past week after a longgg hiatus like years.
In the past days American Pickers, Hardcore Pawn, Pawn Stars show, well, they were quite good. I stooped and watched a back to back episode today of The Bachelor (yeah laugh) but I liked it, the cat fights :o and some hot girls wearing not much.
What are all the crazy USA programs on tv though! Today I watched:
- My Crazy Obsession feature an elderly couple with a sex toy collection (in total worth more $ than the house, countless dolls they bathed and whatevered), dressing them up and photographing them around town like one as a police officer and propped up outside a police station to photograph till the cop pulled up with siren angry, and a old guy who thought he was the president of USA and built himself an oval office replica in his house and a car with flags like JFK he drove in with his family and picked his kids up from school in.
- Operation Repo, I mean WTF... that big woman... anyway in 2 repros insane people pulled huge knives and were going crazy about there car being taken, and another came out of building from fleecing business for charity donations during the repro then tried to bribe the repro guy with that charity money...
- Gattor Boys and also Swamp People annoying the hell out of alligators or crocs and swimming in creeks with next to no visibility with a noose to grab them when face to face with the croc
- Rat B*stards... Ive never seen such big rats, like pigs with buck teeth, these guys were getting $10 a head to shoot them in swamps with guns that Rambo would have been proud of. There they were uncovering some foliage then rat-a-tat-tat it was like world war 3 sounding like machine gun fire shoot these things about 50 of them bouncing and exploding.
- Hoarders, my g*d why is there food slops on the floor and their rooms mountains of junk with no where to walk.
- Turtle man + now Jail is on... Jeez those people are not the full quid turning up at that police station
The past days I have seen even more US shows. What happened to the Brady Bunch? I think I've seen too much, but some could be compulsive viewing (like American Pickers). Last night I watched a doco show about a guy a year or two ago who was a army vet I think, collected 50 tigers, lions... killed himself opened the cages and let them escape, probably hoping they go into the community. That was interesting, though I remember it in the news
So, I realised, there are more nut jobs out there, than me collecting these posters.
-
Yes, as with aliens receiving television signals from earth and judging is from the madness that is American television, is non Americans can also stare dumbfounded at the biggest freak show in history.
Btw I watched bachelor also, I have some real questions about that show.
He has such trouble choosing which will be his WIFE, he has chemistry for multiples, maybe I'm fussy, but I've never been in a position where I've thought, which one? (Yeah yeah hold the jokes, I've had girls fighting over me before)
You know or you don't, and if you don't, then it's not there.
Maybe I'm old fashioned. If he thought ID LIKE TO ROOT THEM ALL, I understand. But it's like he "is in live" with most of them. And HOW is it that THEY ALL ARE IN LOVE WITH HIM?
Makes no sense, I assume the women just want to WIN. And the bloke enjoys kissing and possibly rooting as many as he can.
But it's tv at it's worst, which means, I can't look away, so it's not really the worst, that would be the weather, which makes no sense, unless your a fisherman, or something or their is a cyclone, why do you need to know the weather? LOOK OUTSIDE IDIOT.
And then they tell you what the temp was that day... DID YOU SLEEP ALL DAY? And if you did. WHY DO YOU CARE?
Yah weather should be axed from tv.
Also sport is NOT news, unless is a drug scandal or something. Which team wins and scores isn't news, it can have it's own snow like entertainment "news" which isn't news either, they are both entertainment.
Do we get what happened to Romeo and Juliette on the news? No.
Fuck it.
Oh that's right, pawn stars, it's packed but not crammed.

Uh you guys know the Bachelor is nut-shrinking show right?
I put it on for the wife, let her estrogen start flowing, make sure she is suitably riled up by all the drama and cat fighting - and then strategically escape to the man cave ;)

That goes for women too. Some people can be '''in live'' for more than one person. Personally I envy that, more fun for them, they say the more the merrier. And doubt all women are ''in live'' with him. He is a triple A. AAA++++ But makes great tv.
Speaking of which, I prefer the sister programme, where she has to pick him but turns out he could be gay. I always go for the wrong one. Nearly all the most handsome, the ''smell-delicious-I-will- bite-you-for- good" looking guy turns out to be the gay one...dammit.
My favourite shows are the ''buy it now'' channels. I cannot believe the amount of rubbish they sell. Yes, fab jumper, for your loved one, "with pink rabbits"- "oh yeah, that will cheer him up". "Oh yes, look, the quality, it is outstanding". " uhmm quality, ALL 100% POLYESTER UHMMM". "LOOK, and it is sooooo cheap, so good.".. " YES, YES, $67.00" "Oh yes I am liking the rabbit". "Oh yes, rabbit is good" "oh, YES, YES, oh". JUMPER SOLD. RABBIT NOT INCLUDED.
And leave the weather alone. What's the fuss EH? You growing chillis now. Need to keep an eye on weather man and the moon. Not on those Marlene Dietrich's legs

Steve, I was at the house of someone who was on the show Hoarders back in November. it was a real horror story. He had died 2 month earlier. When he was on Hoarders, they showed pictures of his full house that had so much paper in it, that he was literally living in the top 3 feet above the piles. When he died, the family started dumping stuff in the front yard - a pile 30 feet long & 3 feet high - to get stuff they wanted. By the time I was called in, 99.9% of everything was gone, but I still filled up the truck shown in the picture below. What was discarded by Hoarders and by the family was a crime against history. My friend (who was his friend) who called me to come up got comics & comic art, I got Big Little Books (more than ever seen in one spot), newspaper bound volumes as early as 1910, magazines, sheet music & loads of other material including newspaper from as early as 1800. The guy even had material stored on the roof under the eaves - it was insane! I could go on and on but I'll leave with just this, if everything had been kept for retrieval, I'd say they threw out well over a million $ worth of material.. and that.. was a crime.

