Sorry to burst your bubble but this is the Dope after all, where we try to fight ignorance. FWIW, finding that out really put me off the entire show, as I noted above. The good news is that apparently the producers did fire these guys and the other appraisers seem to be on the up-and-up.

She was there with her friend, Nancy, but I don’t think she carried her.

I’ve been to the thing. I got a painting of my grandmother appraised and the artist identified. Not of sufficient interest to be broadcast, though.
