Episode #118
War broke out – a bidding war, that is – when a rare Baltimore quilt, appraised on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in 1996 for $10,000 to $15,000, came up for auction at Sotheby's. ROADSHOW FYI gets a blow-by-blow of the battle scene from the owner and the distinguished bidders: the Maryland Historical Society and Colonial Williamsburg. Then, ROADSHOW FYI correspondent Clay Reynolds checks in with a flock of migratory antiques dealers at the venerable Winter Antiques Show in New York to learn why dealers often travel to sell their wares. ROADSHOW FYI and appraiser Alasdair Nichol track down a horse lover who leaves her steeds in the stable, but gives her passion for equine collectibles – from paintings to porcelain to placemats – free reign in the house. Wrapping up, sports memorabilia expert Simeon Lipman talks about a legendary missing piece of sports history: the winning homerun baseball hit by the Giants' Bobby Thomson in the 1951 National League Pennant series against the Dodgers, immortalized as "The Shot Heard Round the World." Lipman speculates that the ball, which disappeared into the lower stands at the Polo Grounds, never to be seen again, would be worth at least $1,000,000 if authenticated.
