Pawn Stars (2009–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - The Eagle Has Landed - full transcript

- THIS IS A 1973 CJ-5.

IDEA WAS TO RESTORE IT.

- WORK IN PROGRESS.

I DON'T WANT TO GET
STUCK INTO A MONEY PIT.

- I'VE GOT SOME OLD NASA
PHOTOGRAPHS AND NEGATIVES.

- THESE ARE AMAZING.

IF THESE ARE AUTHENTIC
NEGATIVES FROM NASA,

THE STARS ARE THE LIMIT.

AN 1861 DOUBLE EAGLE.

- WE MIGHT HAVE THE
HOLY GRAIL OF COINS HERE.

- THERE'S A VARIANT OF THIS COIN



THAT'S WORTH RIGHT
AROUND $1/4 MILLION.

- REALLY?

- I'M RICK HARRISON, AND
THIS IS MY PAWN SHOP.

I WORK HERE WITH MY OLD
MAN AND MY SON, BIG HOSS.

EVERYTHING IN HERE
HAS A STORY AND A PRICE.

ONE THING I'VE
LEARNED AFTER 21 YEARS,

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS
GONNA COME THROUGH THAT DOOR.

- HEY, HOW YOU DOING?
- I'M DOING GREAT.

- ANOTHER SLOT MACHINE.

RICK, WHY ARE WE ALWAYS
GETTING SLOT MACHINES IN HERE?

- WHY DO YOU THINK, CHUM?

WHERE DO WE LIVE?

- NEVADA.

- AND WHAT'S SPECIAL
ABOUT NEVADA?



- THERE'S NO STATE TAX.

- I CAME TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY
TO SELL MY 1920 GAMING DEVICE.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS
MACHINE, THE SIMPLICITY OF IT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE $1,000
FOR THE MACHINE,

AND I'D PROBABLY
SAY MY MINIMUM'S $600.

- SO WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

- THIS ACTUALLY CAME
OUT OF THE OLDEST

CONTINUALLY RUNNING
PHARMACY IN GOLDEN, COLORADO.

- THIS IS THE COOLEST SLOT
MACHINE I'VE EVER SEEN.

- CHUM, IN COLORADO,
GAMBLING WAS ILLEGAL,

SO IF THIS WAS A SLOT
MACHINE, IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

THEY'D HAVE TOKENS THAT
WERE THE EXACT SAME SIZE

AS A PENNY, BY THE WAY.

BASICALLY WHAT THEY DID
IS, YOU WENT INTO A PLACE.

YOU BOUGHT SOME TOKENS.

YOU PUT THEM IN THE MACHINE,
AND IT TOLD YOUR FORTUNE.

AND SOMETIMES TOKENS
FELL OUT THE BOTTOM OF IT.

YOU WOULD HAND THESE TOKENS
OVER TO THE GUY BEHIND THE COUNTER,

AND HE WOULD GIVE
YOU CASH FOR THEM.

IT WAS JUST DIFFERENT WAYS
OF GETTING AROUND GAMING LAWS.

THIS THING REALLY REPRESENTS
THE SPIRIT OF THE 1920s.

IT WAS PROHIBITION ERA,

AND THERE WAS ANTIGAMBLING
LAWS EVERYWHERE.

BUT THERE WERE ALSO
ALL KINDS OF LOOPHOLES,

AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE
PEOPLE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THEM.

LET ME OPEN IT UP.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT MAJOR
PARTS MISSING INSIDE.

ORIGINALLY THERE WAS A
MECHANISM TO PAY OUT COINS.

AND THEN THEY LATER
CONVERTED IT TO GUMBALLS.

- RIGHT.

- SO THEY TOOK OUT
THE PAY MECHANISM.

THEN THEY TOOK OUT
THE GUMBALL MECHANISM.

THINK IT'S BEEN RECASED TOO.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS
THE ORIGINAL WOOD ON IT.

IT'S NOT.

SO BASICALLY WHAT YOU HAVE HERE

IS THE FRONT OF A SLOT MACHINE
AND PART OF THE MECHANISM.

