That's a magnifying glass? Thought it was a tennis racket....

Might as well be a tennis racket. He'll, he'd get the same results looking through a waffle iron.

I did see Pawn Stars last night. What a brilliant marketing move on PSA's behalf with the product placement. They not only were on the Goudey's slabs but they were on the Marilyn Monroe letter with PSA/DNA. Then they had the star of the show saying how they were the most reputable in the business so the signatures were beyond question real.

I watch Pawn Stars from time to time, but I understand it is staged. How many people, who do not understand it is staged, do you think hit the PSA website yesterday evening during or after the airing? Brilliant marketing on PSA's behalf.

PSA and Pawn Stars have been in bed together since last year, yet this is the first real on air commercial I caught for PSA.

PSA is actually represented quite a bit on the show, usually as it relates to autograph authentication though. There is a rep who is on there all the time doing the autograph authentication (can't remember his name), so it wasn't the first PSA "commercial" by any means. The show itself (not just the Harrisons) is not really up on Sports related items, which might be why one of the questions' answers regarding Super Bowl III was the Baltimore "Ravens".

All "reality" TV is staged, going back well before MTV's "The Real World", where the "kids" lived in conditions NOTHING like the "real" world. But I enjoy Pawn Stars (and a few others, especially the Vegas based ones) because I have a wide variety of interests and love to see the items that come up, as well as the human nature aspect of peoples' thoughts as to what their things are "worth" when it meets reality.
