Splinterlands Beta Cards | It is time to take some profit

So I guess the new updates in Splinterlands have made a big change to the dynamics of the game. With the whole land and plots sale and the ability to rent out cards, suddenly the demand for cards has been increased a lot and prices are going through the roof.

Like two weeks ago my account was worth $1400 dollars as you can see in this post and now the same account has increased to a shocking $1900 bucks, which is actually more than the current value of my HIVE account. Crazy right? And that just in two weeks.





Valnamor is one of the cards that went totally bezerk over the last couple of months. I had two of these actually, because I bought 110 packs of Beta cards just before they went our of print, a bit as an investment. I think I sold the first Valnamor after a couple of months for $25 bucks, and the second one for about $40 bucks. Now they are on the market for $116, while the price of HIVE didn't increase that much (well it did, but also dropped again).

Talk about good chances right?

The 'Lightning Dragon' is another card that has gotten nice stats over the months. At first it was just a nice card to have and to play with, but by now all of a sudden it is worth $18 bucks.

And what about our friend the 'Flesh Golem'. I remember this dude was worth like $0.06 for a couple of years. But now all of a sudden these guys are $0.96 and I have tons of them. Now I get where the value of my wallet is all of a sudden. It is the gigantic increase in price is just easy cards.

So yes, I am dropping some Beta cards on the market here and there. To be honest, when I am playing I still use the Beta cards the most, because I have most of them leveled up to level 4 which is decently playable, and I guess we are most familiar with the abilities of these cards.

I don't want to sell to many of them. But as we have learned in the crypto markets. We must sell steadily on the way up, and buy on the way down. And that is what I am doing. I remember spending the $200 bucks on the Beta cards and I found it a lot. But alone the Beta card section I own is worth $800 bucks and I have already sold so many over the years.

It is just not a bad investment.

And I have said it before. I cash out some of the sold cards, but I am also buying so many Dice packs which have a tremendous amount of value in there. It almost feels stupid to sell the DEC, when you can also get even more cards..

I bought three packs today and one of the draws was this one here below

A legendary Cthulhu for $8, a Vera Salacia for $0.54, and Oyster Rotwell for $0.73 and a Gold Foil Marrow's Ghost for $1.24 all in one draw. The two other packs were not as succefull but still with value of around $1.50 per pack. That makes it more than successful I would say.

Ow yeah, I still play my daily quests as well, when I don't forget. And the rewards from those, well...Still worth it! But you also need to take some profits every now and then.
