The Harrison family returns with another round of historical haggling in “Pawn Barons.” This time, the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop might be welcoming rock ‘n’ roll royalty. A customer strolls in with a vintage camera, claiming it holds the very first footage of a young Elvis Presley. If authentic, this celluloid treasure could be a major payday. But separating fact from fiction is Rick’s specialty.

Meanwhile, Chumlee gets his Indiana Jones on, investigating a mysterious fossil that may or may not be a dinosaur egg. It’s a risky proposition, but the payoff could be enormous. Back at the shop, Rick sets his sights on a Standard Oil stock certificate, hoping to strike liquid gold. Corey rounds out the episode by examining tickets from the infamous Holyfield/Tyson “Bite Fight”—a piece of sports history with its own unique story.

“Pawn Barons” offers the usual blend of historical artifacts, pop culture memorabilia, and the Harrison family’s signature brand of shrewd negotiation. Will they score big with Elvis, or will it be another case of “no deal”?
