1964 Frank Sinatra Letter | Staff Pick | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | PBS

[@jeromykriege]

How many of you paused the video to read the letter?

[@JamesBond-uz2dm]

yes

[@MagnificoGiganticus]

I get all my genuine documents from convicted forgers.

[@Wernerrrrr]

I laughed out loud

[@karlhungus5554]

Brilliant observation!

[@djquinn11]

Hahaha! Too funny…

[@lesastark2310]

Just jealous😮

[@lesastark2310]

So sorry you feel that way😊😊😊

[@monkey220ms]

“somehow it ended up with my dad” SURE BUDDY

[@bobbycratchet3958]

Personally I'd be surprised if the bidding stopped before $75,000. I think the owner knows what she has because she didn't blink at $30,000

[@onehatmedia]

Its provenance is from a person convicted of forgery. Does that not strike anyone as odd?

[@benrichey2593]

Came here for this. The appraiser seemed to be going down that route at the beginning but then just accepted that it was genuine. I would expect a lot more proof, especially given that the owner was a convicted forger.

[@edsmith3461-z7m]

How silly.

[@lesastark2310]

So sorry you feel this way😊😊😊but what if YOU HAD IT….too funny

[@BatmanBoss]

Very interesting I didn’t know about this event.

[@darklordojeda]

Oh what a night, late december back in '63.

[@architectinth]

This letter should have been out there long ago to show how Frank felt. Why only now?

[@lesastark2310]

Because my father passed away and we just got it….know the full story or stories before you judge! So sorry you feel this way😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@isaiasgonzalez7066]

My favorite part too is at the end, when she said Frank Sinatra was a devout Catholic. Indeed, I agree. Different women at same time, gamble, alcohol and mafia friends. Agresive, demanding and controller. Cool story tho.

[@swrennie]

I read somewhere that Frank's wife packed condoms in his suitcase when he went away...

[@marty1711]

For millennia, religion's been used as a tool for political power struggles and colonial imperialism. Cover for pedophiles and genocide of countless ethnic groups. I wonder, what is a devout catholic? Are they so devout that they would go to war abroad, killing in the name of their god OR do they strictly adhere to the first commandment; "Thou shalt not kill", and refuse service?

[@MrRufusRToyota]

That doesn’t make you not a devout Catholic. That’s why we have weekly confession. You can get forgiven for virtually anything, as many times as you want. Just say some Hail Mary’s and Our Fathers. Nice.

[@gretchenortner]

@@MrRufusRToyota doesnt mean you're forgiven though, especially if you don't intend to stop sinning

[@gretchenortner]

I just looked it up and he did not actually become Catholic until 1976, so I'll bet the last 20 years of his life, he was a very different man than his early life

[@69A12SuperBee]

SOLD!!

[@bobl1769]

The letter either belongs to the State, the Church or a public institution, it certainly does not belong to the woman claiming ownership.

[@lesastark2310]

The letter is in MY hands nonetheless! Opinions are like???????????……Some are ????????????? Than others😮

[@phqutub]

People that show zero change in emotion when they are told a price 3 times higher than a recent appraisal (from 3 months ago?) why even be on the show. You know what you have and you expected a fortune..

[@rosylee5683]

Apple didn't fall far from the tree... Harbored a valuable stolen letter.

[@kierk3439]

Legit thought that was Carole Baskin when I saw the thumbnail!

[@sunnyscott4876]

APPEARING TONIGHT LIVE ON STAGE FRANK SINATRA (jr.) Oh.........never mind.

[@Goomlahexpress]

Don't forget auction estimates are conservative guys.

[@steinson63]

SELL IT!

[@Chef-vg4pu]

They’re just lucky, that some of Frank‘s friends didn’t get a hold of them before the police did if you know what I mean……

[@steveford8999]

Ok here's my question: how the HECK do kidnappers pick the ransom amount? $240,000? Why not 250? Why not 300? I've never been able to figure that out.

[@gazoo-pl4nx]

in 1963 240,000 would be about 2 million in todays dollars

[@MM-Iconoclast]

She looks kinda sharky.

[@lesastark2310]

Maybe???????……OH AND LOOKS ARE EVERYTHING😮😮😮😊😊😊😮😮😮LOLOLOLOL

[@frasersgirl4383]

Sounds like he stole it!!!

[@lesastark2310]

Like I said…..opinions………..😮😮😮😮😊😊

[@carljcreighton]

she's just proud of the stuff she wrote in this fake letter

[@edsmith3461-z7m]

Fake how?

[@finddeniro]

That haunted Frank Jr. .all his lifetime. .I was upset as a 7 year old kid. .I have nothing...not any passion for drug FrEaks. .

[@zarplialabai3420]

Historic event! Laura, how not smart can you are!?

[@lesastark2310]

What the????????…..no sense!

[@wangbowtie1]

Never could stand him
