Anatomy Chart Sells for €100 on Bares für Rares

A late‑1960s Ernst Klett school roll chart outperformed its €20 ask after dealers competed and turned the object into a short on‑air anatomy lesson.

Overview

  • A 22‑year‑old seller, Annika Ginster, brought a large school anatomy roll chart to ZDF’s Bares für Rares and said she kept it after a biology teacher gave it to her when she was 16.
  • Expert Sven Deutschmanek dated the chart to the late 1960s, named Ernst Klett Verlag as the publisher, and estimated its value at €40–60.
  • In the dealer room the bidding opened at €30 and rose quickly to €80 before Julian Schmitz‑Avila offered €100, which Ginster accepted, five times her original €20 ask.
  • The sale included a light‑hearted on‑air anatomy exchange in which dealer Markus Wildhagen named the penis, testicles and bladder and Wolfgang Pauritsch asked about the prostate.
  • The same Oct. 12 episode also featured an 82‑year‑old seller’s Jaeger‑LeCoultre Memovox that, with documentation and good condition, sold for €2,750, underlining how provenance and condition drive prices.
