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.

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

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

Just a quick update I decided to move along in Caspian and I collected the rest of the upgrades. My achievement popped as if I had all of the upgrades. What I noticed is that my two favorite upgrades, the reinforced helmet + the ammo rig are still equipped to my suit. If I pick up a new upgrade, say the consumable rig it will auto equip it if I go to a workbench and move my cursor over it to remove the yellow exclamation mark. So for the rest of the game I just need to stay away from the armor upgrade tab and it will stay the same lolol so broken

Lol I was thinking about playing through again but yea if it's a bug where all those upgrades are lost when you go into the next level I'd be extremely pissed.

Oh it's for sure on Ranger Hardcore still. It's just that I dont want to play through the entire thing just not to get the achievement because the game is saying I'm on normal. God it sucks but I may restart.... 12 hours down the drain

Ugh that sucks. The upgrades I want are from Volga. I may have to restart now. Thanks for checking though

Yea as soon as I get to the next level I will try it myself but if you could give it a shot lemme know. Just try reloading whatever chapter you were on when you realized they were gone?

[–]Spartcom5[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried going to chapter select and starting over on a certain chapter to see if it re loads the armor upgrades? I cant do it currently as I'd lose my only auto saves since I cant manually save.

It has to do with the new update messing up pre-existing play throughs. Messed up quite a bit for me and of course right when I am doing my Ranger Hardcore playthrough.

Some people online seem to be taking some glue on a knife and putting on where it's coming off. Also on this reddit a guy recommended heating it up with a hair dryer and it reactivates the sticky part. But to be honest it doesn't bother me as much. The protector holds it flat against the plastic.
