    I wonder how many people opened up pawn shops after watching pawn stars for a while and expected to make huge profits on amazing historical finds? It's more like "how much can I get for this vcr? It includes the original remote."

  • @zero3778
    @zero3778 4 роки тому +31

    That medal has a lot of prestige behind it. It is the highest award for merit given to civilians/military members in Poland. Some real amazing people have been awarded it. Witold Pilecki was awarded it posthumously and he was a legend and certifiable badass. How many people have you heard about that purposely got themselves sent to Auschwitz, spent YEARS there, and then broke out and successfully escaped?
    That's a great piece.

    • @marta9127
      @marta9127 9 місяців тому

      Well, not this one. This one was authorised by occupying forces and nobody sane in Poland would call the medal from that period a badge of honour
      Tye real White Eagle Medal is super important, but the one from the partitions' period was given to Russia's pets - so some traitors would get it. No need to confuse two very different things: a hero medal for being a faithful son of our Fatherland vs this thing with the black eagle behind...

Rick wanted to bring the expert to see it but the guy said he doesnt have time for that, its either 6000 or he leaves with it.

    I wonder what Russia meant to imply by the position of their eagle behind Poland's.

    The real loser here is the guy who sold this medal in yard sale for 75 cents.

    I brought the cup Judas drank out of at the last supper back in jesus' day and I had all the paperwork for it including autographs on the cup by the other 11 apostles. Rick offered me 50 dollars at first, then went to 150 as the most he could do. I passed. Sure enough some dude with holes in his hands broke in my house and stole the cup the very next day.

    That is a very high estimate, but I guess when you consider what Tiffany jewelry sells for it makes sense.

      +steven majewski he actually gets close to that because a collector from poland offers to buy it and generally patriotism can call for a guy to pay more than value.
      But I find their appraisal is more honest when directly dealing with the shop owners after the deal. Many of the experts tend to lowball in front of seller.
