Alex Clauson, pictured July 25, and Barry Ruderman, who buy and sell antique maps in La Jolla, California, found a rare map "a 14th-century Rex Tholomeus" Portolan Chart" at an estate sale for Gordon Getty. They bought the map for about $250,000, but found out that it's really worth $7.5 million. The map is said to be the oldest located in the United States.
