Pawn Stars: Rick Loses Out on One of a Kind Beach Boys Surfboard | History

[@1tonofclay]

Respect to Brian, this man won the negotiation even if he didnt make a deal. The Beach Boys are a legendary group. This is an insane piece of cultural history.

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

LMAO! Nope. It's surfboard not an unreleased recording session. It has been up for sale for 150 K, then lowered to 100 k, but never sold, and never will at that price. The guy does not give a carp for history he just wants to sell a gift from his dad for an egregiously greedy, unrealistic amount of money. Nor would he even see 65 K once he paid auction fees and a commission. He's a moron. 65K was an overly generous offer.

[@kieranfo3739]

When an item is autographed: Having it signed takes away from the value, people want an object as it originally was. When an object isn't autographed: Not having it signed takes away from the value, people want the icon associated with it to have their name on it.

Facts.

[@Doors067]

so true

[@jeffw1267]

It WOULD help if it was signed. It would help prove that it's the same surfboard in the photo. It might be possible to compare some of the scrapes and marks on the surfboard to the original photo (IF some of the marks were there at the time of the photo shoot). But the album cover photos wouldn't show a high enough resolution. How do we KNOW that it's the same surfboard? Just because a guy wrote a letter of provenance and had it notarized doesn't prove anything.

[@mat5473]

Exactly...that's so stupid. It's THE board from the album cover! That's the appeal! They signed their autographs to millions of things over the years. So what.

[@PabloGonzalez-hv3td]

It depends on the item an old looking surfboard doesn't display well without any context a signature would help while an iconic movie prop is distinguishable all on it's own it doesn't need a signature and could possibly be devalued by one

[@lionelmax2953]

Yeah and if it was signed they’ll say it reduces it’s value

[@willydoe7315]

I wouldn't want it signed. I would want it how it was when they had it. It's one of a kind and on album covers. I wouldn't pay insurance price but I can see it going 100k up. But if the expert days around 70k if you want to move it. 50-60k would have to do. You at a pawn shop so. If you want higher value u got to hit eBay and wait.

[@Platinumsfex]

@@lionelmax2953 Id' say it depends. An item like this, the surfboard from an album cover is realistically never going to be surfed with again, its a display piece. So having it autographed adds to its value as a display piece. Something like a guitar played by a famous player, that's a working object that you could play on. So having the guitarist's signature on the guitar decreases the value. Same with a world series baseball, its a display piece so a signature doesn't matter. Say the Mustang from 'Bullet', if its signed the value decreases because people want the functioning car.

The expert said it was only worth half. Then rick only offered half of the half that the expert said it was worth... I believe they get the asking price and then tell the expert in order to have them devalue or under value it as much as possible. Which usually seems to be the case with a few exceptions. And then they will typically offer half of whatever it is “valued” at

Beach Boys was a major influence on the music scene of the early 1960s and Beatles were influenced by them. From a collector's point of view, I would agree that Beatles memorabilia would be more valuable. But it depends on the buyer I guess.

[@jeffw1267]

True enough, although the Beach Boys were underrated. Especially their work after about 1968. We all know about the Beatles' entire catalog.

[@Jpeterson7]

Love the Beach Boys, nobody will ever have as much influence as the Beatles. The Beatles had 26 number ONE hits and quite literally have 100 songs in the top 5 or 10. Most people who grew up in the era (and their kids) know at least 100 Beatles songs. The Beach Boys and a few other bands reached the pinnacle of greatness, just not as often.
