The format pairs heartfelt personal stories with forensic appraisal: experts examine makers’ marks, materials, construction techniques, provenance, condition and any restorations, and consult auction records and specialist reference works to determine significance and market value. Viewers see a wide range of objects—furniture, paintings and prints, silver, costume and fine jewelry, ceramics, textiles, toys, militaria and Americana—and the program often highlights how rarity, historical context and documented ownership can transform an ordinary object into a valuable discovery. Mark L. Walberg moderates the proceedings and helps communicate the emotional and educational impact of each find. The show has had a measurable influence on collecting trends and public awareness about preservation and provenance, occasionally revealing finds that command five- or six-figure estimates and prompting follow-up research or conservation. For viewers who might bring items to an appraisal event, consider these practical tips: Document any known history or paperwork, including where and how the item was acquired. Photograph all views and detail shots of marks before transporting; avoid cleaning or attempting repairs that could reduce value. If an item seems fragile or valuable, consult a professional conservator or a reputable auction house for safe handling and transport. Following those steps improves the chances of an accurate assessment and helps preserve the object’s condition and story. For DVD Player (North American NTSC)