THIS THING IS REALLY NEAT,

BUT AT SOME POINT,
SOMEONE DECIDED TO GUT IT

AND TAKE OUT MOST
OF ITS ORIGINAL PARTS.

IT'S STILL WORTH
MONEY, JUST LESS MONEY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR IT?

- IT WAS PURCHASED FOR $600.

- IF SOMEBODY'S REALLY
INTO THE GAMING HISTORY,

IT'S A GREAT PIECE.

- PEOPLE WHO BUY THESE THINGS,

THEY BUY THEM BECAUSE
THEY COLLECT SLOT MACHINES.

- RIGHT.

- AND IF THEY BUY THIS THING,

THEY'RE BUYING PART
OF A SLOT MACHINE.

- I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL GET YOU OUT OF IT.

I'LL GIVE YOU THE $600.

I MEAN, BECAUSE IF
THIS THING WAS ORIGINAL

AND HAD ALL OF ITS PARTS,

IT'D BE WORTH,
LIKE, $4,000 OR $5,000.

- YEAH. THANKS A LOT.

- BUT IT'S NOT ALL THERE.

- CAN I GET UP TO ABOUT...

- NO, I WILL GIVE YOU
600 BUCKS FOR IT.

THAT IS IT.

- I'LL TAKE IT.
- OKAY.

CHUM, YOU WANT TO
WRITE THIS GUY UP?

- CHUM, THANKS.
- MEET YOU RIGHT OVER THERE.

- RIGHT-O.

I'M HAPPY TO GET
BACK WHAT I INVESTED.

THE $600 I MADE TODAY
IS GONNA BE REINVESTED

PROBABLY INTO ONE
OF MY OLDER CARS,

AND IT'S WORTHWHILE.

- EARLIER TODAY, WE GOT A
CALL ABOUT A 1970s CJ JEEP,

SO ME AND THE OLD MAN ARE
ON OUR WAY TO GO CHECK IT OUT.

HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?

- PRETTY GOOD. HOW ARE YOU GUYS?

- I'M ASSUMING THIS IS IT?
- YUP, THAT'S IT.

SEE YOU GOT THE "OH,
" BAR IN THERE STILL.

I CALLED THE GUYS
FROM THE PAWN SHOP

TO SEE IF THEY'D BE INTERESTED
IN BUYING MY 1973 CJ-5.

I BOUGHT IT ONLINE
ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO.

IDEA WAS TO RESTORE IT,

BUT I THINK IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS
I'M NEVER GONNA FINISH IT,

SO IT'S TIME TO SELL IT.

- TELL ME EVERYTHING
YOU CAN ABOUT IT.

- I ALWAYS WANTED A JEEP,
AND I GOT IT FOR A GOOD PRICE

BECAUSE IT WAS
IN VERY BAD SHAPE.

I THREW THE BODY AWAY.

SO IT'S A FIBERGLASS
TUB, HOOD, AND FENDERS.

- MM-HMM.

- I HAD IT ALL THE WAY OFF,
OF COURSE, TO THE FRAME,

AND I REBUILT THE ENGINE
AND THE TRANSMISSION.

I PUT NEW LEAF SPRINGS
ON IT ALL THE WAY AROUND,

A NEW GAS TANK.

- HOW COME YOU
NEVER FINISHED IT?

- WELL, LOSE INTEREST IN IT.

- OKAY.
- NEVER SEEM TO HAVE ANY TIME.

- YEAH, WELCOME TO THE CLUB.

JEEPS ARE GREAT.

THEY'RE WHAT EVERYBODY
IN THE MILITARY DROVE

BACK IN THE DAY.

THEY WERE KNOWN TO
BE AS TOUGH AS NAILS.

- COULD YOU START
IT UP FOR ME, MAN?

- YEAH.

- FIRED RIGHT UP, DIDN'T IT?

I MEAN, THE ENGINE SOUNDS GREAT.

THERE'S NO... IT'S NOT
RATTLING AROUND IN THERE.

- YOU PUT SOME WORK INTO IT.

I'LL SAY THAT FOR A FACT.

THIS THING LOOKS TO BE
ABOUT HALFWAY DONE TO ME,

BUT IT STILL NEEDS
A LOT OF WORK.

