This week, a man walks in with a 92-carat ruby necklace he's been keeping in a shoebox, another brings in a classic 1967 Triumph Chopper, hoping for enough cash to help his mother renovate her house, and a third presents an unopened case of presidential brother Billy Carter's Billy Beer that the expert says it's worthless, but Jon bets will sell.

    #8 - Love Meter/Knights of the Templar Sword

    S1:E2

It could bring in $5,000 to $7,000 if the right bidders are in the crowd on auction day, and all proceeds would benefit the homeless. Then, when a man brings in his grandfather's coat and sword, Paul must unravel their mysterious secret-society history in order to sell them.
