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 #14
Steem Monsters Cards Revealed
Rexxie - $0.06
Giant Roc - $0.04
Feral Spirit - $0.04
Elven Cutthroat - $0.28
Pit Orge [RARE] - $0.09
Current Value [USD]
Spent - $28
Current Market Value - $8.79
Balance - $19.21 [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: Elven Cutthroat
Highest Priced Card Revealed in this Series: Silvershield Knight [GOLD]
Conclusion: It's funny how we rate the neutrals more than the rares in this game, but as you can use them in any splinter it totally makes sense. I love that commons can be $0.24 :-D
Giveaway Info:-

What is the prize?
I'll be offering a Steem Monster Alpha Card one level lower than the highest rarity card I reveal.

etc...

Yeah, I know right. But they are common and are easy to find in packs.
A common rarity, that is a rare :)
The neutrals have an incredible amount of "essential-ness" in various team builds, that's why they're valued the way that they are.
Also, there going to be in far more demand, as you'll need more of these to level a card up; and let's not forget there's still.... hundreds of thousands of booster packs containing them still waiting to be opened.
Yeah, cash in while you can :-D Although I suspect they will be a hot item for a long time to come. 505 needed to level up :-P

Dang *66% negative ROI. Makes me wonder how many mavericks have high loss ratio.
Alphas had a better drop rate calculated at positive roi , betas not so much.
Realistically, I just need a few legendaries and/or RARE+ golds and I'd be ROI positive. :-) My time will come :-D

Yep, much cheaper to buy off the market right now. Will be interesting to see what happens to prices for common and rares once the tourneys start.
