UPI News Service, 05/19/2021
HGTV said Wednesday it has green-lit six new episodes of the collectible series Cash in the Attic.
ADVERTISEMENT Courtney Tezeno will lead a team of expert appraisers, including Elyse Luray, Jean David Michel and Marvin Jules, as they sort through homes looking for classic toys, vintage comics, original video games and other valuable pop culture treasures, the cable network said in a news release.
The show is expected to air later this year. We expect a wide audience to tune in for Cash in the Attic because they appreciate the nostalgic value of sports memorabilia or Beanie Babies and they may find out that they can turn something that s gathering dust into good money, Jane Latman, HGTV s president, said in a statement.

Joining Tezeno are experienced appraisers that include New Yorker Elyse Luray, who brings auction expertise built up over a lifetime to the series; collector Jean David Michel, who has turned his passion for comics into a career; and king of vintage, Marvin Jules.

It’s difficult for Jean David Michel, co-owner of Megabrain Comics in Rhinebeck, to remember a time before he became enthralled with comic books. He still can vividly recall, however, the first time he was gifted his very own.
