Rice, who has lived Naperville since 1987, snagged a segment on the show for bringing a Bob Dylan poster signed by the poster’s artist, late groundbreaking graphic designer Milton Glaser. But it wasn’t his collector’s item alone — a decades-old Bob Dylan poster signed by the artist — that made landing a segment on the PBS series feel inevitable.
That’s how he ended up with an aging album from the singer-songwriter — and a souvenir to go along with it — while on a fortuitous trip to Woodstock some 40 years ago. This is where his “Antiques Roadshow” tale really finds its footing, Rice says. There, Rice came across none other than “Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits,” released in 1967. He also scored the poster that came included with the album, a true late ’60s-fashion piece that embellished Dylan’s silhouette with psychedelic locks.Satisfied with finding the album-poster package, Rice went on to buy two more copies. They weren’t necessarily rare finds, more keepsakes than collectibles to auction off.
When Rice heard the show would be stopping in Ohio last year, he entered and ended up being one of the 3,000 raffle winners. Instead of going home, he got a second look, this time by a specific “posters” appraiser. Even better, the twist brought Rice face to face with Nicholas “Nicho” Lowry, a regularly featured expert on “Antiques Roadshow” known for his handlebar mustache and bold suits.Naperville resident Mark Rice pictured with a copy of “Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits” album and the poster that came with the record’s release in 1967.