I dont know where to mention this but I started watching tv in the past week after a longgg hiatus like years.
In the past days American Pickers, Hardcore Pawn, Pawn Stars show, well, they were quite good. I stooped and watched a back to back episode today of The Bachelor (yeah laugh) but I liked it, the cat fights :o and some hot girls wearing not much.
What are all the crazy USA programs on tv though! Today I watched:
- My Crazy Obsession feature an elderly couple with a sex toy collection (in total worth more $ than the house, countless dolls they bathed and whatevered), dressing them up and photographing them around town like one as a police officer and propped up outside a police station to photograph till the cop pulled up with siren angry, and a old guy who thought he was the president of USA and built himself an oval office replica in his house and a car with flags like JFK he drove in with his family and picked his kids up from school in.
- Operation Repo, I mean WTF... that big woman... anyway in 2 repros insane people pulled huge knives and were going crazy about there car being taken, and another came out of building from fleecing business for charity donations during the repro then tried to bribe the repro guy with that charity money...
- Gattor Boys and also Swamp People annoying the hell out of alligators or crocs and swimming in creeks with next to no visibility with a noose to grab them when face to face with the croc
- Rat B*stards... Ive never seen such big rats, like pigs with buck teeth, these guys were getting $10 a head to shoot them in swamps with guns that Rambo would have been proud of. There they were uncovering some foliage then rat-a-tat-tat it was like world war 3 sounding like machine gun fire shoot these things about 50 of them bouncing and exploding.
- Hoarders, my g*d why is there food slops on the floor and their rooms mountains of junk with no where to walk.
- Turtle man + now Jail is on... Jeez those people are not the full quid turning up at that police station
The past days I have seen even more US shows. What happened to the Brady Bunch? I think I've seen too much, but some could be compulsive viewing (like American Pickers). Last night I watched a doco show about a guy a year or two ago who was a army vet I think, collected 50 tigers, lions... killed himself opened the cages and let them escape, probably hoping they go into the community. That was interesting, though I remember it in the news
So, I realised, there are more nut jobs out there, than me collecting these posters.
Steve.. a number of those shows are the ones i will flip on, too.. American Pickers.... the places and stuff they trip across is amazing, let alone that they are driving all over the country.
Pawn Stars--scripted but still has its moments.
Operation Repo.. a silly, scripted, re-enacted show, and WTF with that large woman with the blonde hair, black painted eyebrows and piercings.. eek! Notice, too, how no one EVER gets hurt, with all of the "anger" that is exemplified there?
Same with shows like Hardcore Pawn, which is shot in Detroit. Seems a bit more candid but it is all pre-planned with the wacky customers, outbursts, etc.
I've been a Hoarders watcher since season 1. A fascinating look into the minds of people who not only hoard, but like you said, live in filth, squalor, trash, old, rotting food etc, on top of what might be truly collectible. I recall one show in which the woman was a hoarder, BUT she hoarded and collected things of true value. She ended up making quite a bit of cash, for collections of various sorts that she finally decided to sell.

I saw Steve Carell on Leno tonight. During the interview he said that he is gonna be on an episode of Pawnstars. I guess someone brings in a piece of movie memorabilia from "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" and they call him in to authenticate it.

I guess he's the best the show could get. :P

beats american pickers though, the taller skinnier one needs to be smacked in the face with a pick axe.
For sure. Mike is totally annoying ~~~ Big time.
Tho an axe does sound a bit harsh.. and painful, too. devil 2

what are they doing since Chumley was arrested I wonder...
-
Hello everyone.
I will be on the show several times next year in 2017 authenticating and appraising posters for the shop. I do not know yet exactly when the episodes will be shown. After they air I'll be glad to try and answer any questions.
Happy holidays :)

Pickers called me up a few weeks back to do an appraisal by phone for the guys who were looking at some stuff at that moment. (political drawings)

Congratulations on scoring that gig. Sounds like it will be interesting.

Will keep a look out for you when the show airs in the U.K.

Any idea when this episode will air?

I was looking through some old photos in my phone, and saw this shot of my TV, from an episode of Pawn Stars in October, 2016.
A guy brought in a framed Revenge of the Jedi, that had a lot of waves/ripples throughout it. You can see it in the back of this screenshot. He was asking more than the pawn stars were willing to pay, and they did not make a deal.

Kinda surprising that they got the info. that messed up, eh?
PS: for all the aspiring poster studs who don't know about the Revenge of the Jedi poster:

That's one rippled and way poster there.
Did they determine that it was a genuine copy?
-
Yeah, the rippling throughout it is bad. I'm surprised they didn't say anything about that on the show.
I vaguely recall the pawn stars calling one of their experts to authenticate it, and he and the pawn guys seemed to be confident that it's an original.
-
Yea, it is interesting that the rippling wasnt commented on. That would be the first thing noticed, even from a distance.

Maybe the ripples weren't real, either. Added in post=production. ;D
