Antiques Roadshow

Alright, the Roadshow is not really in the same category with what I normally blog about, but there's something really cool about it. There's just three things that are cool about it. I'll start with the first one, cause it effects me.

First of all the Roadshow gives me a good idea as to what antique might just be valuable. This being said, I certainly keep my eye out at garage sales or flea markets or similar stuff.

The second thing is watching people who thing they have something really valuable being told that the item is worthless. I think I've actually seen someone throw a worthless treasure away at the end of the show before. That's priceless.

The final thing is when someone brings in what they think might be worth a few hundred dollars, and are shocked to find out that their door stop is an ancient one of a kind treasure that is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm just waiting for someone to either have a heart attack or for it to be brown trouser time for one of these people. That would be great.
