BUYING
REDEMPTION CARDS
Starter Decks and Booster Packs
The best place I have found to purchase Redemption starter decks and booster
packs is from Cactus Game
Design.
Their prices are good if you buy boosters by
the box. Shipping is free with a minimum order of $30. Also, they are very quick
at processing orders. I usually get my orders about 5 working days from the
time I place the order.
Single Cards
If you only have a few cards you need to complete your
collection, or to complete a powerful deck, I usually recommend trading to get what you
want. When that
isn't possible, Three Lions sells single cards (see Links
page). They send mint-condition cards.
Value
of Single Cards
Like
all collectibles, Redemption cards have value to those that want them.
Their value is determined by simple rules of supply and demand.
Supply
of Redemption cards (number printed, probability of getting a specific
card, etc.)
DEMAND
Due to demand, a card
that is desired by many people (like the Falling Away card, which can be used in
any deck) is going to be worth more than a card that only certain players want
(like Laughter, which is desired by some people who use Blue in their
deck). Desirability (demand) is difficult to determine, and often changes after
the release of a new expansion set, when some cards become more important
in deck construction (and thus more desirable), and other cards become less important.
Each new set produces additional benefits and drawbacks to using any
card.
