Serious question, a guy at a garage sale in 2019 called my $2 lunchbox a 'sleeper' and now it's in a museum exhibit

I was at a garage sale in Toledo in 2019 and this older guy pointed at a dented metal lunchbox I was buying for $2 and said 'that's a sleeper, you watch.' I laughed it off, but I held onto it, and last month I saw the same design in a museum exhibit about mid-century factory workers. Has anyone else had a random stranger call out a cheap find that later turned out to be something?
