No
Rick: The binding has gold on it, well its worthless.
This is officially the saddest thing I have ever seen.
Whoever sold this book to this man, deserves what’s coming to them.
Plot twist: old guy signed a book.
Karma is going to bite someone
Depends how much he paid for it
it's crushing but just thinking would it make a difference if you use different ink pens? Could he try to contact JR the author for the validation?
@@terryjohnson3912 karma doesn’t exist Buddy
The man who saved the book for 19 years and later get to know it's fake. Such a heart break
He should of looked into it right away lol or even 3,4,5 etc. years later if it took the lightbulb that long to think of checking in to it then….hey tough better luck next time
I don't see how he couldn't have known, the signature looked horrible and obviously fake.
@@tiddybagel Not to the untrained eye.
@@daanishmanzoor1 especially the 80 year old untrained eye lmao
So he said anyway.
Did anyone feel that mans heartbreak like I did??? 😟
......Rick is so sympathetic to the guy....a swift handshake....and just walks away....
Poor sod.
Yah, how he said thank you to Rick, I felt that.
He’ll find somebody online to buy it.
But he is giving it to one of great grandchildren which will give him more happiness and 10,000 in his pocket😊
The way the Old Man said "Thank You" to Rick broked my heart😢
Broke* no broked.
@@sinseudonimo1885 Not*, not no.
@@Danny-mk6im good one 😂
Because you are weak minded
@@oaxacabean9797 😁
Rebecca did the ol' Indiana Jones switcheroo and brought in a fake book and stole the old man's rare book
She’s such a gangster
Lmao 😂😂
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
I'm gonna watch that again
aww poor guy, some one even gave him a Certificate of Authenticity for it!. The old man was so soft spoken i like him. I hope he's healthy and happy.
I kinda wanna give the guy a hug, he sounded so disappointed 😥
Bet he was going to use the money as gifts to his grandchildren
All I care about is no wedding ring....
If he didn't sound so old and grandfatherly....I'd want him arrested. The book should be confiscated.
@@jasonmichael3676 , the dealer should be arrested 1st. The old man was a victim.
@@jasonmichael3676 I agree with the reply above me.
Such a heart break! If I were J. K Rowling I would sign that old man's book myself.
I wonder if it would be worth more than a regular signed book if she scribbled out a fake signature then puts hers underneath
@@awesomeavis7861 it's still probably wouldn't be worth anything. One guy on different episode went in with a authentic signature on counterfeit special event Stan Lee Funko pops and it wasn't worth anything.
@@wraithflaire1639 that’s cause funko pops are literal garbage
But then he'd just sell it. If i were a famous writer, want to sign a book for a person that would treasure and keep it
@@awesomeavis7861 just because of the background story I believe people would be interested in collecting it, if JKR would sign it just to make the old man's day. It would give the signature more value than regular signature from signing session.
Just in case anyone was unaware of who Harry Potter was. Thanks Rick
Rick will always be the greatest teacher of the most obvious.
It was kind of painful listening to him explain my childhood.
*Rick: "pizza is delicious". Thanks Bruh.*
I've heard the name before but I've never seen any of the movies.
rick also explains the simpsons...
How does she know, maybe JK Rowling did sign it and had a hangover that day.
maybe tired from signing books too
It's not so much about her knowing it is a forgery; when you have to authenticate a signature, all that is important is whether or not you can do that: In this case, she cannot authenticate the signature, which doesn't always mean a forgery, the chances of that are just too high to purchase it.
You can clearly compare it to the signature on the front of the book....nothing similar
Correct, even my signature differs when i need to put it down 20 times
@@libadjoembie6373 Yes, but you generally will use some kind of pattern. Just depends on how exaggerated it is.
I sooo wanted to see this guy get a boatload of money.
Me too☹️☹️☹️
he would give everything to his grandkids. I am sure of it
Rick would have offered him like 2k if it was worth 10k lol
Thing would have been worth like $200. They are common.
Well it was never worth 10k but it was sad to see him get nothing
I’ve never felt bad for anyone on pawn stars until I saw this...
