8:41 the green jade carving, is the coolest carving I've ever seen and to know it was carved so long ago when there wasn't any electric tools but still has immaculate details. It is a true piece of art.
Not to worry. After the 2008 melt down the art and antiques market collapsed. Unless it's a signed museum piece like the card table, it's just old brown wood furniture that no one wants. Fine art is recovering, Chinese for the moment still sells because the Chinese want their stuff back, but furniture is just sitting in warehouses waiting for the market to recover.
Lol....i'm with you there. I've had 30 relatives die in my life and i didn't get a nickel. So much as i know none of them had a will or a nickleI. Oh I did once get an uncles favorite greasy, worn out hat. But when i didn't build a shrine for it to be showcased and worshiped, she took it back. There are the haves, and the have nots, better get used to it.
That lady with the red stockings baseball archive that was appraised for $1,000,000 and had gotten a lowball $5,000 offer from a “private collector” sound a lot like rick from pawn stars you know cause he’s taking a big risk
"private collectors" usually totally lowball this kind of stuff because they know exactly how valuable they are and that the owner probably doesn't think they're worth much. The collector would have turned around and sold them for as much as they could get.
The guy who owned the Navajo blanket was my favorite. He made me tear up when they sold it at auction because they needed the money so badly. It was so great.
My girlfriend and I had taken a photograph by Ansel Adams to an appraiser in Pasadena, CA., and that blanket was spread out on a table being prepped for transport to auction. We got to see it up close. They called it a National Treasure. It was awesome.
The patek pocket watch is one of the most incredible feats of human engineering. It’s an enormously high quality and complicated piece and I laughed when I saw the appraisal originally and he said $250,000. I knew that petek Philippe had been buying up rare vintage pieces for their personal collection and that the watch would easily be worth a million dollars. No surprise it fetched for more. Keep in mind Paul Newman’s Daytona sold last year for 15,000,000 and it’s only a simple chronograph in steel.
When "Antiques Roadshow" came to my hometown, I knew one woman who brought in jewelry that was worth over $100,000...also a man who had antique silverware that got on TV (but I don't remember the value)...and a couple with a painting that was worth over $100,000 too. I took in a variety of stuff with family members and nothing as exciting occurred, unfortunately.
Right??? Ah, back in the day. I was always bored to tears when watching it.. now it just feels like a relaxing night with interesting history. I’ve always felt like I could smell the place they were filming in hahaha
The whole idea of a family heirloom is to keep it so it gains more value down the line. If I have a million dollar item i'm selling that stuff, pretty sure my ancestors wouldn't mind.
@@Max-is4qu That's fair enough. A few people brought up some good points. If I passed down a watch or something I would want my children to sell it if they needed to.
Keeping some of these items can be problematic. Especially art which must be handled very carefully. Sell the item and passing the money to family might be a better option. But what do I know I haven’t found anything more valuable than old cat toys in my house.
@@ReaperAHHH Just about every historian of the Ancient world agrees that most people in the NT & many in the OT are real people. Idk what ur souces are.
@@miriamllamas224 yeah and we were usually pretty close. Our mum could never understand why a 7 and 5 year old were obsessed with antique roadshow but we watched it every day right up until we were like 14 and 12 haha we still love the show now as nearly 30 year olds
#9 is two different people and two different blankets. The man who is shown with his wife saw the ARS clip featuring the first, older man and realized he had a similar blanket (which sold for I believe $1.5+ million) EDIT: Also for #3 the letters from the baseball players highly praised the cooking and living quarters of where they stayed, not complained. I...I watch a lot of ARS...
Actually, they did complain about where they were staying. The players seemed to love the lady/room/board they sent the letter to but seemed to be disappointed in the new place. I watch a lot of ARS too. While there were a lot of mistakes in this video/commentary, this was not one of them.
Yes, two separate blankets featured on 2 separate shoes. The second person with the blanket lived on a disability pension so it was nice to see him profit from the sale and be able to live a comfortable life.
Thank you! I was so confused when they said he worked til the age of 74. I was like when did they shoot that appraisal because he look like he was in his early 50s at most.
