This is slightly off the sports topic, but The Antique Road show has periodically done features on sports items and the show was mentioned on this board earlier this month.
This morning I read that a valuable sword was brought to one of their shows. It was later found to be stolen over 70 years ago, but the people on the show pretty much stole the sword from person who brought it in for an appraisal. An interesting quote from the article:
The appraisers understated the value of an item, the FBI said, purchasing it on the cheap and then selling it to collectors for its actual value, which could be as much as 10 times the price they paid.
