Grounds for Sculpture, Hour 2.  Here is the appraisal.

Thank you for highlighting that. For various reasons it felt personal to me.

Here’s an interesting story about two Tiffany lamps that disappeared after they were on Antiques Roadshow— https://www.wgbh.org/podcast/detours/david-and-the-two-lamps

The NY Times profiled Nicholas Lowry.  He is the person who almost always appraises posters on the show, and has a very distinctive wardrobe.

The show also returns with a new season on January 2, 2023.

I read the article as if he was talking to me! I’ve heard that voice for so many years! Tilda is so adorable!

Googled it. Thanks!

So I was watching last week's episode.  Was that Elaine Hendrix (the villain from the late 90s version of The Parent Trap) with the Little Red Riding Hood print being appraised towards the end of the episode?  It looked like her, but I didn't see anything on her Twitter mentioning it.

I’ve not seen the 90s version of the movie, so I’m no help!

No worries.  The Antiques Roadshow Twitter account confirmed it was her.

I just saw an ad that the next locale will be the Boise botanical gardens. I was able to attend! It was last May. I wasn't on, but I was there for most of the day. It was a lot of fun.

Did you see your favorite appraisers?

[DoctorAtomic]

Actually, yes. I didn't think you had to bring something. All I had was a Bulova watch from I thought the 40s. I got to meet Kevin Zavian, and he thought it was in great condition. He actually called the other guy over to look at it. Turns out it was from the 60s, but they really liked it. They even knew it wasn't the original watch band, which I had replaced. It's a great watch because it's powered by your body heat and doesn't need a battery or winding. 

I saw a few things being filmed so I'm interested to see what they're all about. They weren't allowing people as an audience, so to speak. 

I spent a few hours checking out the gardens and all of the stuff people brought. I talked to a local PBS guy that produces and hosts an outdoor show. He was thrilled that the show got me more into hiking. 

Normally you have to pay for admission to the gardens, but it was all free and you could stay as long as you wanted.

Season 21, episode 14 comment after appraisal of carved Noah’s Ark, ca 1850: “It’s something my family will always cherish” (pbs.org/video/appraisal-carved-noahs-ark-ca-1850-lbdz9g).

My comment to the TV: No they won’t!

I'm a little late to the party, but I've been binging Antiques Roadshow. 

My favorite drinking game is when someone (slightly older) says "it isn't for sale" or "it will stay in the family".   Nope, it will be sold as soon as you die, if not sooner.

Just watched the first episode of the new season in Alaska. This might be the most fascinating locale they’ve had. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love Alaska, even though I’ve experienced it only via an inside passage cruise.  But we plan to book a Denali tour in the near future. The items were so interesting especially the first guy with the photos that show the seal skin used as food storage, the blanket, and the northern lights painting. If this what this season has to offer, I’m really excited!

[DoctorAtomic]

I watched it on Monday. I liked the venue they chose too.

I've been catching up on episodes, and you will never convince me that Magic: The Gathering Cards are an antique or worth as much as the show is claiming. 

I know someone who travels around the globe to participate in Magic: The Gathering games/ events. He even won a trip to Scotland to enter an event. Given he's 41, I would imagine in 20 years those cards will be worth a lot as nostalgia brings back memories, for nerdy rich fellas/gals, who participated in these events.

Tonight (8pm EST on PBS), Monday, January 6, 2025:

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art Hour 1

Kick off ROADSHOW's all-new Season 29 with treasures that include a 1976 Marvel UK Super Spider-Man #175 cover art, a 1926 Rogers Hornsby sterling trophy, and Winslow Homer watercolors, ca. 1879. One is between $180,000 to $320,000!

ETA:
I really enjoyed the artwork. 

They seemed to have quite a few items with worth much less than what had been paid.

Why was the guy crying about the trophy? They never elaborated. 

I would totally buy and olde timey gas station sign to  play dominoes on though.

Maybe just the $$$$?

[Driad]

I didn't see this episode, but I don't enjoy seeing people getting overly excited and celebratory about the value of an item.  I'm much more interested in the histories of the items.

My favorite was several years ago. A man brought in a large ceramic plaque and was told it was worth $500. He said something like "That's a relief. I like having it on my wall.  If it were very valuable I would have to store it away."

I think he said the trophy was very meaningful to he and his family, and that talking about it was emotional.

Hi Antiques Roadshow folks. Would anyone else other than me, like a sub thread for Antiques Roadshow (UK)? Please let me know and if yes, I'll ask @CM-BlueButterfly about it.
