Default Antiques Roadshow Memo

Posted By: Mark T

In August 2008 i went to the Hartford, CT show. I brought a few baseball cards. I already knew the value but was hoping to get on TV.



You stand in a big line then when its your turn to enter the main area you get divided up into different categories (Sports, Paintings, Glassware). The very polite helpers directed me to the appropriate tables. I think they were hoping for a T206 Wagner....and i joked a bit before i showed them my cards, i said "would you guys know anything about a T206 Honus Wagner card". Their eyes lit up but i think they knew i was kidding.



When i did show them my cards, 2 gentlemen looked at them for 30 seconds and said "you can get the value on-line" and seemed uninterested even though they were pretty high value cards.



Oh well, the tickets were free and my son enjoyed the few hours spent there.