Rick: I have a very good friend who knows everything about Harry Potter
* In walks Voldemort
😂😂😂
Or Hermione
Don’t say his name
Pretty sure voldemort never really knew harry at all.
@@drewpamon he never tried to get to know him. that's such a Slitherin thing to do
Oh man I felt so bad for the guy. He really sounded like he was going break out in tears. 😢
Sure!
"it's fake so I'll just give it to my grand children..."
heh.
Book is still good I guess.
And in 30 years, his grandkid walks into the Pawn Shop "Hey I'd like to sell my first edition Harry Potter book that's been in my family for decades"
@@Mike-fz4cj Corey will be like "Let me call in a buddy of mine she knows everything about books"
it's just a stupid book, no one cares about the fake signature
@@Mike-fz4cj Then Rick's grandson will call Rebecca's granddaughter for expert advice.
My wife has this exact printing (a 1st edition as well), signed by Rowling (verified real signature), but with an optional acetate dust jacket offered by the publisher on the first weekend the book was on sale. Many people didn't get the dust jacket because it was an extra 10 pounds. We bought it at a book shop in Philadelphia in 2016. It's definitely one of her prized possessions.
You paid an extra “10pounds,” in Philadelphia.???
@@dexterboyz4023 WTF? No, that's how much extra the dust jacket cost originally. The First Edition was EXCLUSIVE to the UK, and the only way to get it in the USA was on the 2nd hand market as a collectible. Which is what we did, at a shop in Philadelphia.
Good call on getting the dust jacket.
@@dexterboyz4023 There is a Philadelphia in England as well.
Certificate of Authenticity looked like it was printed on a bar napkin.
Cafe napkin
Most coas are fake
well, messi's first contract with barcelona was written on a napkin xd
English Pub
@@Nurmengard Big difference between a futbol club owner writing a contract on a bar napkin vs someone trying to part an old man from his money by passing a fugazi harry potter book!
The way he talks when he finds out its worth nothing just breaks my heart😔
Worst forgery signature I've ever seen. Looks like a child tried copying it
He literally did it she said it's kinda shakey I feel bad for him tho. He prob really needed the money. And he says he had a authenticity
😝....Funny, But Really Felt Bad For The Old Man....😂
The old man's hand writing obviously lol 😝😂 jk
No it's true. Though shes a signature expert she can definitely tell he's the one that's why she said shakey lol
Imagine if it actually was JK’s signature and she just botched it in a rush lmaooo.
It’s rare I feel terribly sorry for something in the pawnshop, but that old man about broke my heart
*buys a rare book and takes it to the Pawn Shop just to meet Rebecca*
lol bucket list before checking into nursing home.
i heard she's a lesbian tho
@@JMacTheFanatic You've never seen a hot lesbian?
@@JMacTheFanatic That's dumb she's literally married to a Romney relative of that politician, lucky guy!
Yeah, but no. She moved to Washington D.C. area (probably because of her husband) and hasn’t been on the show since 2016 (if I’m not mistaken) 😔 she was one of the only women experts. I miss her.
old guy sounds like scottie pippen now
how at all.
Not really tho
Sound more like bill gates
yeah. no.
No tf he doesn't
Never felt so sad about someone not getting the item bought. I would actually buy it from the old man If I ever come across him.
Yes. He was definitly disappointed!
Yeah like it's *still* a first edition Harry Potter...
Sure a lot of 90s kids probably have first edition Harry Potter books but when are you gonna find one in that condition ever again.
Yes but that won’t overcome his disappointment. For him…..That’s something for life
Yeah sure you would
@@harrisonkearney5619 But it’s not a first edition Harry Potter. It is the first printing of a deluxe edition produced after the book was already popular. Not rare. Even then, unsigned is worth more than fake-signed.
That old man was eyeing of the REAL COPY. For a QUICK SWITCH HAhaaaaa
Plot twist: The seller is the actual Harry Potter!
Dude that was the gayest comment on this page. Not funny at all.
