L.T. or Big L.T. lost his leg in a car accident and his disability checks were barely paying the bills. One day L.T. saw a Navajo First Phase Chief’s Blanket appraised on the Antique Road Show for $350,000-$500,000. L.T. owned a similar blanket and decided to get it appraised. He was ecstatic to find out his blanket was worth $100,000-$200,000. Come auction day L.T.’s life was forever changed as his 1840/50’s Navajo First Phase Chief’s Blanket sold for $1.5 million and realized at $1.8 million.
