6. High-value item with hidden flaws (Season 9, Episode 7)
A customer approached Rick with an antique vase purportedly worth tens of thousands because of the age and the craftsmanship. Rick was looking forward to a possible resale value as it had been purchased for a mere $25,000.
Initially, it seemed like a good find since he had not conducted an authentication process. However, experts passed it under their lens and discovered major flaws that would heavily reduce its value in the market. It turned out to be more decorative than collectible due to poor restoration work done over time.