@@myfingershurt3489 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@myfingershurt3489 see above for gayest comment
"Harry Potter theme starts playing in the background"
That's stupid
"Do not lean on the glass"
Leans casually on the glass
* Item comes in store *
Rick: “I don’t know anything about this at all.”
Also Rick:* gives the whole backstory and history of the item dates and times etc. *
Then calls in an export who adds absolutely nothing but pads runtime. ☠😂
Omg yes, exactly. How does he know everything about everything yet asks what it is 😂
It's like it's a TV show with a production team and a director that feeds them lines to say or something. 😅😅😅😅
knowing a few dates and times is closer to nothing than something.
and besides, that wpuldnt help with the price.
an expert needs to come in to give a price, regardless of how much he knows about it.
@@idontwanttopickone
Doh! 🍩
"Let me get her down here"... dream on, Rick 😆
Why do I have the feeling you own a real doll....🤷
That awkward pause when she says it’s worth nothing lmfao
Rebecca: signature was really shaky
Old man: Oh man! she found out about my Arthritis
That akward handshake after destroying someone's hopes lol
Calling Harry Potter just a kid who carries a stick is like calling James Bond just a man who carries a pew pew
Big Horse scoffed at Star Wars but got really excited for Power Rangers so I wouldn't put much stock in their tastes of artistic talent.
😂😂😂
Man , you got to try reality once in awhile
Lol that was a good one
@@XIPHIASCDXX got a point
“Let me call in a buddy of mine who’s an expert on sorcery”
Voldemort pulls up real quick
😂
We all know Rebecca the book expert
Omg 😂
*In walks Hermione Granger
I hate it when people bring something in and they don’t know it’s unauthentic, I always feel so bad😢
I hate when people walk in as if they got the holy grail asking 10k because of what reason? The book even if signed probably 3.5k not 10k. And why do people let themselves be duped into buying something they don't need to begin with.
@@dgray3771 wouldn't even be worth 3.5k your talking around 1.5-2k at the top end, the entire delux edition set with each book signed sells for around £10k ($13k)
Fun Fact: Rebecca used to be a Bookseller and Principal at Honey & Wax Booksellers, and now she's opening her own gallery in DC called *Type Punch Matrix*
when JK was doing book signings, she would always add a little message to the person buying the book, so a bare signature is the biggest giveaway that it was fake, and btw, she always used black ink.
so how come Rebecca would have just a signature too ?
@@montrealfilmguy it doesnt, look again
@@thelastdruidofscotland youre not answering my question. Why would Rebecca have a fake one too ?
@@montrealfilmguy she doesnt
@@thelastdruidofscotland you make no sense. i suggest you sit down for a while.
I have a very good “friend”..... ‘Wink wink’
“Do your magic ahahah”
... he was so excited to say that
The signature in this guy's book looks so off that he probably signed it himself in the parking lot just before getting out of the car and going in.
nah, he had to have time to print off the Certificate of Authenticity!
Can you judge him? I would do the same for a chance to see Rebecca!
😆😆😆
Rebecca is one of my favorite "Let me call a buddy of mine" people.
I know I’d take all the risks for Rebecca😩
So you like straws?
@@jonaveul no entiendo señor
@@jonaveul straws? .. shes an intelligent and pretty girl.. why you hating?
I’m really sad for this guy… he’s so sweet.
Breaks my heart
When you see book, you know they’re going to bring in their book expert Rebecca 😍
Simp
SIMP
Why does everyone simp for Rebecca?
As the only lady in the show, it'll be normal for some men to crack jokes to her in such a way that others would think that they're "simps".
😍😍❤❤💋💋😍😋💗💗❤💋💋
"I need to have my buddy come in and authenticate this signed Harry Potter book."
*Snape enters the shop*
Rick: Let me call a buddy of mine to come and check this.
(Voldemort walks in...)
Why does this comment not have more likes?
Rick: it’s worthless I have a trash can 🗑 right here..
Rick: 0k all I can do is a ginger beer any less I'm breaking my wand here...
