7. Oscars And Other Awards Are Secretly Sold In Many Pawn Shops
Since 1929, over 3,000 Oscars made their way to the homes of thousands of celebrities. These awards are so hot that the Academy Award officials decided to make the sale of the awards illegal in 1951. However, this doesn’t mean that actors, film developers, and other people cannot get their hands on an Oscar.
As long as they know what Hollywood pawn shop to contact, and have enough money, they can purchase an Oscar through the pawn shop. According to some pawn shop owners, these awards go for as low as a few hundred to thousands of dollars.
