Pawn Stars Review: February 13, 2014

Again, sorry for the late post.  Just haven't had the time.
In the first episode, the story line of the day is Chumlee wanting a pay advance to buy a new TV to watch the "Big Game", or the Super Bowl.
poster, robot, roosevelt, rough riders, boilerplate
The first guy brought in a piece of the flag that was carried by Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders up San Juan Hill.  http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-battle-of-san-juan-hill
It was the company flag, not the Star and stripes flag.  There was no special paperwork with it.  The guy wanted $8000 and time for an expert, "The Beard of Knowledge" Mark.  Mark thought the flag didn't go up the hill because they walked up the hill and they didn't bring the flag up.  Rick didn't make an offer so there was no sale.
Vintage 1942 Dr. Pyle's Foot Oscillator or Massager
The next lady brought in a Vipedex Foot Oscillator, basically a foot massager.  Antwan, the security guard gave it a try and it worked and he loved it.  The lady wanted $1500 and Chumlee offered $50 and was firm.  That was the sale price. Chumlee and Corey were caught using the massager. Finally, the Old Man was using it.
Davey Deals came in and brought in some memorabilia of Grizzly Adams. 
http://grizzlyadams.com/  This included a lunch box, some toys and a TV guide with autographs.  Davey wanted $500 and Rick offered $150 and then $200 and that was the deal.
Vintage Marx TIN LITHO WIND UP ARMY TANK TOY
The next lady brought in some old Marx Company tin toys.  http://www.marxmuseum.com/
The lady got these in a will from her grandfather.  There were 2 tanks and a couple of cars from Dick Tracy.  The lady wanted $500 and Corey wanted an expert, Johnny.  Johnny said they were American made and in fairly good shape and worth $600.  Corey offered $350 and that was the deal- no haggling.
In the 2nd episode, Rick's back was hurting him (I know his pain- with about 6 bulging disks and a few other problems)  Corey offered up this gem up "you need to go to the doctor to get a sot of "be a man".
Chumlee gave Rick a large rubber ball because of ergonomics. 
The first guy brought in a signed check of Babe Ruth to buy some seats at the World Series.  http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/ruthba01.shtml
The check price was $481.70.  The guy had a letter of authenticity.  The authenticity was done already by Steve Grad, a regular on the show.  The guy wanted $10,000.  Rick still called Steve to get a price.  Steve came in with a lot of bling on.  He said the $10,000 was a high price.  He didn't know if the check was not or tickets.  He thought it was worth about $4000 and the guy wanted $7000, then $5000.  Rick  offered $2500 and that was the deal.
Civil War Navy buttons Waterbury Button Co
The next lady brought in a Civil War Navy buttons.  It was the from the Union navy.  The lady wanted $1300.  Time for an expert, Mark.  Mark said the buttons were real and from the Civil War.  According to Mark, there are button collectors.  Button collectors?  Seriously?  Corey offered $200 and $400, then $500 and that was the selling price. 
Kind of strange.  In 1 part of the show, Corey had a full beard and other parts of the show, he was clean shaven.
top down
Rick and Chumlee went on the road to 1966 Ford Econline camper van.  Chumlee didn't really like it an d it did need some work.  The guy wanted $5500 and Rick didn't make an offer.  No sale.
That ends another 2 new episodes.  Thanks for stopping by and next week we will have 2 new episodes.
