In the 1970s, a woman who was a keen plate collector bought a plate in Rhode Island for under $100. The plate looked pretty, so she hung it on the wall of her kitchen. For years, it has been sitting above the stove, as "all of [the] kids loved the smiley face." Around 2010, the woman went into a gallery and saw a plate that looked similar to the one above her stove. She told someone in the gallery that she had something nearly identical in her kitchen. The woman recalled on a TV show: "The guy sort of gasped and said, 'Over your stove?' And I said, 'Yeah, I have a plate collection.' He said, 'Do you know what you have?'" Apparently, she did not. What she did have was, in fact, a genuine work of Picasso from 1955. When she went to Antiques Roadshow, she learned that the plate could be worth somewhere from $10,000 to $15,000. "That's fabulous," the woman then said. See, it does pay off to collect things!
