A genuinely good man. I wish him the best.
Watched this particular show. This was the first time I actually gasped in awe!!
Thank you for preserving our Sonoran Plants and "traditional" gardening methods.. Love Petey Mesquitey
Sadly Ted's wife passed in May 2019 at 93 years old but he is still going at the age of 92 or 93 as of December 2019.
it's my favorite appraisal guy!!!
Mine too.......It’s in my saved videos list on RUclips
I love him...
Oh my, just saw in a video a similar, authentic blanket auctioned at John Moran Auction for 1 1/2 millions. That owner saw this old man with his blanket on the Antique Roadshow and one thing lead to another, the blanket was sold that much. Wonder if this kind old man had ever thought to auction it tho. I bet he would have gotten it for more than he got from the private collector. Then again, he probably didn't care much about that part. He just wanted it to be properly preserved. Aww.
I thought it was purchased at auction by the collector?
I’m curious if the DIA still has this blanket? I’ve been there several times in the past few years and still haven’t seen it, can’t find it in the archives on their site either
This Navajo weaving is called a First Phase Chief’s Blanket.
its interesting that they never mentioned my name in this spot. I am the person that appraised the blanket on the Roadshow. I am the person that sold the blanket to the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Well, I imagine you got a pretty penny for being the Intermediary in the selling process so that might lessen the sting?
How much did the blanket sell for at the end? Why was working for them horrible?
your appraisal made the reaction that much better, great job!
I read about AR's conflict with you, and it's disgraceful how shabbily you were treated. You were a true asset to the show, and this segment was a gem.
did they move it somewhere else? i dont see it listed in their catalog on their website?! :(
Just watched the Joe Rogan episode with Shannon O'Loughlin and Im kind of looking at this video in a different light.

The Blanket's price was never revealed ... how ever a similar blanket, owned by a disabled man on a small pension .... was sold at auction for over 1.5 million dollars.
Never underestimate two or three rich people's desire to outbid each other. I would think he went for a lot less. Not that 500k would be bad. Regardless I 'm glad it went well for him. He seems like a person full of character.
This blanket was sold for 1.8Million USD
So how much did it sell for?????
$1.8m

OMG..Did NO ONE notice the other textile on his wall (2nd item shown in intro)? Also @ 3:24. One just like it in museum in New Mexico. It is worth as much if not more than the blanket. WOW. I see Mr Donald Ellis down in the remarks; what is your comment on that please?
I was not thrilled about his remarks at his wife's expense at the end. MAYBE, just MAYBE, he actually isn't a good hearted man; just a guy that was tossed in front of a camera because he owned an old valuable blanket. I would not slam my wife with those kinds of remarks, especially on a NATIONAL show. Bad form.
Your name most definitely suits you - the other items were of no real value and he did not 'slam his wife'.
Dark Cloud the Donald Ellis in the comments is an impostor, but you would not know that with your naiveté and 5 cents analysis.
Wow...takes second-place - to these older textiles:

In America you need to find a national treasure, to afford your retirement.
I remember when some Mexican soldiers came to my house to steal an Aztec figure that my dad owned, the said that the thing belong to the country, I wonder how much that thing cost
Enrique Rodriguez sadly, Aztec artwork is notoriously cheap considering it’s age and history.
Fucking Aemon Targaryen what u doing there man? XD
I spent 10 years of my life spending summer weekends doing the Antiques Roadshow. It is my greatest regret. They are terrible people
shut up!
Anybody who would work with terrible people for 10 years is a complete idiot.
@Donald Ellis - the best way to let your thumb heal - is to quit hitting it with a hammer every summer for ten years.
Explain?
Forrest Trump would have taken it away and given nothing to him.
tripjet999 oh so you are one of those assholes who watches a good heart warming story, and turns it political and negative against President Trump. I get it; you must be a true libtard
