Beatles Expert Guests on Let’s Talk Antiques

I learned some interesting tidbits in Martin’s radio show this week with Tim Neely. 

1. 45s are the most valuable record collectible. I wouldn’t have thought that there was a difference between 45s and LPs.  

2.  Turntables are becoming more valueable. This makes sense because once CDs came in, people starting throwing out their turntables and scarity increases value.

3. Plus, an interesting story about the Beatles “Butcher” album. 

Tune in The VoiceAmerica Channel to hear all about it.

Vintage Jewelry Expert Leigh Leshner guests on Let’s Talk Antiques

Leigh Leshner was a good sport on today’s radio show Let’s Talk Antiques on The VoiceAmerica Channel. There were technical difficulties and the phone connection was lost four times during the one-hour broadcast. One of the pitfalls of live radio.  They were successful in getting in a few words about vintage jewelry.

Martin’s blood pressure was sky high during the whole thing. Hopefully, it will come down soon.

Mark Chervenka Talks About Fake Tiffany Belt Buckles

Mark Chervenka was a great guest yesterday on Martin’s “Let’s Talk Antiques” radio show on The VoiceAmerica Channel. One of the interesting things I learn from Mark was about a big Bogus Buckles scam with fake Tiffany, Wells Fargo and Coca-Cola belt buckles. Some guy wrote a fake book about them, plagurized some work from a guy from the Smithsonian, all to sell these fakes. All this happened back in the seventies. Quite a story. Tune in to hear more about it.
