The show is great. One of the original episodes from season 1 had a person trying to sell a '51 signed Yankee ball. While I remember the ball appearing to be authentic, the seller wanted some huge amount (like 20k or something)

I can't get enough of this show. Actually, I just bought the first season on DVD via eBay.
The Rose cards were interesting, but I really liked the "helicopter" Rick purchased for $10,000. American Pickers is a pretty neat show as well. Last edited by asoriano; 02-14-2010 at 03:36 PM.

It's pretty
addictive. I like Pawn Stars more than Pickers though.

I had high hopes when I saw previews for American Pickers, but I just don't find those two guys nearly as likeable as the guys in Pawn Stars. In fact, after watching a few shows, I'm close to really not liking them.
BTW, a friend visited the Pawn Stars shop not too long ago when she was in Las Vegas and had a picture taken with the old man. She said she was very surprised how much smaller the shop is in real life as opposed to how it appears on the show.

The guy on Pawn Stars finding out his gun was a reproduction was the best reaction ever.

What stuck out to me was the way the owner handled these "valuable" cards, shuffling them like he about to flip them against a wall, and the "They've been sitting in my garage for years" line. Anybody else store their cards in the garage? In an empty paint can maybe?

I really dislike the guys from Pickers as well. They are obviously taking advantage of the elderly. Basically forcing themselves into peoples houses, barns, etc. and offering pennies on the dollar for antiques. They never disclose what they think something is worth. Pure scum.
On the other hand, the Pawn Star guys always have the person trying to sell something to them present when they bring in an expert to place a value on a piece. Both parties get to hear what a piece might be valued at. That is the way to do it.
