Occasionally we have a real jaw dropper.
An item that just makes you go "wow".
We bought one just last week. A signed picture painted by Pablo Picasso.
Time Magazine voted him one of the most important 100 people of the 20th century. Probably the most famous artist of all time.
This is considered billionaire territory. Picasso continues to be one of the most sought after painters in the world.
Nude on a Black Armchair sold for $45.1m in 1999.
Dor Maar au Chat sold for $95.2m at Sotheby's in 2006.
Serious investors purchase Picasso's as they have a proven performance.
Steve Wynn is a Las Vegas casino billionaire.
He had recently agreed to sell his Picasso for a record $139 million to fellow billionaire Steven Cohen.
But then Steve bumped into it and promptly put his elbow through the canvas.
It would have become the highest price ever paid for a painting, but Steve has chosen to repair his damaged Picasso and keep it.
But it needn't be billionaire territory.
Here is why... Imagine if I could offer you a genuine Picasso for £23,500.
You'd likely bite my hand off.
But that's just what we have. Take a look...

We have a Picasso picture in stock. An original ink drawing by Picasso signed by Picasso.
A genuine Picasso original ink drawing of a dove with an olive branch in its beak, flying over a striped shield.
It's signed and inscribed ‘Picasso, 7.8.60, Viva en Pablo Casals'.
The picture has been drawn on the front cover of a book dedicated to the famed Spanish cellist Pablo Casals.
Casals has even added his own writing ‘Merci Picasso' (thank you Picasso) below the drawing.
Rarely do we find items like this.
An original Picasso to hang on your wall. And at a price not limited to billionaires!
Happy Investing!
