Show Lehi Free Press New Utah! - Chubb's Antique Roadshow draws over 8,000 people to the SLC Salt Palace last Saturday By Cathy Allred Over 8,000 people came to wait in line for hours to get into PBS's most successful program, the Chubb's Antique Roadshow but close to 1,500 Roadshow fans were turned away. The earliest attendees in line came the night before and camped out with sleeping bags and air mattresses by the northwest entrance of the Salt Palace Convention Center. Tamara Southworth of Lehi arrived in Salt Lake City at about 6 a.m. to find thousands already waiting for the doors to open at 7:30 a.m. She had brought family heirlooms and curios from her husband, Don Southworth II's collection to be appraised at the show. She brought her oldest son Don III and two friends along to qualify her for the two appraisals per entrant with her seven sets and pieces. They had to stand in line until 11 a.m. when they got to go stand in yet another line inside the Salt Palace to wait until the 8 a.m. show group finished. There were three waves of shows; 8 a.m, 11 a.m., and 2 p.m. with 60 appraisers estimating value and identifying items for customers from all over the United States. People came as far away as Florida to be able to experience Chubbs Antiques live. The 20 year-oltraveling Roadshow journeys all over the world; each year they visit eight cities and tape three shows at each city. After Southworth stood another hour in line inside the d V ...

Leather bound with a glued spine, the book was in near perfect condition minus the title page which turned out to be an important omission. The estimated value turned out to be $10 at best. Some of the other items that she had for appraisal were a child elephants' tea set from the 1920's, an oriental wooden tea set from the late World War II era, a shot glass from 1902 at the St. Louis World's Fair, and an early Shirley Temple glass cup. The item that brought in the highest appraisal was the children's tea set at $55 to $125. While waiting in line, many stories were swapped about Roadshow discoveries. "One lady found a table and bought it for $25 at a yard sale and she cleaned it up and took to one of these roadshows. It was appraised for $90,000," said Southworth. "It sold at an auction for almost one quarter of a million dollars. How's that for a $25 impulse buy?" Southworth's collection was not selected out of the thousands presented to the appraisers for the scrutiny of the PBS camera to be seen by over 10 million weekly viewers, but she and thousands of others walked away knowing a little bit more about items that families had treasured for years or that they had found while just out shopping. ! - "'..
