Oh my word. Pele’s 1962 FIFA gold medal and passport. Why weren’t any of the footballers in the room to bid on this?! He’s a legend!

If I won the lottery I wouldn't be wasting it on stuff that gathers dust and is of no use what so ever.

[@cherylmillard2067]

They're investments, if you actually had the funds, you wouldn't be complaining about these items gathering dust, your money would be gathering interest faster than anything available in a regular market.

[@britneycee]

You are free to spend it as you please. As is everyone else.

[@mrpattersontheartguy]

I worry some of those were stolen in WWII

[@2Sugarbears]

Or even further back.

@@2Sugarbears very true

[@simonl.6338]

​@@2Sugarbearsthey check the provinence, if it's stolen or a facsimily the auction house could get into trouble they seldom take this risk BUT ofcourse many of the materials (the gold, the jewels, the ivory etc.) were "stolen" at some point in time, if you want to frame it that way, because they came into existence through colonialist war, mining and trading efforts.

[@mohdkhusainy9672]

For sure. They want to clean their money

[@mrpattersontheartguy]

@@mohdkhusainy9672 were most of the gemstones at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History collected legally or stolen? I fear they were stolen.

[@2Sugarbears]

Low prices for everything. Ten years ago this auction would have been a serious bun fight.

STEALTH TAXES NOT IN LIEbour manifesto...
tax thresholds will go down so you pay more taxes
for ex.
they are going to stealth tax higher amounts for inheritance to your next of kin or beneficiaries...meaning tax threshold goes down n beneficiaries PAY MORE STEALTH TAX...

Are the Rothchilds selling a lot of stock?

[@tstewart3034]

The "colonization "talk bothers me sometimes. You want items returned if stolen... BUT, i never hear anyone rushing to return their home, properties, money, or any other items because after all, NONE OF US would be here if not for war and colonization. Im a black man and I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for slavery. Obviously, being honest is not allowed in these topics.

How nice to see the Earl of Snowdon bid on the greek bronze of Eros!

[@eewilson9835]

Wow, what a perfect replica! How can I tell? Because digital transmission transfers quite dirty and moddled due to the old age of the painting, restoration cannot come close to presenting the brilliant colors of this piece shown immediately in this video. Nothing lasts forever, and art is the first thing to get dingy, in fact, people did not value washing their hands or keeping their hands to themselves, they touched artwork like it was no big deal, and it showed appreciation of a work of art. Fail, Sorry Old Masters, I'm not interested in replicas.

Hello. I have a valuable and rare stamp set, can you help or buy?
