  • - Hey, how's it going?

  • Good.

  • How are you?

  • What do we got here?

  • Because I don't buy black bags.

  • OK.

  • And it looks like you're about to do

  • a magic trick, or something.

  • No magic trick today.

  • But bear with me one second, here.

  • This is a 1978 Triple Crown trophy.

  • Really?

  • Yes.

  • You don't look like the size of a jockey.

  • No.

  • I have a 1978 Triple Crown trophy.

  • Since this is one of the only ones available,

  • I thought it would be a good investment.

  • I'm hoping to get $500,000 for the trophy.

  • How in the world did you get this?

  • I work with the trainer, for his family.

  • And so when the opportunity came up,

  • I went ahead and made the investment.

  • What horse was it?

  • The horse was named "Affirmed."

  • I mean, at one point this was the fastest horse in the world.

  • Yes.

  • So the bag says Cartier.

  • I'm assuming they made it?

  • Yes, they it.

  • Doesn't surprise me.

  • I know Tiffany's makes the Lombardi trophy.

  • Yes.

  • This is huge.

  • This is damn near the equivalent of somebody coming in here

  • and selling me a Stanley Cup.

  • Pretty much.

  • It's kind of--

  • Only a little more rare.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, it's only happened about,

  • what, 13 times in history?

  • You know, it's the Kentucky Derby,

  • the Preakness, and the Belmont?

  • Forgive me, I don't really follow horse racing.

  • But I just-- I know how big this is.

  • I know how rare this is.

  • And it happens to be from a sport I really don't

  • know that much about, so--

  • what are you looking to get out of it?

  • $500,000.

  • And normally when someone asks for $500,000 in here,

  • I kind of laugh.

  • I have no idea what it's worth.

  • You know, this is something you just

  • don't really ever get an opportunity to look at and buy.

  • I'm actually shocked that somebody ended up selling it.

  • Yes.

  • I'll tell you what, man, I'm going

  • to have to call a buddy of mine in to take a look at it.

  • Because if you brought me in the Stanley Cup right now,

  • I'm going to have a lot of questions.

  • And to me, that's the equivalent here.

  • I'll be right back.

  • Let me give him a call.

  • OK.

  • I'm fine with an expert coming in to look at it.

  • I know it's real.

  • This way they'll authenticate it,

  • and I'll get the price that I'm looking for.

  • Hey Dan.

  • What's up, man? - Hey, Corey.

  • How you doing, bud?

  • - Good to see ya. - Hey.

  • How you doing? - Hi.

  • Patrick.

  • Dude, Triple Crown trophy.

  • I don't even know where to start.

  • Unbelievable.

  • I've actually never seen one.

  • Wow.

  • Yeah, this-- I mean, it's the Triple Crown trophy.

  • This is just incredible.

  • I mean, it's like having one of the balls

  • that somebody threw a no hitter with.

  • Right. Right.

  • Yeah.

  • Like, it's not supposed to be in public hands.

  • Yeah.

  • Like, this is supposed to be in a museum.

  • Now, I had a huge question, because I've

  • made the mistake of buying Grammys, and Oscars,

  • and stuff before, and you're not allowed to own them.

  • And I ended up having to give them back.

  • Is this something that you can even own?

  • The trainer might have passed away, which in this case,

  • Laz Barrera passed away in 1991.

  • Families are able to sell trophies

  • to help out with bills, and stuff like that.

  • And this is the first time I've ever seen something

  • like this in front of me.

  • I mean, this is-- this is incredible.

  • OK, so I gotta ask, man--

  • I mean, I don't know how to put a value on this.

  • You're right.

  • It's tough to put a value, as far as comparing

  • this to other big trophies.

  • In my career, none of these have ever come out to the market,

  • to the public.

  • Comparing other trophies-- you know, what they go for--

  • this is worth-- $500,000.

  • I mean, is there a market for it?

  • The horse racing collectibles market is a small niche,

  • and there will be someone that will come out eventually,

  • that's looking for something of this high caliber.

  • And just needs to have something that no one else has.

  • OK.

  • Well, my man, I really appreciate it.

  • You got it.

  • Absolutely.

  • It was nice meeting you.

  • Nice to meet you, too.

  • [sigh] So you heard what Dan said.

  • I might be able to get $500,000 for it.

  • That's at an auction, with the right buyer,

  • and I gotta sell it to a guy who wants a trophy he didn't win.

  • You willing to come down from that number a little bit, or--

  • I really need to get $500,000 for it.

  • I'm around 125.

  • That's pretty far off.

  • Would you go to 225?

  • I really need to get five for it.

  • I think 225 is going to be the most I can do on it.

  • I really can't go below 500,000.

  • And I really can't pay more than 225.

  • I appreciate you coming down, though.

  • All right.

  • Thank you.

  • Unfortunately, he didn't pony up the money

  • that I was looking for, so we weren't

  • able to make a deal today.

  • I really need to make my money back on the investment,

  • and I'm confident that I can find a buyer that's going

  • to give me more than that.

- Hey, how's it going?