I had a feeling this was not going to end well for the old gent when Rebecca walks in with the exact same book . I f she has an authenticated signed copy Rick should have asked her how much it is worth
"Let me bring in Harry Potter himself"
I felt so bad for the old man at the end. He had that book for a good portion of his life believing that he had something special.
When you regret getting rid of your harry potter book
you*
If Harry was any kind of wizard why didn’t he fix his own eyesight
@blu menthal Plot twist...he actually had perfect vision and was just trying to get chicks with them specs.
She says it's a 1999 deluxe edition, not a first edition
Her copy is a 1999 Deluxe Edition, signed.
Every time the book is republished in a different format a new first edition is generated. There was a first edition published of the original book, but when they published a deluxe edition there would be a first edition of that deluxe edition too. The true first edition would always be most desirable for most collectors, but the deluxe first edition is collectable in its own right
@@dzonbrodi514 Yes, but this was printed in such huge numbers and for a market already expecting it to grow in value and by that time she was signing these books like crazy. Even with the real signature this is not worth much.
@@petrmaly9087 yeah collectable doesn't mean valuable, or scarce, or even rare; it just means people will want it. And they will, in good condition, with the actual author's signature. Even if it's only worth $50 or $100, that's a lot more than most books are worth.
@@dzonbrodi514 Sure, but in that case it is better for a used books store specialising in this and not a pawn store.
When she was writing the 1st book, she sat in a coffee house scribbling away....... the staff there used to HATE it when she came in - - - - her nickname was "one cup Jane", pretty much sums up how much she spent in there
Jokes on them now 🤣
I hear Rebecca's name on everyone's lips, like a mantra. Beautiful really.
She adores books we adore her!
so ur another wierdo?
Rebecca u broke that old man heart to pieces
0:18 Rick Your jokes are so dumb
He probably does that on purpose for the show. Behind the scenes I bet he's a real potty mouth.
It was pretty funny to me
It's called a dad joke
that woulda been HILARIOUS if rick cracked up and the old man slapped him and lectured him on harry potter or at least just kept a stone cold face.
Luke, you're even dumber. The movie, Dumb and Dumber and its sequel were based off you.
Poor guy ,I feel bad for him. Whoever did this to this man will get whatever is coming to them rest assured.
Rick: Best I can do is Dumbledore's nose hair and Hermione's bath water.
I'll take it!
I'll take Hermione's bath water!
poor old man he was just trying to sell it for a good price then got broken inside by the end
Looking at the scrawly signature I’m guessing he signed it before he walked in the shop
I doubt it. He probably got it at a thrift store or yard sale and thought he got lucky
Unless u know him, its bad enough of what he found out, dude don't rub salt in the wound
Well that was a tough lesson to learn. Rebecca said its not worth to be around. Thats rough. Was fun to watch. Great video
I see some bootlegged Pikachu figures at 0:19 🤨
Steve Grad verified that they were real.
Lot of people came into the store quick from 0:50 to 1:00 LOL
Plot Twist: Rebecca brought the fake and did a switcheroo when they weren't looking.
Rick explaining the plot of Harry Potter as if this gentleman hasn’t read the book he’s selling 😂😂
They should track the dealer in the UK who sold a forgery.
One minute they are talking and no one is in the store, then a second later the store is full of people. It's Magic!
Well yeah obviously more than a couple minutes has passed I guess you think TV is fiction.
He always asks how much they want before he calls the expert so he can tell them how much to under value it
My heart aches for that old man and the person who screwed him over will get due karma
Old man probably forged it himself, signature is shaky lol
Rebecca's basically saying, that signature looks like an old man signed it.
even when Rebecca gives a bad appraisal, everyone is still smiling
Lol the old man forged the signature himself 🤣🤣
I feel so sorry for this guy I feel like someone should consolidate him. I mean the sorrow and sadness in his voice. Imagine if chum lee came out from the back and gave the dude a hug and then went to Rick's Bar together.
consolidate him? How does one consolidate someone?
@@igvc1876 You take the guy and merge him with another guy, my guy - what's not to understand?!
