Watch as owners recount tales of family heirlooms, yard sale bargains, and long-neglected items salvaged from attics and basements, while experts reveal the fascinating truths about these finds. Three episodes - Simply the Best, Trash to Treasure, Politically Collect.
Simply the Best - Showcases the objects deemed the finest examples of their kind ever seen on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, including a superlative pair of circa 1795, Massachusetts-made Federal side chairs, valued at $30,000 to $50,000; a staggeringly rare 19th-century Rhode Island rifle and powderhorn, valued at $100,000 to $120,000; and the ""holy grail"" of American women's suffrage movement posters valued at $10,000 to $15,000.
Trash to Treasure - Unwraps more than 20 incredible tales of treasures rescued from rubbish heaps, roadsides, dumpsters, and demolition sites, including an autographed script of the Academy Award®-winning 1935 John Ford movie The Informer, valued at $4,000 to $5,000; a rare circa 1885 Zuni pot, valued at $15,000 to $25,000; and precious relics from Louis Comfort Tiffany's Laurelton Hall mansion, valued at $80,000 to $100,000.
