The "Pawn Stars" Fabergé spider episode is still discussed in online circles today. There was never any update on whether Rick Harrison managed to sell the brooch, but if he did, he likely would've made out with a nice payday. Reports indicate that a genuine Fabergé spider brooch could be worth anywhere between $80,000 and $150,000 at auction. Suddenly, it makes sense why Rick was willing to invest well over the woman's asking price to get his hands on it. Unfortunately, there are no updates of whatever happened to the spider brooch online and how much Rick ended up getting out of it if anything at all.
Some online have suggested the brooch could've been a fake. This seems to come down to "Getting a Head" being released on History on September 6, 2010. The following day, Time released a statement from Fabergé spokeswoman Tatiana Zherebkina about spider brooches. However, that statement was regarding online rumors that the company would begin manufacturing Fabergé spiders, to which she replied that it was "untrue and unfounded." The statement had nothing to do with "Pawn Stars," but many people appear to have conflated the two.
As such, there's no reason why Rick couldn't get a good chunk of cash out of the spider brooch he purchased, but that moment remains an all-timer for "Pawn Stars" fans. The segment was included in Season 11's "Fake or Fortune," which is basically a "Best Of" from "Pawn Stars" over the years, which brings back the Fabergé spider brooch. Hopefully, fans can get some closure on what happened to the rare item one day.
