History Channel’s “Pawn Stars” returns with an episode that finds Rick Harrison in full deal-making mode. Forget sentimental trinkets and dusty antiques; this time, it’s all about the big-ticket items. In “No More Mr. Nice Buys,” Rick sets his sights on some seriously unique pieces, including a stage outfit purportedly worn by shock-rock legend Alice Cooper. Will Rick’s “tough negotiator” persona be enough to secure the goods, or will he get schooled by a seller who knows the true value of rock and roll history?
Meanwhile, Chumlee, never one to miss out on the action, aims to acquire a seven-foot-tall Deadpool Pez dispenser. Because, honestly, who wouldn’t want that? This purchase could be a stroke of genius or a colossal waste of space, depending on how you look at it. One thing’s for sure: It’ll be entertaining to watch Chumlee attempt to haggle over a giant plastic superhero head filled with candy.
Adding a touch of athleticism to the proceedings, Rick and Corey pursue a 1988 Winter Olympics torch. It’s a piece of sporting history, sure, but is it worth the asking price? The negotiations could get heated as Rick and Corey try to strike gold (or at least a reasonable deal) on this fiery artifact.
But the real drama unfolds when Rick faces an old nemesis over some MetaZoo cards. Given Rick’s past experiences with questionable collectibles, this encounter has the potential for disaster. Will he fall victim to another bad deal, or will he finally emerge victorious?
Tune in to History this Wednesday at 9:00 PM to see if Rick gets burned or brings home the bacon (and the torch, and the Pez dispenser, and maybe even Alice Cooper’s leather pants).
