After strolling around the open market for card deals I reasoned with myself as to why there is lackluster trading of cards on the open market. My main reason is simply because there is a low supply of cards in the market and this maybe a good thing.
For instance the newest series have most of the summoners under 100 cards currently on the open market. For those who played this game when it was booming the amount of cards for sale where more than 3x.
Even legacy abundant series in Chaos the amount of summoners were close or less than that of modern series. These numbers under represent the true amount of Chaos of cards that were printed. The willing sellers of current cards in open market is just a fraction of what it could be.
You look at even free cards in Foundation and there still is not many summoners with more than 100 in the open market.
The demand of cards is just not able to exist because the supply is low. It may come to a point where too many diamond holders of their Splinterlands cards then thereby limiting price appreciation.
Even at Splintercards.com tracker the amount of trades in open market is barely over 3300. While we have millions upon millions of cards in circulation across the game. If there would be ways to incentivize players to trade and sell more of their cards it may very well help boost card prices. No?
