'Pawn Stars': Burned Program From 1932 NFL Championship Game
It was certainly a significant piece of sports history, but would burn damage affect its value? That's what the "Pawn Stars" (Mon, 10 p.m. ET on History) needed to find out after shelling out $2,750 for a program from the 1932 NFL Championship Game. That was the last game played before the league split in two, so they knew it was special. But the damage was somewhat severe for a paper document, though most of it remained intact.
They took it to an expert, where they discovered that the damage certainly didn't matter in regards to whether or not they could earn a profit. After being told that it was "the holy grail of football programs" they were told it could easily fetch ten grand at auction.
Sports memorabilia is a robust market, and football remains the most popular sport in the nation. It's no surprise that such a significant piece of its past -- no matter the condition -- could still fetch top dollar.
Catch new episodes, and finds, on "Pawn Stars" every Monday at 10 p.m. ET on History.

To say that television is going to be replaced by online video -- or by anything else -- both misinterprets the facts and misunderstands the very definition of TV.
In my humble opinion, "TV Time" is a crucial tool to re-open the lines of communication and tear down the silos we've built around ourselves. This New Year, make time for "TV Time."
From a marketing standpoint, a good theme song is a home run. Branding wrapped in a memorable, stick-in-your-head melody? That's a priceless commodity in a TV landscape littered with noise and copycat ideas.
One of the first things you see when you enter the Brooklyn Flea at Skylight One Hanson is the bright and bold display from Jaron Cupak of Jarontiques.
No matter what kind of television you have -- whether you stream it on your iPad, or your Wii, whether you DVR it, or watch it live -- it's not a question of if your TV will annihilate you -- the question is when.
