These sketches were the originals from the book Where the Wild Things Are and were not only valuable but also one of a kind, as they're the only originals. As for deals that didn't go through, this three-piece suit would have been the most expensive thing in the pawnshop, had Rick taken the deal.
On a trip outside of the shop to appraise this historical item, it was discovered that the suit was, indeed, one of George Washington's and was in miraculous condition. Originally from New York, Katie is used to a fast-paced lifestyle. She got her personal start with writing in the second grade, and carried that passion with her until she won a spot in her high school's published poetry book - but not before becoming the News Editor and columnist for the high school newspaper.
In college, she majored in English Literature with an emphasis in Political Science, soaking up most creativity and method from one of the last professors to study under famed beat poet Allen Ginsberg. The more she wrote, the more she learned about the world and, more importantly, herself. She has been writing professionally and has been published since the age of 19, and for nearly a decade has covered topics in entertainment, lifestyle, music news, video game reviews, food culture, and now has the privilege of writing and editing for TheTravel.
Rick was clearly awed by the drawings when he saw them in person. It was so different from any other children's book. Because Sendak never sold prints of his work for Where the Wild Things Are , the sketches were one of a kind.
This is still the most expensive item ever purchased in Pawn Stars history. The second-largest purchase in Pawn Stars history was a lot easier for the shop to verify the value of. When a customer rolled into the shop with a dolly loaded down with 3, ounces of silver in bars and coinage, the Harrisons knew they had a deal on their hands.
Because of the significant amount of money changing hands and the ease with which a scammer could fake a silver bar with a different metal at its core , Rick drilled into the center of the bars to determine that they were purely made of the precious metal. If the silver he extracted for testing turned a milky white color when exposed to the acid, it was pure.
The Harrisons had to spend big to get a luxury Lincoln Roadster built in the middle of the Great Depression. A beautifully maintained mint and cream-colored Roadster with a massive V engine hiding under its gigantic hood was too good to let leave the shop. The Roadster was an attempt by Lincoln's parent company Ford to lure drivers away from their competitors at Cadillac.
Rick and the Old Man went above and beyond that price point to make sure that they walked away from the deal with a car. They didn't have to wait long to get their money back, however. That's not to say you can wow the Pawn Stars stars with any old car. They have had to let many sellers walk in their 15 seasons on the air, when the price was just a bit too rich for their blood. Frequently, these stalemates came when a car was famous rather than just an antique.
The Harrisons had to make a tough decision when perhaps the most-famous car in American history fell into their laps. Simpson 's White Ford Bronco has been seen by millions of Americans, with the former NFL star leading Los Angeles police on the world's most well-known low-speed chase ahead of his eventual acquittal on murder charges.

Page signed a Gibson EDS guitar and this item naturally created a flutter because it has been authenticated as a genuine autograph. Albert Einstein was involved in the serious business of scientific research, but he had a playful side to him.
He mischievously stuck out his tongue in a photograph taken on his 72 nd birthday by a press photographer named Arthur Sasse. The event took place at Princeton University in March Einstein took many copies of this image but signed just one or two.
However, forgers imitated his signature and created many counterfeit copies of this iconic photograph. Experts proved that all of them were fake but in an authentic copy of the photo came up for sale. Therefore, when they both signed a baseball its value rocketed to astronomical heights. The famous autographed baseball is the only item signed together by the star couple.
Paradoxically, this signed contract is today worth a small fortune. The guitar genius never got to see the riches earned by his incredible musical talent. This is not surprising considering the fan following of the baseball superstar. However, the Babe Ruth collectible that takes the cake is a brand new baseball ball signed by the legend that went up for sale in December 8, is a black letter day in music history.
He returned a few hours later and fired five deadly shots at the music superstar sending him to his grave at the relatively young age of David Mark Chapman did not flee after carrying out his bloody act. In , a year before his death, President Abraham Lincoln signed 48 copies of the Emancipation Proclamation which ended slavery in the US.
