Watch as expert evaluations unfold, including a 1967 Chicago Bears signed football with questionable autographs. Don’t miss out on these jaw-dropping moments and history-making treasures!

Shoeless Joe Jackson's Autograph: A Game-Changing Find.

One of the first items that walk through the door is a signed book by Shoeless Joe Jackson, one of the most infamous baseball players in history. Joe Jackson, who was banned from the game for his role in the 1919 World Series scandal, is one of the rarest signatures in the world. Rick is excited about the potential of the book, but there's a catch—Jackson was illiterate, and most of his autographs were signed by his wife.

Byzantine Coin from the Roman Empire

Next, Rick gets a coin that dates back to the Byzantine Empire—a fascinating artifact from the Roman Empire’s eastern territories. The coin features the image of Christ, representing the era’s rich cultural and religious symbolism. Rick hopes the coin will be worth a significant amount, but after negotiating with the owner, the deal seems to fall flat. Rick ends up paying $1,100, thinking he’s got a great deal.

Fake Ivory Tusk: Bone Instead of the Real Deal

A woman walks in with a hand-carved ivory tusk, hoping to get between $1,000 and $1,500 for it. However, Rick’s expert eye quickly reveals that this isn’t real ivory—it's actually bone. Made for the tourist trade, it lacks the weight and solidity of authentic ivory. Rick explains that, in general, he’s no longer interested in buying ivory due to ethical concerns, and after assessing the tusk, he offers the owner just $100 for it.

The Holy Grail of Hot Wheels: A Rare Find.

One of the most exciting moments of the episode comes when a man brings in a Hot Wheels toy car that Rick describes as “the Holy Grail of Hot Wheels.” It’s a pink 1969 Volkswagen Beach Bomb, an incredibly rare model that was never sold to the public. Only a few of these cars were ever made, and even fewer remain in mint condition.

Claude Monet Painting: A Shocking Fake.

Rick also finds himself face-to-face with a man who claims to have a painting by Claude Monet, the legendary French Impressionist. Monet’s work is among the most valuable in the world, and this painting seems like it could be worth millions. The man doesn't have much information about the piece, but he believes it could be worth a fortune.

Shrunken Head: A Tourist Souvenir or a Valuable Artifact?

In one of the most unusual moments of the episode, a man walks in with a supposed shrunken head, which he claims is a relic from an Amazonian tribe. Rick is intrigued, but he’s also cautious. Shrunken heads, or “tsantsas,” were traditionally made by Ecuadorian tribes as trophies of war. However, in the modern world, many of these heads are made for the tourist trade.

Scottish Knives: Authentic or Fake?

A man brings in two Scottish knives, hoping to get $4,000 for them. One is a reproduction, poorly made, and not worth much, but the other is an authentic antique Scottish dagger, a prized piece of history. Rick inspects both items and calls in an expert for a more detailed evaluation.

1967 Chicago Bears Football: A Piece of NFL History.

Lastly, a man brings in a signed football from the 1967 Chicago Bears, featuring autographs from legendary players like Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo. The football is a unique piece of NFL history, but there’s a catch—it may not be entirely authentic. Corey, another expert, examines the autographs and determines that some of them are likely “clubhouse signatures”—signed by someone who knew the players but wasn’t directly involved in the game.
