I have an old sesame street blanket. Complete with spit up stains from when I was an infant. What do you think that's worth???

Your dignity?

*cuddles wth his glow-in-the-dark "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" sleeping bag from his closet*

love the reactions

Only $500,000? Pfft. I'll give him §7,000,000 (thats right, simoleons..) for it.

I was waiting for him to pull the damn rug down and show me that amazing treasure...

So is the half million dollar item behind the blanket? And did he say yutes? =P

lmfao

after all that hype about it, seems the guy was vaguely dissappointed that the estimate wasn't in the millions. I know I was. Sheesh!

^ ^ he wasn't unimpressed, he was having a heart attack.

either that, or he's worried people will find out his wife's bridge group weaved it last Friday night.

what a cute old man : )

Five minutes later, a group of Navajo Indians scalped him and took their chief's blanket back.

Lucky son of a... mother!
I might try to steal my grandmas blanket now.

I'll take that off your hands for a couple grand... you pay me, that is.

Wow. That made me feel pretty good. lucky old dude!

You made an old man cry, you evil appraiser you!

So happy it happened to such a nice old man.

The thing that always gets me about the Antiques Roadshow is how interested and attentive the people try to appear when the appraiser is talking about the history of the piece and describing it for the viewers, whereas the owner really just wants them to get on with it and hear how much they can pawn it off for.

It's still a fun show, though.

I was waiting for him to yell, "I'm RICH BITCH!!!"

Did the tags really need to be changed?

Reminds me of when I was 10 and my family moved into an old house surrounded by 2.5 acres of wooded land. My parents had a bunch of old trees cut down and hauled off. Turns out the trees were all older black walnuts, worth an average of $10,000 each. My parents figure they had at least 70 of the trees cut down.

We didn't figure it out until many years later, so we never tried to recoup any of that value from the lucky fucks who got to haul off the trees My Mom says they must have known the value based on how excited they were about the privelege of hauling away several loads of trees.

^ouch.

does youtube do regional blocking now? i'm in england, so if this is the bbc version of antiques roadshow that might be why it's dead for me.

A small, very evil part of me was kind of wondering if he was going to have a heart attack when he was told...

I was thinking the same thing... give the poor fella a chair and O2.
