Eleventh place in the Antiques Roadshow Top Appraisals

Formerly the tenth place holder, but knocked out of position in January 2010. This is a painting by Jasper Cropsey. Accompanied is a letter by the artist addressed to the original owner of the painting, signed J.F. Cropsey. Never on the market and in the family for nearly a century.

WHAT?! THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST TEN VIDEOS?! DAMN YOU DAMN YOUUUUUUUUUUU HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SLEEP NOW?!

[Ultranothing]

@convoku Actually, there should be one more. Apparently some other Roadshow find was worth enough to appear on the list, but I've just been too lazy to upload it and reorganize all the videos.

Very happy you've enjoyed them all. But please, keep your pseudo-intellectual reflections and distorted perceptions of history, (like how America is bad) out of the comment section.

There was a young lady with a Spanish Conquistador helmet many years ago that she found in her attic and was going to throw away. I think it was appraised at $250,000 - $500,000. If it is in your list, I must have missed it. Thank you for the uploads!

@unclearless From IMDB: "One of the episodes featured a woman with a fifteenth century Spanish parade helmet; this episode has been taken off the syndication list because the producers were unable to reach the woman later."

And I haven't been able to find the video. I've asked around. If you find it, let me know - I'd love to add it!

Nice generalization...using this perspective I quess British are obsessed with old men chasing around women with tassels on their breast.

@Ultranothing The real story behind them taking that episode off the air is that this was a "ringer", someone who the appraiser knew and brought in. So they took that one (and a couple other episodes that did the same) off the air.
