<\/p>\nIf you appreciate antiques with extensive back stories, then there is nothing more relaxing than kicking back at the end of the day to watch a little Antiques Roadshow. I love being completely phased by the appraisal values of certain pieces. But most of all, I watch the show for the reactions of the antique owners. From the flabbergasted and newly wealthy to the uncomfortable nodding from owners whose pieces have less than impressed, I love every minute of the emotional rollercoaster that is the Roadshow.<\/p>\n

On Monday, January 4, 2010 at 8\/7C PM, Antiques Roadshow\u2019s season premiere features a record-setting appraisal of four Chinese carved jade objects–estimated to be worth as much as $1,070,000–the
\nhighest value appraisal ever featured in the series’ fourteen years on PBS. The collection was discovered at ROADSHOW Raleigh, North Carolina, event last June.<\/p>\n
But the question remains: How has the recession affected the antiques market? “As values forantiques rise and fall like other markets, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW answers that question, one treasure at
\na time,” said series host Mark L. Walberg.<\/p>\n
