The Winning Bidder Must Live In One Hell of a Trailer Park
Two rare 1903 paintings by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge fetched $590,400 at a New York auction. The paintings, "A Bold Bluff" and "Waterloo: Two," are well-known works of art that show dogs playing poker. The auction house estimated that the paintings would only bring in $30,000 to $50,000, but they failed to take into account that these are real paintings done on canvas and not on velvet. Source
