L.T, or Big L.T. as some call him, was put on disability after suffering terrible foot injuries from a car crash. Since then, he has struggled to make ends meet.
One day while watching television, he saw an episode of Antiques Roadshow in which a Navajo First Phase Weaving Blanket was featured. His family had kept a similar one that had been passed down through generations. Seeing the value of the blanket on TV, L.T. decided he would see if his family’s blanket could fetch similar results.
Once verified that it was in fact an authentic Navajo weaving blanket, L.T. took it to auction. Appraisers stated their expectations for the blanket’s market value which were quickly blown out of the water.

I don't think it matters, the guy was probably actually using it on his bed or something anyway.

A bloke who has no idea what he has well that's fair enough. For an auction house, and what was the quote 'when i saw it i fell over' so they knew what they had, yet not one employee of the said auction house followed any of the rules regarding textile conservation.

Another fail - he's wearing cufflinks.
 
That was truly amazing. I just showed my husband and i said to him that one day this could be us. On a serious note good luck to the seller as he really needed the cash anyway.
