Mr Luxury Yacht posted:What are they up to now? Last sale I heard of a few years ago was in the $30k range but I recall reading a listing for a beta release one of $100k. It was at one point about $200k but it looks like it's more like $150k Baronjutter posted:The anti-counterfeiting on magic cards can't be so flawless that for 50k or 100k the market isn't being flooded with counterfeits. Don't look up Magic Finance. It's basically bitcoins with something tangible. So Beanie Babies. Also you can get super cheap near perfect replicas from China. They will stand up to most scrutiny and honestly in most cases people wouldn't even notice since poo poo is double sleeved. It's people who try and sell that too dumb kids. There is currently an old school tournament 93-94 coming up in Austin that is 100% proxy. It of course is not sanctioned by Hasbro.

Rad, this guy is a hero. gently caress every form of "collecting" where it's just a single corporation purposefully creating shortages of incredibly cheap things to make them "rare" for collectors to fool them selves into thinking that makes them valuable. Magic cards have gone on for a while without any sort of bubble popping, but like sports cards and beenie babies it always eventually does pop.

JoelJoel posted:A friend of mine works at the weather network. They have to close caption everything. Depending if it's live or not they'll have a either a speech to text program do what it can or have a person read everything back real time. Even in the latter you get mistakes. I was once drinking in a bar that had Nell with Jodie Foster on tv with closed captions. She plays someone raised by wolves or something and her crazy talk was obviously a challenge for the person typing it in. When she’d talk it would pause, then the captioner starts facerolling the keyboard like HNGNGGNLLGGHHHH

Antioch posted:Saskatchewan also has Elbow, Eyebrow, Moose Jaw, and Climax. There's A Song about Newfoundland town names. There was a campaign a while back to change some of the names because they were real weird. I don't think too many people were fond of that and I'm pretty sure Dildo is still Dildo.

Baronjutter posted:The anti-counterfeiting on magic cards can't be so flawless that for 50k or 100k the market isn't being flooded with counterfeits. I heard a story from years ago (probably apocryphal) where a fairly organised enterprise hit a whole bunch of Magic stores with good-to-great fakes of the Power Nine. Same day, same story along the lines of "Oh these were my brother's, he's shipped off to Iraq and wanted me to sell them", and the Nine were mixed in with a bunch of normal, real cards that were practically worthless. This was the early 2000s, so of course they all then got onto their discussion forum and said "I just got a great deal on an Alpha Power Nine!", "Oh no poo poo, so did I!", "Oh crazy a dude came in just this morning and sold me a Nine for a great price!". Then the penny dropped and they all realised they'd been had. Like I said, the story could be made up, but every now and then you hear someone referring to a "Mafia Lotus" because they assume that it must have been the Mafia that did it. I've never seen one and doubt they actually exist, but it's a hell of a story.

Well, that, and they covered so much stuff that they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for content. "Secrets the Stapler Industry Doesn't Want You To Know About" "Six Reasons That Charlie Korsmo Is A Hollywood Dudebro"

Yeah sometime last year Cracked got bought out and the new owners first filled the site with a crazy amount of ads, then fired every funny or interesting staff member and turned the site into a terrible, generic clickbait bonanza with zero effort.
