Remember
Antiques Roadshow's first million-dollar appraisal, filmed last June? You may have
seen it in the season premiere last night.
Owner Jinx Taylor was stunned when appraiser James Callahan said her Chinese jade collection from the Qianlong era could bring up to $1 million at auction. But Taylor sold the pieces in October and they didn't bring nearly that much,
according to the Maine Antique Digest. Instead, Taylor got $494,615 for the collection. She also consigned to the same sale about 30 other items she had not brought to the
Roadshow; seven of those brought in another $350,523.
