  • RICK HARRISON: So who do you think was the best president?

  • Franklin Pierce.

  • He was a terrible president.

  • Who's your favorite president, Chum?

  • Samuel L. Jackson.

  • [laughter]

  • RICK HARRISON: What do you got?

  • I have President Johnson's golf ball.

  • All right.

  • So how do you know this is President Johnson's golf ball?

  • MAN: Because he hit my dad with it down in Mexico.

  • [laughter]

  • Give me the whole story from the beginning.

  • President Johnson hit over the trees into my father

  • and never yelled for it.

  • So when it hit him, he bent over,

  • picked it up, put it in his pocket.

  • When President Johnson came over drunk off his ass,

  • he goes, just keep the ball.

  • RICK HARRISON: How much did you want for it?

  • MAN: I was hoping to get a couple hundred.

  • RICK HARRISON: All right.

  • Let me get a buddy of mine in here, let him look at it.

  • He'll know exactly what it is the second he sees it.

  • OK.

  • Basically, the question is, why are Lyndon

  • B. Johnson's initials on this?

  • With presidential items, once you're in the White House,

  • you get all sorts of cool freebies,

  • anything from glasses, pens.

  • And in this case, he obviously got some golf balls.

  • So do you think that was the president's golf ball?

  • MAN: There's absolutely no way to be 100% sure.

  • First of all, this company is no longer in business.

  • What I can tell you about it based

  • on other items I have seen from other presidents,

  • it is true to the period.

  • And I've never seen variations of them.

  • So it does appear to be certainly genuine.

  • All right. So what do you think it's worth?

  • MAN: I'd probably put this right around $500.

  • - OK. - All right.

  • Thanks for coming in, man. I appreciate it.

  • COREY HARRISON: Thanks a lot. - You got it, Corey.

  • RICK HARRISON: Hey, man. The ball.

  • The ball.

  • All right.

  • So how much do you want for it?

  • Well, since he said it's worth about $500, like $300.

  • RICK HARRISON: How about $225.

  • You know, it'll sell, but it's not going to be a quick sell.

  • Could you do $275?

  • You know, it's President Johnson's golf ball.

  • RICK HARRISON: I'll tell you what. $250.

  • $275, you've got a deal.

  • I'll go $250.

  • That's the most I can go.

  • I can live with $250.

  • RICK HARRISON: All right. $250.

  • I have an original Lincoln parlor card.

  • That is the basis of the Lincoln penny.

  • That's pretty amazing.

  • The ones that he signed, I've only heard

  • stories of these existing.

  • I'm not aware there's another one.

  • If this is truly the only Lincoln card out there,

  • it's going to be worth a lot of money.

  • And being the history nerd that I am,

  • this is one collectible I almost have to have.

  • How much do you want for it?

  • I think a fair price is $100,000.

  • That's a lot of cents.

  • [laughter]

  • And I did have it authenticated a number of years

  • ago.

  • Well, you got it done from PSA, which

  • makes it legit and everything.

  • So I know it's real.

  • The thing is let me get someone in here who will have a better

  • idea of what it's valued. MAN: All right.

  • Wow, that's really an astounding piece.

  • I mean, really, if you're collecting

  • presidential signed photographs, this

  • is at the top of the pyramid.

  • Rick, I do believe it is genuinely signed

  • by our 16th president himself.

  • What's it worth?

  • MAN: You could probably put a price of $150,000.

  • It's worth even more than I thought it was.

  • OK, thanks.

  • Sure.

  • I told you $100,000, but you could make money

  • even if you gave me $120,000.

  • I'll make this really, really simple for you.

  • I'll give you 100 grand.

  • I won't go a penny more.

  • That's what I'll go.

  • I think 110 is a fair price.

  • I'm comfortable at $100,000, and that's it.

  • MAN: We have a deal.

  • Sweet.

  • AUSTIN RUSSELL: Hey, what do you got here?

  • We've got an AccuFlex driver shaft that was designed

  • for President Bill Clinton.

  • It has the presidential seal right here.

  • AUSTIN RUSSELL: Oh, like golf. MAN: Yeah, golf.

  • Driver shaft.

  • So you're bringing me in Bill Clinton's shaft.

  • Shaft, yeah.

  • Sure, you can make jokes about this all day long.

  • COREY HARRISON: So what are you looking to get out of it?

  • I'm looking to get right at about $1,100.

  • OK.

  • Do you mind if I have a buddy of mine come down

  • and take a look at it? MAN: Yeah.

  • No problem.

  • DAN WULKAN: What do we got here?

  • Bill Clinton's shaft.

  • Nice.

  • If President Clinton actually use this shaft,

  • this will be worth well over 10 grand.

  • You know, this shaft looks mint.

  • It doesn't look like it's been used by anyone.

  • There's really no way to prove that it was in his hands

  • or even if he knew it existed.

  • So I would appraise this at $600.

  • So, like you heard Dan say, $600

  • would be retail on this thing.

  • I mean, about $100.

  • MAN: $100?

  • $100 is what I can do.

  • MAN: The lowest I would like to take is about $600.

  • I can offer you $100. MAN: Yeah.

  • For $100, I'd really rather just go head back to my store

  • and see what I can get for it. RICK HARRISON: Hi.

  • How are you doing? - Good.

  • I have something pretty interesting

  • here, a signed check from James Madison while he was president.

  • So how do you want for it?

  • I'd like $5,000. RICK HARRISON: OK.

  • Let me have someone take a look at it,

  • make sure everything checks out.

  • And we'll go from there. - OK.

  • STEVE GRAD: James Madison was a big part of the United States,

  • its formation, the government.

  • He's a former lawyer and a really brilliant man.

  • Really, one of the reasons why government

  • runs now like it does is because of James Madison.

  • These roughly fall at about $2,000.

  • RICK HARRISON: Thanks, dude.

  • I'll give you $1,000 for it. - No.

  • [laughter]

  • RICK HARRISON: What's your best price?

  • I'd take-- $1,500 would be reasonable for me.

  • I'd go $1,200.

  • That's the most I could go.

  • I mean, I just have to make money off it.

  • $1,300.

  • $1,200.

  • I'll take it.

  • Sweet.

RICK HARRISON: So who do you think was the best president?
