Default Antiques Roadshow

I was watching Antiques Roadshow (love that show!) recently and a
woman with a rare old LDS book was getting it evaluated by a so-called
"expert".
The book was over 150 years old and in fragile condition.
The lout who was appraising it was putting his greasy hands all over
it, treating it a bit roughly before telling her it was worth tens of
thousands of dollars.
Would it have killed that imbecile to put gloves on before mauling
such a rare and valuable book?
Sometimes I wonder about the qualifications of these so-called
"experts".
