Really got to respect most of those experts

I don't really know how the show works backstage, they probably have some interactions with the items before they actually appear on the scenes to shoot them, maybe not, but you really got to respect the amount of knowledge people like Brett, Rebecca or Hall Patton have. They just know so much in their fields of work.
Brett and Rebecca seem to simply know everything about almost every item the guys put in front of them. It's amazing to hear them speak.

This is from Rebeccas AMA on reddit:

Is there a consult prior to the filmed part? It always seems the guys have far too much knowledge about some pieces that come in.

Yes and no. We are told what the item is before filming, but we often don't get to see the item until right before the camera comes on. And there are times when the item is not what we were told!
For me, there are millions of books out there. I don't know the intricate information (bibliographic points, etc.) off the top of my head for every conceivable book (though I know a decent amount). Any specialist in such a field will tell you that knowing where to get authoritative information is also part of being an "expert." So it is imperative I know something before going, for the most part.
