He appeared with these items on a recent episode of “Antiques Roadshow” – filmed at the Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown – and discovered just how much the items could be worth today.

What he originally paid $200 for was priced at $3,000-$4,000 for the tracksuit and $1,200-$1,700 for the autographed script.

“[The bid] I thought it was a bit low,” Prestash said. “I continued the rest of the evening. I heard my name called. Either the people at the auction didn’t watch ‘The Sopranos’ or the crowd wasn’t interested.

Prestash, who works in marketing and hosts “Two Guys and A Lot of Wine” on West Hartford Community Television, has always been a fan of the old HBO series. He and his co-host Rocky Holland cooked up a wine and fashion pairing for his episode “Antiques Roadshow,” which aired on PBS Jan. 10.

After winning the items at auction, he put them away and didn’t really give them much thought until the death of James Gandolfini in 2013.

When he heard about the “Antiques Roadshow” filming in Connecticut, he decided to see if the show would be interested in his items. He said the producers reacted quickly, citing the enduring popularity of the TV series and the recently released prequel film “The Many Saints of Newark”.

The tracksuit appeared in the seventh episode of the fifth season and was called “In Camelot”. The clothes also bear HBO tags and Gandolfini’s name, which he says are all attributed to value.

“It completely changed television,” Prestash said of the show. “They said whoever got the item must have had some internal dealings with HBO because it’s an unusual item to get.”

He doesn’t know if he will keep the items or keep selling them.

“It’s the kind of item you could very well get at an auction,” Prestash said. “If you keep it, its value will only increase, because it’s one of those things that will exist forever.”

One thing is certain, he will not wear the tracksuit.

“I tried it for my wife,” Prestash said with a laugh. “I swam in it.”
