One in a Million is the thirty-second episode of the twelfth season of the hit reality TV show Pawn Stars. In this exciting installment, the Harrison family and their expert team of pawnbrokers at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop are presented with a unique item that promises to be a valuable addition to their extensive collection.
The episode kicks off with Rick Harrison, the shop's owner, receiving a phone call from a local collector named Jason, who claims to have stumbled upon a truly remarkable item. Intrigued by the caller's description, Rick agrees to meet him and evaluate the potential value of the item.
When Jason arrives at the pawn shop, he unveils a piece that leaves the team completely astounded—a rare print of one of the most iconic photographs from the twentieth century. The photograph in question is the famous "One in a Million" shot, taken during the historic opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883. The image captures a sea of jubilant faces as they celebrate this engineering marvel.
Rick and the team are immediately captivated by the magnitude and historical significance of the photograph. They recognize the value it holds not only as a remarkable piece of art but also as a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. Understanding the potential demand from collectors and museums, the team jumps into action to verify the authenticity and condition of the print.
Meanwhile, Chumlee, the lovable and ever-entertaining member of the team, finds himself drawn to a set of vintage Las Vegas casino chips. The chips, dating back to the 1960s, belong to a local collector who inherited them from his grandparents. With their unique designs and historical relevance to the city of Las Vegas, Chumlee sees an opportunity to add a touch of nostalgia to the pawn shop's collection.
As Rick appraises the Brooklyn Bridge photograph, he calls in his trusted art expert and appraiser, Rebecca, to examine the print more closely. Rebecca is known for her sharp eye and expertise in identifying rare and valuable pieces of art. Her evaluation will be crucial in determining the worth of this remarkable item.
While Rebecca examines the Brooklyn Bridge print, Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison, Rick's son, delves into the backstory of the photograph. He uncovers fascinating details about the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, including the challenges faced by its builders and the symbolism behind this engineering masterpiece. Corey's research not only deepens his appreciation for the photograph but also enhances his ability to negotiate its value.
Back in the shop, the negotiations for both the Brooklyn Bridge print and the vintage Las Vegas casino chips are in full swing. Rick and Jason engage in a tense bargaining session, trying to reach a fair price that satisfies both parties. The stakes are high as the potential value of the One in a Million photograph could be a game-changer for the pawn shop.
Simultaneously, Chumlee haggles with the collector over the vintage casino chips. As someone with a passion for Las Vegas history, Chumlee is especially invested in acquiring these chips for the shop. His knowledge of the city's past and his enthusiasm for this unique form of currency play a significant role in his negotiation tactics.