I DON'T MIND SPENDING THE MONEY,

BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET
STUCK INTO A MONEY PIT.

WHAT YOU TRYING TO DO, GUY?
- I WAS JUST TRYING TO SELL IT.

- HOW MUCH YOU
LOOKING TO GET OUT OF IT?

- $2,500.

- $2,500.

- I THINK IT'S WORTH THAT

BECAUSE THE BODY IS BRAND-NEW
AND THE MOTOR HAS NO TIME ON IT.

- THE PROBLEM IS, COREY,
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S
GONNA COST TO FINISH IT UP.

- I GOT TO SAY, MAN,

MY COMFORT LEVEL'S
AROUND 1,500 BUCKS.

- YEAH.

CAN I GET $2,000 OUT OF IT?

- I WISH I COULD, MAN.

I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT
OF WORK HERE, BUDDY.

- YEAH, BUT, YOU KNOW,

THE PARTS ALONE ARE
WORTH MORE THAN THAT.

- I'LL DO $1,800.

- HOW ABOUT $1,900?

- $1,800 IF YOU WANT IT, MAN.
THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO.

EVERY TIME WE BUY
A CAR, THERE'S A RISK.

IF ONE THING GOES WRONG,
WE COULD LOSE EVERYTHING,

SO WE HAVE TO PROTECT
OURSELVES BY BUYING LOW.

IT'S ALL ABOUT LIMITING ANY
POSSIBILITY OF GETTING BURNED.

- ALL RIGHT, $1,800.

- ALL RIGHT, MY MAN, DEAL.

- I'M KIND OF SAD THAT
I'VE GOTTEN RID OF IT,

BECAUSE IT IS A FUN LITTLE JEEP,

AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
GREAT HAD I FINISHED IT,

AND I'LL MISS IT,
BUT I'LL GET OVER IT.

- MORNING, GENTLEMEN.
- HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?

- GOOD, I'M JON. I'M A
LOCAL BAIL BONDSMAN.

I HAD A GUY SKIP OUT
ON ME ON A $50,000 BAIL,

AND I WAS GONNA TRY AND SEE

WHAT I CAN GET OUT OF
THIS TO PAY THE BOND.

- SO HE SKIPPED ON YOU, HUH?

- YES, SIR. IT'S NO
LAUGHING MATTER.

- YEAH, LIFE IS A
BITCH SOMETIMES.

- I DECIDED TO COME TO
THE PAWN SHOP TODAY

TO SELL MY RARE 1861
DOUBLE EAGLE $20 GOLD PIECE.

I TOOK THIS COIN FOR COLLATERAL
AGAINST THE GUY SKIPPING COURT,

AND HE DID SKIP COURT.

NOW I GOT TO PAY 50,000 BUCKS.

SO I'M HOPING IT'LL MAKE A DENT

IN THE $50,000 THAT
I OWE ON THIS BOND.

- SO DO YOU KNOW
MUCH ABOUT THE COIN?

, I THOUGHT IT WAS
PRETTY GOOD CONDITION,

BUT I WAS HOPING
YOU COULD TELL ME.

- WAS THIS GRADED AT ONE TIME?
- NO, I'VE NEVER HAD IT GRADED.

- YOU MIND IF I PULL
THIS OUT OF THE PLASTIC?

'CAUSE IT'S NOT GRADED,

DOESN'T REALLY MATTER
PULLING THIS ONE OUT.

- JUST DON'T DROP IT.

- PUT THAT ON MY
LITTLE SAFETY PAD.

- APPRECIATE IT.
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

- HOW'S IT LOOKING, SON?

- I MEAN, IT'S IN PRETTY
DAMN GOOD SHAPE.

THE U.S. MINT STARTED
MAKING THESE COINS IN 1849,

AND THEY CONTINUED TO
MAKE THEM FOR OVER 80 YEARS,

BUT THERE WERE DESIGN
CHANGES ALONG THE WAY,

AND THIS APPEARS TO BE
THE ORIGINAL LIBERTY HEAD.

AND IT WAS A BIG DEAL TO
HAVE ONE OF THESE BACK THEN,

BECAUSE $20 WAS A TON OF MONEY.

