Play hardball with the Pawn Stars when an autograph of baseball legend Honus Wagner lands in the shop. Will Corey and Chum hit a home run or will this signature be going, going, gone? Then, Rick crushes on a rare, first edition of Nabokov's controversial novel, "Lolita". Will he be seduced and give in to his love of literature or will it end up being a closed book? And later, Chumlee helps set up the shop's new phone system. Will he get called out for doing a good job or will Rick hold the phone on his not-so-traditional ideas?.
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
