Had a feeling this katana was a fake going by the the trouble getting the Tsuka off and looks like a Seppa was missing hence the rattle from the Tsuba and Habaki, most mass produced katanas as this problem.
PSA might not grade that Ticket because its been stored in one of those bricks, it squishes the item and will either get sent back as Min size requirements not met or it may just get Authentic. Cards have this issue also.
I remember about the year 2001 i was in bed sleeping. The home shopping network was on and all i heard was last last time being offered. It was a set of Micheal Jordan baseball card. I spent $600 dollars on the 3 cards. My wife was pissed. I never bought anything off tv ever. They had a so-called rating. It's 2025 and they are only worth about $4 apiece. I keep them as a reminder is to never trust anyone not even pawn shops. So what is the real deal. Tell me. Love your channel 👍
I know right this clown doesn't know what he's talking about, he once got some costume version of the Nike Mag Back to the Future shoes from someone that you could still go online and purchase for $100 from a Halloween website, but he priced them for $400
A dull katana could also be an iaito: meant for Iaido practitioners. There are a wide variety of grades of iaito so there are options for new students as well as experienced practitioners.
Sure a lot of fun watching customers come and go! 🎉 Maybe 1 of these days, we'll visit Illinois again, make a trip up to Arthur Illinois, spend some time with the Amish, eat some fantastic food!

No they won't . I have 2 banners from the 2014 NBA finals similar to these giving to me by the San Antonio Spurs. They were giving them away to anyone who wanted them luckily I got 2 .
Samurai swords, katana or other variants, weren't made from Damascus steel. You only see the funny patterned metal variants, which are probably just cheap acid washes, in the high sacred temples of malls, gift shops and aliexpress marketplace sales.
What was the logo/mark on the katana? There were MANY katanas produced for WW2 as each officer and NCO was issued one if they did not have a family sword. They are known as Shin Gunto swords, they come in various types, have different markings, and are not sharp. Also antique katanas are not always signed either. It is known as 'mumei' if there is no signature, so no signature is not always indicative of a fake.
it's crazy to me that people say they paid good money for something they know nothing about!! do a little research before you spend decent money on something!
Im going to say that, without watching the video, a samurai sword from the Edo era (or earlier) Japan probably will never wind up in this, or any other, pawn shop.
Pete, regarding the Katana, I have an $8k 1600s early edo period katana and it naturally gets tight based on the season. the dryness in the air often shrinks the shirasaya around it. During wetter seasons, the wood expands again and it becomes easy to remove.
I really hate how EBAY has become the arbiter of what a value is of something. If I go and steal 10 items, list all 10 separately on 10 separate accounts sell them for cheap. Now someone behind me is gonna look them up and go "look see how much these sold for" I mean there is a way that prices can be manipulated. I really don't like that EBAY has become the pricing standard. How many items up for sale on EBAY were simply stolen and sold for 1/2 value, even sealed new? Just seems kind of ridiculous to me.
There is a video on TH-cam with a man and his child on a bike the kid in the trailer and the man cycling playing the song all dressed as mick myers suit and mask its hilarious 😂
I don't know if you are going to read this Pete but that NBA FINALS banner seems not real. All of the banners had a '98 on the bottom left indicating what year it was.
Glad to see the Bud Light mirror in the background has moved. It's a bad beer with bad graphic design. and I'm not a hater, i simply disliked the beer for 25 years. miller high life in a bottle was better. plenty of pilsners and lagers are on a shelf near you.

"I like big butts" as a ringtone... classy lol
And the "size matters" sweatshirt lmao.
I didn’t hear that when
he knows what he likes and isn't afraid to say it. I respect that
😂
It's a pawn shop, you expect classy customers?
19:16, wait a minute. Did you just admit to purchasing stolen goods?
🤣 I'm just playing. Nice video
I don't think it matters anymore, as the amount of time has already passed.
@@koilamaoh4238Yes, the Statute of Limitations has long passed.
When Pete says..."to be honest" it's usually a wrap.
"This is how you steer the boat"
Welcome back ruby! ❤
Yeah where was she?
I already feared the worst!
Man im asking myself wtf im watching this videos and ive seen so many of them, i think i found my new thing on youtube
Much love from Portugal
This was nice ,Pete ,Ryan,ruby and honey ,nice video,Mike also ,seemed like the old days ❤😊
Was so happy to see Ruby, and of course honey and Ms.walters.
Super happy it wasn't the size of a nickel, so we can get more videos too :)

I'll make it worse for you, that $600 would be over $6k now if you had it invested in the smp 500 instead of spent on those cards.
Please don’t remind me
HSN isn't known for selling items of rarity. It's a shame. Thanks for sharing so others can learn from your mistake. 🙏
@@voodoochild8697 I'll make it ever worse: that $600 would be around $150,000,000 if you had invested it on Bitcoin when it first came out...
I love that Goose island mirror you have.
Nice Goose Island mirror, they make my favourite beer. Goose Island ‘Midway’ IPA 🍺
Judging by your passion, even if you did own a 4.5 million dollar coin, you would still continue bringing us amazing videos!
Jordans last game was in 2003..His last game with the Bulls was in 1998..
I know right this clown doesn't know what he's talking about, he once got some costume version of the Nike Mag Back to the Future shoes from someone that you could still go online and purchase for $100 from a Halloween website, but he priced them for $400
Hey Pete, Jay over here
Great video Pete ❤
A close up of the sword would've been nice......
Pretty expensive knife to cut your morning bagel with. Lots of fun watching your videos.
"I do believe it runs"
>"yeah, but you're speculating"
"Yeah."
😂
Jordan's last game was in 1998 (or 2003 if you count the Wizards).
I saw his last game in Boston against the Celtics as a wizard....he was still incredible
A dull katana could also be an iaito: meant for Iaido practitioners. There are a wide variety of grades of iaito so there are options for new students as well as experienced practitioners.
if it was dull it would be completely square for sparring with armor, its just not sharp or well sharpened he said ..

