With experts David Harper and Steven Moore as their guides, the pair will be scouring local shops and markets, hoping to turn their vintage finds into auction profits. Matthew’s eye is on fishing-related antiques, while Shazia sets her sights on gaming and sports memorabilia. This friendly rivalry adds a touch of playful tension to the proceedings.
