If you don't care about precious objects from our past you'll see the
Antiques Roadshow
as dull and uninteresting, but those who enjoy hearing about how cool
old stuff was made and why that stuff is so valuable today find every
episode to be priceless.
Many fans in
the U.S. have been watching the show from the very beginning, because
the American version began in 1997, but the UK version started the craze
way back in 1979.
People line up by the hundreds when the
Antiques Roadshow
comes to town hoping their "valuable" stuff lands them a spot on the
show, but only about 0.2 percent of the hopeful make it on the air.
Those
who have been lucky enough to land a spot have struck it rich more than
a few times, but an Oklahoma man's 18th-century Chinese cups still top
the list as highest appraisal ever, the cups worth around $1.5 million.
