Antiques Roadshow guest nearly drops expletive as gift from Hollywood icon gets huge value

This Antiques Roadshow guest's item was out of this world ... quite literally!

This week's episode of the hit PBS reality show headed to Springs Preserve in Las Vegas, where expert Travis Landry met a woman who had brought in Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Travis began by asking the woman how she had gotten her hands on such an incredible item, to which she responded: "He actually gave it to me."

"What was it like knowing the man, the myth, the legend that is Leonard Nimoy?" Travis excitedly asked.

"He was a very nice man. He rented space from the company I worked for. I worked in a cubicle, and he had the office right behind me, so he was 20 feet away, like every day," she revealed.

"That is so cool," Travis gushed, before pointing out: "This is a Lifetime Achievement Award. But what this award is actually known as is a Saturn Award, first awarded in 1973 these are given out by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and horror.

"A Saturn Award might not be a big name like we hear, you know, Emmys, Golden Globe and Oscar, but in the world of everything cool, pop culture, nerdy science fiction, a Saturn Award is a pretty big deal," he added.

Travis continued to show off his knowledge of the topic, explaining: "The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and horror, was first created by Donald Reid in 1972 and they still give out the Saturn Award today. In 1986 Leonard Nimoy received this right here, the Lifetime Achievement Award.

"And when it comes to Leonard Nimoy as an actor, as a personality, his name is synonymous with the world of pop culture."

He went on: "Obviously, everybody knows him from Spock, but Star Trek, Spock was such an important character. Everybody remembers. I'm gonna embarrass myself. I don't know why it is, but I cannot do the Vulcan salute," referring to the famous hand gesture Spock is known for in the sci-fy series.

The Vulcan salute was no challenge for the guest, who flashed the gesture with ease while Travis continued to struggle.

Vulcan salue aside, Travis then asked: "What do you think it's worth?" to which the lady replied: "I have no clue as to what it's worth. It almost doesn't matter, because it's my connection to Leonard.

"I got to see this thing every day. So when he closed his office down and his assistant asked if I wanted anything, knowing I was a Trekkie, I said, 'you know, I look at this thing every day. Can I have this,' not knowing what it was, I had no idea what it was.
