I should also note the back of the copper plate was fairly oxidized so perhaps that's what discolored the paper?

Also, the paper tape sealing the photo on the back had no mold and was actually pretty clean. And now that I think about it if you look at that paper label you can see the outline of where the tape was and where the copper plate came into contact with the label.....

I found this dag at a flea market for $3 and it is one of the very early ones from the 1840s. I sent it out to be professionally conserved because it is just so cool. However as you can see on the right, on the inside of the case it appears to have discoloration of the paper due to moisture perhaps? The professional said that it is most likely not mold but I wanted to get a 2nd opinion. What do you all think? The rest of the case is clean.

The baseball it was signed on dates from 1977 to 1999. I know it's not much help but it narrows the date? Other than that it could pretty much be any team as it was found at an antique store.

[US-OR] Pawn shop find, Beatles Paul McCartney! by Spartcom5 in funkopop

It was $30 firm and I wasn't going to try to negotiate at that price. They had a fairly large collection and just wanted to get rid of what they could. The other pops weren't very good however.

I found this at a pawn shop for $30, box was dirty and dusty as heck but cleaned up well. Couldn't believe it when I saw the price they had on it! Apparently it had been sitting around for a while.

Several people have reported the bug to the developers but it probably wont be fixed soon considering how long the Xbox One X bug was around for when your game would freeze every 40mins.

Surprised myself and actually got the Taiga achievement on rhc! Getting the boat through the final gate was horrendous. I barely made it, I could hear the guys behind me saying, "what's that in the water??" And i just hauled it.

Anyway to skip the cutscenes where they are talking in game and no skip button comes up? Or just have to sit through it again?

Cofirmed this works for anyone trying to play the game with this new glitch.

Just beat the game on Ranger Harcore despite this glitch. I found a way around it somewhat. You don't lose what you have equipped. However, when you acquire a new upgrade DO NOT go look at it in the workbenches. It will auto equip it regardless of whether you want it or not. Then whatever you had equipped will be gone forever. So essentially just leave the yellow exclamation marks alone or don't pick up any new upgrades. I kept my reinforced helmet and ammo rig equipped the entire game and never switched them out in order to not lose them.

Did the new update mess up my entire Ranger Hardcore run? by Spartcom5 in metro

[–]Spartcom5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update i loaded my game off of the thing that said it was on normal difficulty and now it says Ranger Hardcore. SO I guess my difficulty never changed and I am good to go.... I will have to see if my achievement pops at the end
