1. There was some stupid Indian blanket on once that was estimated at a million bucks. But then again, its only worth what you can get for it :P
2. In the American Roadshow it was a Native Indian blanket as the previous poster said. Despite his rather nasty comment the owner was told that the blanket should actually be in a museum and was worth in excess of one million dollars. In a follow up show they advised the owner had sold the blanket to a museum in New York for 1.2 million dollars. He did pretty good for a blanket that he said he just threw over the back of the couch. In the U.K. version I believe it was a painting that was believed to have been lost to the Nazis in WWII and worth in excess of 750,000 pounds. about 1.5 million dollars.They were very sure but had to have a couple of experts verify it. I never did find out what happened there. I do know my favourite was a woman who had a water dish for her cat (in the UK one) that she left out on her patio. It was some Ming dynasty dish worth about 50,000.pounds.
