Deadline Is Approaching To Register For Taping Of MPT's "Chesapeake Collectibles"
Series Features Memorabilia From Collectors Throughout The Chesapeake Bay Region
The production will be shot on location for a third year at the Turf Valley Resort in Howard County. Attendees are required to register in advance. Walk-ins are not permitted.
Chesapeake Collectibles features antiques and memorabilia from all over the world brought to the set by collectors. The series appeal stems from the uniqueness of many of the heirlooms and the stories surrounding the items. More than 20 certified appraisers will provide expert oral evaluations at the Chesapeake Collectibles taping event.
Heirlooms selected for last seasons taping included an unusual Marquis diamond ring, a rare Boy Scout Jamboree poster painted by Norman Rockwell, documents signed by the Duke of Russia, an 1820s Kentucky pistol, a vase by Pablo Picasso, pre-Civil War slave documents, and a baseball signed by Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey. Each season, approximately 100 out of more than 1,000 items that come through the Chesapeake Collectibles studio for evaluation appear in episodes of the 13-part series.
Season seven of Chesapeake Collectibles will premiere in January 2017. The series airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. on MPT-HD and is rebroadcast on Saturdays at 10 p.m. Each episode also airs on MPT2-HD, on Saturdays at 7 p.m.
Major funding for season seven of Chesapeake Collectibles is provided by Turf Valley Resort and Alex Cooper Auctioneers Inc.
