This evening's installment of Antiques Roadshow on PBS featured a collection of Edward Gorey items. The immensely popular appraisal show was taped in El Paso Texas on June 8, 2011 (each season is taped the preceding summer). The items shown included limited edition books, a theatrical poster and a hand made Figbash doll. Book dealer Ken Sanders conducted the appraisal. It was nice to see a lovely display of Gorey items being featured.To see more about this appraisal, go to PBS.org.

Nice to see the collection, but the valuations seemed a bit unrealistic.
I have been describing the valuation as "optimistic". It is nice, however, to see Gorey's pieces featured on this very popular show.
I have all of those and I'd be happy to sell them for $5000! heh. I wish that collector had had some original artwork--I have a couple pieces I'd love values for.
You can email me and we can discuss your art if you wish. ampootozote@aol.com
