Some guy brought in his Willie Mosconi memorabilia to the famous pawn shop. I had to record it on my phone, sorry for the volume and poor quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1kaBVFjoyI
I watched that tonight also ... Rick got a signed book, 9 ball, picture, and a 1x1 case by Willie ... complete with a show case for the whole package ... for $450 I think? I would gladly pay that just to hang it up in my game room.
I noticed that the cue wasn't signed and was barely mentioned... made me wonder what was going on there.

willie's autograph is unusually common, he was signing things at exhibitions for decades. sounds like rick overpaid for this stuff.
This is very true. The book is probably not a first edition; the case and stick are no good. The autographed ball is something, though why Willie would sign a 9ball -- a game he hated -- is beyond me. I'd estimate the value at around $100 -150, mostly for the ball.

My brother is going to Vegas next month, and he said he's going to that pawn shop, just because he, too, loves that TV show, . . .
That pawn shop and it's tourists are starting to cause street traffic jams on Vegas Blvd from people trying to get in the parking lot. Sometimes forty people at a time lined up out front waiting to get in.

Wow! Are you kidding me? Business must be good. LOL
I'd love to go there, but I'll have to be sure to go late at night, I guess.
I read in the smut mags that Rick's son, "Big Hoss," got in a bar fight a week or so ago, got arrested, but they let him out the next day after he sobered up.
I sure as heck wouldn't want to tangle with that guy. :shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:
He looks a little like Shannon Daulton. Maybe that's why I like him.
He does favor Shannon some..lol...as far as him getting in a barfight...I never had a problem with big guys like that...it was the smaller in shape ones that had cardio for days that you had to watchout for...If it went past 5 or 10 minutes somebody better bust out the oxegen mask..lol:grin:
Lou...That is exactly the same thing I told my wife, as we were watching last night. Not even sure if the signed 9ball would bring that much. Nice wood display case, but definitely not worth $450 to me. They have had expensive cues on before, as I have seen one of them eyeballing either a Cog or Hunter with a jeweler's loupe, in some of the rolling footage of the crowds in the store.
