10) A Signed Picasso Poster: $7,000
This is your typical run of the mill thrift store find, if you ask me sounds like it has come
straight out of a movie. Zachary Bodish was sifting through various items at an area
thrift store in search of some kitschy art to resell. He eventually stumbled upon a
commercial advertising an exhibit of carver. He fell in love with the art and immediately
purchased it for $14.14. While he was investigating the piece, he noticed red marks on
the underside of the poster. He believed the marks might be Pablo Picasso’s signature.
Bodish showed the poster to art experts and discovered it had been a linocut. It seemed
that Picasso had carved a design into linoleum, after which it was inked and pressed
onto paper. Apparently only about a hundred of these posters were ever created and
Bodish had accidentally purchased print number 6. Bodish eventually sold the print for
$7,000.

9) Martin Johnson Heade Painting: $1.2 Million
There seem to be a lot of paintings and posters making up this list. Were artists really
that careless with their work back in the day? A man in Indiana wanted to seek out a
painting to hide a hole in his wall back at his place. He stumbled upon a still photo that
he was willing to pay $30 to require home. Later, he was playing cards that happened to
feature famous works of art. The man was shocked find out that the $30 painting he
picked up at a thrift store was actually the work of Martin Johnson Heade, an American
still-life painter. The painting was sold for $1.2 million. Sometimes you have got to be

lucky twice, once within the purchase of your hidden treasure, and once when actuality
value of the item is accidentally revealed.

8) Bond Watch: $160,175
This one particularly really excited me as I happen to be a huge James bond fan. It is
one of those films whose charm will never fade irrespective of the day and age. An
Englishman roaming a flea market picked up a watch he liked for a good price of $38.
The watch was later determined to be worn by James Bond in the iconic film
“Thunderball.” The watch was eventually taken to a Christie’s auction where it sold in
2013 for $160,175. Typically, movie memorabilia doesn’t sell for this huge sum of a
price, however, this particular watch was the first one ever modified by the “Q Branch”
to include a Geiger counter to help James Bond detect nuclear radiation. This James
Bond watch proves that when the circumstances are right, bidders will overpay.

7) Tudor Bed Frame: £20 Million
I mean I love a good furniture item; just not quite sure I would pay 20 million for one, like
in this instance. A Tudor Bed was being thrown away in the hotel car parking space of
the previous Redland House Hotel in Hough Green, Chester, England. Ian Coulson was
unreasonably drawn to the unique piece and offered to buy the bed for £2,200. In 2010,
Coulson, a four-post bed specialist, coincidentally saw the item listed on the web. By
this time he had already purchased the bed and approached TV historian, Jonathan
Foyle for a second opinion. DNA testing of the bed’s wood revealed that it belonged to
King Henry VII, back in 1486. The bed was estimated to be worth over £20 Million and
what was also revealed was that it was the last remaining true Tudor Bed within the
world.

6) Ansel Adam Prints: $200 Million
And we have another painting cutting the list. Are we even surprised at this point? In the
year 2000, painter Rick Norsigian purchased a group of glass plates that had been
printed with images of Yosemite National park. Norsigian loved the composition of the
photos and was willing to scrape up $45 to take back home the works of art. He soon
discovered that the glass plates were the work of famed photographer, Ansel
Adams. Norsigian started by selling prints from the work for $7,500 until he discovered
