I have seen lots of Antique Roadshow "experts" give hysterically bad
values over the years, because they have no clue as to the real

they do on items I have no clue about).
Put that together with the several times "experts" have been caught
"scamming" on the show (given something a skyhigh "value" so they
can sell it to a chump later for "way under the Roadshow price), and
you have a show that may have entertainment value, but little
educational value.

In case anyone missed it, on last night's episode of AR Gary Sohmers
did an appraisal of a collection (mainly stills and lobbies) owned
by a woman whose grandfather was in the theater business for 60 years.
There's a video of the appraisal and a slideshow of some of the stills:
