Your imagination may be running wild… some extremely rare ancient artifact, perhaps? You are sort of on track, but we’re willing to bet you did not have this little baby in mind…

This, ladies and gents, is a postage stamp. It dates back to the 19th century and comes from a South American British colony.

The stamp sold in 2 minutes for roughly R99 million.

R99 million.

How many small countries could that feed??

Moral of the story: leave your really old artifacts for your great-grandchildren – you never know how much they’ll be worth when they are no longer in use.
