At some point in our lives, many of us have imagined stumbling across hidden treasure or a long-lost artifact at a flea market or garage sale.
I know I have, and that hope is fueled by real-life examples of people doing exactly that. There are countless stories (and I’m sure you’ve heard of at least one) where someone unknowingly buys a valuable old painting for the price of a cup of coffee.
Of course, the term ‘treasure’ can mean many things. Most people immediately think of a pirate’s stash, a chest full of gold coins and jewels. But in reality, old family photographs or documents can be just as priceless to the right person. Often, these items carry stories that make them even more intriguing.
That’s probably what Randy Guijarro had in mind when he spent $2 at a garage sale for an old photo album, filled with what seemed to be ordinary memories.
The photos, clearly aged with time, appeared vintage due to their black-and-white tones. However, what no one realized was that one of those pictures contained a detail that would transform it into an extraordinary find.
Randy selected the album simply because the photos seemed cool and unique to him.
Once home, he began flipping through the images, when he came across a face he instantly recognized.
The face was none other than Billy the Kid, the infamous outlaw of the Wild West. Billy the Kid, or William H. Bonney, was one of the most notorious outlaws, shot dead in 1881 at the young age of 23 after a life on the run.
Not only was this a remarkable historical artifact, but Randy’s discovery was also worth a fortune.
Reports later confirmed that the photo Randy purchased for a mere $2 might be valued at an astounding $5 million!
Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played since 2017 and has reportedly been aiming for an NFL comeback.
Jim Harbaugh’s hire for the Los Angeles Chargers couId mean big things for a certain former NFL star: Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick hasn’t played since 2017 and has reportedly been aiming for an NFL comeback.
Several teams have briefly shown some interest and he has worked out for teams before, but he hasn’t been signed or come cIose to it. The door seemed to be closing, but Harbaugh’s return could change that. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio highlighted that Kaepernick’s major milestones came under Harbaugh, who also voiced his support for the quarterback during his exile.
Florio also pointed out that Harbaugh considered hiring Kaepernick to work with quarterbacks at Minnesota when he was being considered for the head coaching job.
There’s no telling what Harbaugh plans to do. He’s onIy just been hired by LA, but the connection to the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is very real and could be his last shot at a return.