I LOVE ARS....one of my fav shows of all time!!! Best is when someone comes in thinking they have a really expensive item and it turns out it's plastic and only cost $1.50 lmaooo
Better than that is when the expert says the item is super rare, and would be worth a lot, but because YOU tried to repair it, its now pretty much worthless.
Agree! My favorites are when they start talking about how much research they did, practically interrupting the appraiser with how much they think they know. Seeing them eat that shit sandwich is pretty hilarious!
I remember an episode where the person had found an old Spanish helmet. I think that style is called a morion. It was estimated at $250, 000. as i recall. The guy said he had cleaned it with Windex, and the expert just said, please don't do that any more...lol
OMG the pronunciation of Rodin and Sotheby's... I'm dying inside... also, on #9 you've mixed two different stories about two different blankets... one was appraised on the road show and belonged to that older gentleman, the other belonged to a different man who saw the blanket on the roadshow and realized his might be the same.
I can't believe the man at #1 sold that watch.... I mean sure, it's worth a lot, but it's a one of a kind family heirloom!!! I can't imagine parting with something that special and unique....
I like watching Antiques Roadshow since there are people who find out their items are worth a lot more than they realize. One lady almost went into shock and started crying. One crew brought tissues but he too was crying.
It shows how much information and stories really carry, we love seeing that daily with our business. Some people sometimes get the wrong information or have a Chinese Whispers moment where they think something is worth a lot and really, they just had a really slick salesperson sell them it.
I'm 27, and found a clock with wooden gears and i paid $170 for it, turns out it's from 1819 and an Eli Terry, and most go for $1500-$9,400. I just enjoy it on my dresser, that's why I bought it...sometimes it's not worth selling stuff just to get the money...
1) I remember the card table. Those twins were FREAKING OUT. 2) If the voiceover dude does this sort of thing for a living, he should learn how to pronounce things.
the pocket watch, I mean the beauty of an original, an originally made tymepiece for that gentleman, a pocket watch with wooden box with original felt lining looking brand new!!! beautiful to infinity n beyond...🕊
rangergun - Lol yes, you do. It depends on where you’re living, but many states have a minimum for donations (like worth $5,000) as being a tax write off.
This made me laugh the legendary Casio watch everyone should have one in their collection I will be passing down a movado, 1954 mido, and a few other pieces
I love this show, I remember a man bringing in a Rolex he had purchased in the 40's as a soldier and nearly passed out at the appraisal of over 100 grand
It makes me happy that so many of these items got donated in the end. It'd be sad if they were hidden in some billionaires mansion, instead of being seen.
🔷🔷🔷 I've been collecting those proof of purchase seals on cereal boxes and one day when I'm older, I'm going to find out what they're worth...Cha Ching!
I should collect antiques but it scares the crap out of me if I bring an antique that occupy evil spirits. Next thing you know I see my dog tryna kill me while asleep 😂
Funny you should say that cause I bought an 1860's dresser from the Victorian home it was at. When I got home I put my hands on it and said, "I just love you." And I sware to God it moved a bit on it's own. I guess most folks would be afraid of it but I think it was cool, it has only done that once, but still cool. I have it in my dinning room so I can see it more & keep my 'goodies' in it like the silverware.
One of my favourite ones in the UK was a kind of gold Swan thing he had on the table and the expert said ''i would value that at about £5000" and the other guy said "wow that is great, did not expect to get that much for them"... The expert sais "wait this is for this item alone, do you have more to show us" and the guy sais "yeah I've got 4 more of the same thing in a bag"
6:08 Thank you for showing a picture of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham UK. It is a really lovely building and well worth a visit. I think you should have used a picture of the Birmingham, Alabama one - lol!
They forgot about the lady who found a helmet wedged in her attic rafter beams and polished it with Pledge....turned out to be a Mayan ceremonial helmet worth a quarter million. The appraiser said he'd only seen one other in a museum in all his life. That lady about had a myocardial infarction right there.
Most of these extremly valuable items are found and bought at garage sales for close to nothing .i'm only 35 years old, and i love this show,allot of people will call you old ,and lame for liking such a show ,but i don't care because it's extremly interesting ,and you can learn allot about what is worth money, and what isn't worth money ,so laugh at me all you want, because i'm laughing too ,all the way to the bank .
