An Antiques Roadshow guest was left amazed to discover the staggering value of a book she bought from a charity shop for just 20p.
The BBC team visited Beaumaris Castle, situated in Anglesey, North Wales, where members of the public brought in their treasured relics.
One guest met with book specialist Clive Farahar – presenting a rare edition of a Winnie the Pooh book.

Elsewhere, another guest was amazed to learn the whopping value of the ‘first Christmas cards ever produced’.
The visitor brought these cards, which had been owned by her great-grandfather, to be evaluated by expert Justin Croft on the BBC show.
Upon examining the collection at Tarvit Mansion and Garden, Justin remarked that they ‘look to be Victorian’.

I wonder how many “rare things” just wind up in the trash?
Can’t say I spend a lot of time in “charity shops” but, from time to time, I have. Wonder what “finds” I missed just from ignorance?
With the inet, and “circle to search”, it should be easier to find them. Maybe AI might be able to quickly scan for us?
Hmmmm?
