Who knew Winnie the Pooh was worth so much?
An original, oval pencil sketch by E.H. Shepard, shows Pooh bear dipping his paw into a pot of honey while sitting at a table. Piglet and Tigger are also in the drawing.
So can you guess how much the sketch sold for?
It went for $50,000!!!
The winner of the pricey piece of history was a telephone bidder from Germany who bought it for his wife, who’s apparently a big Pooh fan.
But will he be a repeat buyer?
On the day of the sketch auction, it was announced that another auction would take place in London on December 17th, offering “the finest single collection of Shepard’s original drawings for the Pooh books.”
The collection will also include a rare selection of A.A. Milne’s books, and the entire thing is expected to bring in around $835,000 to $1,200,000.
A waste of money or a good investment?
What do U think?
