Special One-Hour "Pick Off" Launches Fourth Season on Thursday, February 21 at 9PM ET/PT
February 7, 2013
Gallery 63 owner Paul Brown and his Atlanta-based crew of characters are back for an all-new season of AUCTION KINGS on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 9PM ET/PT. Brown brings big energy and a well trained eye to the auction floor as wide ranging fantastic finds and rare objects cross his path each week. He's the go-to guy for sellers who need his expertise to sell their treasures, and buyers who seek a range of extraordinary items that can only be found at a Gallery 63 auction. Each episode of AUCTION KINGS ends with a lively auction where viewers get to see just how much money each item brings to the sellers.
The AUCTION KINGS team, Cindy Shook, Jon Hammond and Delfino Ramos, unearth an array of fascinating items, get some back into tip-top shape, and sell them to the highest bidder. We see much more of Paul's son Elijah this season as he steps it up and learns the ropes from his Dad. Follow Paul, auctioneers Jason Brooks and Guerry Wise, the intrepid Gallery 63 crew and special guest experts as they delve into each item's past to uncover its unique history and determine its worth.
Season four opens up with a special one hour episode with Paul challenging his crew to the first-ever Gallery 63 Pick-Off! Paul, Cindy, Jon and Elijah each have a budget of $500 and exactly one hour to purchase items at Scott Antique Markets at the Atlanta Exposition Center - and then sell them at auction. Whoever makes the largest profit at auction gets to keep all the winnings! There are thousands of items to choose from among hundreds of booths -- who will have the sharpest eye and keenest haggling skills as they race against the clock? Back at the gallery, AUCTION KINGS expert Dr. Lori evaluates all 11 items and delivers some shocking - and disappointing - news. Auction Day brings even more surprises and it's anyone's guess who will pull into the lead to win the Gallery 63 Pick-Off!
Other items featured this season will include an authentic Thomas Jefferson writing desk, a Moroccan saddle commissioned by the King of Morocco, a letter signed by Helen Keller, a 1960s air raid siren, an officer's locker from the U.S.S. Yorktown, a rare Michael Jordan motorcycle, a letter signed by Norman Rockwell, Leroy Neiman prints signed by Joe Namath and Michael Jordan, a "Talladega Nights" fire suit, a Victorian butt-operated musical chair, and a Vietnam era M16 A1 training rifle complete with training comic book. Are they real? What are they really worth? What's the winning bid? Each week Paul and his AUCTION KINGS crew answer these questions, and more!
