It's fascinating to watch the Antique Road show...I admit I'm hooked on it. They did take a hit on their reputation a few years back though, when a pair of appraisers were kicked off for having an "staged" appraisal of a supposedly rare find of a Civil War sword. That sword it was later found was brought in by a friend of one of the appraisers. They also were found guilty of defrauding the descendants of a Confederate General's artifacts which were bought at a low price and resold later at a much higher price.
