I can't afford to invest heavily in #SteemMonsters as I would like to. Gosh, I'd love to be one of those here who is constantly opening tens (or even hundreds) of booster packs every day, but my finances just don't stretch that far. My investment in SteemMonsters so far is just a couple of booster backs that I have been able to purchase from the creation and curation rewards I've received (so, essentially, from the generosity of those who have upvoted my content), and the rest are all packs that have been donated to me.
I am truly grateful to everyone who has upvoted my content, enabling me to earn more Steem. I am even more grateful to those who have donated booster packs of SteemMonster cards to me, whether via competitions or just individual gifts, including...
There are also many others who have donated individual cards to my collection.
The thumbnail image of this post shows all of the booster packs which I have opened so far, right up to the two packs that I received today from 
I'm still giving away my Common duplicate cards to n00bies who are of equal or less Steem Age and Reputation than me. I want to encourage new players to join the SteemMonsters craze, and it is a great way to thank those who have generously donated to me, by "paying-it-forward", and hopefully attracting new blood to the game.
By the way, for the avoidance of all doubt, I do have one Gold Foil in my collection at present, a Sabre Shark from 
's SteemMonstersDB tool.
