Antiques Roadshow (at home)
Are you a pack rat? Are you convinced that grandma’s crystal punch bowl will bring in enough on eBay to put your kid through the Ivy League? The new year is a great time to organize your stuff, assess its worth, and dispose of (or store) it wisely. The library has the newest editions of many standard catalogs and evaluation resources: Scott (stamps); Blackbook (coins); Kovels’ and others (various antiques & collectibles). Book collectors should check out Your Old Books and the website of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association, and some of the big commercial booksellers' sites (Advanced Book Exchange, alibris, Powell’s Books).
