GUEST: When I was a child, they were stuck with a little thumbtack on the wall in my grandfather's kitchen, and later on I found them just loose in a photo album. My grandfather is the heavyset boxer in the picture, and he was a boyhood friend of Edward Hopper. And Edward Hopper was a very tall and slender man, and of course he didn't fare too well in the boxing match.
APPRAISER: I like the tack hole in the drawing where it was tacked up on the wall.
GUEST: On the kitchen wall.
APPRAISER: As you know, Edward Hopper's works have brought about $26 million to $27 million.
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: But I don't think it's going to be worth quite that because this is not what he's known for.
GUEST: Exactly. That's right.
APPRAISER: And these are kind of fun sketches, but 1900 is very early for him. I think each of these would be in the $10,000 to $15,000 range at least.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: 18 years old, and we can see he was a budding talent, but not in the boxing match. I don't think he really stood a chance, judging from the drawing.