STRAYDTHABEAST Have you ever thought about that if many can be found for worth to nothing, do they really worth how much they claimed to ? A price is how much you can get in the market, not how much they claim they worth.
Where is the early American show with the grand-daughter found in her grandfathers attic a Conquistador parade helmet? It was a silver and gold inlaid helmet that was appraised from 1,000,000-1,500,000.
What’s really great is when you hear that someone paid $20.00 for a garage sale find . Then they find its worth hundreds of thousands . Sometimes people have no idea what some items are really worth.
And the final 'N' is pushed up into the nose with the back of tongue. And that 'R' might be far beyond the capability of the average American. Wait. What about the eighth month of the year? Owe-GOOSE-teh.
Watched that episode just the other day. The way Frasier and Niles edged their way into camera shot when they heard the clock was made for Russian royalty, was classic.
Shona O'Neill Why don't British people spell things properly? There is no r in Sothebys. That's my guess why an American not familiar with it wouldn't just add an r for no reason.
What about the woman who found the 13th century army helmet in her rafters when she was redecorating the roof of her attic. That helmet was worth $250,000 to $350,000.
I love this old things so much that I wrote a series of romance novels about an antique shop whose owner works to return personal items to those who should have them. 📚📕📖
If I had something that I passed down three generations, that turned out to have a value like that, I would be okay with it being sold like that. I would haunt my great grandson with a ghostly voice, "Boy, you better sell that watch for a million dollars if that's what they want to pay!"
It would be worth way more than $1.5 million today, even only a few years later. He should have approached Patek directly. There’s no way they would have missed the opportunity to acquire that for their museum. He could’ve named his price.
Bought a very dirty racing trophy in 1986 for $170. Turned out to be the Melbourne cup for late 1800's . Sold at auction in 2006 for $140,000. Lol xxxx
Add in the fact that the Mona Lisa was lost for over 50 years... and found in a chest in a brothel. Not sure if that is fact but it’s a good story. And, whenever they found it... how did it take it’s path from the brothel to the Louvre?
Thank you!! I know American English speakers like to drop letters they deem unnecessary , and that's fine for the most part, but Sotheby's needs the E!! I've noticed it before ( not just in robospeak) and it irks me - probably to an unnecessary degree!
Love the people who donate to the museums. History is important. Much respect to those who do.
Nah, they’re just looking to get a nice big tax cut so they don’t have to pay their fair share of taxes.
I would never!

Most of these extremly valuable items are found and bought at garage sales for close to nothing .i'm only 35 years old, and i love this show,allot of people will call you old ,and lame for liking such a show ,but i don't care because it's extremly interesting ,and you can learn allot about what is worth money, and what isn't worth money ,so laugh at me all you want, because i'm laughing too ,all the way to the bank .
STRAYDTHABEAST Have you ever thought about that if many can be found for worth to nothing, do they really worth how much they claimed to ? A price is how much you can get in the market, not how much they claim they worth.
Great video. Love the extra step of the value of those actually auctioned.
The presenter was VISIBLY excited by the statue? My god, what's happened to PBS.
I was just going to say that. And, I was going to say that it's the 'appraiser'.

Where is the early American show with the grand-daughter found in her grandfathers attic a Conquistador parade helmet? It was a silver and gold inlaid helmet that was appraised from 1,000,000-1,500,000.

I remember that story. For some reason I didn't believe a word of it. I thought it was missing from some museum.
Try googling the description.
It was supposedly a Milanese helmet.
They smashed watermelons on it as children, she said!
Learn how to pronounce the names, starting with Sotheby's !!
yes it is 'Sothabees'
I never knew it was Soathbees.
@@TooSourFilms Su tha bees
How about Robert Henri? 'Roberh Onrhi'
Truly! If all you are adding is VO, at least pronounce things correctly. I got as far a Rodin, and couldn't take any more.
What’s really great is when you hear that someone paid $20.00 for a garage sale find . Then they find its worth hundreds of thousands . Sometimes people have no idea what some items are really worth.
