Fun fact, there's an even more expensive car than the 250 GTO SWB, the Bugatti Type 57SC. Only 4 were made and 3 remain, having an estimated value of over 100 million.
That's hilarious that King Farouk was able to collect the only double eagle. He was a notorious scammer. Apparently he had actually stolen the watch of Winston Churchill once.
The value of Burning TC is significantly elevated due to several factors: its versatility as an all-class item, its aesthetic compatibility with a variety of loadouts, and its rarity and desirability as a highly sought-after effect. Furthermore, the Burning TC has achieved a level of notoriety that has cemented its status as an interchangeable symbol of Team Fortress 2, surpassing even the esteemed value of the regular TC. It is not simply a matter of pixelated whimsy or hyperbolic speculation, but rather the result of several distinguished qualities that contribute to its worth.
I always found it curious how so many other companies got SO much hate for lootboxes/lootcrates, yet nobody ever blamed or poured hate on Valve for inventing the damned things in the first place!! It was like either everyone had conveniently forgotten this "small" fact, or almost nobody knew about it to begin with.
Well, because valve's lootbox system is pure luck And it has an actual economy behind it, so you can always exchange 3 bad items for 1 good etc etc, and you look dapper with some hats
theres a very good reason; it's purely cosmetical and not in anyway pay to win or even "pay to save time". Additionally, there's an actual TF2 and CS:GO economy. If you unbox the rarest item in Overwatch, you'll have still wasted money in the end. But if you unbox a burning flames team captain or a factory new dragon lore you'll make good money from selling them intelligently.
@@notting2640 I think you're missing my point - if Valve hadn't have invented the things in the first place, then there wouldn't have been other companies that saw it and went "we can replace the cosmetic stuff with stuff that actually gives advantages" and we wouldn't be in the gaming mess we're in today. There wouldn't BE lootboxes. Valve proved the concept wasn't just possible, but ridiculously addictive too. I know MAYBE someone else might have still created them eventually ... but maybe not?? How many years did we have of games before CS and lootboxes became a thing? And in all that time nobody else invented the bloody things. So ultimately, yes Valve is to blame 100% for the existence of lootboxes and 100% SHOULD GET HATE FOR IT.
You shouldn’t need to feel like you need to invest monetarily to be apart of a group or community. It will only be an artificial interest that’s very fragile

Another comment about history, the Rosetta Stone has 3 languages on it, all 3 being ancient languages and studied so we can understand the ancient languages, Demotic, Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Ancient Greek. It’s also got value from it being tied to a war and Napoleon so it’s just so expensive and important it’s most likely a priceless artifact

To answer X’s question about Caesar, the public liked him, his army liked him but the senate hated him. He seized power in a way that disrespected the senate and due to it being a Republic they considered it a disrespect to the Roman people. Caesar was insanely ambitious and power hungry, so Caesar was a good and bad guy.

Imagine having your house burn down and literally everything you own was completely destroyed other than a fucking trading card that could buy you a mansion and replace every single lost possession.
