Rick’s dream
Did you know that it was Rick’s idea to turn the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop into a show? After working in the shop for many years and seeing all of the interesting customers and items that came through, he had a feeling that it could make an exciting show. He contacted lots of different networks and they all turned him down. None of them thought that people would be interested in the comings and goings of the shop.
After a few years of failed attempts Rick was contacted by the History Channel who had heard of his idea and were interested. They thought that their viewers would find the historical and unique artifacts exciting. Lucky for everyone involved they couldn’t be more right!
