- HE CAME DOWN HERE, HE SAID VIC'S GOING TO BE THERE.
RICH ROOKIES IN THIS BUSINESS ARE LIKE BABIES WITH HANDGUNS.
- YOU NEED TO GAIN WEIGHT BEFORE YOU TALK NOISE TO ME,
'CAUSE YOU'LL GET HURT.
- I TOLD HER TO PEEP BEHIND THE PICTURES,
NOT RIP THEM APART.
- "WANTED FOR TREASON"?
[country rock music]
- THAT'S THE GRAVY TRAIN RIGHT THERE.
- YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT WE FIND.
- JERRY! MY STORE IS ON THE LINE HERE.
- I'M READY FOR A NEW CHALLENGE.
I'M REALLY HOPING THIS PAYS OFF.

- ♪ MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN ♪
♪ YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ♪
♪ MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN ♪
- AND IT'S SOLD!
- TODAY WE'RE IN THE LAKE HIGHLANDS NEIGHBORHOOD
OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
NOW THE ABRAMS SKILLMAN CENTER IS MOSTLY INDOORS,
AND IT'S AIR-CONDITIONED.
HELL, YOU COULD STORE YOUR PEACHES IN THERE,
AND THEY'D BE GOOD TO EAT WHEN YOU IS DONE.
- I GOT TO MAKE A PHONE CALL TO MY HUSBAND.
- YOU KNOW HE'S COMING IN TODAY ANYWAY,
SO WHAT DO YOU KEEP CALLING HIM FOR?
- MY HUSBAND DOUG, HE'S A TRUCK DRIVER.
AND HE COMES HOME ONCE A MONTH.
I DO THIS SO WHEN DOUG COMES HOME
I CAN BE WITH HIM.
I'M GONNA FOCUS.
ALL RIGHT, LET ME GET MY GAME-FACE ON.
- LESA'S GOT TO GET HER HEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
SHE HAS TO FOCUS ON FILLING THE STORE.
- OH, BOY. ANOTHER DAY.
TODAY I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ODD,
SOMETHING YOU DON'T SEE EVERYWHERE.
THIS IS A HIGH-RENT DISTRICT,
SO I'M HOPING TO FIND SOME COLLECTIBLES.
- WE NEED BOXED STUFF.
I'VE GOT FURNITURE COMING OUT THE...
SEAMS OF THE WAREHOUSE.
- YEAH, BUBBA'S GOT THE RIGHT IDEA.
WE NEED SOME SMALL STUFF TO FILL UP OUR SHELVES.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET US SOME KNICKKNACKS,
CANOOTER VALVES, THINGAMAJIGS,
UH, HOOTENANNIES.
IF WE COULD FIND ONE STATUE, IT WOULD BE GOOD.
EVEN A JACKALOPE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WE'RE REALLY GOING TO OFFSET THE SHELVING DEPARTMENT.
- OKAY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE AUCTION.
ONCE WE REMOVE THE LOCKS,
YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK AROUND.
THERE'LL BE NO KICKING THE BOXES,
NO TOUCHING AND REACHING INSIDE.
YOU'LL BE BIDDING JUST WITH THE MONEY YOU HAVE ON YOU TODAY.
THERE'LL BE NO DASH FOR CASH.
ARE YOU READY TO GO? all: YEAH!
- LET'S GO!
all: OH!
- THERE'S TWO RECLINERS, RICKY.
- YEAH, BUT LOOK AT THEM. RECLINER'S RIPPED.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR QUALITY SMALL ITEMS,
SO BIG, BEAT-UP FURNITURE IS A BIG NEGATIVE.
- IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF OLDER FURNITURE.
IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
THAT ASIAN SHADE-- THAT IS KIND OF ODD.
I HAVEN'T HAD ONE OF THOSE IN THE SHOP.
SO WE'LL SEE WHAT IT GOES FOR.
WITH OLD FURNITURE, YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOU'VE GOT
AN ANTIQUE OR JUST A PILE OF CRAP.
BUT THAT ASIAN SHADE IS WORTH BETTING ON.
- WAIT A MINUTE, I'M FOCUSING ON SOMETHING BACK THERE.
LOOK. SEE THE MIRROR? THAT'S A MIRROR--
THAT'S AN ANTIQUE. THAT A BACK
OF AN ANTIQUE DRESSER.