That's so heartbreaking... here in the UK, and unsigned first edition of this book sold for £80,000 :/
Fake news
Why is the intro to the seller always done after Rick laughs at his own jokes........
Cuz Rick’s jokes are far more important than the item or the seller 😂
@@dunkingstudios Id like to sell my joke book be a funny intro haha
😂😂
who would rick get to appraise a book anyway if Rebecca brought in a book to sell
@@michaeldodd3589 Because his jokes are funny???
All these years I thought this book was about a hairy potter. Thanks for clearing that up Rick.
I got a hairy Potter for you. Like to authenticate it .
When you see a book. You know what is coming and it feels good.
That’s more so for the audience
how do you even judge based off on a signature mine looks different each time
0:43 that old man is a rule breaker.
Timothy Whitelaw im dumb, explain?
@@imaginewagons3777 It says "do not lean on glass" which we see the man doing a few seconds later.
Drew Daly i see, i really need to sleep. Thanks!
Nice to see you guys are actually filming in the shop again. You can tell by the front door. The "set" makes the door a plain frosted white with no movement behind it.
*Rebecca* - "the book has zero value."
*Rick* - "My offer is -1 and I'm taking a huge risk here!"
Actually the guy has to pay Rick 5 bucks
Everytime i see signatures scrutinized i think of how everytime i sign something it always looks slightly different. I just have sloppy handwriting. Celebrities dont?
The thing that I noticed is that signatures are studied. For example, I can do my signature perfectly everytime. But there has been some things were the expert said that the celebrity was known for having a sloppy signature. So seeing a perfect signature on a known sloppy signature is a sign, aside from the signs of forgery.
Rebecca is a CEO now! Her title just used to say "Rare Books Specialist."
All thanks to us
Simp
Evil Rebecca: "Yo that's totally worthless and fake, I'll give ya $5 for it"
((Sells it for $20k at auction))
Greetings from all my heart to all the experts in all the specialties that you host. I wish them health, safety, success and progress in their work. With great thanks and respect.
0:48 the real magic here is rick making the other customers appear and reappear
It always annoyed me how happy Rick seems whenever his “buddies”tell him that its not worth as much as the seller was asking for.
lmao it says "dont lean on glass" the old man just chillin leaning on it
The shop was is empty and then all of sudden there’s people
It must be because they walked out of platform 9 3/4
They all came to see Rebecca!
the people are friends and family of the production company and the harrisons, cause of stupid "private" laws in Nevada
they made it purposely, to adjust the events of the book 🧙♂️
@@alexander1485 They are not stupid laws. The people you see in the background are probably either paid extras, or they are people that they got off the street that were wantign to see how an episode is filmed. Think about it - how many friends and family can you really get to fill the shop up, everytime there is an episode??? Think about it. I promise you won't look stupid.
"Thank you I guess"...my feeling about my 3 ex-wives....lol 🤣
Should of given the old timer some strip club private dance vouchers or something...😆👍
He would be careful with that. I've seen some seedy strip clubs and the stripper could be as old as his ex girlfriend
Should have
@@Phenix19 👍🏿 good job 👏
they did. he got pink eye.
Lol at 0:49 you have literally zero people in the shop and by the time Rick finishes the sentence at 1:03 its packed!
The dude died when leaving the store
but not because of covid tho
A dementor kissed him as he walked out the door.
how??
Y would u say that?
Rebecca: it's worth 0 dollars
Me: but ...knowledge is power!!!!
A real signed first edition goes for 50 grand plus so asking for 10 I knew someone was off.
Yeah . . . you're spot on ! 👍
I knew a Harry Potter buff bbandazck in 2002.
He tried (possibly succeeded) in o btaining a genuine First Edition back then, before the movies blew up.
I vividly remember that he was looking at
forking out £4,000 ($US11,000) back then for a genuine First Erdition.
Rebecca got the Anti Simp hairstyle.
Crazy that a book from most of our childhoods is being shown on Pawn Stars.
makes me feel old, like 3-4 centuries old 😂
