Do you want to be on TV? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

10 Mar 2006

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the age (or gender) limits but it is their show.

I'd encourage anyone, of any age or gender, to contact them if interested. 
I've talked to them and they are reasonable folks.  

They have a target demographic in mind, obviously, but I suspect they could
be swayed by a particularly interesting collector.

They are firm on the "active collector" aspect, though.  They want folks who
are in the field looking. . .

What a crock! Joe Rigdon's about my age (over 45) and
would be a perfect candidate for this except for the
arbitrary age limitation.

Whaddya say, Joe? Ya never know, might be a buck in it.

 We are definitely looking for people who can share their know-how in
 locating discarded items "that have lost their shine and sparkle, but not
 their value &ndash; or their history." 
 In particular, we are looking for people who do this as a hobby and have a
 great passion for it.

 Our show is about the search for such items, the history of the item and the
...
  appraisal of the item's value.
 We would be doing an hour-long show featuring three collectors and would
 follow each collector on their journey for their hidden &ldquo;treasure." 

 If you would be interested in speaking with me regarding this show, could
 you please contact me at the number or e-mail listed below.
 Thank you!
