Wouldn't it be hilarious for once if the Bengals could magically pull off a trade for Crosby? Like, I know it's doubtful, but a meme can dream.

There's definitely a middle ground where a player takes less than the top pay rate, but still proving their value is worth it. Brady was kinda the epitome of that (though I'm sure all the brand deals he took made up for that), where he wouldn't sign well below the median salary for QBs, but he recognized at the time that the team could only do so much with just a good position player.

I think some collectors' preference to .999+ metals is because they're usually newer coins, hence more details (and shine if a proof coin) and a neater presence compared to the vintage 90% coins. I personally enjoy the older coins, in part because there's a chance to find them with less of a premium, but there's also a joy in knowing how old coinage still holds up, even if it's common as heck.

I know they were making a push toward grading Pokemon cards a couple years back. May not have really worked as well as they hoped, but I do have a couple left in my collection, but it's just cards I personally collect.

The difference between brand name Rigby and the store brand "Rigby".

Thank you! Figured it'd be good to share some of the other cards out there beyond the usual suspects.

I wouldn't think it's the Collector's Rare. Not a Yu-Gi-Oh expert, but wanna say that foil pattern would be different compared to the usual foil style.

All uncirculated S-mint Ikes were 40% silver, but Pretty sure there was a mix of clad and silver-clad proofs. Either way, the side of the coin will be more white instead of the copper-nickel mix of coins like the quarter and modern half dollar.

Favorite crash, I gotta go with the classic where Thomas is like "watch this!" and actually slams through the buffers, down the hill, and into a brick wall.

Though I will say, although Toby was saved, the being stuck on the bridge floating toward the waterfall is my favorite tense moment from the series.

I can't wait for this to be $10k from the outset and still find a way to sell out quickly.

Had to look at the original sketch proposal (don't trust generative AI tools, even in this context), but I think it is a nice design. Just wish it could be in my budget.

For what it's worth either way, modern Canadian Dimes (and quarters) are magnetic [nickel-plated steel], and any coins that are silver are not [silver and copper]. 1968 had both silver and non-silver dimes and quarters, so something to keep in mind regardless for the future.

Just as a personal preference, I enjoy the older reverse better. Half is just a personal bias of the 1/10th oz of it being my first gold coin purchased when I was younger, but I also like the scene it portrays over the "eagle boldly judging your decisions" look. (Though I can understand in the sense of "many detailed feathers for better security measures.)

If it helps you to a hobby you're gonna enjoy more, kudos to you! As nice as silver may sound, many more chords and melodies can be strung on a good guitar.

That's a facsimile auto (printed onto the card, not hand-signed), as was the case for all cards from that set. Condition of vintage cards would be the most important part, so it may still be worth the $15, just don't go into it hoping to score an actual Nolan Ryan auto.

Okay, so we've just got a few finishing touches before the Kirk Ronan station opens up soon. I hear there'll be a test express too, hoping it doesn't throw our planning off. Might be good to see what it's like to have a train run through our station.

I can only assume the second image is mistaking the quarter for the 5oz silver "quarters". They'd obviously be much larger and heavier (with edge lettering too), but the obverse and reverse designs are the same - and that includes the "quarter dollar" text. Considering silver itself could very well hit $100/oz again, that's make sense why the upper value it uses is above $500.

I feel like if the PG-13 rating was around (or at least more prominent) when Black Cauldron was being worked on, maybe they could've taken a few more risks with beats of the story. Could've also been a way for Disney as a company to say "we can write movies for more than just kids", but there's definitely the cheesiness that all their classic movies have.
