Season 13 Premiere: Monday, June 1 at 7:30pm

Airing on Mondays at 7:30 p.m.

Behind every flea market find and beloved family heirloom is a tale waiting to be told. From contemporary collectibles to long-lost masterpieces, Chesapeake Collectibles shines a light on the histories hidden within the objects that fill our homes. Our team of expert appraisers evaluates thousands of items during each season’s taping, but only a handful are selected to appear in front of the cameras: rare artifacts with local ties, dazzling works of art collected by unwitting connoisseurs, first editions signed by literary legends, pop culture memorabilia steeped in childhood nostalgia, and the weird and wonderful finds of eagle-eyed treasure hunters. Unpacking these stories is the key to every conclusion, unlocking the answer to the question on everyone’s mind: what’s it worth?

Do you have any unique antiques or quirky collectibles that you would like to learn more about? Bring your items to the Season 14 taping of Chesapeake Collectibles in October, and meet with our expert appraisers - your prized possession could be our next big find!
