BBC Antiques Roadshow guests were shocked to find out on Sunday's episode that the 1969s newspaper sideboard they brought with them was worth a whopping four-figure sum.
The Leeds couple were clearing out their garage when they rediscovered an Evening Standard poster reading “Kennedy dead”.
President John. F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on November 22, 1963.
Not believing it would be worth anything, the couple considered throwing it away, but instead applied for Antiques Roadshow on a whim.
When Clive Farahar, the show's books and manuscripts expert, told the pair that the poster was worth £1,000, they covered their mouths in shock.

Clive said: “I mean, this is absolutely shocking.” With news like this…Evening Standard London newspaper. Where did you find that?'
The gentleman replied: “When I was growing up in London in the 1950s, my parents owned some utilitarian furniture and one of them was a sideboard, which I inherited.” At the beginning of the year we needed some space in the garage.
His wife interrupted him: “I decided the garage was a tip and I wanted him to clean it out. 'The sideboard was full of old paintings and you know what things you keep.'
The gentleman continued: “It was probably there for over 60 years,” before his wife admitted: “It almost ended up in the trash. He came out of the garage and said, “Look at this.” I said, “Put it in the trash.”
This comes after Jonathan Ross revealed his huge vintage toy collection – the largest collection in the UK – in a December special of the show.
Jonathan, 63, confessed his love for vintage items and admitted that although it is an “unhealthy obsession” he feels a “weight lifts off him” when he is in the room, which he calls his safe space.
The broadcaster caught up with presenter Fiona Bruce to give a grand tour of his collection, particularly showcasing his love of Japanese action figures.
Speaking about the cause of his obsession, Jonathan said: “And what a prosaic answer would be, and this is pretty typical I think, is that I come from a pretty poor background. “When I was a kid, I didn't have that Toys I wanted.
