Fantiques Roadshow
Fri 11:00am CC2 Exhibit Auc
Fantiques Roadshow is a participatory activity - all you need to do
is bring along an item with some sort of SF significance (book, art,
fannish item or collectible) and see if it's worth anything. The
first part of Fantiques Roadshow is an informal appraisal of items at
tables in the auction area. The appraisers will select a few items
to bring up to the front table during the second part of the show.
