Garage sale treasure


In 2017 at ROADSHOW’s St. Louis event, Asian Arts appraiser Robert Waterhouse was approached by a guest named Ellen, who brought in a broken sculpture that was worth far more than might immediately meet the eye. Ellen said she purchased the figure... at a garage sale for $75 to $100...
He gives her a staggeringly high estimate of its value, but his estimate is staggeringly too low.
