"Antiques Roadshow Guest Shocked by Diamond Ring's Staggering Value Hidden in a Sock"

A guest on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow was shocked to discover that her mother's diamond ring, which she used to keep in a sock to prevent losing it, is worth £20,000 ($AUD39,000). The ring, made in 1915 from platinum and a transitional cut diamond, was appraised by fine jewelry specialist Joanna Hardy. Despite one of the claws needing adjustment, the guest was thrilled by the valuation and expressed her intention to get it fixed quickly. This follows a previous episode where a damaged Omega watch, run over by a lawnmower, was also revealed to be valuable.

Antiques Roadshow appraises $10,000 Pokemon card collection.

A Pokemon card collector's binder worth around $10,000 was appraised on Antiques Roadshow, featuring Base Set cards and rare Shadowless copies from the 1990s in excellent condition. The host suggested selling the cards individually to earn more money, but warned that the Pokemon market is volatile. The increased value of Pokemon cards has led to a rise in theft, with one group stealing over $1M in collectibles in March 2023. Recently, a PSA-graded Trophy Pikachu sold for $300,000.

Antiques Roadshow Appraises Valuable Pokemon Card Collection.

A guest on Antiques Roadshow brought in a binder containing all 102 original, base-set Pokémon cards, which were appraised by pop culture appraiser Travis Landry. The cards were printed in two variations, with the shadowless copies being more rare and valuable. While the holographic Charizard could fetch $2,000 to $3,000 now, it could have sold for as much as $15,000 at the height of Poké-mania during the pandemic years. The binder was estimated to be worth $5,000 to $10,000 by Landry's conservative estimates.
