Steem Monsters Pack Opening + Alpha Card Giveaway Series - Booster Pack 12

in #steemmonsters5 years ago

CK Pack Opening Giveaway.jpg


I'm running a new series to reveal the true open rates of Steem Monsters Booster Packs, because people usually just post the good stuff which leads to massive disappointment when you just get a RARE and 4 COMMONS (Standard Pack).

Each day in this series I'll open a single pack, and make a nice gif so you can experience the fun too and then keep a tally of the card costs.

My assumption is it's cheaper to buy the cards you need in the Peakmonsters marketplace but I could be wrong.

Oh and I'll be giving away an Alpha Steem Monsters Card every day, scroll down for the giveaway details.

So let's begin...

Steem Monsters Booster Pack #12

Steem Monsters Cards Revealed

Alric Stormbringer [RARE] - $0.17

Goblin Sorcerer - $0.04

Silvershield Warrior - $0.04

Kobold Miner - $0.04

Peaceful Giant - $0.20

Current Value [USD]

Spent - $24

Current Market Value - $7.66

Balance - $16.34 [LOSS]


Assumptions: Card values never rise, but we all know this isn't going to be the case. However, documenting this means I can come back later and review the old prices.

Best Card in Pack: Alric Stormbringer

Highest Priced Card Revealed in this Series: Silvershield Knight [GOLD]

Conclusion: Back to the so-so packs again. Man, these are really disappointing to open. That said it could have been a lot worse. I totally rate the Peaceful Giant but won't pay overs for a common.

I've been a bit confused following these posts @just2random. How are you paying $24 for one pack of 5 cards?

That's the total over the whole series

Ah I see @just2random. Thanks! 😊

Ok so far you’ve been making a loss. Other than the sheer pleasure of collecting cards and swapping/giving away duplicates, why bother with the booster packs?

Actually... that raises the question does it matter that you have duplicates in this kind of game?

Posted using Partiko iOS

Yes, because you use the duplicates to "combine" cards, and that increases their level, giving them additional skills, health, or ability to deal damage in battle.

Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.

You rolled a 12.

Where’s that freaking gf legendary?

lol, don't hold your breath. You have more chance of flipping a gold foil than a legendary and even less chance of flipping both.