NBA will be coming for that back lol
I was thinking the same thing. Isn't it stolen property? Pete may need to be careful
Yeah I heard the nba is broke
No they won't . I have 2 banners from the 2014 NBA finals similar to these giving to me by the San Antonio Spurs. They were giving them away to anyone who wanted them luckily I got 2 .
@@sidvicious332only thing broke was syd vicious wrestling career 😂
Love your channel. Was honey in a cat treat coma at the end of this one... she's so cute and hello from Corsicana texas.
ALWAYS GO FULL TANG
love you and the show all the best from the uk herne bay kent peace
that guy in the bears gear wasn’t interested in what you were saying at all. whatsoever
You sell the Bud light mirror?
Yeah it's gone sold last Wednesday

I don't think the lay-person can tell the difference between damascus steel and the tempering lines and steel grain of a san mai produced katana.
Considering how many knives he moves, I think Pete might BE the person to ask if something is a pattern-welded, crucible Damascus or a decoration.
Cool video. Greetings from Sweden.
Always nice to see Ray Liotta's brother on the show. Cool guy. 😉
Time stamp?
Samurai's wife called him while he was doin business. 😆 Baby Got Back!
Do you have any good deals on any Traxxas or Losi stuff?
no katana is made of Damascus steel, it's made of Japanese tamahagane steel. Katana are only made from that
Damascus is just a process of marrying metals of any kind.
Hey Pete. Do u have any bench made pocket knives for sale in shop?

Sorry to hear about the coin, but thank god it was fake and we still get these videos
Hey Pete!
Sick as ringtone 😂
The little stand held the remote sensor bar on Nintendo wii ??
I’d love to buy that engine. I would like to get it running restore for fun. How do I make this happen
Me too...but I'm in Rhode Island...it's well worth it
When I was a kid, any action figure that had holes on the bottom of their feet meant it could fly
what.
@@vinny-zm5vo I imagined the holes were thrusters that propelled them
Could that plastic piece be a spoiler for a model car? (I think he was holding upside down)
Woo hoo first hour crew!
What is the name of the coin?
The way Honey is looking at you from 1;20-1;27..pure kitty love
Still no update on the figurines from last video?
Thank bejeebus, Pete didn't find that million dollar coin...we still get vids!!
it's crazy to me that people say they paid good money for something they know nothing about!! do a little research before you spend decent money on something!
I like this guy
10:27 Pete, you're the man, thank you for giving him the hint not $120 😁He may be able to take $200 for the watch on fb marketplace.
Pete won't fork out on something he has many of in the back 🙊
Any dale Earhart sr stuff
I’d be careful if that finals banner was stolen from the stadium.
Apparently Pete's dealing with stolen goods now😂
He reminds me of Ed O'Neil/Al Bundy from Married With Children.. the Polish version 😂
The sir mix a lot ring tone!?
I knew Pete saw the sword was a reproduction as soon as he grabbed the sword by the blade. He knew, but had to show the customer and us.
I’ve got a sword that’s incredibly sharp and with the makers signature but I have no idea what it actually is 🤷🏼♂️
They stopped making the seagull outboard in 1996 so many are still in use

Hi Honey 😸 hi Ruby 🦜 love ta❤😘
Chicagoans conveniently forget that Jordan played for the Wizards

I would have passed on that motor for sure, that or 60 bucks to be safe.
That screw down case with the Jordan ticket in it will DESTROY the value. Take it out IMMEDIATELY!!!
Plastic was a sprew from the plastic factory.
NBA Banner is Stolen?
Yep
So he admitted stealing it from the stadium 😂 stadium may want there merchandise back lol
It's a little plastic thing you were correct.
There is a video on TH-cam with a man and his child on a bike the kid in the trailer and the man cycling playing the song all dressed as mick myers suit and mask its hilarious 😂
It would be easy to tell take off the handle and look for name on tang.

💯👍
"i mean,do you know what i mean"hehehe
Mike should move in, he's always there somewhere.
Anyone know if that engine prop is worth anything? Just curious
19:11 so he stole it!
My reaction as well.
Teams would give them away . I got 2 from the 2014 NBA finals .
I thought a Damascus pattern is NOT usual for a Japanese blade?
Most Samurai swords were mass produced for World War 2 - these are not worth nearly as much as a hand crafted and hand forged one.

Amen. Fellow champagne drinker here.
I think people just bring things because they want to be on the show
A real sword the bamboo pin will come out and the tang will have a makers mark
I haven't watched this channel in quite a while. Does anyone know whatever happen to Vicky. I hope she's doing well.
I just realized this guy kind of sounds like Ibrahimovic
So that dude stole the banner
Is it selfish that I now hope Pete DOESN'T get 4 million dollars so I can keep watching the videos? xD Sorry Pete

Screwdown holders like the one the ticket is in smash cards and make them "altered" I wonder what they would say about the ticket...
Horror collectibles sell easy
I have a feeling if the coin was real the videos would still come out just maybe less often and way more fishing videos lol
Awe Pete you cant retire Bruh...lol.
