Antiques Roadshow Memo
Posted By: Dan Bretta
They've done an excellent job this new season with baseball memorabilia...I'm guessing that can be attributed to having Mike Gutierrez of Heritage on board...anyway on tonight's show they had a gal whose father owned the Independence, MO baseball team that was Mickey Mantle's first professional club and she had one of his paychecks endorsed on the back along with a team photo. Gutierrez appraised the check at $30,000-$50,000...she then said she has five of them total. |

Not so sure it's overvalued. Possible earliest Mantle signatures with rock solid provenance...and I'm pretty sure that autographs are Gutierrez's specialty. I wouldn't burn any, but I'd let them out slooooowly. |

I agree that the value was pretty close...until she said she had 4 more!!! I liked the picture w/Mantle closing his eyes, too. |

It will be one of the Chattanooga episodes which will be in March, I believe. |

Can't wait for that episode Andy. They must be intentionally seeking out baseball stuff this year as I believe Clint H. was contacted for the Wichita show. |

Personally, I'd think that those payroll checks are realistically worth $5000-8000 apiece, but that's just me. I could be wrong. Regardless, my estimate makes room for future value. The earliest dated check carries the most weight, making room for a slightly descending value scale. |

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. |

This is one of my favorite pieces they did on baseball. A guy bought a 1950's uniform for $50 20yrs ago and it turned out to be a 1951 Willie Mays Minneapolis Millers uniform. Appraised for $60,000-$80,000. Pretty cool... |

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. |

I took these 2 items to the show in Las Vegas in the late 90's. |

Yes nice to see bb stuff on the roadshow. I agree about who gets on or not...its the suprise element that makes the cut. I think they are more leary now too..and scrutinize the appraisals. I remember the Civil War dealer/appraiser who was kicked off for bringing in a ringer..who supposedly brought a rare sword onto the show without knowing what it was..turned out he and the dealer were in on it from the beginning. |

A few months back I saw a little girl's shoe that had been signed by Ruth and Gehrig. The provenance was good. A newspaper did a story about the girl and the presenter had the original clipping. Of course the girl kept wearing the shoe and wore the signatures off! A good story nonetheless. |

One of my favorite examples of provenance was for a Babe Ruth game used bat in a Lelands auction. The consignor was an old man who as a kid won the bat as first prize in a spelling bee or some such contest. Included with the bat was an original newspaper article naming the guy as the contest winner, plus a letter from Babe Ruth saying in effect "Congratulations. Here's of my game bats." |

Greg - thanks for the link. Not sure I agree that the 1914 CJ Matty is "by far the most scarce Cracker Jack card", but certainly the most valuable. |
