Pawn Stars: Rick Harrison Bought A Check Signed By a Mafia Boss

In an episode, a customer named AI received a check signed by a mafia member, and Pawn Stars boss Rick Harrison became intrigued when he heard the name Gambino. Rick added, “Usually, I don’t buy stuff from guys like this because the guy was a murderer, you know.” Harrison then asked the customer about how he got the check. He revealed that it was a gift. AI further added that he is someone who collects a lot of Mafia memorabilia, including mob-related items.

​He then continues, telling Rick that he is looking forward to getting a thousand dollars for the particular item. Furthermore, Harrison spoke about the mafia and added, “Sicilian mobster who came to New York City in the 1920s and created a national crime syndicate.” Rick then grew concerned about the item’s authenticity. He called a forensic document examiner to look at the check.

​After examining the item, the expert said, “Well, I see we have the name Carlo Gambino. Also, it looks like that’s George Schiller.” He explained that Schiller was a partner of Carlo and a Russian businessman, but not officially part of the mob. He noted that for certain collectors, the check holds a lot of value. The examiner then continued and explained that a company fronting for Gambino’s operation had issued the check.

​“I’ve studied Carlo Gambino’s signature. There’s a lotta things we’re gonna look for,” he added. After taking a closer look at the signature, the examiner confirmed its full authenticity. When Rick asked about its value, the examiner estimated it could be worth over $1000. Once the examiner left, Rick negotiated the price. AI asked for $800, but Harrison managed to cut the price down to $400. After some bargaining, they closed the deal at $500. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for all Pawn Stars updates.
