The Pawn Stars show has been demonstrated many times over to be fake...I'm sure this particular transaction never took place. The whole scene with the Woodstock The Who Contract was also completely faked...at least I hope so. Is there any pawn shop in the world that would call in an expert and have an item evaluated right in front of the customer?
Even though the show is faked I still like watching it just to see what cool items they're going to show...a few weeks ago a lady brought in a box full of American League baseball passes from 25 consecutive years...I think Rick offered her $1,000 and she declined. Those passes were all pristine with the leather cases...I noted one even had a 1939 Centennial schedule that was very cool.
