History is a value that’s why a lot of people collecting and selling antique or old

things that has historical value. In the United States of America selling antique is very

popular there is a lot made of fortune by doing that but here in the Philippines the

market of selling antique is not quite popular because there not a lot collectors in the

Philippines.

The Pawn star called an historian to authenticate Teddy Roosevelt RARE Rough

Riders Flag. The historian explains the history of the rough rider flag after taking a

closer look the historian says that is not authentic and Rick the host did not accept the

8,000 dollars offer because the historian didn’t say it was a legit piece Rick doesn’t want

a risk a lot of money because he is businessman.

In conclusion, we’ve learned that historian helps a lot of people when it come on

understanding the history of something and they tell what is value of it. We’ve also

learned that no matter how old your antique is doesn’t mean it has a value but we must

not forget the history of that item it might not have value but it has a memory of the past.
