The footage is from their stop back in late September and early October of 2023. The Detroit Free Press helped get the word out as Pawn Stars welcomed visitors and paid extras to their filming. Now we'll get a chance to see the finished work.
I'm sure Rick, Corey, and Chumley enjoyed their time in The Motor City, but I'm still anxious to see the episode! I'll let you know what I think of it, but I also hope you watch it for yourself.
Detroit Pawn Stars Do America
I've watched countless episodes over the years of Pawn Stars. What memories for Rick, Corey, and Chumley are making. Seeing the United States while getting paid AND getting the hook-ups in every city: meeting famous people and seeing what treasures they have to offer. The sky can be the limit on some of these pieces. Here's a video of their highest paid items. Who knew Magic The Gathering cards could fetch such a price tag?
I enjoy Pawn Stars even when they're not in Detroit, but the homer in me is EXTRA looking forward to Detroit Pawn Stars. Not only is the formula for the show turnkey, Rick is the master of maximizing revenue. Did you know that you can buy all kinds of items off of their Gold and Silver Pawn Shop website? Real deal, my friend. They're offering 15% off your first offer and the whole nine yards. #genius
