Pawn Stars

[Joe Hunter]

Yes, I did see the episode last night with the Ali memorabilia. I thought the price the 'stars paid for the items was fair, given the fact they were not authenticated. The crash in cards Rick refererenced was the drop in value of modern cards from their peak in the early '90's. (Big drop, in many cases.)

Yeah, all the cards were very common overproduced cards.

The Poster was a commonly reprinted closed circuit poster.

As for the autographs, I stay far away from Ali stuff unless I know exactly where it came from. His autograph is common but the bad stuff still outnumbers the good stuff many, many times over...........and some versions of his sig are very easy for a forger to make look pretty convincing, especially a sharpie example.

The record was interesting but probably ruined by a questionable signature.

The other unsigned stuff was common.

I would have personally avoided the collection altogether. I will not say outright the autographs were bad.........but I didn't feel good about them either.

The guy in the show, did look familiar to me.
