As someone who has done plenty of TV and one who has had both great and
really bad experiences with production crews and the final product, I'd
urge a little caution before one leaps at the chance to be on TV.

Especially if you are going to show off a high value collection on
national TV...

I've never allowed a crew to come to my house, even though I've had
several request it, but then again my appearances are always work related.

I'm not saying no one should do this. Just be careful, ask a lot of
questions about how they plan on presenting you and your collection and
if you feel uncomfortable in any way, from what they ask you to do or
show to how they speak to you and your family, thank them and show the
crew the door. They need you much more than you need them, so be sure
you are treated with appropriately.

Good luck.