IS THAT AN ANTIQUE OR NOT?
I DON'T KNOW.
- OH, LORD! MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND, WOMAN.

THIS IS A BADASS UNIT. - IS IT A BADASS UNIT?
- TWO PIECES ARE BADASS. - SWEET.
THANK YOU. - LET'S GO, NEXT LOCKER.
- OH, MY GOD, IT WAS GORGEOUS.
FUDGE.
- I TELL YOU WHAT, MAN,
STORAGE LOCKERS ARE ADDICTING.
HEY, WHAT'S UP? - HEY.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING? - WHAT'S GOING ON?
- UH, EVERYBODY'S ALL SWEATY, SMELL LIKE OLD HOT DOG WATER.
MAN, I TELL YOU, I'VE BEEN TURNED INTO
ONE OF THOSE DUDES THAT AT LIKE 3:00 IN THE MORNING
ARE PLAYING ONLINE POKER-- CLICKING AWAY.
WHAT'S UP, BIG MAN? - WHAT THE HECK!
- YOU ALL RIGHT? - YOU'RE LATE AGAIN.
- YEAH, YOU KNOW. - IT'S IN HIS BLOOD NOW.
all: OH!
- OKAY, NOW WE'RE TALKING.
DRESSER'S OKAY.
WE'VE GOT SOME TABLES AND CHAIRS I LIKE.
THERE'S AN APARTMENT FULL OF FURNITURE IN THERE.
GREAT FOR THE STORE. GAME ON.
- WHAT IS THAT? SOME KIND OF SHELVING?
IT TORE THE COUCH. - IT'S AN OLD DRESSER.
- A PLASTIC FRONT. YEAH.
AND IT'S TOO MUCH BEDDING, JEEZ.
HERE WE ARE ONCE AGAIN.
BIG FURNITURE, A MATTRESS WITH DNA ALL OVER IT.
NOT OUR KIND OF STUFF.
- THEY HAVE A LITTLE FLAT SCREEN TV.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BAGS, BUT I MEAN,
THAT'S THE WHOLE HUNT ABOUT THE TREASURE, SO--
YOU KNOW, I SEE A FLAT SCREEN IN THERE,
AND I SEE A "FURBERRY" COUCH-- FAKE FOR BURBERRY.
YEAH, BUT THIS DUDE MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME MONEY.
- I KNOW THIS FURNITURE. I KNOW THAT BUNK BED
UM, VERY CHEAP. THEY WEREN'T TOO CAREFUL
ON MOVING THESE COUCHES AROUND.
JUST EVERYTHING IN HERE IS LOW-END.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING REMOTELY UNIQUE
OR COLLECTIBLE. NOT FOR ME.
- LET'S GET HER DONE. WHAT AM I BID HERE?
200, SIR? 200.
NOW 400. 400, NOW 600.
600.

- ALL RIGHT. - THEY WON'T HEAR YOU.
- I THOUGHT YOU GOT TO BE NICE AND LIGHT ABOUT IT.
- 850 [auctioneering]. - HOLD ON.
- 850? TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK. 850 NOW.
- 825. - 825?
NOW 850. - YEAH.

IT'S LESA'S TURN.
- COME ON! - HOW MANY TIMES YOU GOING
TO GO IN THERE AND LOOK? - LESA, BID ON IT!
LET'S GO!
- COME ON, LESA, THIS IS EMBARRASSING.
- HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO GO IN THERE AND LOOK?
- LESA, BID ON IT! - NO.
- 875? I SOLD IT, SOLD IT, SOLD IT.
ROY, 850. - MY MAN.
- YOU THE MAN. - GIVE ME SOME, GIVE ME SOME.
I BOUGHT A LOT OF MYSTERY BOXES.
MAN, I'M REALLY HOPING THIS PAYS OFF.
- UM, I WANT-- - WANTED TO BEAT ME UP TODAY.
- YOU THINK ANYBODY-- - HE CAME DOWN HERE,
HE SAID, "VIC'S GOING TO BE THERE."
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO I AM. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS.
RICH ROOKIES IN THIS BUSINESS ARE LIKE BABIES WITH HANDGUNS.
YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM OUT BEFORE THEY TAKE YOU OUT.
- EVERYBODY'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU, VIC.
YOU NEED TO GAIN SOME WEIGHT BEFORE YOU TALK NOISE TO ME,
'CAUSE YOU'LL GET HURT. [laughter]
all: OH!
