Lol thanks man, I love baby Jesus portraits. I am not sure the artist and forget the era (not good at art history) but I saw it in the Cleveland Museum of Art.  I love Mary’s hands and how the skin on her face looks like fingerprints


These guys were also from the museum. I’d definitely eat mushrooms with the first guy

Theyre saying it's late byzantine 1450 clearly Greek orthodox egg tempura  on gold a classic example of medieval iconography where they used to depict Christ as tiny adult man baby. Also if u flip thru these pictures u can see they did a fair job at the restoration really bringing bact the illumination of the guilding and chiaroscuro of the tempura espicially in the hands and the warm glow found in the face of a doting holy mother :sadyes:

Yes I did notice that the theme from that gallery was blond baby Jesus with a young man’s head.  Pretty bizarre..but I assume medieval aristocrats really desired seeing things that way?  I appreciate the context of the work, chief

What’s up everyone!?!

It’s been Oktoberfest here in München.
I’ve lapsed on my vegetarian diet and have been filling myself up with lots of currywurst, doner kababs and of course, BEER!!!

Besides that the new Disney/ Ravensburger trading card game Lorcana has been filling up my time and thoughts. I speculated pretty early on Enchanted foils, I was able to pick up dozens of each card back when most were only around $100-$150ish and you could pick up Elsa for under $500. A few days after that an organized buyout took place and prices SPIKED, with Else going all the way up to $1200. Things have settled a bit and she is back down to $700ish, but that’s still a lot less than I was paying and so I’m glad I invested when I did.

I’ve been playing the game a lot online via Pixelborn and playing a lot with my wife and with my son. My son is starting to understand the game pretty well, so pretty soon I might stop letting him win for a match or two and terrorize him with my Ruby/ Amethyst hyper control deck a little bit.

:smilingpuppy:

I have A LOT of sealed Lorcana waiting for me back in the US, I’m super excited to open all of that when I travel back in two weeks for the Bassnectar Vegas show. I’m tired of opening German product lol, I already have a full German master set.

Anyways, that’s what’s been going on with me. My Disney addiction and my trading card addiction have now combined in a very very dangerous way. If any of you play or are interested in the game I’d love to talk, otherwise I’m not going bore you all with card talk.

It’s getting later here, so I’m off to bed pretty soon but figured I’d check in.

I had never heard of the Disney game, but I looked into it and it's sooo very similar to MTG in many ways.

If you're deeply invested I'd take the $700 before prices keep coming down.

Remember, they can probably just print as many cards as they want, just like Pokemon and MTG< they supposedly watch the markets to not flood it, but I've seen otherwise.

And remember- they're going to have to come out with newer and more powerful cards, making the older ones less valuable- just like MTG does all the time- it's the only way to keep a game like this alive.

And I don't see these becoming long term collectables, I see this more like a "Beanie Baby phase"

Just my @cents?
My advice: take some profits while you can- but you're rich right so it doesn't matter if the value drops to $10 ?

I dont get why cards are valuable


--------------------
For most of the normies out there, an operating system is just a bootloader for Google Chrome.

Since Disney has obtained tremendous value from the public domain, knows how important the public domain is, and is firmly determined to never contribute anything to it.

@Fiery: I mean, you’re probably right. But I’m just a silly little goblin who likes to collect and horde shiny things. The game just came out and not enough was printed, not enough by a lot. Which has caused it to be very heavily targeted by scalpers/ resellers. $6 packs are selling for $20 second hand and $130 booster boxes are going for $400. The second hand market is currently going insane and there isn’t going to be any reprinted product available until about March of next year. The reprint could collapse prices, or honestly could cause them to go up a bit. While supply is super low right now, demand is hard to really determine. There are A LOT of people waiting for the Q1 2024 restock to buy into the game. And who says the reprint isn’t just going to get scalped to hell just like the first wave. But ya, you’re probably right, but I just really enjoy having the cardboard. People said Charizards were gonna get reprinted into the dirt and we all know how that turned out.

You buy silver. Why does silver have value? You can’t eat it or even play games with it? What a rip off!!!

Silver is a valuable resource. Cards are pieces of printed cardboard

Longstanding perception of its value all over the world, partly because of its use in jewelry. If the silver or gold prices crashed I would "back up the truck" and keep buying the lower they went. Right now I don't buy any because I don't think they're a good deal. I was buying as much silver as I could around 2008, but I didn't have much money to play with, so subsequent price increases weren't exciting to me. I'd rather see low prices until such time as I might have a significant amount accumulated. Because there will always be another bull run, pretty much guaranteed, and if the whole system collapses people will probably still like shiny jewelry.

With collectibles it's hard to have the same confidence that the price will always go back up, in part because there are fewer people who believe in their value.

Also if you want to get a bit decadent with silver you can eat with it, like silver silverware and tea sets and shit like that.
