-has a 300 year old document
-doesn’t frame it
-doesn’t use gloves when touching it
God the carelessness of some people astonishes me
apparently it's only worth 1,250 so who cares
Ricks wife: Want to fool around?
Rick: mind if I call a friend?
😂😂😂😂😂
Signed documents by king George the 3rd go for under 1000 but a comic book from maybe 30-40 years ago can go for 350k
This world is bananas .
Go buy it then..
Supply and demand.
Demand for a signed game worn Jersey from the last game ever played by some athlete today is probably higher than the demand for a taxation document signed by a foreign royalty.
Hail to our queen Stefanie
thing is, this is not a special item really. Just old but its a tax documents that wasn't really important.
Maybe the guy signed tens of thousands of documents. I'm no historian but I'm sure the king had to approve a bunch of policies and stuff by signing them. I wouldn't be surprised if he had to sign like 50 documents per day.
“I have a friend who was an advisor to King George III and he’ll know everything about it, let me get him down here and we’ll verify it!”
Its sad that i read that in ricks voice
@Jamie K um... what?
It was a joke based on how Rick knows literally everyone who is an expert in something. I’m not sure if your comment is directed at me, thinking I’m a young person who doesn’t know how experts can become an expert on a topic, but this was just a joke, not a critique of anything...
@Jamie K and to be fair, most experts today are learning the intelligent things primarily from machines. 🤷♂️ That’s just how technology changes the world and the way we operate.
King George nephew is my buddy let me get him down here
I have a buddy who specializes in stolen comments, let me get him down here, he'll tell us everything we need to know and we will find out if this is legit.
“$4500 huh?” *proceeds to flip it around like a scrap paper*
Owner brings in his ringer to lowball the customer every time. The people taking this stuff to a pawn shop are morons.
The show is SO very scripted, so it probably is scrap paper!
@@jsivco3sivco785 they still gather real items and run a real pawn shop
the expert just pulled the price out of his ass!
People’s handwriting used to be amazing.
Jake Jones you must of never seen a cute girl in class write lmao
and now people have degenerated to using emoji hieroglyphs
thats kind of how mine looks, it takes LOTS of time to get it like that
That's because they took they're time and made multiple drafts also they wrote in ink only so when they did write they had to do it slowly and methodically or else start all over again.
I'm an accountant and I think it'd be cool to hang this document framed in my office to show to my clients if I were to open my own firm someday.
2:26 Every time Rick huffs and puffs over a document (including the extra spit), the value of the document goes down. They need to put a glass shield in front of him, just like in a buffet.
How can something like this only be worth $1250?
Just because something is old doesn't make it worth money. I'm pretty sure that document had hundreds of copies since it was a pay grade type of document. Items that are rare, and in great condition go for more. Lets say King Georges personal coat would be far more valuable because it its one of a kind and his personal item.
OrangeCrush Gamer yes but it was signed by the most powerful monarch to ever live
Brandon Cruz I suppose you’re right
How can something like this be worth as much as $1250?
I think it is funny how Rick always calls a buddy when he stands there talking to the person about facts about the thing they brought in
If its from the 1700s, why are they touching it with their bare hands?
You'd prefer bare feet to hands? 😁
@@jsivco3sivco785 what i mean, smartass, is why arent they wearing cloth gloves to protect it?
I would never give him my asking price before the expert sees, he always tells the expert to go lower than the asking price every time and rarely goes over
Very good point, ive also noticed the experts estimates were very often just below what the seller wanted. When you think about it, whats there to prevent rick telling the asking price to the expert when he calls them up? Nothing i guess. Very good point indeed.
In England this would cost a bloody fortune
Probably plenty of buyers in Hampstead though.
It’s the holy grail of tax documents signed by king George during the Revolution.
I used to love this show, when it first was on....cause it was random things, like old toys, 1860 guns, vintage random items. But, when things like this show up or JFK’s cigar box, Hendrix guitar, Ben Franklin’s glasses, etc. I knew then it was staged, cause who is going into a Las Vegas pawn shop to pawn those kind of items, when you know an auction will get you so much more.
Simple answer is auctions take time and cost money (fees). The appeal of a pawnbroker is liquidity - cash now. Think about it... how many items go to auction, never hit their reserve price and don't sell? How many items go to auction and sell for less than the seller wanted without a reserve? An auction not only adds time risk, it adds price risk too. The reward for taking on that extra risk is the potential to make more than expected. You eliminate time/price risk when selling to a pawnbroker because - cash now. Staged or not, it's still an interesting learning experience and fun to watch.
@@ragingbull94mtx the pawn shop deals in historical stuff so make sense
@@chrispennington6890 Indeed!™
"cmon, it's not like it's signed by elvis..."
