“Pawn Stars” Rick Harrison Snags James Bond’s Credit Card
Las Vegas, NV – No stranger to unique items, “Pawn Stars” Rick Harrison recently added a piece of 007 history to his collection: James Bond’s credit card from the 2006 film “Casino Royale.” A customer named Dan reached out to Harrison, offering the prop card for sale. An excited Harrison, a self-proclaimed James Bond fan, immediately saw the potential.
After a quick video call with Dan to discuss the card’s origins, Harrison brought in Hollywood prop expert Hope M. Parrish for authentication.
Parrish confirmed the card’s authenticity, noting details like the abbreviated expiration date (07/07) consistent with prop cards and the blank reverse side, visible in the film’s opening scene. She appraised the card at $1,200, aligning with Dan’s asking price.
Never one to shy away from a deal, Harrison offered Dan $1,100 for the card. While acknowledging the fair asking price, Harrison maintained his signature bargaining style, stating, “I’m not gonna pay retail for it.
I don’t pay retail for anything.” Dan accepted the offer, adding another iconic piece to Harrison’s ever-growing collection.
Celebrating the acquisition, Harrison quipped, “Martini, shaken, not stirred. Wonder if they’ll take this card?”
