Default Antiques Roadshow Memo

Posted By: Bill Cornell

They're out here in San Jose in August for the first time. Had to enter a lottery (results in April) just to try to get 2 tickets. I don't think I have a single item that's worth bringing for evaluation, but I'm digging around.

I think they tend to overvalue stuff, but you only see 1% or less of what comes through the door each week. There's a hype factor at work.

Leigh & Leslie Keno (twin brothers who are stars in the antiques field) say that being on the show is the best PR they ever had, for what that's worth.
