Notes
- ↑ The date of the coffee grinder and the type of film used for the home movie is derived from History.com, accessed April 19, 2010. The same site also gives the 1980s as the date of the lunchbox, which is clearly an error, as the seller in the episode explicitly said it was from 1967, which is in line with when The Rat Patrol originally aired on ABC. Title cards seen in the episode indicate the home movie is dated "1939 or later", but 1945 is given as the closing end of the range in this article, since that is when President Franklin Roosevelt died.
- ↑ The papers are repeatedly referred to as "Pentagon" papers in the episode, however the cover of the top booklet reads "FBIS Reports 1–31 August 1972". The Foreign Broadcast Information Service is part of the Central Intelligence Agency, and not the Pentagon.
- ↑ The seller indicates in the episode that the one dollar bill is from 1895, but the onscreen graphic indicates it is dated 1875.
- ↑ Picture of DVD cover shows that the set is called "Pawn Stars Volume 3", even though it is listed as Season 3.
- ↑ Note: The episodes up to and including "Chummobile" are included in Volume 3 on iTunes, with the remaining episodes selling as Season 4.
