nurkvinny Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Now, how many generations ago of that guy's family stole that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 In another story I read it was willed to a family member in 1883 the time it came to America. So it's not a world war 1 or 2 theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I guess the joke was they called it "the Mike" since the family rumor was that it was the real deal. They were like yeah right. Then their parents died and they found it again and had it tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you take it to Speedway to find its value? They probably don't know. I would get a second opinion. I mean, really; they work at Speedway.

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Now in a bank vault, the painting, according to experts, is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions - perhaps, like those seen at the New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art -- even $300 million. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/11/earlyshow/main6947021.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
