Pro Tip - the easiest way to walk out of a casino with $10K is to walk in with $20K
Yes, avoid all the big casinos. It's all rigged. They love taking your money all day long.
@VitalVegas Tomorrow, I’m attempting to play a hand of blackjack at every casino on the strip. Any advice on north vs south start or guesses on how long it will take? (12+ hours?) Trying to avoid Uber/Lyft as long as possible but will use the tram.
Hulk Hogan as The Ultimate Male Thunderlips in Rocky 3 RIP
RIP to the legend @HulkHogan fond memories from years gone by Including BHS @pawnstars filming at the @nsccshow in 2019



In addition, Hulk Hogan was outstanding as Thunderlips in Rocky III
@Steve_Grad One thing I’ll always be puzzled by. Take a Ruth/Gehrig baseball (say it’s $20K). Cut the Ruth from the ball, stick it in a “1/1” card (destroy the ball and other sigs) and it’s $40K+. Make it make sense.
I could t agree more and I feel the same. It’s kinda crazy

What Cowherd is saying in a nutshell is that there's very little actual greatness in LeBron's career. He's an opportunist who's tried to mimic Michael Jordan. LeBron's career is an example that greatness can't faked, cheated or bought. He got all them stats and all them…
I think we will see a temporary bump but he was always easy in person and did plenty of signings and cd sales.
Hey Steve, does Ozzy's sig increase in value at all with his death?
This is like LeBron breaking down basketball
Hunter Biden breaks down the difference between crack & cocaine and why crack is so addictive
I've seen hundreds, he did enough but not all the time. On the other hand, Jordan rarely if ever added #23. Those are truly rare.
I’ve haven’t seen many mantle signed with a 7. Would that be a giveaway too? Like Jordan rarely ever signed inscribes 23
Amazing how much I've picked up over the years watching your segments on Pawn Stars. First thing I did when I saw that Brady ball picture was zoom in and look for start and stop spots and the pressure of the sig!
It’s really not but I see what you’re saying about the public…it’s a bad forgery but they flooded the market years ago and are still floating around
That Mantle signature is spot on, geez. The uninformed folk buying this stuff has no chance.
Could be, but I have seen a few others that look like they were done right on the ball.
stitching looks awful to me. poor quality baseball or was the ball unstitched, the cowhide piece placed on an autopen, then restitched back together?
Mike, hey they look horrific to me. Sizing, spacing, baseline, shading...etc etc etc. Poor forgeries. Luckily i'm not with him today! J/K!
They look pretty real Steve. What’s the give away? If your working with Brian today tell him Mike said hi 👍
It's a Brett Lemieux forgery done by autopen.
Please tell me thats not authenticated?
Thank you
I’m not just trying to pump grad (I’ve been critical of Sig review response times in the past). I’m just saying follow the man where he goes because no one is better. No one. There is piece of mind with his authenticity. Always has been.
I will say this. This is not an easy job to have. There are plenty of Monday morning QB's everywhere (and that's fine) but you sure learn over time to tune out most people and do your job and continue to succeed and do good at it. It's been 23+ years professionally of doing…
So much blind trust in 1st party authenticators that haven’t been in business in 5+ years.
There are likely more fake auto's of each than real autographs.
Could pretty clearly tell between the amount of Mantle and Ali that there was no conceivable way they were authentic. After a google search of their name revealed their fraud scheme it was an easy decision to make
Lot of bad people selling Mantle's in that state and Florida. One guy still at it who thinks no one knows. At some point I need to put him on blast
No, starts with an R
