Youngster Art Collector Acquires Painting At Cheap Auction, Later Finds Out Its Real Worth
Close But No Cigar
Finally, David Weiss laid the all-important question on the kid: How much does he think his painting would sell for at an auction? Without batting an eye, the young antique collector answered with $150. He was pretty confident about his estimate too.
It’s a pretty decent profit for something that only cost him $2. Plus, in the mind of a child, $150 is not just a good profit but a decent chunk of change as well. But how close was Stephen Padlo to the real value of the painting? He was both close and way off too.
