  • Completely Different Title:
    • In Portugal and Spain it's called "The Price of History" (or, in the respective languages, "O Preço da História"/"El Precio de la Historia"). This is repeated with the spinoffs: Pawn Stars UK is called "The Price of History: United Kingdom" and Cajun Pawn Stars is "The Price of History: Louisiana".
    • In Brazil it's called "Done Deal" ("Trato Feito"), with the spinoffs being "Done Deal: United Kingdom" and "Done Deal: Louisiana".
    • In Italy it's called "Affari di famiglia" ("Family Deals")
  • Died During Production:
    • Richard “The Old Man” Harrison’s death on June 2018.
    • Autograph expert Drew Max passed away of alcoholism-induced liver disease in April 2020.
  • Dueling Shows: TruTv's Hardcore Pawn, though it deals more with the drama of a pawnshop rather than the items.
  • In Memoriam: The "A Treasure Remembered" special, which was dedicated to The Old Man a few days after he passed away.
  • Informed Attribute: For being a pawn shop, not a lot of pawning is featured. This is actually justified here because pawning is legally a form of banking and requires substantially more paperwork to feature onscreen.
  • Meme Acknowledgment: After the bombardment of calls requesting Battletoads, a copy of the game appeared in the background of an episode.
  • The Other Darrin: Other experts occasionally replace Rick Dale and Danny Coker, presumably because they're too busy with their own shows.
  • Writer Revolt: Rick and Corey's fighting in the second season was artificial scripting caused by Executive Meddling. After the bitterness started seeping over into real life, Rick told the History Channel to stop it or they would end the show/take it to another network, and they listened. This incident is referenced in the new version of the opening, where Rick mentions family being more important than business.
