    After hearing of the significance of the Navaj blanket, the gentleman decided to auction it to help preserve it. It was estimated to bring in $500,000 to $700,000. It sold for over $1,100,000!! The new owner has loaned it to a national museum.

    Two things. I watch ARS a lot and happen to see quite a few of the items when they were appraised. The Diego paint was not in an office but was behind the door of a cabin in Mexico that the owner bought for a get away place, but it was behind the door for a while. The card table was part of a set of 8 pieces and this the only one known to be found (don't remember the maker) It was appraised by the twins from the show at 600K. In a later episode they told that the piece was sold at an auction for 825K. Overall a good video and I did like it.

Although in this case, the footage is original, but that guys annoying voice and dialog, once again, kills it.