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU
ABOUT THIS COIN IS,

IT APPEARS TO BE REAL.

THIS IS UNCIRCULATED,
MINT STATE.

THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE COIN.

THE REASON THIS ONE IS
WORTH SO MUCH MONEY

IS BECAUSE THIS WAS A
REALLY LOW MINTAGE YEAR.

THERE'S 11 DIFFERENT
GRADES OF MINT STATE,

FROM MS60 TO MS70.

THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A 61 AND A 63

IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN $10,000 AND $40,000.

THERE'S ALSO A
VARIANT OF THIS COIN

THAT'S WORTH RIGHT AROUND
$1/4 MILLION IN THIS SHAPE.

- REALLY?

- RICK, WE MIGHT HAVE THE
HOLY GRAIL OF COINS HERE.

- I LIKE THAT. I
LIKE THAT A LOT.

- THERE'S A POSSIBILITY.

I'D LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT

WHO JUST KNOWS A
LITTLE BIT MORE THAN ME.

SO DO YOU MIND HANGING
OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT,

AND I GET SOMEBODY DOWN HERE?

- SURE, GREAT. THANK
YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

- BE RIGHT BACK.

- BEING A BONDSMAN'S ALL
ABOUT MAKING CASH MONEY, MAN.

I'M HOPING THIS EXPERT COMES IN,

TELLS ME THIS COIN'S
WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.

- I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A JEEP GUY.

BUT YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO BE MY JEEP GUY.

- EARLIER TODAY, A BAIL
BONDSMAN BROUGHT IN

A RARE DOUBLE
EAGLE LIBERTY COIN,

BUT IF IT'S THE HOLY GRAIL
VERSION OF THESE THINGS,

WE'RE TALKING $1/4 MILLION.

SO I CALLED IN MY BUDDY
ANDREW, WHO'S AN EXPERT IN COINS,

TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

- I'M THE OWNER OF
AMERICAN COIN EXPRESS.

I'M AN AVID COLLECTOR
AND LOVER OF COINS.

I'VE BEEN DOING IT
ALL MY ADULT LIFE.

EVERY COIN IS UNIQUE.

IT'S LIKE A FINGERPRINT.

OKAY, A $20 LIB.

WHEN WE HAD THE 1849 GOLD RUSH,

AMERICA HAD A
SUBSTANTIAL GOLD SUPPLY.

THEY STARTED ISSUING
THE $20 GOLD PIECE.

UP TILL THEN, THEY ONLY
HAD THE $10 GOLD PIECE.

SO THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT A
DOUBLE EAGLE VERSUS AN EAGLE,

WHICH WAS A $10 GOLD PIECE.

THEY MADE ONE PATTERN IN
1849, THE YEAR OF THE GOLD RUSH,

AND THAT'S SITTING IN
THE SMITHSONIAN TODAY

AND BASICALLY PRICELESS.

AND THEN IN 1850,

THEY STARTED ISSUING THE
$20 GOLD PIECE, THE LIBERTY.

IT WAS THE
HIGHEST-DENOMINATION GOLD

PEOPLE HAD OUT THERE, $20.

WHAT ARE YOUR QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS COIN

THAT YOU WOULD
LIKE ME TO EVALUATE?

- I NEED TO KNOW
THE GRADE ON IT,

AND I KNOW THERE'S A
VARIANT OF THIS YEAR

THAT'S SUPER RARE AND
WORTH $1/4 MILLION IN THIS SHAPE,

SO TAKE A LOOK.

- OKAY.

THE VARIANT IS
DISTINGUISHABLE BY THE BACK.

IT WAS A DESIGN WHICH
WAS NOT ACCEPTED,

BUT SOME OF THEM
WERE ISSUED AS PATTERNS.

THERE'S LESS OF THEM, AND
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE COIN RARE.

- OKAY, SO IS THIS IT?

- LOOK ON THE REVERSE,

AND THAT'S HOW YOU CAN
TELL, WITH THE TALL LETTERS

AND THE SHIELD VARIATION
AND THE LARGER WINGSPAN.

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU
DO NOT HAVE HERE.

