It may be better now, but certainly not one you'd walk around in at night by yourself. I've read a lot of stuff their "consultants" come in to appraise is actually stuff those "consultants" are selling in their own shops. Just like they have a serious gun collector who comes in frequently to buy & sell - you'd have to assume a serious collector knows where to go for better deals on both ends.
I believe what you're saying. A friend of mine actually went to the store and got Chum's autograph and a picture. My buddy did say it was in a shitty area and not very big but had a few expensive items on display for sale. Sounds more like a tourist trap who makes their money selling crap like t-shirts.

that whole show is fake like most others. Those people are not getting rid of collectible historical documents and art work worth tons of money for the table scrap that they offer them.
