Step up to the plate with the Pawn Stars when a baseball believed to be signed by the 1959 World Series Champions, the Dodgers, gets thrown into the shop. Will Corey be able to hit it out of the park or will he strike out? Then, Rick gets his big break when he is presented with a rare Berndt-Maurer 1930s movie camera. Will he yell "Action" on the deal or will it be a bad take? And later, the Old Man vows retribution after Rick bans all junk food from the shop. Will revenge be sweet for the Old Man or will the plan go sour?
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.
