The 1996 auction of the Jackie Kennedy Onassis estate was expected to bring in a total of $5 million, but the first night's take was $4.5 million. A worn footstool went for $33,350 and a silver tape measure sold for $48,875. The nights highest price was for a walnut tobacco humidor that had belonged to President Kennedy. It sold for $574,000. Many items auctioned were common they became valuable because of whom they had belonged to. When we feel common and question our value, "it's good to know that ...we belong to the Lord" (Romans 14:8).
