This story seems a little sketchy, as there’s not a lot of info about the dude who found the painting, but apparently he exists; he just loves his privacy. Only a first name is known: Leroy.

Leroy, a former antiques dealer found a framed oil painting at Goodwill. He could tell that the frame was made in the 1800’s and he assumed that the painting was from the same time period. Figuring he could flip it for a couple hundred, he grabbed the piece of art for $3.

He hung it in his house for the time being, and after a year, his daughter-in-law had a suspicion that it was worth more than Leroy thought and took it to Antiques Roadshow to learn more about it. They discovered that the painting came from a Flemish school in Amsterdam during the mid 17th century. Then 200 years later, someone reframed it. This mean that the painting was valued at somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000.

Leroy decided to sell the painting at auction and ended up getting $190,000 for it.