- OH!
- I AM SORRY.

- OKAY.

WHAT GRADE DO YOU THINK IT IS?

- LET ME TAKE A GOOD
LOOK AT IT AND TELL YOU.

- IT WAS A LONG SHOT THAT
THIS WAS THE $1/4 MILLION COIN,

BUT IT'S STILL RARE,
AND IT'S STILL VALUABLE.

BUT BEFORE I CAN MAKE AN OFFER,

I STILL HAVE TO HAVE ITS
CONDITION AND GRADE DETERMINED.

WE COULD BE TALKING
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

OR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

LOOKS VERY
HIGH-GRADE OFF THE CUFF,

VERY, VERY MINOR
SCRATCHES ON THE WHOLE COIN,

GOOD BODY, VERY SLIGHT WEAR.

THIS DEFINITELY IS A...

MS63 OR BETTER COIN,

WHICH WOULD MINIMALLY
BE WORTH $40,000.

- OKAY. THANKS A LOT, ANDREW.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
- I'M VERY HAPPY.

THIS COIN'S WORTH
A LOT OF MONEY.

- SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
DO WITH IT, PAWN IT OR SELL IT?

- SELL IT.
- HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR IT?

- YOU HEARD THE MAN, 40 GRAND.

- UH, 40 GRAND IS
NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

- MM-HMM.

- I'M THINKING
MORE LIKE 30 GRAND,

AND THAT'S CASH.

- WELL, HE SAID IT
WAS WORTH $40,000,

AND I DEFINITELY NEED THE MONEY.

HOW ABOUT $35,000?

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA
MAKE 5 GRAND OFF IT.

- I'M NOT NECESSARILY
GONNA MAKE 5 GRAND.

I PLAN ON MAKING 5 GRAND.

PLANS DON'T ALWAYS
COME OUT AS PLANNED.

SO HOW ABOUT $33,000?

- $34,000, YOU GOT A DEAL.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- AH, GO FOR IT. WHAT THE HELL.

- ALL RIGHT, $34,000.
- FANTASTIC.

- ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO
WRITE THIS THING UP.

- JUST MADE $34,000.
I'M VERY HAPPY.

I HAVE TO PAY A
$50,000 BOND WITH IT.

BUT IT'S PRETTY GOOD. IT'S
BETTER THAN I EXPECTED.

- THE OTHER DAY, WE BOUGHT
A 1973 JEEP FOR 1,800 BUCKS.

THE THING RUNS, BUT THE
BODY STILL NEEDS SOME WORK,

SO WE'RE BRINGING
IT TO MY BUDDY DANNY

TO SEE IF HE COULD
DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

- WHAT'S UP, GENTLEMEN?
WHAT HAVE WE GOT, MAN?

- WELL, I KNOW
YOU'RE NOT A JEEP GUY.

- TRUE.

- BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO BE MY JEEP GUY THIS TIME.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I CAN DO IT. WE CAN DO JEEPS.

I OWN COUNT'S KUSTOMS
RIGHT HERE IN LAS VEGAS,

WHERE WE BUILD WICKED,
WICKED CHOPPERS,

CRAZY HOT RODS,

AND WORK ON PEOPLE'S
COOL PROJECTS.

WHAT YEAR IS IT?
- '73.

- '73, ALL RIGHT.

THE OLD JEEPS, MAN,

THEY WERE JUST TOUGH, RUGGED,

NOT A LOT OF AMENITIES,
NOT A LOT OF LUXURY,

BUT THEY'D GO ANYWHERE
AND DO ANYTHING.

THIS ONE'S NICE.

I MEAN, SOMEBODY OBVIOUSLY
PUT A BRAND-NEW BODY ON IT,

AND THIS IS A REALLY NICE BODY.

USUALLY, YOU KNOW, A
FIBERGLASS BODY IS KIND OF FLIMSY,

BUT THIS ONE IS REALLY THICK,

SO THIS IS GONNA BE A
PLEASURE TO WORK ON.

- I'M THINKING WHAT
WE DO WITH IT IS,

WE DO, LIKE, A CAMO BUT
NOT A SILLY, CHEESY CAMO.

