'A worthless piece of plastic'

How can you not think that something from the set of one of the biggest and most influential blockbusters of all time would have high value? Especially when you host a show that spotlights stuff like this. Should have been no surprise here at all.
 
Reminds me of the Comic Book Men episode when someone brought in a crappy fan made lightsaber and the guys declared it this priceless bit of film history...except the opposite. Too many "experts" out there who don't know crap about much of anything.
 
Just watched the piece and Fiona was interviewing the collector tongue in cheek, there really was nothing negative in the piece at all, I think it really only made the news because of the Star Wars topic.

It should be noted that Fiona Bruce is a BBC (news) presenter and not an antiques expert

This reminds me of when a woman I knew saw my first prop acquisition,.....a MR Obi Wan Kenobi lightsaber. "You're such a geek!" she said. Followed by "Does it work?"

Yeah, I'M the geek. :facepalm
 
Not unless there is a flaw in the forum software.

Interesting... my timestamps must be messed up. It shows this as earlier!

While I'm not familiar with the exact premise of Antiques Roadshow my guess is that the experts on the show would be more familiar with your traditional antiques (art, furniture, clothing, etc.) and not that up on movie memorabilia and I'd imagine those that are are probably more familiar pre-1970s memorabilia.
