we got there I'm gonna jersey
autographed by Lou Gehrig oh wow yeah
how big was Lou Gehrig that Jersey looks
like you fit with big Papa's legs I came
into the pawn shop today to try and sell
my Lou Gehrig signed Jersey well Lou
Gehrig the most famous baseball players
back in his day but stitched it's ripped
in a few places and stuff but yes but
it's signed by Lou Gehrig how'd you come
across this man some guys back in
Arkansas it's all farmers were in their
70s so they decided to sell off their
sports memorabilia this was probably a
high school Jersey maybe college it
probably had a patch at one time here
where it's torn off it's been someone's
several times that's the way they did
back in the day they just kept using the
same Jersey over and over so it's been
used quite a bit I don't know and if I
could prove that he ever put it on
believe me I probably had a hundred
grand out of it without even blinking an
eye anything from the Yankees is highly
collectible in a signed jersey by one of
the biggest baseball stars in history I
mean this thing could go through the
roof he won several World Series the
most famous probably with murderers row
group would be 1927 the team would Babe
Ruth right absolutely
he was kind of overshadowed by babe yeah
and Babe Ruth signed a lot more stuff
than he did so he's really very
collectible because he signed very few
items and this is like the only Jersey
I've ever seen that he's signed you got
any paperwork or anything with it yeah
I've got two actually three certificates
of authenticity with real yeah okay all
right well give me an idea how much
money you're looking to get out of it
well I'd like to get 10 out of it a
hunter
like for my man family here to grow a
brain but before I drop a bunch of money
on a Jersey the generally kind of leery
of sports collectibles let me call my
dad up see if he wants to come down and
take a look at it and we'll kind of go
from there
sure all right let me give a call the
sports world's full of fake merchandise
so I got a call someone who's literally
seen it all
and that person it's my dad what'd you
think
um does this framed up like this one you
got it no it was not so you framed it up
yes is there anything on the other side
of Jersey yeah it says Marcille it's
nice cool team Jersey or something yeah
it's the only Jersey I've ever seen
signed from where it's fine to imagine
some kids that could just sign my Jersey
and then get that number and he got any
paperwork oh yeah I've had certified by
AAU which is here locally in Las Vegas
and then I sent out to an auction in
Pennsylvania and then I had a certified
again my stats which is another sports
Authenticator
[Music]
everything looks legit to me it looks
real you look up online what lou gehrig
signatures going for I got an idea okay
cuz it's not a Yankees jersey I know
alright
don't spend too much more money when it
comes to sports memorabilia it's all
about having the correct paperwork and
not only does this guy have one
certificate of authenticity
he's got three from three very reputable
companies I know this jerseys legit and
I know it's gonna be worth a lot of
money so give me a realistic idea of
what you're looking to get out of it
I guess I'd take seven so I'd offer you
about two I'm seeing this how I gotta
sell this thing for a profit
right yeah two's way too low I can't do
too um it's a hell of a piece and I'd
love to have it in here when you're just
gonna have to work with me a little bit
more I mean really I'd do it
heartbreakingly four five you know and
I'm really scared to do it but I'll go
up to three but honest to god that's
really the best I'm gonna do okay well
I'll tell you I really really really
don't want to do it at three but with
the economy the way it is
and needing the money I'll let it go at
three all right let's go do some
paperwork
alright you know I wonder more for it
but yeah now that I'm taking the 3 grand
I have in my pocket I'm happy I
you
