Register Now to Participate in Chesapeake Collectibles
October 4 & 5, 2025
Do you have any unique antiques or quirky collectibles that you’d like to learn more about? Bring your items to the taping of Season 13 of Chesapeake Collectibles and meet with one of our expert appraisers – you may even end up on TV!
For over a decade, Chesapeake Collectibles has entertained, surprised, and enlightened Maryland Public Television viewers. Every season, guests have the opportunity to meet with expert appraisers to learn more about their family heirlooms, flea market finds, and cherished collectibles. The most interesting items and stories are selected for evaluation in front of the cameras, resulting in priceless moments as guests share their tales, discover the histories of their items, and receive an answer to the all-consuming question: how much is it worth?

How to Participate
Registration is required to attend the event. We offer two registration options:
Standard Registration ($135) - evaluation of up to three items.
Overnight Package ($375) – evaluation of up to three items, overnight accommodations and a meet-and-greet with one of our appraisers.
Both packages allow you to bring a guest.
Both packages include a one-year membership to MPT and access to MPT Passport.
We hunt and preserve because we have that darn collector’s gene. Or because nostalgia for antiques and vintage memorabilia owns our hearts. Or because we have that special eye for the unique, the rare. or oddly alluring.
But also — we can admit it! — sometimes this boom-era collectibles culture makes us, yep, speculate on future windfalls.
We asked the Chesapeake Collectibles appraisers about what might be off everybody’s radar at the moment, but could show up years from now as shoebox, attic, and storage unit gold. Here are excerpts (which seem like treasures in themselves).
