With those 3-4 team cabinets and a dozen(ish) individuals, I'd say they were WAAAY off too. Gutierrez is supposedly an auto guy anyway. I've not been overly impressed with him or with the other dude on there when they've had BB stuff. I'd say those cabs would push $40-$50K in the right auction.
The Eskimo Indians stuff at the end was shocking.....the woman was just slightly impressed. I would have been floored.........$300K? Last edited by autograf; 05-11-2010 at 09:21 AM. |

I think Gutierrez did a horrible job here...no names given. Didn't even address the 7 or so cabinets that were on the table. I'd love to know what those were.

I watched it last night and as I recall it was suggested that these might have been stolen from a museum ? Just a hint but I thought at some point he was going to say no value because they were stolen and may be reclaimed at any moment. Did anyone else get this impression?

John Spalding who wrote the book used in the sequence is very much alive and well. I spoke with him two weeks ago concerning some old guides. I am sure John might have some insight as to where the cabinets came from and how they came into Roadshow?

My dear Watson this could be fun for our group. Deaccaessioning and disposal of materials from a museum usually follows a formal policy and should be well documented. So let's see if we can get a few elementary facts.
Can we start with the propostion that these photos are circa 1887? If they had been in a museum is it logical that it was probably in California? Was there a photo credit given in the book? Just a few inital thoughts --I would think if these were, in fact, deaccessioned there would be a record at the musuem and it could greatly enhance the claim of the owner. Any other facts we can assume? |

QUOTE] I agree with Tom, definitely underpriced in today's market. He downplays the rarity of the cards because they are all "journeymen"? Give me a break. You can also count me in with the crowd that feels something fishy occurred in the way they were acquired. If my great grandfather had played with the team and they were passed down to this guy by his grandfather, I would have to assume great granddad would be one of the cabinets and not the only one missing. Strange... |

I wonder if the grandfather loaned them to the museum and then they were returned to the family at a later date or something.
I bought a collection of photos once from a lady who sold me all the photos except her grandfather, she didn't have it. When the family divied them up years before it was divided that the photo of the grandfather went to one kid and the other had to settle for all the rest of the photos. As for value, the team photos are worth $5,000+ each and it looked like there were 4 of those. The rest are worth at least $1000 each and probably more depending on condition and who the players were. MINIMUM $40,000 |

Cool too see that in my hometown episode. Agreed too..the quote was waay too low... it would definitely be interesting to see if John Spaulding can shed any light on this. I remember seeing him at bay area shows over the years..very nice man and scored some cards off of him too.

Screw baseball cards. I'm gonna start collecting over-sized Eskimo spoons and carved raven thingamabobs. Same episode. $300,000. Wow.

Luckily, I'd been collecting that stuff only four days. I guess if you haven't been an Eskimo your whole life, they don't want you sharing ideas that have little to no basis of fact. Last edited by Rob D.; 05-11-2010 at 02:13 PM. |

Those Inuits can really get under your skin...likewise Hottentots.

This sounds vaguely familiar. Were the guy who insisted on calling Malamutes "Sled Lemurs?"
