  • RICK: Hey, how's it going?

  • Pretty good.

  • How are you guys?

  • I brought my shower curtain in today.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • CHUMLEE: That's kind of creepy.

  • It's even creepier because it's signed by Anthony Perkins.

  • The basketball player?

  • RICK: [LAUGHS]

  • No, no, the "Psycho" dude.

  • Reek, reek, reek, reek!

  • [WOMAN SCREAMS]

  • MARK: I won the shower curtain in San Diego on a contest,

  • and Anthony Perkins signed it when

  • he showed up to give a speech about directing "Psycho III."

  • I want to sell the shower curtain

  • because I need a little extra money, and it's a decent item.

  • I'm going to ask $400.

  • But I think the least I would take would be $300.

  • RICK: This is deeply, deeply cool.

  • Is it just me, or is it weird that you got

  • a shower curtain autographed?

  • Well, it has to do with the whole "Psycho" thing.

  • RICK: Did you ever see the original movie "Psycho"?

  • No.

  • RICK: There was a movie came out, I think it was 1960.

  • Hitchcock directed it.

  • It has the most iconic horror flick scene in it ever.

  • There was a shower scene where he supposedly--

  • Hitchcock-- took a week to film that.

  • You never actually saw her stabbed.

  • You just saw the blood going down the drain.

  • [WATER DRAINING]

  • It doesn't sound very scary.

  • RICK: It was incredible.

  • The way it was filmed is considered, like,

  • a cinematic masterpiece thing.

  • It was like the scariest movie ever.

  • It's iconic.

  • RICK: The shower scene in the original "Psycho"

  • was radical to the extreme during its time.

  • Anyone who originally saw that at the movies

  • was looking over their shoulder before they got in the shower.

  • OK, so, how much do you for this?

  • Hmm, $400.

  • [SIGHS]

  • It's not a photo.

  • It's something a little bit more unique.

  • To tell you the truth, it actually

  • sounds like a reasonable price.

  • I just want to make sure it's his signature in his hand.

  • Just hang out 15 minutes.

  • I'll get a guy down here.

  • And I want him to look at this, all right?

  • Sure.

  • RICK: I'll be right back.

  • MARK: I don't have a problem with him calling in an expert

  • today.

  • I was there, and I know the signature is real.

  • RICK: I don't want to get butchered on this thing,

  • so I called in my buddy Steve to get a price.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • This is my shower curtain expert.

  • - Yeah. - All righty.

  • Just started.

  • This is my shower curtain.

  • STEVE: Very cool.

  • So he died in 1992.

  • It's definitely an unconventional item to see

  • signed by him and rarely--

  • and this is a good thing about him--

  • rarely see anything on him.

  • So when you tell me you have a shower

  • curtain signed by this guy, it sounds kind of far-fetched.

  • RICK: OK.

  • STEVE: Well, you know, Anthony Perkins, I mean,

  • he had starred in some really big movies,

  • and he was very well thought of in Hollywood.

  • But this one movie "Psycho," obviously that kind of

  • put him on the map.

  • It's one of the most historically significant

  • films in movie history.

  • RICK: So, is it legit?

  • Well, OK, two things I want to do.

  • First is the ink.

  • That's pretty interesting.

  • It actually looks like blood.

  • ["PSYCHO" THEME]

  • Here's an authentic version of his signature.

  • And we see some of the similarities here.

  • The two most important things in his signature

  • were his A and his H. And they both kind of

  • dominated his autograph.

  • The next thing, he underlines, as you can see in this example.

  • RICK: OK.

  • So based on everything I see here, Rick, no question this

  • was signed by him.

  • And I'm being honest, this is one of the coolest pieces I've

  • actually seen come in here.

  • There's no doubt about it.

  • I mean, you never see something like this ever.

  • This item is awesome.

  • RICK: OK, so what's it worth?

  • STEVE: Photographs, $300, $400.

  • Vintage stuff, $500, $600.

  • With that said, this is something

  • I'd value right around the $800 to $1,000 range easily.

  • RICK: Well, thanks, man. I appreciate it.

  • Good to see you. Take care.

  • Good luck.

  • Thank you.

  • Yeah, you bet.

  • STEVE: There's no question about this piece being a great buy.

  • Now, if Rick's able to get it for the store,

  • that thing would sell in a heartbeat.

  • So 400 bucks, it's a deal.

  • Uhhh.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Would you be willing to go $600?

  • Well, you wanted $400--

  • Well--

  • RICK: --A little while ago.

  • That was before I listened to your expert.

  • I should've never called him in.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I'll tell you what.

  • I'll go 500 bucks.

  • 500?

  • Hold on.

  • What do you think, Mother?

  • [LAUGHS]

  • I don't think Mother likes your bid.

  • Would you go 550?

  • I still have to get it framed up.

  • I still have to do a lot of stuff to sell it.

  • 500 bucks.

  • Well, I think Mother will take your offer.

  • Cool.

  • Write him up, Chum.

  • I don't know what Mother's doing, but come on.

  • Let's go.

  • Thanks.

  • I think Mother's pretty ticked at me

  • for settling for such a low price.

  • But I'm going to take the money and buy myself

  • some new musical instruments.

RICK: Hey, how's it going?
