Treasure hunting isn’t always about value—it’s about timing.
In this week's 'Collector’s Corner,' a chance encounter with a forgotten artist leads to a deeply personal connection, uncovered on New Year’s Eve in the most unexpected place.

In the hunt for treasure, timing is everything. I thought about that on the afternoon of New Year's Eve as I visited my neighborhood Goodwill.
