|    Antiques Roadshow appraisals...what to t    |

      From: dahoov2@cox.net              Just thought this was an interesting topic. Few questions..              1) has anyone been to this before? I was thinking of going but want to       be sure I won't have to pay twice if my husband goes... they are       charging a 100 admission which covers 3 things...              2) If you were to go, what would YOU take?              3) I need help deciding what to take. I was thinking these items        a. my watercolor from famed designer "Charles Le Maire"        b. my dinosaur egg        c. my deed to Highclere castle signed by Lady Carnarvon (even       though online experts seem to think it's worthless)              I have a lot of stuff but nothing "antique" really. I've a few things       from the 1800's like a velvet covered prayer book with a french       inscription on it with someone's name... and a couple other books       (school books with nice graphics and such). I've also got these       things...       a fossil (some sea creature), some gemstones (one is a large green       tourmaline which is flawless or near flawless), craploads of       autographs *but what to take?*, my costume from Santa Clause 2,       really, I have nothing of real value (thousands) to take... so was       thinking of making sure I didn't get ripped on the things I did buy I       think I got for a good deal, or those things which are of interest and       they can tell me about.              Some interesting graphs I might be able to consolidate and present       them as ONE item? like one binder? One of my favorite things is book       (it's a book; thick like one but is actually a program of sorts) given       out at an awards ceremony for a couple directors (one being Francis       Ford Coppola and is signed by him). I've got a premiere ticket signed       by Lucas, a watercolor painting from "the Land Before Time" signed by       the artist (animation department credited on IMDB), and other       drawings/paintings and crew items given to me by celebs... a       presentation cell, some signed animation cels...              I don't know what to take~ I only am allowed three items~~~~~       HELP!!!!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
