Antiques Roadshow appraisals...what to take?
Just thought this was an interesting topic. Few questions..
1) has anyone been to this before? I was thinking of going but want to be sure I won't have to pay twice if my husband goes... they are charging a 100 admission which covers 3 things... 2) If you were to go, what would YOU take? 3) I need help deciding what to take. I was thinking these items a. my watercolor from famed designer "Charles Le Maire" b. my dinosaur egg c. my deed to Highclere castle signed by Lady Carnarvon (even though online experts seem to think it's worthless) I have a lot of stuff but nothing "antique" really. I've a few things from the 1800's like a velvet covered prayer book with a french inscription on it with someone's name... and a couple other books (school books with nice graphics and such). I've also got these things... a fossil (some sea creature), some gemstones (one is a large green tourmaline which is flawless or near flawless), craploads of autographs *but what to take?*, my costume from Santa Clause 2, really, I have nothing of real value (thousands) to take... so was thinking of making sure I didn't get ripped on the things I did buy I think I got for a good deal, or those things which are of interest and they can tell me about. Some interesting graphs I might be able to consolidate and present them as ONE item? like one binder? One of my favorite things is book (it's a book; thick like one but is actually a program of sorts) given out at an awards ceremony for a couple directors (one being Francis Ford Coppola and is signed by him). I've got a premiere ticket signed by Lucas, a watercolor painting from "the Land Before Time" signed by the artist (animation department credited on IMDB), and other drawings/paintings and crew items given to me by celebs... a presentation cell, some signed animation cels... I don't know what to take~ I only am allowed three items~~~~~ HELP!!!! |

I like what you have listed. It's a nice diversity in items. The episodes that I've seen, the people always seem to bring things along the same line i.e. books, vases, etc.

From your house, if you were going, any idea what you'd like to take?
I guess going in, you'd have to feel something is worth more than you paid for it or at least more than the 33 dollars as that's what the appraisals are...

While I have been collecting for years, I really don't think that I have anything of value to anyone else other than myself. If I had to take items though, it would be my custom framed cast picture of the original 'Trek' case with matted index cards and custom framed picture of Gene Roddenberry with matted index card. As for a third, my mother has a China doll that she's had since childhood so that would make it at least 61 years old.

All good items. It's so hard as we all think we have stuff of
value... but the other night I looked around and thought gee, I don't have anything of great value at all. I mean I got lots of great stuff but like you said, it's great to ME. LOL I was also thinking of animation cels; taking a couple of those (like my Hanna Barbera signed Droopy one).

Ugh. Didn't check my message. Of course, that should read
"original 'Trek' CAST" instead of case. Then again, a custom 'Trek' case could be interesting too. :-) -- Mike Gummby3 -= Star Collector =- www.star-collector.net Celebrity addresses the way they should be - free.

I dropped by before it started and noticed some of mom's dolls sitting on the floor about to be priced. So I ask, "Bob, what price are you putting on that big one." He tells me $2.50. It was mom's Shiirly Temple doll from the 40s. So we pulled it from the sale and instead gave it to mom's favored niece as a keepsake. Best, Bill |

I would probably take my vintage '92 Winston All Star NASCAR poster, from
the first Charlotte Night race, with approximately 80 autographs on it from that event. I have all drivers autographed except for Alan Kulwicki, who's been dead since '92 since a plane crash. They would kill me-I had the poster printed drymounted on foam board, and I have written the name of each person, and date/location on the back of the framed print.... pe2 |

That's really nice. The doll went to someone that would appreciate it,
not so much for the dollar, but the sentimental value. I've always hoped that I would be able to pass my autographs to someone that really appreciates them. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to them if something happens to me... -- Mike Gummby3 -= Star Collector =- www.star-collector.net Celebrity addresses the way they should be - free.