- ACTUALLY, SOMETHING CLASSIC--OH!
CHECK OUT MIKE TYSON PUNCH-OUT!
CALM DOWN.
- I DON'T CARE FOR THE OLD TV, BUT I THINK
WE CAN DO 200 TO 300 ON THIS UNIT.
- THE PLAN WAS TO FILL OUR SHELVES,
NOT BUY MORE SHELVES.
- WELL, THAT'S A LATE MODEL PAINT SPRAYER.
THIS OTHER FURNITURE IS CHEAP.
IT'S JUST BASIC. THIS IS NOT FOR ME.
NOTHING UNUSUAL OR ECCENTRIC.
- LOTS OF PAINTINGS. LOOK AT THAT.
AND THEY'RE RIPPED. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
- LATER ON, WE'LL SEE WHAT'S IN THERE.
- ALL RIGHT, I THINK I WILL.
IN THE PAST, I FOUND PLENTY OF STUFF
IN THE BACKS OF PAINTINGS.
THOSE RIPS ARE A GOOD SIGN.
OH, YOU WANT THIS ONE TOO, HUH?
- I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT.
- YOU WANT THIS BECAUSE YOU KNOW I WANT IT.
- DO YOU? - ALL RIGHT.
WHAT AM I BID HERE? 100? 100.
NOW 150. - NOW.
- NOW 200. WENT THERE QUICK.
THAT MAKES IT 200. NOW 250.
- YEAH. - 300.
- 275. - 275 NOW.
- I DON'T NEED A NINTENDO THAT BAD.
- 300. GOING TO SELL IT!
300. SELL IT--LESA, $275.
- LESA CAN HAVE THAT [bleep].
- YOU GOT ONE! all: [cheering]
- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!
- GENTLEMEN, THAT CONCLUDES TODAY'S AUCTION.
- 83 DEGREES IN HERE.
- IT'S TIME TO LOAD UP THE MYSTERY UNIT I BOUGHT FOR 850.
MAN, I STILL NEED SOME HELP PRICING.
SO RICKY AND BUBBA WERE COOL ENOUGH TO HELP ME OUT.
LET'S DIG IN.
- RICKY AND I DIDN'T BUY TODAY,
SO WE GOT SOME TIME TO HELP ROY.
- THIS LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF A--
- VACUUM. - BEWARE OF THAT, BUBBA.
- IT'S PROBABLY HIGH-END. - I BET IT REALLY SUCKS.
- YOU SAY IT SUCKS? - I HOPE SO, IT'S A VACUUM.
- [laughs] WHATEVER.
THESE GUYS ARE TOO MUCH, MAN.
- IS THAT A MONITOR OR A TV? - IT'S A TV.
HAS A DVD PLAYER TOO.
- I KNOW ROY BOUGHT THIS UNIT BECAUSE OF THE FLAT-SCREEN.
BUT IT'S ONLY 75 BUCKS. WELL, HE'S REALLY SHOWING
HIS ROOKIE COLORS.
- GOT A STEREO. WE GOT SOME BINOCULARS.
WE GOT ANOTHER STEREO SYSTEM. - WELL, WELL.
- THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF APPLIANCES.
- IT'S NOT A BAD LOCKER, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO DIG DEEP TO FIND ROY A PROFIT.
- THE "MULBERRY" COUCHES COULD GO FOR 200.
- MIGHT BE A BODY...
JUST WRAPPED UP.
- I DON'T KNOW. - IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING.
IT MIGHT BE A FLAT-SCREEN TV.
- IT'S PRETTY HEAVY. - [indistinct]
WHAT?
- LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
- THERE'S ANOTHER BOX.
- IT'S A TENT. THE TENT ISN'T NO GRAVY TRAIN.
OH, MY GOSH.
I'M STARTING TO SOUND LIKE RICKY.
- IT'S A DARKROOM, ROY. IT'S NOT A TENT.
IT'S BRAND-NEW. - IT IS BRAND-NEW.
IT'S STILL-- STILL IN IT'S PACKAGE.
- I MEAN, EVERYTHING-- ALL THE POLES--EVERYTHING.
- LET'S FIND AN APPRAISER, AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET FOR IT.