How do you put together a video with this subject and not bother to figure out how to pronounce Sotheby's?
Many thanks for showing a picture of the impressive Birmingham Museum of Art, Birmingham, UK at 6:09
the pronunciation doesn’t bother me cause idk how they’re pronounced
Good video!
It's Ro DAN (August Rodin) with accent on the second syllable.
And the final 'N' is pushed up into the nose with the back of tongue. And that 'R' might be far beyond the capability of the average American. Wait. What about the eighth month of the year? Owe-GOOSE-teh.
Yes as for the final "n" - I just couldn't think how to describe.
It's also Robert HenrEYE.
John R "It's ro-DAIN"
No, it's not. It's Rodin, not Rodeyne, so it's pronounced ro-DAN with a nasal n.
@@sbutler4 Thank you!
Cannot watch this without remembering that Frazer episode .. "Veneer".. have a swig of beer Martin.. RIP John Mahoney.
Watched that episode just the other day. The way Frasier and Niles edged their way into camera shot when they heard the clock was made for Russian royalty, was classic.
@@wufongtanwufong5579 I noticed that too and cracked up..
I've got a sweet set of garbage pail kids I need to have appraised.
Chuck Keough I threw out a pile of those from a drawer years ago.
Kimberly KKV they’re worth quite much now
Chuck Keough Why do Americans pronounce loads of stuff wrong? Sothbees? Try Sotherbees (phonetically speaking)
Chuck Keough did you also know that they were reissued.
Shona O'Neill
Why don't British people spell things properly? There is no r in Sothebys. That's my guess why an American not familiar with it wouldn't just add an r for no reason.
The background music is maddening 😂
What about the woman who found the 13th century army helmet in her rafters when she was redecorating the roof of her attic. That helmet was worth $250,000 to $350,000.
The woman probably knew it was extremely valuable. These are surprising appraisals
Me and my dad would get sooooo sucked into watching this
Shame when a narrator cant spend the tiny amount of time to figure out how to properly pronounce words on such a simple video like this.
Hey, we all love grandpa's sentiment, but a million five is a million five!!
I thought I was going to be watching clips instead of hearing commentary for the whole video.
I love this old things so much that I wrote a series of romance novels about an antique shop whose owner works to return personal items to those who should have them. 📚📕📖
Last item - at least 4 different watches are shown. Do you just grab random images off the internet?
Passed down from father to son for 3 generations and leave it to that guy to cash in and break the tradition. Lol
Giovanni Soluri maybe he couldn’t afford the insurance on it. Maybe he was in a tight situation. Who knows
If I had something that I passed down three generations, that turned out to have a value like that, I would be okay with it being sold like that.
I would haunt my great grandson with a ghostly voice, "Boy, you better sell that watch for a million dollars if that's what they want to pay!"
It would be worth way more than $1.5 million today, even only a few years later. He should have approached Patek directly. There’s no way they would have missed the opportunity to acquire that for their museum. He could’ve named his price.
Bought a very dirty racing trophy in 1986 for $170. Turned out to be the Melbourne cup for late 1800's . Sold at auction in 2006 for $140,000. Lol xxxx
Add in the fact that the Mona Lisa was lost for over 50 years... and found in a chest in a brothel. Not sure if that is fact but it’s a good story. And, whenever they found it... how did it take it’s path from the brothel to the Louvre?
Difficult to hear the names being butchered.
stop watching .....it's too painful....lol!
I used to adore this show as a kid
You keep pronouncing Sotheby's wrong. Its Suth-a-bees (The "th" as in 'the'.) Kinda a big mistake, you could of just googled the name.
it's a machine.. not a real human doing the narrating.. it doesn't know that shit
DocWattson Suth-beez 😅😅😅
You keep using "of" instead of "have". Kinda big mistake.
"Could have", "could've".
Not "could of".
"Rodin" was also mispronounced. Pronounced correctly, it rhymes with Roseanne.
Thank you!! I know American English speakers like to drop letters they deem unnecessary , and that's fine for the most part, but Sotheby's needs the E!! I've noticed it before ( not just in robospeak) and it irks me - probably to an unnecessary degree!
