A friend and I brought some rare tiki stuff to the Antiques Roadshow as a test and believe me, the folks here on TC know a LOT more about tiki than the experts on Roadshow. Tiki just hasn't hit their radar yet as a collectible. They have experts on art-pottery & old English china, but show them a tiki mug and they will humbly admit they don't know. It might take a few more decades before Poly-pop collectibles become legitimate in the larger world.