MAYBE WE THROW SOME
SPEAKERS BACK HERE.

- COREY, JUST FIX IT UP BASIC.

PAINT IT JET BLACK.

INDOOR, OUTDOOR CARPET.

NOT JET BLACK, NOT CAMO,

BUT LET'S DO, LIKE,
AN ARMY GREEN ON IT.

- OKAY.
- YEAH, NOW, THAT'S...

- IS THAT COOL?
- THAT'LL WORK.

- MAYBE WE'LL DO A LITTLE
ARMY TOUCHES TO HIM

THAT HAVE SOME
COOL-GUY FLAVOR TO THEM.

- ALL RIGHT.
- THAT WOULD LOOK NICE, MAN.

- YEAH.

- HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY
FOR IT? WHAT ARE YOU INTO IT?

- $1,800.

- OKAY, THERE'S A LOT HERE,

AND SO WE'LL SEE
WHAT ALL IS MISSING,

AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT
WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE.

- GIVE ME AN IDEA OF
WHAT WE'RE TALKING.

- WELL, COREY, YOU SAID IT
BEST AT FIRST THAT, YOU KNOW,

I'M NOT A JEEP GUY, SO,
YOU KNOW, FAIR WARNING,

I JUST WANT TO, YOU
KNOW, BE HONEST

AND TELL YOU THAT I'M GONNA NEED

TO SPEND A LITTLE
BIT OF TIME WITH IT

AND COME UP WITH
A REAL PARTS LIST

SO I CAN GIVE YOU A REAL ANSWER.

IS THAT COOL?

- THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.

- OKAY.
- SO LET'S DO IT.

- BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.
- THANK YOU.

- ABSOLUTELY, WE'LL
MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

- TAKE CARE, BUDDY.
- ABSOLUTELY, BROTHER.

WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS SOON.
- ALL RIGHT, MY MAN.

- I KNOW THE JEEP'S DEFINITELY
GONNA LOOK AWESOME,

BUT I CAN'T GUARANTEE
THAT THE PRICE

IS GONNA BE ALL THAT
AWESOME FOR THEM JUST YET.

- HEY, WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

- I'VE GOT SOME OLD NASA
PHOTOGRAPHS AND NEGATIVES.

- OKAY.

YOU ACTUALLY HAVE NEGATIVES?

- YES, WITH THE
RELEASES FROM NASA.

- OKAY, YOU GOT RELEASES
FOR THE NEGATIVES?

- YES.
- OKAY.

AFRICA.

- ISN'T THAT THE UNITED STATES?

- NO, THAT'S AFRICA.

- HOW CAN YOU TELL?
IT'S COVERED IN...

OH, IT IS AFRICA, ALL RIGHT.

I HATE YOU, DUDE.

- THREE, TWO, ONE.

- I DECIDED TO COME TO
THE PAWN SHOP TODAY

TO TRY TO SELL MY NASA
PHOTOGRAPHS AND NEGATIVES.

I BELIEVE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS
MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN OUTER SPACE,

AND I BELIEVE IT'S
PART OF HISTORY.

AND I'M TRYING TO SELL THEM
FOR A FEW HUNDRED APIECE.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE WORTH.

- THESE ARE AMAZING.

WHERE IN THE WORLD
DID YOU GET THESE?

- I BOUGHT THEM IN AN
AUCTION FROM APOLLO 17,

29 PICTURES, 29 NEGATIVES,

A COLOR SHOT AND A
BLACK-AND-WHITE OF EACH.

- THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

IF THESE NEGATIVES
ARE FROM APOLLO 17,

THAT MEANS THEY
WERE ON THE MOON,

AND THAT MEANS THEY'RE VALUABLE.

THIS IS THE LUNAR CONTROL
MODULE AND THE CAPSULE.

- CAPSULE, YEAH.

- THESE ARE REALLY INTERESTING.

WERE THEY DONE ON A SOUNDSTAGE

OR REALLY DONE ON THE MOON?

- WE'LL NEVER KNOW.

- ALL THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS
THINK IT'S DONE ON A SOUNDSTAGE

BECAUSE YOU SEE NO
STARS IN THE BACKGROUND.

