I've been catching up on episodes, and you will never convince me that Magic: The Gathering Cards are an antique or worth as much as the show is claiming.
I just watched the vintage episodes of Salt Lake City and L.A. and don’t remember seeing those cards. Do you recall what the appraisal value was?
On the L.A. episode, there was a Victorian insect collage with butterflies, scarab beetles and other insects. It was valued at $2,000-$3,000 in 2005 and held its value in the 2020 update. I know Victorians loved their stuffed birds, animals, and all sorts of nature pieces, but I thought it was gross. YMMV!
It’s always sad to see appraisers who have no firm or company under their name when they identify them on screen because it usually indicates that they have passed. I knew that Richard Wright, the doll appraiser, passed several years ago. But in the to-be-expected category, the older gentleman in the wheelchair must have passed and another older gentleman whose face has been particularly pale for some years must have passed as well.