Lol throwing it around like its nothing... i was hoping he'd rip it
I noticed that, not professional at all. You should wear gloves also.
Wait like 1 thousand years and it will be worth a bill lmao
That seems super cheap for something signed by King George, you might as well donate it to a museum where someone would appreciate it better.
Its easy to say because its not your money.
"Best I can do is $60"
Got that Draco will you do $65?
mr x how about 59.99 and you have a deal
Bag of Skittles best offer
Lol
Smart that he didnt took the offer that item would be worth way more over in England take it to a auction there easily youl fetch around 3000$ for it .
take it to England then sell it there since he wants to go there anyway, it's certain to be worth far far more there.
Yes & no, we have more history so documents are more common. My gripe is that Americans understandably don't know their terms .... eg. the Act of Union was in Queen Anne's reign therefore we should be talking about George III being the King of Great Britain & Ireland (not England!). It's the ROYAL NAVY not English Navy and BRITISH ARMY not English Army. Ric H should know better.
penitent2401 In England have loads of these. In the US British stuff are valued more.
Daniel B as a fellow Brit, you are being petty to the fifth power
ooh look, a common military document from 250 years ago. yawn. I'd give you 50 cents for it just because I'm nice.
Daniel B we don’t know or care about the Hierarchal System and how Britain and uk and other countries are run. Why? Pointless. We won’t learn the basics because what’s the point?
lmao the look he gave him when he said "1250 range"
So googling his signature and comparing it to what he's looking at makes him an expert? That's a sweet job! All you need is Google, a printer and a set of eyeballs!
dude is shivering so hard. he probably printed it out 5 minutes before entering the pawn shop and prayed to jesus they won't notice :P
lol the music
I know these sought of documents pertaining to the pay of soldiers aren't overly rare, especially for George III who signed thousands of documents in his lifetime.
I would have never sold that amazing piece of history
"I haven't had it checked out but I'm an antiques dealer by trade so naturally I thought I'd get top dollar from a pawn shop instead of an auction or selling it to a collector directly."
Maria wears the pants in that relationship. " make sure you tell them about me!"
King George and Mr. Brown got along famously
Something I've learned watching this show is that being an autograph authenticator is the easiest job in the world. $1250 is an utter joke too
Document signed by the king of enland worth jist more then a dying 2008 ford feasta
When you think about it, that's just a piece of paper (and not an important one, not like the declaration of independence in the US for instance) and a military document isn't worth that much, even old ones.
Lol
You pay 4500 if you want it
@@GeorgeTwine So then why don't you buy it if you think it's worth more than that?
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt
It hurts me everytime they touch it with their hands..
It’s laminated
$1,250 sounds REALLY low for something like this.
But I wouldn't buy it, so maybe he has something there.
An entire production crew and still nobody thinks to wear protective gloves with historic archival materials. Awful.
It belongs in a museum.
why would you take anything you think is that valuable to a pawn shop lol... take it to a proper auctioneers! pawn shops are mostly for folks that's desperate for money especially in Vegas with all the casino's
It's all about putting together a show history buffs would enjoy. I agree, no one would just show up at a Vegas pawn shop with historical items.
1) fake show
2) quick cash
3) auctioneers take a pretty hefty percentage
Pawn shops are there if youre in a hurry.
I think the authenticity of this is highly questionable. In 18th century England a "long s" was used as an "s" at the beginning of words and within the word but never at the end of a word. I have a 1755 London Gazette newspaper. Here are some excerpts: "His Majefty's Service"; "affift the Captains"; "impreffing Seafaring Men"; "perfons", etc. The original Declaration of Independence" follows this style, but I don't see that style here. I also have an 1803 newspaper "The Spectator" printed in New York City that has the "long s" style throughout. Also, as another stated, if this is so valuable why isn't it in a protective mylar holder?
Read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s
lover of this video! History! more videos.
"You cry in your tea, which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by..."
Hamilton reference lol
it is not the English Navy but the Royal Navy nor is it the English Army but British both flew the Union Flag and had Soldiers from the British Isles and there was also Irish Regiments which fought under the Union Flag
Depend since Anglo Saxony isn't a British ethnic group and George III is King of Hanover; Plus with Ireland and Scotland supporting Stuart, the Royal Navy is a daft term
Tell Maria to find her own way to England lol
He knows what the guy wants so, he calls his expert, and tells him what too price it. Before he gets to the shop, if it sells the expert gets a cut.
Dude hands were shaking hard af
I was shocked it was so low on value I wonder why
he calls the guy to come in and says he'll give him $50 if he says the value is a bit over a thousand bucks
If you are looking for top dollar, you don't go to a pawn shop.
