"SUPER RARE NAPOLEON LETTER" "The marketplace has really been flooded with his signatures. There's a lot of it out there"

[@Len1977gt]

i never see any napoleon signatures

[@Just_Another_Hoosier]

I've never looked for a Napoleon signature.

[@MajorDenisBloodnok]

Letters signed by Napoleon are not rare, more than 40000 lettters have been inventoried... The man was able to dictate 4 letters in the same time to his secretaries! What is extremely rare and expensive, it is letters written by Napoleon not only signed. He did not like to write by himself and had a terrible handwriting.

[@victormeraz6631]

So nobody gonna talk about him saying “ wait another 200 years and see if it will go up from there “ 😂😂

[@DanielRodriguez-nj5ji]

Add the fact that he tried to sell an item worth $1500 for $2000 to another seller who was also trying to make a profit from it 😂🤣

[@N7_CommanderShepard]

Imagine two ricks trying to negotiate with each other.

"Super Rare" and the first thing he says is that there's alot of them.

[@bando582]

A lot of fake ones

you do realise these are old episodes lol not current eps

dude, every time that guy gives his appraisal, its always half of what the person is asking.

[@raylegrand6358]

He is shady for real

[@raylegrand6358]

I think he is trying to please Rick

[@ymann22]

Rick first he asks the customer the price, then he calls "the expert", tells him the price he wants, then comes into shop and tells him a much lower price. Easy.

[@jesseg.1900]

@@ymann22 Then Rick offers half of the appraisal given when they have already cut it in half...

[@SergeantBeanz]

off the record not necessarily a lot of the time the expert tells a much higher price than what the customer wanted

[@42_rus85]

Rick: Is this Napoleon's signature ? Customer: Yes. Rick: Best I can do is 1 cent and I am taking all the risk. Everything over that price doesn't make any financial sense.

[@rahimsabdel3776]

Rick is a scam artist.

They’re not real Customers rather back ground fill in actors

[@jasonjackson5696]

Hmmmm .... $1,500? I’ll bet Steve & Rick prearranged the price. Why they allow Steve the fraud to do anything on this show is beyond me.

I'd leave the store if I ever saw Steve coming in..

[@bhavaneshparbhoo9533]

“I need to get it frame ... oh wait”.

[@rickowenkennedy]

When the Seller is there Grad drones on about how the marketplace is flooded with Napoleon stuff, and there's not a ton of people looking for it. Afterward, during the recap Grad talks about how nice the framed package is and how it would sell quickly.

[@FAMGameplay]

"Super rare and theres a lot of them" The guy is totally legit 😁👍

I would literally die on the battlements of Austerlitz for that letter

“Based on this, I would put the price at right around.....$1,500” *insert surprised Pikachu meme*

[@Beezzzzy_]

100% asking for the how much the seller wants before the appraiser comes in always sketched me out. I feel like Rick tells whoever is coming in how much they want and then they low ball it.

DrHardlyKummsz 3 things; 1- You should be aware this show is scripted and set up. They’re aren’t there everyday like a normal work week. They set up times for the “cast” to see the more important items. 2- Watch any other clip, if they need an expert, 10 times out of 10 they ask what they want for it AND THEN go call the expert to come in, prepping them on the item. 3- They use a fraud like this a Steve Grad who claims to an actual authenticator.