- SOUNDS GOOD. - SINCE BUBBA AND I
ARE GOING HOME EMPTY-HANDED TODAY,
I'M GOING TO TRY TO HELP ROY FIND OUT ABOUT THAT DARKROOM,
AND GET IT LOOKED AT.
- IF THAT'S WORTH ANYTHING AT ALL,
ROY COULD REALLY CLEAN UP ON THIS UNIT.
- YEAH, HERE THEY ARE. - HURRY UP, I CAN'T SEE.
- SORRY. BACK AT THE UNIT
THAT I BOUGHT FOR $275.
MY HUSBAND'S COMING IN TODAY, SO THIS IS GOING TO BE QUICK.
YAY.
I'M GOING TO GO GET A DOLLY.
YOU START UNLOADING.
I'LL HURRY. JUST KEEP UNLOADING.
HERE I COME, JERRY!
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT? I'M IN A HURRY, MAN.
WHAT IS IT? - A BOX.
[laughs] YOU BOUGHT A BOX.
WAIT TILL YOU TURN THAT AROUND. YOU'RE GOING TO SCREAM.
YOU HAVE NO FRONT.
- WHAT KIND OF GOLF CLUBS ARE THESE?
- THEY MORE "THROW-AWAY" THAN THEY IS CALLAWAY.
- SERIOUS, THIS IS A BUMMER OF A LOCKER.
- I TOLD HER TO PEEK BEHIND THE PICTURES,
NOT RIP THEM APART.
- THAT'S A VINTAGE POSTER.
NOTHING BACK HERE. THAT'S ANOTHER VINTAGE PO--
THESE ARE ACTUALLY REALLY COOL PICTURES.
NOTHING.
HMM.
THIS IS PRETTY OLD-- 1963.
- SHE COULD HAVE JUST TURNED THE FRAME OVER.
- JOHN F. KENNEDY "WANTED FOR TREASON"?
"THIS MAN IS WANTED FOR TREASONOUS ACTIVITIES
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES."
THIS FEELS REAL, HUH?
WONDER IF THIS IS AUTHENTIC?
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT POLITICS,
BUT THIS COULD BE BIG.
I GOT TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT.
- MISS LESA AIN'T NO EINSTEIN,
BUT SHE MIGHT HAVE DONE PRETTY GOOD WITH THIS JFK.
- EVERYBODY WAS RAZZING ME THAT THIS WAS TOO MUCH,
BUT IT ENDED UP BEING THE BEST ROOM OF THE DAY.
I'M BACK AT THE UNIT I BOUGHT FOR $175.
- THIS IS WHAT REALLY I SPOTTED.
WELL...
IT'S A LITTLE BIT IN DISREPAIR.
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE $10 OR $20 ON THAT.
THAT'S DISAPPOINTING.
THIS IS A REAL, OLD ANTIQUE CHANDELIER--
EASILY A HUNDRED-DOLLAR PIECE.
HERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULDN'T REALLY SEE.
AND IT IS LOCKED.
MAYBE THE LOCK ITSELF--
IT DEFINITELY IS AN OLDER-STYLE LOCK.
I HATE TO BREAK IT... TO GET IT OFF,
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING... [clunk]
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE. [clunk]
[sighs]
LET ME SEE, MAYBE WE GET LUCKY AND FIND...
FIND SOMETHING... [jingling, clanking]
LAYING AROUND FOR IT.
LIKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF KEYS.
HUH. [jingle]
LET'S SEE. NOPE.
NOPE. COLLECTORS PAY LIKE 50 BUCKS
FOR THESE KIND OF LOCKS.
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT.
THE KEY'S GOT TO BE HERE. LET'S SEE.
[clank]
HE JUST HAS KEYS EVERYWHERE,
BUT THAT'S NOT FOR THAT.
[jingle] "VO-LAY"!
"VO-LAY" SOUNDS BETTER THAN VOILA.
NOW WE'RE TALKING.
VOILA KIND OF SUCKS.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT ONE. NO, THESE ARE TOO BIG.
YOU DON'T HAVE THIS OLD, FANCY LOCK LIKE THIS
AND LOCK UP A CHEST
WITH NOTHING IN IT. THIS IS NUTS!
THIS GUY MUST HAVE COLLECTED KEYS.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE,
I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.
I'M GOING CROSS-EYED LOOKING AT THIS LOCK.
I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO IT.
CHINA.
AND THIS IS VERY, VERY THIN.
