Wannabang

Of course it's old – it was made in the mid-1800s. Did you pay no attention to the video at all?!
Jake

No shit
Wow lol

Are you retarded lol

Wittry

Antiques Roadshow is awesome!

PiratesFan

Precursor to Pawn Stars and every other show on TV right now.

Good for him. I bet he needed money for retirement!

Whale

He is now blowing a ton of coke of hookers tits.

Rafael_RS

TooBooKoo

I was expecting him to faint , or his dentures fall out.

JSJ

I was expecting a heart attack.

Verbal_Kint

Good for him. Now he can buy that sweet pad in Florida he's been eyeballing. Made me smile…

Death

They all move to florida to die.

Gee thanks. We didn't get the joke until you helped.

JPlunk

Oops, I thought Chive was posting something funny… -__-

TXlead

It's no supposed to be funny, it's supposed to be heartwarming. Clearly you're not from around here. Chivers have heart.

Hey, I've got to make a profit.
mikey

you know after i get it professionally cleaned and framed then its gonna be displayed and take up space in the shop. it will probably hang there for at least a year. so after all that i might make 20 bucks. best i can do is 10 dollars. that 350000 dollars is at auction. im not an auction. 10 bucks

Dumbphone

Am I the only one who assumed the worst when he started to clutch his chest?

Chris

nope
Becky

The video was cut short. I watched the full video when they told him they were pulling his leg and that blanket is prolly worth 25 cents. It shouldn't have been on display so they were messing with the poor old man. Pretty messed up if you ask me.

iSheep

Was that supposed to be a joke? Because that didn't happen.

'hanging on the back of a chair" incredible. so emotional of remembering his grandmother ..it's great when really good things happen to regular people. nice clip, thx chive.

VCB

Made me a little *sniff* misty. I love videos like this.

_LG

I could watch this show for hours, not just because of the insane historical finds… but because of the reactions of both the appraiser and the owner. Reality TV can't hold a candle to this show, imo.

This guy is incredibly lucky that he kept that thing over a chair! In my house, my cats would have completely pwned that thing.

This show is on PBS almost every day. It's one of my favorite shows to watch. I thank the TV gods that I get to watch this great show rather than honey-boo tard or whatever that show is.

i have no idea what u wrote, just marry me
r00s7a

I'm a big fan as well. Reality shows would have stretched this one appraisal out into a 30 minute show, with crappy reenactments, repeating what they just showed before commercial, and bad acting.
Laurie

Yes, if it had been in my house, it would have had just as much cat hair as hand-woven wool…

Job

Basically, its worth more than the fiat currency in circulation today. Poor fella.

http://www.markalmighty.com Mark Almighty

Job, I can only guess that the people who down-voted your comment have nary a clue what "fiat currency" is or what its domination of an economy does to the wealth of the average person. Hopefully, it's not because they are fans of government-sanctioned counterfeiting.

+1.

Josh

Mark, I know what fiat currency is. I still downvoted. Now go fuck yourself.

http://www.markalmighty.com Mark Almighty

Josh, your artful and reasoned explanation has convinced me that allowing a privately-owned banking cartel – i.e., The Federal Reserve System – to print all the money it wants to from nothing and loan it out at interest in an environment with restrictive legal tender laws is a great idea. What could possibly go wrong? I’m sure our $16 trillion national debt doesn't have anything to do with it, so I will sleep wonderfully tonight.

As penance for being so misguided, I will now go fuck myself. Stay classy.

Josh

I downvoted that comment too, Mark. Go fuck yourself again.

beasty

Up to half a mill is damn good, but considering Bieber is worth millions …….

I love this show and the reactions are priceless. Good for him.
Whale

Bcm

Showed this to one of my archaeology classes a few years back. Wonderful reaction. I'll take AR over pawn stars any day
remember this?

???
It's just a blanket!

Cool ol' dude – handled it a lot better than I would have. He didn't say "You're shittin' me!" or "Fuckin' A!"

VCB

I thought I heard him slip a "shit" in there, but I could have misheard him.

Adee_Do

Kit Carson was a piece of Sh*t, would not be surprised if he got his hands on that blanket by raping, strangling and burning the Navajo woman that weaved that blanket too. Good for this old man to score on this hand me down though.

iSheep

Holy shit, you're ignorant. Did you even bother to research Kit Carson before you posted?

Fucking hell, what are they teaching people nowadays?

Rez dog

I live on the Navajo reservation. My grandma has a blanket that looks exactly like that on her bed. I wonder….
