'Antiques Roadshow,' over-under edition
"My husband actually found this in a local antique store. He really liked it and pointed it out to me, and we left that day without purchasing it. But he had a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, so I snuck back a couple of days later and bought it for him for his birthday, and know absolutely nothing about it, other than that we thought it was just really awesome."

Let's play over-under. I'm going to show you five items from the Anchorage episodes of Antiques Roadshow and you're going to tell me if you think that item is over or under a specific dollar amount.

For this, we'll use Bob Ross' paintings as a marker. Do you think this 1927 vitaphone sample disc from The Jazz Singer is over or under $20,000?
