  • Hey, how's it going good? How you doing? What do we got?

  • This is a Tory Hanzo sword signed by David Carradine who played bill in the movie Kill Bill?

  • sweet

  • Love the movie David Carradine played the can of a group of assassins. They all had really weird names black mamba

  • The whole snake thing was just kind of silly. Yeah

  • These swords were signed by David Carradine, probably about 10 or 11 years ago

  • I used to collect swords, but now they're just collecting dust. I'm looking to get about 2,200

  • I want to sell these swords because I'm hoping some

  • Collector who loves the movies who loves Kill Bill can properly display them in some beautiful place

  • Kilvo couldn't they came at a better time for David Carradine? The guy was pretty much broke

  • Quentin Tarantino just happened to be a kung-fu hand and pretty much offered him a role

  • He didn't really get paid all that much for it

  • But it kind of brought him back into the limelight where people were actually paying him to sign swords and do signings again. Yeah

  • Kill Bill was originally just supposed to be one film. But by the time Tarantino was done the movie was four hours

  • So the studio released it in two different parts

  • They ended up being a really good decision because both films killed it at the box office

  • So they're replicas yeah, this one is the demon sword, which was Bill's sword

  • And this one is the bride's rampage sword. Okay?

  • You mind if I take a look at it now, go ahead

  • Okay, the swords aren't really much man they're made in China and the blades made to look like it's tempered

  • It's not really don't know I agree

  • What are you looking to do with them I'm Selim okay any idea of how much you want for him 2200

  • Okay, that's a that's quite a bit of money. Mm-hmm. I can tell you that before he died

  • These were going for about 80 bucks apiece

  • So I'll tell you what

  • let me have a buddy of mine from a PSA come down and

  • he knows the autograph world better than anybody and he can tell me if

  • Since he's died if they've gone up that much or what the deal is. All right. All right, great back. Hey, that's good

  • I think it's great that an expert's being called in because I'll get the signatures

  • Authenticated and I might learn some more things about this piece

  • Well, I got some signed David Carradine swords, oh cool

  • um, when you talk about like the 70s cult classic type actors, you know, he was a you know,

  • B movie guy he did over 100 movies ended up being pretty popular

  • I mean he had the whole kung-fu thing

  • and then once Kill Bill came out his

  • Popularity went insane for a few years and then he ends up dying in a strange way

  • Yeah, but you know people star really into this guy

  • David Carradine carries a little weight within the autograph community

  • I mean he kind of went through a period where no one really cared about him and then he went through a big

  • Explosion where he got popular again after Kill Bill, he was really fan friendly. So there's still plenty of it out there in the marketplace

  • What are your concerns Corey I've had the David Carradine signed a Torrey Hanzo replicas before he died

  • They were gone for like 80 bucks. I don't know what they're worth now

  • Oh, yeah, that's usually the thing is them somebody passes away their signature ends up going up in value

  • I just want to do a few things want to just take a look at the signatures, make sure they're alive

  • All right, that's the first one

  • second one

  • same

  • Kind of exact pattern on the definite life. There's no doubt about that. Looks like a sharpie

  • The next thing I want to do is just take a look at a couple examples of a signature

  • The guy was pretty sloppy when he signed him. So very simple you could see here an authentic example

  • I see this big D here and I'm starting with that you get the heavy lean

  • He curls in on both of these C's and it's just kind of sloppy so live Inc

  • No problem with that signatures match perfectly

  • Definitely authentic no doubt about that. Okay?

  • So what do you think? They're worth? Well are these rare? No, are they cool? Absolutely. I

  • Put the value as a pair of these

  • Right about $600

  • It's better than what it was. Yes, sure good to see you. Thank you. Yep. Good luck Thanks

  • The thing with the swords is I would classify them as manufacturing memorabilia

  • They're really neat-looking pieces and they looked like the ones they use in the movie

  • But it's just kind of a manufactured piece and he sat down and signed them in a production line

  • So they're really not that rare. They're just kind of cool

  • It's a pretty big jump to 2,200 man. Yeah really willing to take

  • you know, it's unfortunately I didn't I didn't really expect them to be worth so little

  • You know, I would give you like 200 bucks for them

  • Yeah, I don't know. I was thinking like, you know 1,200. It'd be like my bottom, you know

  • 1,200 I

  • We're not gonna be able to make a deal now and I appreciate I appreciate it thanks. They've never given

  • $200 that's just way too low. I mean, I understand where they're coming from. But in my opinion these are worth much much more

  • You

Hey, how's it going good? How you doing? What do we got?
