RE: Are Splinterlands Cards A Good Investment?

I must admit I bought about 100 cards to play the game, but in the bear market I sought out other income, and decided to rent the majority of my cards, mainly because I didnt want to sell them.

As for eventually selling, I may sell some during the next bull.
It was hard to keep track of my basis, as I was not consistent at recording sales.

I initially believed it would be retrievable at any time, but soon learned the recording system was in a code that required even more knowledge and work.

Renting has been a mixed bag, with consistent income, but with dropping prices it requires regularb adjustment of rents to keep cards rented.

There are exceptions, as some cards stay rented. I did pretty good leveling certain low mana cards up to max and renting them cheaply to high level players. This turned out to be tricky, as some 1 mana cards rent poorly, while others have markets whivh support ten rentals of the same card.

I think the rental market, like playing the game, requires studious patience, careful note taking and patience.

It will be interesting to watch the market as new cards come, cards age out of modern and can only be played with wild.
