Hard Core PAWN

[marcmandel]

Did you guys know there was an episode that the son at the store was outright accused of stealing a '52 Mantle from a customer ?!?!? A guy walked in with a binder full of cards and you can see the Mick card on camera. Later on during the negotiation the card was "removed". At some level, entirely plausible.

That’s the back of a 1953 Bowman Mickey Mantle not a 1952 Topps Mantle in the binder in the video and it sure is a bright white, I’m thinking possibly a reprint or a counterfeit.

I used to watch that show but found it so sleazy that I had to watch some porn after just to clear my eyes.

That said, I've been watching Cops again lately. Not scripted!

They used to sell on Ebay. I once bought a fake 1948 Leaf Satchell Paige rookie from them.

Although it pains me to admit it, I also bought a counterfeit card, Williards Chocolate Cobb, from them. It sat raw until I decided to get it graded by SGC because I was suspicious; it was bogus as hell. I was embarassed and did not pursue it, sort of like a young girl who is sexually attacked and too chagrined to report it to the cops. These people are bad actors. The son reminds me of a vampire.

I saw that one as well. It was the back of a 1953 Mantle for sure. I don't know about it being a reprint, we never saw the front.

Except it's a fake show and as far as I can tell only person accusing the son of stealing the card is the guy that posted the youtube video you posted the link for. I went to the link hoping to see the drama actually unfold on the show ... now THAT would have been interesting.

Plus as others have pointed out, the card in the binder is 53 Bowman not 52 Topps.

And did I mention it's a fake show?

We had a reason to be up around Detroit last year and found ourselves looking the place up on GPS.

Once we arrived there - it was clear that this was a really "Bad Neighborhood" and the the place itself was fantastically Craptacular......

Yeah, that show was horrible. I watched a few episodes when it first came out, total trash.

Pawn Stars is a million times better.

That's like saying Oscar is the toughest Muppet.

Can't watch any of them. Makes me sick. Proprietors and employees are complete know-nothings whose ego-driven confidence in their own non-expertise finds new heights with each passing season. All ego with nothing to back it up; not even tact or good manners. The ignorance and attitudes displayed by each and every one of them sets me off. Pretty sure some people featured on My 600 Lb. Life were easier on the eyes, too...

Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus (not to be confused with George Stephanopoulos) seem like they could be tough to beat, if due to size alone. Plus they would probably form an alliance.

But maybe they don't count as muppets?
