RE: Splintered Factions

Okay, that's a fair point. I guess I should have said that the old cards haven't retained their value. I'm not really in the mood to do all the math, but I would guess that while everything has dropped in value, the older cards have likely dropped further in value. For example. I have a Byzantine Kitty that I probably could have gotten a fair price for at the height of the bull. However now the value is maybe $100. I'm sure it would sell at that price, but I think because it is an older card the value is even less. My viewpoint is the value of cards across the board may have dropped 50 to 70 percent simply due to the long bear market but I feel like older cards have dropped an additional 10 to 20 percent beyond that due to their not being as much of a use case.

I'll have to look into the packs. I've got about 100 of them. I just can't bring myself to take that loss.

No judgement at all. Like I said, I think the way they sold it to early investors was wrong. I still enjoy playing parts of the game, and people who came to Splinterlands with that in mind are likely happy. Plus they might earn a bit on top, so they are likely more than happy. However, we were sold this as a game and an investment. The investment piece hasn't really panned out, so it's only natural we would be disappointed. Thankfully, they have backed off that narrative, but it doesn't make it any easier for folks like me, or some of the other people who were heavily invested that I know have gotten completely out now.
