When Vaneisha Robinson bought a diamond studded pendant in the shape of LeBron James' number 23 jersey at a yard sale four years ago, she thought it was costume jewelry.
"I used to go to high school with it around my neck, not knowing the value of it," Robinson said.
Robinson got curious about the pendant's value a few months ago when she noticed the diamonds were set in the same way real ones are. She took it to a local jewelry store for a once-over.

LeBron who?.............
"I'll give you $2000 for it."
Hilarious! Love that show.
I like that show. Chumlee is a dufus, but the rest are fine.
“I used to go to high school with it around my neck...”
Honor student, no doubt.
Wonder what the story is behind this. Maybe the original owner died and it got thrown in with junk?
That dudes laugh is scary like a dangerous stranger
It just sold, (or one just like it) on eBay for $9,670.00.
(I followed a link in the comments section)
My husband loves that show. I am getting a little tired of it myself. Rick’s laugh sounds wheezy like a heavy smoker, I’ll bet he is.
I like the show.
I wish they’d air more of the fakers and crazies, though. The guy trying to sell his home-made glass sword was priceless.
There must be tons of kooks coming into their shop. Let’s see them!
Mrs al baby and I went to the shop last time we were in vegas The place was packed but none of the guys were there except the big black dude you see by the door
It's more likely someone's old lady finally got tired of being a punching bag, or got herself a new man who was bigger. We had an abused neighbor once who gave away her boyfriend's killer stereo and big screen when she finally left him.
Did you buy anything?
We will be going to LV in the fall for the PBR and we are going to go to the pawn shop. We forgot to go there last year.
No. we saw the barber chair the death clock We just wanted to see the joint maybe meet some of the guys
As for yard sales - all I ever find is GARBAGE.
That’s usually what happens. My mom found more jewelry this way. There were a couple times when she clued in the seller, but not usually.
I have to disagree, Rick's son Corey is every bit as much of a dumbass as Chumley any day. And it's a crack up to hear him try to sound like his dad when he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. I bet the pawn shop loses a lot of money on Corey's bad buys.
serious bling thing.