- RIGHT.

- BUT I THINK THAT'S JUST THE
WAY THE CAMERA OPERATES.

DID YOU WANT TO PAWN
THESE OR SELL THESE?

- SELL THEM.

- DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT YOU WANTED FOR THEM?

- I DON'T REALLY KNOW, MAYBE
A FEW HUNDRED PER PICTURE.

- ALL RIGHT, I WOULD REALLY
LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THESE,

BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BEYOND
WHAT I NORMALLY DEAL WITH.

I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS STUFF IS RARE.

I DON'T KNOW IF
THESE WERE IN SPACE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THESE
ARE THE ORIGINALS.

THERE'S A LOT OF
THINGS I NEED TO KNOW

BEFORE I CAN EVEN BEGIN
TO MAKE YOU AN OFFER.

MY FRIEND MARK, HE'S THE
CURATOR OF AN AEROSPACE MUSEUM.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY IN THIS
TOWN WHO WILL KNOW, IT'S HIM.

- YEAH, THAT'S GOOD WITH ME.
- OKAY?

IF THESE ARE AUTHENTIC
NEGATIVES FROM NASA,

THE STARS ARE THE LIMIT.

I'M TALKING HUGE
MONEY, BUT I'M NO EXPERT.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO CALL IN
MY BUDDY MARK TO CHECK IT OUT.

- EARLIER, A MAN CAME IN WITH A
SERIES OF PRINTS AND NEGATIVES

FROM NASA'S APOLLO 17.

IF THEY'RE LEGIT, THEY
COULD BE WORTH A FORTUNE.

SO I'M CALLING IN MY BUDDY
MARK TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.

- I'M THE ADMINISTRATOR

OF THE HOWARD W.
CANNON AVIATION MUSEUM.

IN THE MUSEUM FIELD,

I'VE LOOKED AT A LOT OF
STUFF OVER THE YEARS.

I'VE BEEN IN MUSEUMS
FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

AND RICK CALLS ME UP WHEN HE
GETS SOMETHING THAT'S UNUSUAL.

OKAY, SO OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE
ONE OF THE APOLLO MISSIONS.

- APOLLO 17.
- AH, OKAY, GOOD.

APOLLO 17 WAS THE LAST MISSION
THAT WE MADE TO THE MOON.

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP,

THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT
DEFINED OUR LIVES AT THAT POINT.

IT WAS AMAZING.

YOU'D TURN ON THE
TELEVISION AT NIGHT,

AND YOU COULD WATCH GUYS
WALKING AROUND ON THE MOON.

FOR US, THIS WAS ALL NEW.

THIS HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

AND THIS IS KIND OF COOL
BECAUSE IT'S THE LAST ONE OF THEM.

- THIS IS THE NEAT THING I
WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT.

HE'S GOT NEGATIVES.

- OOH, INTERESTING. OKAY.

- ARE THOSE THE NEGATIVES
THAT WERE IN THE CAMERA

THAT WAS USED IN SPACE?

- NO.
- OKAY.

- MAIN REASON IS,
THEY'RE NOT NEGATIVES.

THESE ARE POSITIVES.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT
ONE OF THESE THINGS,

IT'S NOT REVERSED COLORS.

IF THIS WAS A NEGATIVE,

THE SPACE SUIT
WOULD BE IN BLACK.

- I GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT
IT, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK.

I JUST, LIKE... I GOT TO
CALL YOU UP RIGHT AWAY.

- SO WHAT YOU'VE GOT
HERE IS A NASA PRESS KIT.

THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL
SHOTS DONE BY NASA.

PROBABLY WENT OUT TO
NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES,

ANYWHERE THAT THEY
COULD GET PUBLICITY.

- NOW, DO YOU THINK
THESE ARE RARE AT ALL?

- NO, I'M SORRY TO SAY.

THEY PROBABLY DID
HUNDREDS OF THESE PACKETS,

AND SO THERE'LL BE MANY
EXAMPLES OF THESE OUT THERE.

- THANKS FOR COMING IN,
MARK. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

- NOT A PROBLEM. THANKS A LOT.

