…….a lucky bargain hunter became a millionaire after finding an original print of the Declaration of Independence in the frame of an old painting? In 1989, a Philadelphia financial analyst purchased what he thought was a $4 painting because he liked the frame. He liked it even more when he found a folded document between the canvas and wood backing which appeared to be an old copy of the Declaration of Independence. It was real: one of 500 official copies from the first printing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. (Only twenty-four similar copies were known to exist before this find, of which only 3 were privately owned.) This rare document was offered for sale by Sotheby's on 4 June 1991, and the lucky find fetched $2.42 million. Who says you can’t find a bargain at a flea market?....
