26.27-carat Diamond At A Parking Lot Sale
During the 1980s, a woman was thrift shopping through the parking lot sale at a London hospital. Her eyes caught and noticed a piece of lovely jewelry. It was a diamond ring which she bought for only $14. For five years, the woman wore it even though she was not sure if it was authentic. It came for a parking lot sale anyway. One day, she decided to have it checked. That was when they found out that it was a 26.27-carat diamond! And the ring was worth $915,000!

Magnolias on Gold Velvet Cloth by Martin Johnson Heade
There was an anonymous man who went looking for a painting that he could use to cover up the hole in his wall. He got one for only $30. One day, he was in the comfort of his home, playing a board game inspired by art auctions. He immediately realized that the card seemed familiar to the painting he just bought. He learned that the portrait he used to cover up his wall was the “Magnolias on Gold Velvet Cloth” by Martin Johnson Heade, which was worth $1.2 million!
