      She is crying - she is choked up. Anyone who loves baseball would probably have the same reaction. I would imagine this nice old lady got a call from Cooperstown asking if the HOF could purchase this collection. Fantastic collection!

      Stesan1 Go M’s! As far as grandkids.great grand kids selling off, she can put an entail in place to secure ownership over many multiple generations. But I agree the HOF would likely have made a call and she probably sent them, on loan, to their establishment for public display (and at their insurance cost!). Leila Dunbar, the appraiser on the Antiques Roadshow is one of the best, in my top 5.

    This is history. I dont even follow baseball that much but this an insane collection. I got goosebumps reading the letters the baseball players left her great grandmother, they were writing the letters that day without knowing people 150 years into the future would be reading them. Oh and one of those players was Spalding, one of the most legendary brands in sports today.

  • @MrOldrock1

    Some of you may or may not know this, but these are all in reference to the Boston Red Stockings, which is not to be confused with the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Stockings, as the lady mentioned, originated as the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869 but did not play in 1870 due to financial reasons. Players from the Cincinnati Red Stockings then went to Boston in search of work, and the Boston Red Stockings were then born in 1871. The name changed in 1876 to the Boston Red Caps, because Cincinnnati continued with the Red Stockings as their name and the two teams, both charter members of the new National League, both couldn't be called the Red Stockings. The Boston Red Sox were charter members of the new American League, which first played in 1901. The Boston Braves played for 82 years in Boston, 13 in Milwaukee and the last 54 in Atlanta. The Boston Braves actually played and won their first World Series in 1914, and played the series in Fenway Park because it could hold more fans than the old South End Grounds. So, it's kind of interesting that the Reds, Braves and Red Sox are all sort of connected in one way or another.

There is even a team card for the final touch to make it all complete.

    this is why your show is a treasure. me and my family used to watch this show together. and my sister, God bless her, has left us this year. and that makes me pretty sad, I won't lie about that. and I don't want to be cynical and try to drum up Likes. that's not what this is about, Likes come and go - sometimes for comments that are pretty goofy or shallow, I'm sure some are even even faked, staged drama. this isn't that.
    but I _am_ emotional right now about it, because this show _itself_ is emotional. it's real. it's obvious. at least in these early days. look at how the appraisers actually do get so excited, even weepy in some scenes. you can tell they're absolutely passionate about this stuff. and that, to me, is what makes this show ITSELF a historical treasure. you live from this show, you even learn from it. and you get the great reactions. the very human reactions.
    anyway. be well, everyone. this is a great, great show. I'll always have those memories. be well. we'll get there.

      They have mentioned it a few times when people have expressed worry for getting items home. They do actually have some pretty serious security to protect people as they leave if it turns out their item is worth a fortune. It would greatly hurt their reputation if a story came out of someone being mugged for their antiques on the way out.
