Appraisers from the hit show spent Saturday at Comstock Park High School, where people came to see if one man's trash might just be another man's treasure. After a successful debut in January, the Comstock Park Athletic Boosters set out a second time to raise money for sports programs in their district by helping people cash in on their family heirlooms. Carolyn Bosse brought her Disney puppet collection for appraisal. She received the collection as a gift from her grandparents over 50 years ago. "I used to play with 'em, and put shows on...but I don't do that anymore," Bosse told FOX 17 News at Ten. Aside from their sentimental value, Bosse could not have expected her collection to be worth so much. The appraiser told her that her Mickey, Minnie and Pinnochio puppets were worth at least $12,000...maybe more. But Bosse says it will take a lot to make her give up her favorite toys. "If you're saying a million, yes, if you're saying less than a million, no," she said.
