“They want to talk with visitors about vintage sports memorabilia and other interesting items they might want to consign or sell at the famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas,” said Expo President Cassi East.
“Sellers of all types of historical items are encouraged to come meet the casting director and producer. This will be an exciting opportunity for anyone to bring in items for evaluation and for a possible appearance on a future ‘Pawn Stars’ episode,” she said in a news release.
The Leftfield Pictures casting team will be available on the last two days of the show from 11 am to 2 pm on Friday and Saturday, June 6 and 7.
