Splinterlands Rewind

Welcome to the second edition of Splinterlands Rewind, in this series we will look back at some of the key moments in Splinterlands short but exciting history.

In our first installment of Splinterlands Rewind we took a look at the Open Sea auction that left one lucky Splinterlands player owning a Max Level Gold Foil Selenia Sky of the Alpha variant for just $2579 USD.

Today we will take a look at .....

The First KickStarter

When the first kickstarter took place the Splinterlands game was called Steemmonsters and the kickstarter itself managed to get 274 backers who pledged $88,171.

The first kickstarter offered Boosters and exclusive cards that would only be available via the kickstarter itself. The higher the pledge, the greater the rewards.

Multiple levels of entry were possible. Lets take a look at some of the packages that were offered in the FIRST Steemmonsters (Now called Splinterlands) Kickstarter.

A Deeper Look

Now lets take a look and see if the value of the packages offered in the first Kickstarter has held, grown or floundered. We will do this by taking the $25 package and break down what its worth in today's market.

Today's total value of the $25 Kickstarter package is (Drum Roll) ....... $227 USD. No your eyes do not deceive you. That's a return of almost 10X. Alpha booster packs have been long out of print so the only way to purchase them is from a secondary seller and the cheapest that is currently (5/30/2020) available sells for $20.99 USD via the Steem-Engine exchange so getting 10 in a $25 Kickstarter package was a steal of a deal!