Mr Brown and King George III went famously together
That looks so much more expensive
That’s worth way more than $750
Obviously he gets more money if he sells in England than in U.S.
Take the Doc to England. If you travel to England to sell it you can write off the entire trip.
You have to wonder why, in this day and age of internet commerce, people would be going to a pawn shop to sell rare and valuable items. Unless they're desperate for fast cash.
I refuse to believe that hi end items (seen on many "Pawn Stars Eps.) just walk in through the door. These sellers would have knowledge of the value of their item or people around them that do. I can only assume they are contacted or given some incentive to come into a pawn shop and "come on telly" with your item. There are just too many forums with info. and too many auction houses or sites that attract hi end buyers to go to a pawn shop of all lowly places.
How does an antique dealer not verify what he owns? That is ridiculous.
The very first thing I thought was why are they touching this paper with bare hands?
Becaufe it's a fake and worthlefs. See my below comment.
Handling old documents with clean hands does not hurt them.
jet052673 yeah but you can never be so sure even in special occasions hands sweat all the time...even with the outmost carefulness you'd have to be very but very careful. ..and only to experts is allowed to lay hands in private exceptional priced materials n doc...if you want to be sure of absolutely no damage. ..
He might be better off auctioning it; competition might provide a higher price.
A show about thieves
Mr Brown and I got along famously
"You have the nails used to crucify Jesus Christ? Best I can do it 25 bucks.. I'm taking a BIG risk here"
I’ll have to frame it, clean it, read it to bed etc.
i mean, if you had the cross it would be worth something, but that's just the nails
"But let me call my friend Jesus to verify if they're authentic."
Cool vid.
shouldn't that be in some protective sleeve in the very least?
They need to call this show " phone a friend "
Plot twist: Appraiser actually meant $12.50
Any bets Rick tells the expert the asking price so he can low ball them? Only smart people don’t sell when the expert has lowball price.
It's not a big deal to touch an already worn $1K document. A pristine $1M document is a different story.
I sell this stuff for a living but business is so bad because my prices are so high I'm trying to sell it in pawn shops.
Funny that George Washington has the same signature...
Illuminati?
No he actually doesn’t, I’ve seen Washington’s signature, my university library has two letters in a collection written by him.
George Washington didn’t even sign as George, His signature is a very fanciful G. Washington.
I’d keep it too. Literally $10,000 wouldn’t interest me.
I wish I can write like that
If you didn't know.. He has a wife named Maria
The expert meant $12,500.
yo no one comment in 3 years lmaooo
I hate the staged extensive knowledge these guys have. They should skip that and let the expert explain it.
An antique dealer at a pawn shop..yeah right
a real antiques dealer would not take their item to a pawn shop to sell
You need to case that and wear gloves
it was the only document he had, so sad.
Ridiculous price
I would have thought itd be worth more, is it possible the expert meant 12500?
it looks like a wedding invitation
Let the handwriting speak for how far we've fallen ; )
If had the paper in the UK, you would've been murdered for it.
An antique dealer by trade selling $hit at a pawn shop .. good business strategy
Being that this guy did NOT accept Ricks offer it would be fair to say THEY DID NOT GET ALONG FAMOUSLY!
Why is a Antique Dealer selling antiques at a pawn shop? The entire point of a antique dealer is to buy and sell the stuff yourself, not sell it to some middle man.
No such thing as the English navy. It’s the Royal Navy
It's a pity that Rick does not know the difference between the "English" army and navy and the "British" army and navy.
@Jamie K That explains it then!
Well, let me just lick this paper here and see if it's really from that era....
Why do they even bother to talk price before the expert looks at the item? This show has a rhythm that would match a metronome. I suppose the public prefers it that way....
How did everyone before 1800 have perfect handwriting?
Most people were illiterate. They had scribes to do the writing. It was a matter of pride.
WHY do the show's producers insist on the pop-ups disappearing after a millisecond? There's ZERO purpose for that.
You can take your wife to New England for $700. I heard the clam chowder there is absolutely delicious.
So a macbook pro is worth more than a historical document signed by a king...
Apples and oranges, dude.
Valuable document? Handles it without gloves.
English navy? British Navy. There's no such thing as English armed forces post 1707. The English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish (now Northern Irish) largely make up the British forces.
Depend since Anglo Saxony isn't a British ethnic group and George III is King of Hanover; Plus with Ireland and Scotland supporting Stuart.
B Mc not at that point, 1707 is when the British isles became Britain
only 1250? wtf? Some of my PSA 10 yugioh cards sell more than that which is nuts lol how are they even on the same scale id assume something like this would be worth 5K+ at least
Why is he shaking?