THE MORE THIN AND DAINTY IT IS, THE MORE MONEY IT'S WORTH.
THIS CHINA'S NICE.
IF I CAN FIND THE REST OF THE SET,
I'VE REALLY GOT SOMETHING HERE.
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
IT'S A 12-PIECE SETTING. IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE SET.
PRISTINE CONDITION. EASILY 400 BUCKS, MAYBE MORE.
AND HERE WE GO GET LUCKY AGAIN.
[grinding]
IT'S ALL WOOD. THIS IS EASILY
A $200-, $300-PIECE.
I'M GLAD I'M SEEING SOME MONEY,
BUT I GOT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BOX.
MORE KEYS.
- MOMENT OF TRUTH.
AH.
[clicking, jingling]
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS IT.
[sighs]
AH.
"VO-LAY"!
A FREAKING COFFEE CUP.
WAIT A SECOND.
PRETTY NICE COLLECTION OF KEYS.
I SAY EASILY, WITH THE LOCK, WE GOT 200 BUCKS FOR THIS
AS A DECORATED PIECE WITH A LOCK.
I MEAN, IT'S-- IT'S REALLY NICE.
ALL SAID AND DONE, SOME NICE ANTIQUES--
THE CHINA, THE TRUNK, THE KEYS.
NOT BAD FOR 175.
- THIS IS IT.
- I FOUND THIS DARKROOM TENT THING.
SO WE'RE HERE AT D2 STUDIOS
TO GET THE LOWDOWN. - HI.
- HOW'S IT GOING? - GOOD.
- THIS IS A PHOTO PLACE RICKY AND I KNOW.
WE'LL SEE IF THIS PUTS ROY IN THE BLACK.
COME ON! YOU KNEW WHAT I MEANT.
- LET'S PUT IT OUT THERE IN THE MIDDLE, AND...
- JUST RIGHT HERE? - PUT IT TOGETHER.
- I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THIS IS.
- IT IS FOR TRADITIONALISTS THAT SHOOT FILM.
'CAUSE IT GIVES YOU A DARK PLACE TO LOAD FILM.
- DO YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE? - I DON'T HAVE ONE.
I WENT ALL DIGITAL A FEW YEARS BACK.
- OFF THE BAT, THIS THING SEEMS OBSOLETE.
THIS MIGHT BE A BIG NEGATRON FOR ROY.
- LET'S TRY TO PUT THIS TOGETHER, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
YOU WANT TO TRY TO SET IT UP? - YEAH, LET'S DO THAT.
- ROY, LOOK HOW MANY POLES ARE IN THERE, DUDE.
- WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, RIGHT NOW?
- I'M SAYING THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL
WE'RE GONNA PUT THIS TOGETHER.
- OH, YES, WE ARE. - JEEZ, LOUISE.
THERE'S ENOUGH CANOODLE VALVES IN HERE,
WE NEED A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.
THIS IS BIGGER. THIS IS A JOINT.
- ALL WE NEED IS SOME DUCT TAPE.
- WATCH IT. [clanking on floor]
- AIN'T GOING TO WORK.
THERE'S LIKE 200 PIECES IN THIS THING.
- I GUESS READ THIS. IT SAYS,
"ASSEMBLES IN A FEW MINUTES."
- BUBBA, WE'RE FALLING APART.
- THIS IS GREAT!
- NO, IT'S GOT TO GO UNDER.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS THOUGH.
- HOW ARE WE DOING?
- MAN, I KNOW I'M GOING TO OWE THEM BIG FOR THIS ONE.
- OH, THERE WE GO.
- THAT'S A PRETTY NICE SETUP, GUYS.
- YEAH, IT IS. JUST A FEW MINUTES,
AND ONE GUY...
WITH 37 ARMS.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S THIS DAMN SPACESHIP WORTH?
- ALL THE PIECES ARE HERE. WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT WE CAN GET FOR THIS UNIT?
- I WOULD SAY...
IT'S WORTH AROUND $800 OR $900.
- SHOOT!
THAT'S AWESOME. SWEET.
- THAT PORTABLE DARKROOM IS A GRAVY TRAIN.
I'M IMPRESSED.
- NOW Y'ALL PUT IT AWAY. - AW, MAN.
RICHARD, YOU GOT IT. - NO, I'M OUT OF HERE.
