Stories about people finding historical documents often seem too good to be true but Michael Sparks' story is true. Sparks picked up what he thought was just a reproduction of the Declaration of Independence at a thrift store in Nashville, Tennessee back in 2006. He paid just $2.48 for the document and later found out it was one of 200 copies commissioned by John Quincy Adams in 1820. It was just the 36th copy found and it fetched a price of $477,650 when a Utah investment firm purchased it.

Back in 2012, a man from West Hampstead in London, found a rare handbag that featured the face of Elvis Presley. John Richard picked up the bag he found at an Oxfam charity store for $30 and later discovered it was a bag made by Irish designer Philip Treacy. Richard brought the bag to a Philip Treacy shop in London and found out it was only one of 10 bags made and designed by Andy Warhol. It's estimated worth is more than $450,000.

Imagine getting something you like at the thrift store and then discovering there's something else with that. Laura Stouffer, an art dealer and collector, picked up a print of an 1880s painting she liked at a thrift store. Then when she took the painting out of the frame, she uncovered an original movie poster of All Quiet on the Western Front, worth an estimated $20,000.
