Chinese Libation Cup
In 2013, an anonymous Australian man was thrift shopping in Sydney when he stumbled upon a pretty cup. It caught his attention, and he was able to buy it for $3 then returned home with it. The man did not know that the cup was actually an extraordinary and rare Chinese libation cup made of rhino horn. It was a traditional Chinese cup. Sotheby, one of the world’s largest brokers of fine and decorative art, jewelry, real estate, and collectibles, was able to fetch the libation cup at $60,000. Cool!

Augusta National Jacket
In 1994, an anonymous and an avid golf player walked through a thrift store in Toronto, Canada. There he found an eye-catching green jacket that was up for sale for only $5. The man discovered that the jacket was an authentic one from a 1950s National. There was no golfer’s name stitched onto it. However, the jacket was still purchased by a memorabilia company at a super high price worth $139,349. The jacket might be famous for its name, but the original owner was still unknown until the present.
