(VIDEO) Woman's $6 Plates Turn Out to Be Picasso Originals Worth Thousands

New Yorker Nancy Cavaliere، an avid thrifter، had a hunch she was onto something special when she stumbled upon a set of $6 plates at her local thrift store. She turned them over and saw the Picasso tag، which led her to research the series، the date they were made، and pretty much the whole history behind Picasso's ceramic line. Picasso designed 633 different ceramic editions between 1947 and 1971، from simple utilitarian objects like plates and bowls to complex pitchers and vases. Cavaliere reached out to a nearby auction house and had the plates authenticated by experts. They estimated that the plates would sell individually for between $3،000-$5،000 each.

After the auction، Cavaliere invested the money and continues to thrift regularly. Her entire home is filled with thrifted، valuable، second-hand finds، and everything is worth money and has a cool story.

This isn't her only lucrative find، either. A while after the plates، she stumbled on an Alexander McQueen jumpsuit from his second-ever collection. Picking it up for $20، it was sold for an amazing $8،500.

Cavaliere moved to New York City from Italy when she was just eight years old، and after getting married in 2014، she started to get into thrifting، mostly to furnish her apartment. Before stumbling upon the Picasso plates، Cavaliere had already discovered other valuable items، such as the McQueen jumpsuit. She ran the Instagram account casacavaliere، where 
she shared her latest finds.
