Have you ever heard of a “Rembrandt in the Attic”? This phrase refers to a valuable artwork or other collectible item that has been forgotten or overlooked for years, perhaps even sitting in an attic or basement. While it may seem like a far-fetched idea, there have been many instances where a valuable object has been discovered in someone’s home, often after the owner has passed away. In this episode, we’ll explore a few fascinating stories of Rembrandts in the attic. Thanks to our sponsors: The Bottom Line is brought to you by Club Capital.
