Two Blanket

The bag did not contain one blanket but two. His grandma had not allocated the blankets to any of them so his sister took the blanket she liked the most of the two and Krytzer took the other one. 

Dirty Old Thing

He recalls asking his sister about the blanket. “I said, ‘What are you going to do with that?’ She replied, ‘I don’t want that, that dirty old thing.’ I picked it up…put it in my closet and there it sat for seven years.”

Taking It Out

Krytzer went straight to the closet in which the blanket was placed for a long time now. He took the bag out of the closet and pulled the blanket out. He explained, “I paused [the program] and I went and got the blanket and I’m sitting there holding it.” 

Worth Anything

“I’m lining up the lines on the TV with the blanket, seeing if they match. This guy is on TV, the appraiser says $300,000 to $500,000. So I’m thinking maybe this one is worth five to 10 grand.”Nobody Would Pay “$10 For That Thing.”

Old Tatted Blanket

However, his family held a different opinion. Unlike Krytzer they were skeptical about the blanket. It was an old tatted blanket. When he asked his mother about the possibility of making money out of the blanket she replied, “You will not get more than $10.” But her suspicion did not stop him.

Different Opinion

After fetching the blanket, the man ran his eye over the contact list and started making calls to the experts he knew. Thereafter he hopped in his car and drove to many antique stores. However, the shop owners did not seem to be impressed by the blanket. Gradually, his hope began to flicker when he met a dealer who had a different opinion about the blanket.
