Gotta love how Rick immediately knew the ivory tusk was fake... but still drew it out, asking her questions about it and getting her hopes up before dropping the bombshell on her 😂
"I had 4 people look at it 10 years ago and they appraised it at almost 50k. Nah I don't have any documentation proving I'm not just bsing you. Trust me bro."
Best I can do is one more video before bed. 😂
Im waiting until they come out with a episode about Labubu's 😂
Five items that didn’t even come close to fooling Pawn Stars lol 😂
