200 One Dollar Bills - From Andy Warhol

No this is not Andy Warhol's silkscreen ink on canvas that sold for $43,762,500 on November 11, 2009 at Sotheby's Auction.

Thats right, I said $43,762,500. Mr. Warhol produced his painting in the early 1960s and sold it to Robert Scull, the taxi cab company tycoon and art collector. It was probably not any where near the million dollar mark at that time.

So here we are some 40 years later and that painting is in the millions. People have collected paintings from the beginning of time. Some make it into that rarified air of compounding whatever money was originally paid for it.

Did you know that there are thousands of paintings that command prices of $1,000 and up. The challenge of treasure hunting is to find one of those paintings and pay less the $500 for it so that you can compound your money immediately when you sell it right away. That's why it is good to go to art shows and find out whats "en vogue".

There is a club devoted to helping its members find those treasures and it has its own online auction for selling treasures you have found at www.31corp.com. The moderator is Daryl Lambert who has over 30 years in the business of finding treasures. See what you think about it.
