I'm asked often for help in identifying, pricing and researching antiques and collectibles. However, you're really not going to get a good idea of the true value of your item without having a professional actually look at it. Pictures simply don't tell you enough to make a real assessment.

What are some possible antiques of tomorrow? Meaning, what can I buy now with the possibility of it becoming a genuine antique or collectible in 20, 30, 50 or more years? The BBC's antiques expert Madeleine Marsh gives you a great list of possibilities in her future collectibles list.
