Hey thanks for the read @financialadvice. Funny thing is it locked in a lot of value for me. I was powering down when all of that started and steem was way the heck higher than it is now, I think it was still over a buck actually at the time. I was buying cheap original alpha cards with the steem that was powering down and flipping them once there was a market set up. I was making the tiniest of margins for quite a long time as cards were having their fad periods I would sell into the highs and buy as much as I could that was undervalued. I actually turned not quite a thousand steem into about half of what my collection is today, and it's valued around $7k based on the internal market values of the game. So it was a combination of getting very lucky and timing I suppose. Oh and of course being too stubborn to quit buying them and flipping even when it appeared like it was stalling out a few brief periods.
