I'd take the one Indy picked, because as a movie prop, it's the most valuable. They're all fake, so the only value is in the movie lore.

EDIT: I was curious so I searched. It was auctioned in 2022, the estimate was $30K to $50K, so, yeah. I'd take that one.

"This looks like the work of a carpenter's son."

The only one who could ever reach me
was the son of the carpenter.

Yes he was, yes he was

I don't remember which one it was so I'll fail 😅

The cup of a carpenter of course!

Tap for spoilerIt was the wooden one

I still choose the actual Holy Grail because it would literally be priceless.

But if people don't believe it's the real one, then I choose whichever is the most materially valuable. So probably the one with the most gold?

There's an easy way to test, but it can only be done once

Don't drink out of it.

Give it to your landlord as payment-in-kind for several months' worth of rent. Maybe your landlord will drink out of it.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Priceless doesn't do me much good when my rent is very much quantifiable.

If it doesn't have a price, I cannot extract its worth for the purposes of paying my rent. Unless you're implying I pay my rent with the grail itself, which I don't think is a good deal.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Drinking out of it grants eternal youth, you don't sell it, you sell access to it.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

My dog in heaven, you could sell it for a priceless amount and then partition sections of the proceeds towards future rent.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

My dawg, priceless is a figure of speech. It doesn't mean you literally can't apply a price to it. Sell it for whatever you want if it's the Holy Grail.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

My dawg, I was just being pedantic for comedic effect. Didn't land. 🤷

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

If they were actually real and not a movie prop, the one that looks like it has jewels in it. Perfect for popping them out, melting the thing, and selling it all for as much as I can.

The capped copper cup with the capers inside.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

you wouldn't go for the jewel-encrusted cornichons?
