I stumbled on this website while searching for something else. Has anyone else seen this?

Laurie,

This makes me nervous. Pawn Stars is just another bad realtiy-TV-type show that wants people to believe in the provenance of items. The "experts" they bring in are sometimes laughable--one guy comes in with a gigantic sample case, out of which he only takes a magnifying glass to verify some signature! This is another way in which people are getting a sometimes distorted view of actual history. Shame on the History Channel for what it has done over the past several years! What do you think, Laurie? Others out there?
