It’s been a while since I’ve played a game of Splinterlands and have sold off most of my individual cards since I didn’t have time to play, but have continued to invest in the Splinterlands ecosystem.
Rental Cards
I have a very small rental card inventory, but it’s something I’m always looking to expand when I have the time and the money. It has worked out very well so far as most if not all cards continue to be rented pretty regularly as well as increase in value over time.
I have mixed feelings as I’m not sure if the cards will hold their value over time and should eventually sell them to buy new more popular cards to rent out or just keep them in hopes they continue to increase in value over time.
Another option I have thought about is once cards reaches a certain price or roi to sell the cars and purchase more sealed inventory.
“Sealed” Product
One very important thing to remember is that once you open a pack of cards in any collectible card game that pack can’t be resealed so sealed product slowly becomes more and more rare.
I’m not 100% sure this will hold true for Splinterland cards because as the packs become more and more rare certain high value cards will be 100% in circulation and not be in any remaining packs. In a physical game this is impossible to track, but would assume pretty easily tracked in a digital card game.
I tend to think having the last few sealed packs will still carry a certain premium even if the cards inside will be known to a certain extent, but would love to know your thoughts in the comments below how you think the price will play out for the last few sealed packs on the market.
Conclusion / Legendaries
I can’t believe it but their is not a single legendary that’s currently below $1. Also, their isn’t a single alpha card whose price is below $25 currently.
I don’t have regrets, but I wonder how much my collection would be worth if I kept all my alpha cards. If I had kept all my original alpha packs sealed.
I’m really impressed with the work the splinterlands team is doing and continues to do. With a healthy secondary market and a strong user base with an exciting roadmap for this year, I don’t see them slowing down anytime soon.
