Treasure Hunters Roadshow & Associates conduct events all over the United States, Europe and Canada purchasing two hundred and fifty dollars worth of precious metals, collectibles, antiques and historical items. The roadshow which is largest of its kind in the country, is able to pay sensational prices for both precious metals and collectables due to their relationships with hundreds of collectors across the world and their direct link to gold and silver refineries. Every week, dozens of Roadshow teams travel across the country making sensational offers while abiding to all state laws, regulations and permits regarding the purchase of items.
Visitors to the Treasure Hunters Roadshow can expect an inviting atmosphere while being able to interact directly with experts. During this five day event, which is typically held in a hotel ballroom or convention center, local residents are invited to bring items they have always wondered about. Some of the recent finds of memorabilia are: The massive Louisville Slugger used by Babe Ruth to hit the first Yankee Stadium home run old at auction for $1.26 million in 2004. While collectibles of this caliber are rare, there are still countless items worth tens of thousands of dollars just waiting to be discovered in closets and attics throughout the world. The original ‘rules of basketball’ notes, written by the inventor of the game, James Naismith, were sold at auction for $4.4 million in 2010. The 70th home run ball hit by slugger Mark McGwire was auctioned for $3 million in 1999. A 1909 T206 Honus Wagner baseball card sold for $1.62 million in 2008.
Saultites wondering if they are sitting on hidden treasure have had ample opportunity to find out this year. Treasure Hunters Roadshow conducts a travelling ‘road show,’ and its experts has rolled into town and set up shop at a local hotel, with offers of cash for gold, silver, coins, jewelry and collectibles. Saultites were so collectibles-crazy a few years ago that as many as a dozen “pickers,” regularly attended Bailey’s auctions hoping to scoop up a deal and double or triple their money by selling it on eBay. Taxes on those online sales, and the recession, appear to have put an end to that phenomenon, on Tuesday the gold price per ounce is $1500 per ounce which is 25% more than the last summer. The participants of the show are totally mesmerized by the genuineness of the show. The show has in fact proved to be a savior for thousands of people in times of financial crisis. The show has not only saved people from selling off their properties but also provided for food by giving them with opportunities to sell their collectible items for cash.
