Hells_kitchen_tis_of_thee As reported in The New York Post (and on CNN.com)

A $10 flea-market picture of some flowers proved far more valuable when original handwritten lyrics to the patriotic song "My Country 'Tis of Thee" turned up in the picture's backing, a downtown [Manhattan] document dealer said yesterday.

The picture was purchased at the West 25th Street Market. The lyrics document was valued at $100,000.

With flea markets, you're sometimes treasure hunting and don't even know it!
