A Signed Picasso Poster: $7,000
Zachary Bodish was sifting through various items at a local thrift store in search of some kitschy art to resell. He eventually stumbled upon a poster advertising an exhibit of Pablo Picasso. He loved the art and purchased it for $14.14. While he was investigating the piece, he noticed red marks on the bottom of the poster. He believed the marks could be Pablo Picasso’s signature. Bodish showed the poster to art experts and discovered it was a linocut. Picasso had carved a design into linoleum, which was then inked and pressed onto paper. Only 100 of the posters were ever created and Bodish had accidentally purchased print number 6. Bodish sold the print for $7,000.