- WELL, APPARENTLY WE
DON'T HAVE ANYTHING HERE.

- DON'T LOOK LIKE IT.

- THANKS FOR COMING
IN. I APPRECIATE IT.

I FEEL REALLY BAD THEY
DIDN'T END UP BEING REAL.

GUY THOUGHT HE HAD SOMETHING
WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS,

AND THEY'RE BASICALLY WORTHLESS.

HEY, BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE,
I DIDN'T GET STUCK WITH THEM.

- A FEW WEEKS AGO, I
DROPPED A JEEP OFF

OVER AT DANNY AT
COUNT'S KUSTOMS.

ME AND THE OLD MAN WERE ON
OUR WAY TO GO CHECK IT OUT,

BUT MY DAD AND CHUM
DECIDED TO TAG ALONG.

I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS.

I JUST REALLY HOPE DANNY
DIDN'T GO OVERBOARD ON IT.

LET'S HOPE HE DIDN'T
SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY.

- SHUT UP, RICK.

WE'LL SPEND WHAT
WE HAVE TO SPEND.

- OOH.

OOH, LOOK AT THAT.

THIS LOOKS LIKE IT'S
RIGHT OUT OF THE MOVIES.

- THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE
TO DO FOR YOU, BROTHER.

- I LIKE IT.
- I'M GLAD YOU DIG IT.

WELL, YOU REMEMBER WHEN
YOU GUYS BROUGHT IT DOWN.

IT WAS BASICALLY A BODY
SITTING ON A CHASSIS.

WHAT WE WANTED TO DO
WAS KIND OF A FUN TOY,

BUT IT KIND OF GIVES A TRIBUTE
TO AN ARMY JEEP FLAVOR.

- IT'S GOT A SPORTY LOOK TO IT.
- ABSOLUTELY.

CUSTOM-MADE THE
BUMPERS FRONT AND REAR,

ALL THE LIGHTING ON IT.

CUSTOM-MADE THE
WINDSHIELD MOUNT.

BUILT A WHOLE NEW DASH FOR IT.

PUT A STEREO IN IT.

IT'S MY FIRST JEEP, SO
I'M REALLY PROUD OF IT.

I'M HAPPY THE WAY IT CAME OUT.

- LIKE, EVERY TIME I
GIVE YOU A FEW IDEAS,

IT'S LIKE YOU JUMP
INSIDE MY HEAD

AND DO EXACTLY
WHAT I WAS THINKING.

- IT'S SCARY INSIDE
COREY'S HEAD SOMETIMES,

BUT STILL, I APPRECIATE IT.

- I MEAN, IT LOOKS GREAT.

I MEAN, I REALLY LIKE IT.
SO HOW MUCH DID IT COST?

- DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, COUNT.

HE'S JUST A TIGHT-ASS AT TIMES.

NO, I WANT TO KNOW
HOW MUCH IT COSTS TOO.

- I DON'T THINK IT
WAS ALL THAT MUCH.

I MEAN, YOU GUYS, WHAT,

PICKED IT UP FOR $1,800,
WE STARTED WITH, RIGHT?

- YEAH.

- AND I THINK WE'RE,
LIKE, $5,500 IN IT.

I WOULDN'T WORRY TOO BAD.

SO I DEFINITELY THINK YOU'RE
GONNA MAKE MONEY ON THIS.

- AS USUAL, THE
COUNT OUTDID HIMSELF.

I MEAN, EVEN THOUGH I'M
7,300 BUCKS IN THE HOLE,

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SELL
THIS THING FOR 15K EASY.

SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY
GOOD PROFIT MARGIN TO ME.

ALL RIGHT, CHUM, LET'S
DRIVE THIS BACK TO THE SHOP.

- AIN'T NO WAY. COME BACK HERE.

- WE GOT TO TEST IT OUT.

- RICK, DO YOU AGREE WITH ME?
- YES, I AGREE.

LET'S GO. LET'S GO, POPS.

YOU GUYS WANT TO DRIVE,
YOU CAN DRIVE IN THE BACK.

OKAY.

- THIS IS MY PROJECT.

BIG HOSS GETS SCREWED AGAIN.
