This year's Carolina Collectibles day takes place Saturday, October 21 at PBS Charlotte. For a donation of $125 to support PBS Charlotte, you will receive two vouchers to have two items evaluated. For a donation of $150, you will receive three vouchers to have 3 items evaluated. For more information please email PBS Charlotte Member Services at memberservices@wtvi.org.

Specialists from Leland Little Auctions will be at PBS Charlotte to provide verbal valuations on hundreds of items. You can select a preference for your time of day when you make your donation. We will provide you an appointment time to arrive at our studio around two weeks before the event date. Seating will be available inside as you wait. 

Please note, vouchers will NOT be mailed. You will receive the vouchers when you check-in the day of the event.

You are encouraged to take notes on what the specialist tells you about your item (valuations are NOT intended to be used for insurance purposes). Typically, valuations last about 5 – 8 minutes with the specialist, depending on the item.

Check your attic for any family heirlooms including fine art, furniture, decorative art, Asian art, fine jewelry, coins, toys, etc. (If you’re not sure, bring it!)

Will this be recorded for a future Antiques Roadshow program?
No, this is a PBS Charlotte event and is not affiliated with the Antiques Roadshow series. However, we will be recording to create our own special to air later.

Where is PBS Charlotte located?

Our address is 3242 Commonwealth Ave., Charlotte, NC 28205. 

Will anyone be available to carry my items inside?
Due to our insurance liability, PBS Charlotte staff and volunteers will not be able to handle your items. However, we will provide dollys and industrial carts for your use.

May I bring a guest? 
Your admission is based on the number of vouchers you choose to receive as opposed to tickets for individual people. We will have handcarts available if you need help carrying items.

Can I arrive earlier than my appointment time? 
Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your appointment time. If you need to change your appointment time, please let us know ASAP by email at memberservices@wtvi.org.
 

What is the station doing to help protect people from COVID-19? 
Our guests’ health and safety is always our main concern. We have set up hand-sanitizer stations throughout our building, and ask people to wash their hands in our restrooms as soon as they enter. We will have handcarts available if you need assistance carrying items. 

Are firearms allowed?
No. Due to our insurance liability, PBS Charlotte CANNOT accommodate firearms on our property. Please bring an alternate item.

If I’m not sure what to bring, what should I do? 
Feel free to contact us via phone or email. We may ask you to email us images of your item(s) which we can forward to Leland Little Auctions representatives for their recommendation(s). 

What type of items do people bring?
Typical items include chairs and other small furniture, plates and dishware, vases, jewelry, paintings, dolls and a plethora of other unique memorabilia. If you have a larger item, please call or email us to discuss the options.

Where should I park?
PBS Charlotte has plenty of free parking.
