| @OGJackster needs to send a PM to someone like @CFP_Comics. He'll likely get a quicker response. I'm not sure the current head presser for CBCS frequents these boards. |

| @DrWatson are you sure about receiving by the tenth? For some reason I was thinking the 15th and was going to send my 3rd group in tomorrow morning. Now I can’t seem to find anything about it. 🤷♂️ | ||

| I'm pretty sure it was to be postmarked by Oct. 31st and received by Nov. 10th, but I could be wrong. You would have to ask Cody to be sure. | ||

Does anyone know of a good way to clean, polish, or display a piece of petrified wood?  |

 Apparently, I am easily annoyed.

| AI says: To clean petrified wood, first wash it with soap and water and scrub with a soft brush. For tougher stains or mineral deposits, soak it in a weak acid like diluted vinegar, then rinse thoroughly. To polish, use progressively finer grits of sandpaper (wet or dry) by hand or with a Dremel, finishing with a polish for a mirror shine, or simply buff with a soft cloth after cleaning to bring out its natural luster. Display your piece on a stand or use it as a decorative accent. Cleaning Basic wash: Gently wash the piece with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush or toothbrush to remove loose dirt. Tougher cleaning: For calcium deposits or other stubborn grime, soak the wood in a solution of diluted white vinegar for a few hours until the fizzing stops. More stubborn deposits might require a stronger acid like muriatic acid, but this is dangerous and requires proper safety precautions. Rinsing: After any chemical treatment, rinse the piece thoroughly with water to remove all residue. Polishing For a simple shine: After cleaning, wipe the piece with a soft cloth. A light buffing with a soft cloth can bring out its natural luster. For a high gloss: Sandpaper: Use a series of wet or dry sandpaper grits, starting with a coarser grit and moving to much finer grits (1200 or higher) for a polished surface. Tools: A Dremel tool can speed up the process, but use with caution and wear a dust mask to avoid silicosis. A vibratory flat lap is an alternative for large pieces. Display Showcase its natural beauty: Many people prefer to leave their petrified wood in its natural state, using it as a decorative element or even turning it into a water fountain. Use a stand: A simple stand can highlight the piece's shape and colors. Integrate into décor: Place it on a shelf, table, or in a planter for a unique decorative accent. |

| For tracking and managing collections of non-sports TCGs, Collectr, the TCGplayer App, and ManaBox are highly recommended for their accuracy, scanning capabilities, and support for multiple games. Top Recommendations Collectr: This app is praised as a "next-generation portfolio manager" that values your collection like a stock portfolio. It tracks the prices of major TCGs like Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Disney Lorcana. It pulls pricing data primarily from TCGplayer and sometimes averages with eBay sales data, providing generally accurate market values. TCGplayer App: Directly linked to the vast TCGplayer marketplace, this app offers "unparalleled speed and accuracy" in scanning cards and tracking their real-time market prices. It is a reliable choice for the games listed on its marketplace. ManaBox: Recommended specifically for Magic: The Gathering, this app is noted for its excellent scanning and collection management features, including deck building tools. Users appreciate its clean interface and accurate price tracking. Shiny: This app offers fast and accurate scanning for a variety of TCGs, including Pokémon, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, and One Piece. It provides real-time and historical prices and allows for managing unlimited items. |

| I haven't tried cleaning it yet, but I am thinking a little Dawn in some warm water and a toothbrush. I used to clean mom's wedding ring for her with a paste toothpaste and a toothbrush when she wanted to see it sparkle. So, maybe that as well. | ||

| Does anyone here know if CBCS will grade Golf Digest magazines. They're not really digests, only slightly smaller than a typical mag (8 x 10.5 x .25) | ||
