   Antiques Roadshow appraisals...what to t   
   17 Mar 08 16:41:11   
   
   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!!!!
