Episode description: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has the distinction of being one of the stops in ROADSHOW's first season, taped in 1996. Flash forward a decade, and ROADSHOW is back where it all began for the popular PBS series, as well as for the United States. Host Mark L. Walberg kicks off the show with a visit to a Philadelphia landmark: the Philadelphia Art Museum. The museum's collection is so large and diverse; it takes eight ROADSHOW experts to do it justice. At the Pennsylvania Convention Center, nearly 70 experts offer their opinions of the approximately 10,000 objects brought for appraisal, including a rare eighteenth-century Pennsylvania spice cupboard used to collect birds egg specimens; a very valuable mid-seventeenth-century needlework piece bought at auction by a savvy collector for next to nothing; and an early twentieth-century nicotine stained oil painting by noted Pennsylvania impressionist George Sotter, banished to a flooded basement by the owner, valued at $120,000 to $180,000.
