What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?

This would be an excellent question to ask The American Chestnut Foundation.

It's called Black Lotus, I think. Not totally sure since I have never been interested in mtg as anything but something to have fun playing at a medium-high level, but I've heard copies of their original release go for many thousands of currency notes. Much to expensive for my means, but that's okay.

The Lost Ark of the Covenant actually
Are you sure?

What is growing there now? It sounds like a pretty shitty situation.
The surviving forests are often oak, hickory, ash, pine. A different blight is working its way through the Eastern Hemlock, which are truly the giant sequoias of the East. Humongous old trees.
Also, corn, wheat, rice, tobacco, towns, cities, suburbs. Probably a third of the US population lives in that green area, to include Washington DC, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Altoona, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Memphis, Charlotte, Asheville, Atlanta...looks like it misses Colombia and just barely grazes Raleigh.

Owning that super special version of Nintendo World Cup that they made for some tournament and only 4 copies in the entire world exist. And IIRC, James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) owns 3 of them.

The Power Nine https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Power_Nine before mtg worked out how to balance, these 9 cards in the alpha/beta set were brokenly overpowered. There's an alpha Ancestral Recall on ebay rn for $5.5k

For example, in the headphone world, the Sennheiser HE-1 headphones are said to be like the pinnacle of headphones and most expensive, costing $59000 for a pair.

Oooh, hey!! I have that game but haven't played it yet. It looks freaking dope. Any suggestions? If I can't convince my family to play I was just going to try it solo
It's the "revised edition" if that matters

organize a "games night" and see if people are interested: "Hey, on Friday night I'm inviting people over to play Agricola. Do you want to come?"
Board Games, in particular Euros that take can take over 2 hours to play are not something that get pulled out on a whim during social gatherings. -
find a board game meetup near you (try meetup.com for example). It's easier to turn board gamers into friends than friends into board gamers.

Are you aware of this guy on youtube? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeEf90AEmmxaQs5BUkHqR3Q he creates some very inspired mini electronics.
Subscribed. Thank you!

It's a fantastic game. If you're playing with less experienced gamers I would probably leave the occupation/improvement cards out at first.
And seconding what Cile said. You show up to a gaming meetup with Agricola and I can pretty much guarantee someone is going to want to play. It's a classic for a reason. Way easier to convince someone that already likes board games.

Any serious guitarists will let you know their holy grail.
It's not any guitar; it's another guitar.
I bought mine for $100!
I got it new back in the early 2000s but it had a flaw in the fretboard. I returned it for exchange but they discontinued it so refunded me instead. Telling this story to someone a decade later, they suggested eBay. I looked and there it was, bought it on the spot and had it in my hands a week later.
I have enough guitars but am now looking at other instruments. A cello is high on the list.
-
My dude. $1,200 is not all that much if it's something that is going to be part of the rest of your life.
For sure. I just have a fairly decent barbell right now (came as a set with bumper plates) and I've got other stuff I need to spend money on. But soon!

None of the ones I already own sound good, though. Since it can't possibly be me that is the problem, I need to purchase another, more expensive one.

In California Brook Trout is non-native, but we have a Heritage Trout Challenge where anglers try to catch six of the native trout species in their native streams. When somebody completes the challenge they get a custom certificate showing the species they caught and dates. So far I’ve caught one - California Golden Trout.
I had no idea California had so many native species. Those golden look wild!

The Imperator-Class Titan is the largest mini in Warhammer 40k.
I have fantasized about using one of these in an actual game ever since I learned of their existence in 8th grade.

Never on the ground here anymore, US$100 online but not from any vendor I trust. It's a really nice ingredient for a lot of cocktails.
That's a real shame man. Remember when I worked at a bar that stocked it we would do shots of it all the damn time just for the heck of it. Worst part is I don't even like chartreuse as a shot lmao
