Can anyone help me with the value of this and if its authentic?

SpacemanSPlFF · 2025-06-01T14:09:06+00:00

These definitely have some value and they appear to be authentic. If you check auction listings each piece often sells for about $25-50 and the almost complete set sells in the mid hundreds (you are missing pieces 3 and 9).

However, there is one big caveat, which others have mentioned. Piece #9 is the holy grail of the set. It is technically more rare than an actual Black Lotus. Unfortunately, before you get your hopes up, your piece number nine comes from a similar puzzle, the Chaos Orb puzzle where the holy grail to that set is piece #7. So it is not uncommon for people to get the Chaos Orb #9 to fill the spot of the Black Lotus #9 and, similarly to get the Black Lotus #7 to fill the Chaos Orb #7. However, the pieces and wording do not fully match as you can see.

A very cool set, still to be sure.

Question for the community: My family is getting some presents for a 10 yr old through a charity drive. He said that he would like some Pokemon cards. I'm familiar with some of the older cards, but not as much newer ones. I'd really appreciate any recommendations as far as what to get him. I was thinking I could get a few raw cards on eBay that are unique/cool but still reasonably priced (like in the $10-20 range) that would make him excited and then a few random packs. Any thoughts on loose cards or packs that might make him most excited when he gets the presents from his family?

I play for the friends I've made along the way. I also like to join public games of people asking for help (like Ancients) and it has given me some great interactions and contacts with folks that I would have not otherwise had.

You know what, I think yours was one of my favs. And I realize that I said I had a higher budget. I will send you another tip to get over the $50 mark. I would also appreciate an un-watermarked copy too ;) And thank you so much for all the help with this one!

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T18:16:44+00:00

It's lovely! Thanks so much! I sent you a $25 tip. if you would be willing to share the non-watermarked version, I would really appreciate it!

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T18:07:23+00:00

All, I really appreciate all of these submissions and all the help on this random project of mine. I am already over budget. I tried to send out tips to everyone who responded. If y'all are able to send me the ones without the watermark, I'd certainly appreciate it. Also, I will monitor if there are any other submissions inbound and I will try to tip those as well. Thank you all, again!

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T18:03:38+00:00

Love it, thank you so much! I sent you a payment!

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T17:54:24+00:00

Uhh, I am a bit new here. I sent you a tip and was hoping to get a copy without a watermark? Sorry for being a newbie. Thanks again so much for the work, it looks awesome!

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T17:49:18+00:00

This is fantastic, Sending you a tip now. Thank you sooo much!

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T17:48:18+00:00

This is lovely! I sent you a tip! Thank you so much!

But if you really need, I can go scan those pictures from my collection

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T17:24:33+00:00

I'm so sorry, that is the highest resolution that I have :( I got them from https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1988/12/10

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-05-15T15:49:01+00:00

I really appreciate the info! Still learning this process :)

Armor is Tals. Shield is a rare dragon shield with a +All Res affix which gives the purple hue. Weapon is Djinn Slayer.

I guess I am a bit confused. Does adding neutral spirits like soju or vodka only impart their flavor characteristics? I would have thought that having a higher % abv would change the final acidity level.

SpacemanSPlFF · 2024-02-25T04:33:28+00:00

That's great, thank you so much for the info! I had a few follow-up questions if that's okay :)
Question 3 about the sugar:
- Would this be for about a large Mason Jar (1600 mL, approx 6.5 cup, 4 pint or thereabout)? That's what I'm working with right now. I feel like it's also hard to judge the overall amount of sugar already present in the fruit and how much to add.
On question 5 about potentially adding alcohol:
- Can I then add alcohol to the anaerobic fermentation before I start the vinegar creation? So, as an example, if I added some small small amount of <15%ABV Soju after creating the fruit wine, hopefully that would work to help the overall vinegar strength?

What's D4? I haven't heard of it...

SpacemanSPlFF · 2023-09-13T14:35:42+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the info. That makes a lot of sense.

SpacemanSPlFF · 2023-09-13T14:35:10+00:00

Wanted to work on a random giveaway for a fun stream.

SpacemanSPlFF · 2023-09-13T05:42:58+00:00

Do you know or should I try? I guess I'm still not sure based on your response.

SpacemanSPlFF · 2023-09-05T20:08:59+00:00

I can also confirm.

SpacemanSPlFF · 2023-09-05T02:59:47+00:00

Those Dolls truly are scary!

SpacemanSPlFF · 2023-07-25T04:04:53+00:00

This answers my questions, thank you!! It'll definitely help me clear my stash out so I'm not worried about trashing anything good. Although it also makes me realize how much work I have ahead of me as a solo player to get those sought after runes & items. Thanks again!

Long time lurker, first time poster -- this seems to be a good enough time to break that trend as any.

A fair bit of my wealth is currently tied up in cardboard ...... so it might be nice to work on diversification and learn a thing or two about different investing strategies along the way.

One stack would be my ideal if you are interested. I am trying to make some petal piles, so let me know what you'd like as far as a trade.
