Lucky is at a professional baseball game and catches a homerun baseball that is worth $50,000.  The ball was hit by a star player, and it broke the record for the longest homerun ball in the baseball club’s history. Lucky keeps the ball, puts it on his shelf, and shows it to all his friends.  In the next year, Lucky’s accountant tells him he has to pay tax on the ball.