- I CALLED THIS GUY, SO HE'S WAITING FOR US.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A GOOD STORY BEHIND THIS JFK CLIPPING.
SO WE'RE HERE AT THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM IN DALLAS.
HI. - GOOD MORNING.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING? - GOOD. NICE TO MEET YOU.
- THIS MUSEUM CHRONICLES THE ASSASSINATION
AND THE LEGACY OF JFK.
- THESE ARE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS
OF THE KENNEDY MOTORCADE THROUGH DOWNTOWN.
ABOUT 200,000 PEOPLE TURNED OUT TO GREET THE PRESIDENT
ON HIS WAY THROUGH DOWNTOWN DALLAS.
THIS IS THE SNIPER'S PERCH.
LEE HARVEY OSWALD CROUCHED RIGHT THERE.
FIRED THE THREE SHOTS DURING THE ASSASSINATION
WHICH KILLED PRESIDENT KENNEDY. - WOW.
I WAS A LITTLE GIRL WHEN JFK WAS KILLED.
I REMEMBER HOW DEVASTATING IT WAS.
- THE "X" REPRESENTS THE APPROXIMATE SPOT
WHERE THE FATAL SHOT STRUCK THE PRESIDENT IN THE HEAD.
- WOW, REALLY.
- I LIVED IN TEXAS MY WHOLE LIFE.
YOU SEE THIS STUFF ON TV,
BUT SEEING IT IN PERSON IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY.
- HERE ARE SOME OF THE MORE POPULAR CONSPIRACY THEORIES
ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION. - LOOK, JERRY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT.
- THIS IS WARREN COMMISSION EXHIBIT NUMBER 996.
AND IT WAS A RIGHT-WING FLYER
THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED AROUND DALLAS
IN THE DAYS PRECEDING THE ASSASSINATION.
- MISS LESA COULD HAVE DONE GOOD WITH THIS JFK.
- HERE IS THE HANDBILL THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COLLECTION.
LET'S SEE HERE.
LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE MADE FROM THE SAME KIND OF PAPER.
DODGER STOCK IS WHAT THEY CALLED IT.
IT WAS A CHEAP NEWSPAPER. - REALLY.
- WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO
IS PUT THESE TWO ON OUR LIGHT TABLE HERE.
AND IF THIS ONE IS AUTHENTIC, IT SHOULD LINE UP
ALMOST PERFECTLY.
- VERY NICE. THAT LOOKS REALLY CLOSE.
THIS CAME FROM THE SAME PLATE.
AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE AN ORIGINAL FROM 1963.
- REALLY. - MM-HMM.
- ONE OF ABOUT 5,000 PRODUCED.
- SO YOU THINK IS WORTH A LOT OF MONEY?
- I BELIEVE AT ONE POINT THERE WAS AN AUCTION
WHERE IT WAS ABOUT...
$1,200. YEAH. - REALLY.
$1,200 IS A LOT OF MONEY.
- I'VE GOT A REAL PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY HERE.
- DO I THINK LESA GOT LUCKY?
YOU BET YOUR ASS SHE GOT LUCKY.
- THANKS VERY MUCH. - THANK YOU.
- BUT I'M JUST GLAD I GOT TO SEE A PIECE OF HISTORY.
I LEARNED SOMETHING TOO TODAY. - GREAT.
narrator: THE LAKE HIGHLANDS WINNER WAS LESA LEWIS,
PUTTING $1,100 IN HER OWN DEPOSITORY.
VICTOR RJESNJANSKY FOUND AN $800 PROFIT
IN HIS KEYS AND FURNITURE.
ROY WILLIAMS PUT TOGETHER A PORTABLE DARKROOM,
MAKING HIM OVER 600 BUCKS.
WHILE RICKY AND BUBBA DROVE HOME
CANOOTER VALVE FREE.
- OH, MAN, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
- I'M SO EXCITED.
MY HUSBAND DOUG IS FINALLY GOING TO SEE
MY NEW STORE. - I WAS--
I'M GETTING A LITTLE BIT EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW.
LOOK, I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS.
THERE'S A JFK MUSEUM IN DALLAS.
TAKE IT OVER THERE AND THEY CAN TELL YOU IF IT'S REAL OR NOT.
- IN DALLAS? - BY BOOK SUPPOSITORY, YEAH.
- OH, REALLY? - YEAH.
- A BOOK SUPPOSITORY? NO, THANK YOU.
