PBS’s “Antiques Roadshow” continues its treasure-hunting expedition this Monday, stopping at the Maryland Zoo. Forget lions and tigers and bears; this week, the thrill is in the hunt for vintage finds and historical gems. Among the items up for appraisal are Topps uncut card sheets from 1973, sure to pique the interest of any serious sports memorabilia collector.
But the potential treasures don’t stop there. A collection of rings dating back to the 1970s, each with its own story to tell, also lands on the appraisers’ table. Plus, a 1967 Ram Kumar oil painting makes an appearance, offering a different kind of artistic appraisal, a canvas holding potential value far beyond the initial glance.
For over two decades, “Antiques Roadshow” has won over audiences with its blend of history, appraisal expertise, and the sheer surprise of uncovering hidden value. The show’s unique format – bringing experts to locations across the country – provides a look into the stories behind everyday objects, and the ways in which history can hide in plain sight. You never know what treasures, or unexpected stories, might pop up. Tune in to PBS on Monday, April 21st at 8:00 PM ET/PT to witness the discoveries unfold.
