I too thought that this find was well publicized and agree with drcy's comments above.
1. It's a TV show
2. Replacement value and worth vs. Current auction price is a big difference for the sake of insuring. Good luck replacing this collection so even if you paid $200k you'd certainly insure for much more even if not $1 million.
The same as I credit cards like the Wagner for bringing troves of goodies from attics across the States; I think finds like this help draw attention to those family heirlooms not yet shared.
Fun piece to watch and amazing find.
