"Ten?" "Ninety-five?" *"TEN?"* ive never seen rick get owned so quickly hahaha

[@debbiemarquis3231]

Because he don't have to work on it..he will easily get $15,000 plus for it...

[@adams6438]

Maybe more... he holds onto it long enough could be worth a lot especially when museums start callibg

[@taih588]

Yea, if Rick caves that fast then it's because he know that he can sell it for more money. I was actually shocked that he didn't do his famous "this item is going to sit for a while because I have to find a specific audience, and with the auction fees I will barely make any money on it if I go to $9,500". He probably already have a few buyers in mind, or like the other comment said, he probably held on to it until the episode aired and then let the museums call him.

[@bart4543]

Joke is on you. He sold for 48 thousand

[@robotjeans]

So satisfying

[@digitalblasphemy1100]

Seller: This is the first Bible ever written. Rick: I know a guy, let me call him over. moments later Jesus walks in.

[@HomeMadeLetsuncomplicatefood]

One of the smartest seller. Did his homework, stayed to his price and made a deal.

[@TurquoiseStar17]

Rick's called this guy in as an expert before. Even so, it's better to get a second opinion when he's the one trying to sell it.

Christmas was a Pagan holiday that Christians adopted during the migration period. It’s not at all related to Jesus or Christianity. It’s “believed” that Jesus was born in the Fall.

[@gregory7320]

Rick called in a fraud expert Steve to check on an experts item 😯

[@tarbosh917]

Usually the store tries to get something they want at about 50-60% the appraised value, but he was happy to start and buy higher than that since this is only going to go up in value over time, unless someone has a box full of these exact documents with his signature.

[@louisefisher5878]
