If I’m not mistaken, Christie’s sold that DaVinci in the 50s for less than $100 (no one verified it as a davinci)

Talk about a return on investment.

Wow, historic moment. I thank you for giving me the heads up and letting me witness that moment in the world. $400,000,000 hammer. I hope they don't collect cards!

Isn't this the same painting that the russian owner was gonna sue his broker for ripping him off and charging him too much money for it? And now it sells for 400 million.

Yes, he sued the dealer because the dealer marked it up more than what he was told.

Here is the timeline of the history of the painting:

Finally, a very interesting article by Jerry Saltz, an art critic for New York magazine. Baseball cards are not the only collectible with its share of controversey:
