Ecommerce platform eBay is touring the country with a free Antiques Roadshow-like event series that will authenticate collectibles like sneakers, watches and trading cards in its “top sales categories.”

The roadshow started in Atlanta on April 9 and will move to Nashville, Seattle, Las Vegas and Austin in the coming weeks.

The events offer on-site authentication and appraisals via third-party authenticators. Interested participants will have to bring their collectibles to drive-in stations at these sites—no appointments necessary—although there is a limit of one item per guest.

“Collectors can watch their item go through the evaluation process on the screen in front of their cars,” a statement said.
