- Well, I've never
It's between 40 and 50 million years old.
If this thing is genuine, there's no question, I want it.
Ah [bleep].
This sucks.
Dude, I'm disappointed.
I have my doubts.
Well, it's a bad day now.
But I have to be cautious.
There is a ton of fakes out there.
What we got?
It's a baby rattle from the early 1800s.
A baby rattle.
It's sterling silver, got the whistle and some bells on it.
The kids would teethe on this end of the pearl.
Is that why people had such bad teeth back in the day?
Must've been.
RICK: Well, let me take a look.
If you look at the hallmark on it, it's a later hallmark.
It's from 1860 to, like, 1890, so we know
it's not really early stuff.
They used, like, a pewter solder,
which is like a copper and tin.
It's not a silver solder because you can see it
turning green right in there.
Really?
OK, well, here's my opinion of it.
It's fake.
Really?
There's people that are faking baby rattles?
People fake everything, OK?
It looks like it's been reproduced by somebody.
It just doesn't look right.
CUSTOMER: OK.
I'm going to pass.
CUSTOMER: I think he's wrong because I think they wouldn't
put that big a piece of pearl on something that was faked,
and I don't see why somebody would
fake something that unique.
I have a Babe Ruth baseball card.
Where did you get this?
DEREK: I found it in our shed in our backyard.
RICK: You just found it in a shed?
It was in a lockbox.
It was my grandfather's.
Do you have an idea what you wanted for it?
$65,000.
RICK: This is the big thing with a Babe Ruth baseball card.
They've been faking these things since the '40s and the '50s,
so I'm not going to say it's real until I
have someone else look at it.
You got an old Babe Ruth card.
Man, you got to be kidding.
This is just awesome.
So is it real?
We're going to find out right now, man.
All right.
What we're looking for, we need
to analyze the paper stock and just overall feel and texture.
Now as far as the value on this, nothing.
What we have here is not a real card.
The whole texture's off, the coating on the surface,
and especially the printing.
Even though the technology was pretty weak back then,
it was a lot more clear than what it appears
on the Babe Ruth card here.
So this is without a doubt a reprint.
Ah [bleep].
$65,000, that close, but no cigar, you know,
I'm just disappointed.
So I have some poetry here written by Jimi Hendrix.
COREY: So how'd you get this?
I started working with a relative of Jimi, Ricky Hendrix
here.
I spent a lot of money promoting these guys
and I became part of the family with them,
and so they gave me this poetry.
I'll tell you what, I'll have someone check it out.
Sounds good.
This is what we got.
It's supposed to be some poetry by Jimi Hendrix.
OK, well, clearly we got a situation
where we're dealing with a--
a felt tip pen.
Almost all the poems or lyrics I've seen of him
has been done with a ballpoint pen.
Another thing we have to look at is the letter structures.
The capital I has a very squiggly line from the top bar.
That's not something I've seen before.
It's usually block type of lettering.
Let's take a look at the signature itself.
The handwriting is about the same size of the signature.
In every case, it's three or four times
larger, much more flamboyant.
The last name seems to be, you know, printed type style.
He would always write in cursive.
I'm seeing a lot of different problems with it,
and I can guarantee you that this is 100% not authentic.
Yeah, I'd like to sell a picture of Mary and Abraham
Lincoln from, I believe, 1863.
RICK: So how much do you want for this?
I feel it's one in a million, so I'm asking a million.
Whoa.
So I can call someone and take a look at it.
So here we go.
Gorgeous.
Do you mind if I take a look at it?
Absolutely.
Facial comparison software.
You can see that this woman has sort of different eyebrows.
I mean, I don't want to be difficult here,
but I feel I'm an expert.
I look for other things besides just face.
I look at the clothes. I look at the background.
I check-- - Yes, so do I.
This is your career.
You have a right to discredit yourself.
A lot of people come to me saying that they have--
They'll be coming to me in 10 years.
I'm-- honest to God.
So your opinion is it's not real.
It's not.
I've got this old Colt revolver.
It's been in my family, and I was looking
to see what I could get for it.
You know, the condition is really nice on it,
and I'd really like to get a buddy of mine
down here to take a look at it.
All right, the first thing off the bat,
these are usually numbered.
Yeah, but it's numbered inside.
If you take apart this piece right here,
you'll see the-- the number.
This?
Yeah.
OK.
There you go.
Hmm.
Well, I've never seen one of these numbered here,
this connector rod.
I can just tell you I don't like the way
the numbers are stamped.
They're usually marked right here.
It's supposed to also say "US" below the number.
If for some reason I'm wrong about all these other things
and it's still an original set from Colt,
it should at least fit together really, really well.
You know, it's functional.
You could take it to the range and shoot it.
But it's not a good fit.
COREY: So the stock's not worth anything?
No.
[grumbles]
I got something I'd like to sell.
I think it's a little bit older than dirt.
It's between 40 and 50 million years old.
So what I have is a piece of Baltic amber
with a tarantula in it.
CHUMLEE: I actually have a gemstone expert here.
- All right. - Hold on.
Jeff!
What's up, man?
Piece of Baltic amber with a tarantula.
He's got some paperwork.
It's a tarantula?
Yeah.
Tell me about this paperwork.
Where did you get this from?
Yeah, I sent it off to Berkeley and
to the entomology department.
Honestly, I don't think this would be the correct test
to define if this is Amber or not,
but who I do trust would be GIA.
They are the world's foremost authority in gem grading
and gem identification, and this is
where I would send it to see if it's actually natural or not.
If you want, you can pay for us to send it.
OK.
Does it cost a lot to do that?
JEFF: It costs about 200 dollars to send it away.
Well, that sounds good.
I'll do that.
RICK: Chum.
Yeah?
You helped this gentlemen?
Oh yeah, this guy.
Jeff probably got the results back.
So what did the test results say?
Would you like to do the honors?
Yeah, let's read this.
OK.
They say it is plastic.
What?
Plastic.
MADISON: I was really surprised that I
have a fake piece of amber, and I'm also out $200.
This sucks.
