Hidden Value Lurking in Your Cards?
As with most things, collectors will always try and find a way to make their collectables seem a bit more valuable. The first car off the assembly line, the print number of a magazine, even blemishes from a print batch. While digital collectables are unlikely to have bad print runs, it does appear that there may be other ways your favorite SL card could be slightly more valuable to the right person.
I'm sure many of you are already aware that each Splinterlands card has a randomly assigned 'serial' number to verify it's authenticity and ownership. This appears in Splinterlands as
C3 being the edition - Reward
229 is the card itself - Axemaster
4S3ZO154MO is a seemingly randomly generated alphanumeric code that identifies the exact card and separates it from all other cards with the same monster and edition.
This random 10 digit identifier leaves trillions of possibilities and the same amount of possibilities for unique words to appear.
All of this was brought to my attention in a conversation about a Byzantine Kitty which happened to contain the letters PUR within the 10 digit identifier. I'm no mathmatician, but the odds of that word landing on a Byzantine Kitty seem pretty slim. Now imagine the same being true for the word MEOW.
While this appears to be something of a novelty for now, as I believe that Splinterlands is still in its very early stages, imagine what the collectors value could be down the line. We are already seeing this kind of activity in the NFT space with other games/collectables.
What are some of the words you've found within your collection or even ones that you know about? Do you already know someone who collects cards like this?
Hello, @douglife31! This is @jcrodriguez from @OCD team.
I am also a splinterland player. Maybe we will meet in a tournament or in a clan battle. Success in Hive and Splinterlands!
We saw that you already posted your first post here in Hive! Congratulations and welcome! However, it would be awesome if you do an introduction post. As a sample of what an intro post is, you can refer to this intro post for reference:
Keeping Up With the Buzz - My Introduction to the Hive Community
There's no specific format on how you do your intro post, but there is some suggested content that we would love to see in your post. Information like who are you and where you're from, how did you discover Hive or who invited you, what types of content you want to see here and the types that you want to produce, and what are your expectations in this platform. There's no pressure on this. You can choose whatever information you would like to share.
You can explore the communities that you may like in this post: OCD Communities Incubation Program. There is a wide variety of topics, you are sure to find the right communities for your content.
You may encounter RC (Resource Credits) issues when trying to comment/post because you don't have enough Hive Power in your account yet. You can fix this with a one week temporary delegation through the Gift Giver Site. Another solution is for the person who recommended Hive to delegate some Hive Power to you.
If you are looking for tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: newbie guide. They are easy to understand and useful for learning how the platform ecosystem works.
Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.
If you have questions or concerns, you can hop into OCD's Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions.
Lovesniper will follow you, we hope to see your presentation post soon!
It's DOUGLIFE!!! SO glad you're on splintertalk now!!! It's you and me vs. the world bud!
You do not need to put #peakd as a topic-tag ... there is no real benefit and the post is not about PeakD.com so there really isn't a reason to. We are likely the only account to search for posts with the topic tag #peakd so it really doesn't benefit you much. We suggest you use that space for another topic tag that will help your post more and is more related to the topic of your post.
If you talk about peakmonsters.com then we suggest using #peakmonsters
I hope this has been a helpful educative comment.
