Iā€™d love to have that Armour security guard badge. Dad went to Wisconsin on the GI Bill then was a chemist in Amourā€™s stock yards in the late '40s/early '50s. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > IIRC there was an episode that involved Soviet era police memorabilia that the Pawn Shop couldnā€™t buy because even though it had happened many years before and in another country it was still stolen property. Well, that guy admitted that he stole the hat out of the back seat of a police car while the soviet police guy was inside sleeping. That wasnā€™t too hard for Rick to decide upon. One thing that I really hope doesnā€™t continue: yes, I know that Subway subtly sponsored this show - Iā€™ve seen them casually mention going once or twice. I donā€™t ever recall before seeing a **five-minute scene** where they all sat around and talked about Subway Breakfast sandwiches. ā€œWhereā€™s my Subway?ā€ You donā€™t get one - Chumlee worked the night shift" ā€œWhat you get Rick?ā€ ā€œSteak and Cheese. Itā€™s delicious!ā€ That was insulting. Iā€™m also curious to see how long it takes / how much Rick is going to get for that 1930ā€™s Lincoln convertible that he paid $95,000 for. ---

With the recent exception of the Hemingway book sale to George S., I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen a sale amount mentioned. Rick made $200.00 profit on the book if I remember right. ---

History Channel is now showing ads for _Pawn Stars_ merchandise, but the [Gold & Silver polo shirt](http://shop.history.com/gold-silver-polo-shirt-black/detail.php?p=286131&v=history_show_pawn-stars) only comes in Small and Medium. Whatā€™s up with that? Iā€™d be very surprised if the guys from the show could fit into anything smaller than an XXL. Thereā€™s a reason Coreyā€™s nickname isnā€™t Small-To-Medium Hoss. ---

I seriously doubt Hoss or Corey could wear an XXL without it being uncomfortably tight. Even the old man wears a size 48 jeans (it was on one episode). Trivia: Rick said theyā€™re contract with History Channel promises never to show any images (including snapshots on a desk in the background) of ā€˜The Old Ladyā€™, Rickā€™s wife, his young son (elementary school age), or any of the Pawn Shop guys smoking. Apparently Rick, Corey and Hoss smoke like chimneys and Rick admits to being paranoid about his wife and kid being recognizable.
