There is nothing more exciting than finding out you're virtually sitting on a pile of money!
Sometimes people pick up knickknacks or pieces of art at auctions or garage sales and don't realize that they are much more valuable later on in life.
Or people get things passed down to them from family members, like this woman who got her grandmother's "brain lamp" that wound up being worth $40,000.
That is why shows like Antique Roadshows are perfect! People can bring in practically anything to find out its true value, where they can learn that they either paid way too much for something or if that precious item is actually worth a lot more than they ever expected.
One man stopped by when the show was visiting El Paso, TX, and learned he had some very valuable merchandise.
In the 1980s, he met Andy Warhol at a nightclub and got some soup cans signed by him. The next day, he went to Andy's workshop and the late artist not only sold him a priceless piece of art, but also proved he enjoy getting to know the people who liked his work.
Over 30 years later, it turns out this print out a Campbell's golden mushroom soup can is worth a lot more than the $125 spent on it. It's worth $20,000! Along with the rest of the set of cans, this man can make a pretty penny off the artwork!
If you thought this was great, you will also love this old man finding out the blanket he had hanging on the back of his couch was worth $500,000.
Don't forget to SHARE this great discovery with all of your friends and family!
