I looked behind my couch. All I found was a crushed M&M and a remote control battery cover............

You should be glad you didn’t find something worse... *shudder* The things that can end up behind couches....

[pabianice]

You’re lucky. I found a headless, mummified mouse, giant tumbleweeds of dog hair, some well-preserved cat vomit, a green Sashquatcahea Dollar, and the cover from “The Greatest American Hero Second Season.”

Amazing story. Up where kids could hit it with tennis balls : )

$300 million.

Lol. I purchased a Wm E. Marshall engraving of Abraham Lincoln for $120. Was not sure if it was original but the frame alone was worth it.

potentially the art find of the century.

And so early, too ...

So that's where my remote battery cover went!

I love stories like this. There are still treasures to be discovered.

By the way, Red Badger...what color was that M&M? Wasn’t there a contest a while back that if you had a specially colored one....?

What are the two heavily muscled small figures hanging onto each arm supposed to be? .... Children? .... Midgets? IMHO this painting sucks and hidden behind the sofa is a good place for it.

Interesting if true.

I’m sure it is 500 or so years old, but, not being an expert or anything, it looks kind of awkward for Michaelangelo. THe composition seems off or something.

[Cyman]

I am definitely not an art expert but does this look like a hundreds years old painting. My understanding is that of all the “experts” in the world, art experts are the easiest to fool.

The guy will leave NYS before he cashes in on this if he has any brains
