In any card collecting game, the potential for the cards to increase in value is key to the game's long-term success. @SteemMonsters has solid gameplay, it is fast paced and the tournaments add a nice touch. The game is solid, but it is what they are doing with the cards that could really take this game built on the Steem Blockchain to the next level.
They have common cards, rare cards, epic cards and legendary. Some are gold variations, and then all of them can be leveled up. A single, level one card can run anywhere from seven cents to $140. A gold variation of The Peakrider is going for $700 right now.
Each card is a digital asset and is limited. There are more of some cards than others, but as more and more people start to play, people will invest in buying the cards they want to make a better deck. Some cards are limited to a couple of hundred and if they are leveled up, then some are taken off the market.
Having a finite supply of some of the top cards means that those that have them now, or acquire them in the near future could see them go up dramatically in price as more and more people start to play.
When I started playing two weeks ago, I got hooked and spent about $75 dollars in buying booster packs and leveling up my characters. I quickly learned that having leveled up cards will give you a big advantage. The next thing I learned is that buying the specific cards in the marketplace was the best value for leveling up the cards I wanted to improve. Especially at after level four.
The marketplace has thousands of cards for sale and at all different ranks. I've seen some of the top cards go up 10% since I started playing.
I think that Steem Monsters could really become a well liked and widely played game. When that happens, the people that have the early Alpha and Beta cards could see the value go way up. So to answer the question at the start of this blog... Will Steem Monster Cards Go Up In Value?... The answer is yes, especially if the game continues to grow.
