Card Value

The Card Value or the card price of a card is a term used to describe the value which a particular card has on the free market. This is not to be confused with the Sales price of a card, which is the price of a card when selling it back to the game.

Every card which can be traded has a Card Value. However, the term is generally only used with Ultra Rare cards, and their evolved equivalents when describing their market value or price. The reason for this stems from the general implications of the current game market.

Significance
The main currency of the game market is either Energy Drinks or Power Potions, due to their relative rarity and usefulness in the game. Because of this, they are often used to barter and trade for cards in the game. However, the rarity of these potions combined with their essential in-game function poses a problem when trading for cards which are especially rare.

Cards such as Flaming Werewolf and Wandering Geryon each have a value of approximately 400 potions, at the time of writing, due their rarity and demand in the game. However, because of the scarcity and function of potions, both Energy Drinks and Power Potions, it is rarely practical to possess 400 potions in one's own inventory at one time. Because of this, cards such as Flaming Werewolf are usually not exchanged purely for potions. Instead, Ultra Rare cards like Flaming Werewolf are exchanged for other cards whose sum card value is equivalent.

In effect, the Card Value of a card becomes more of a theoretical number than a tangible one. In essence, what the Card Value implies is that a particular card is worth a particular amount of potions, should those potions be on hand. But because it is rare for anyone to possess enough potions to meet the full value of a card of extreme rarity, that card's price and value becomes an imaginary number.

In the case of Flaming Werewolf, rather than saying that its Card Value is 400 potions, one would say that its Card Value is simply 400, without any kind of currency or unit attached to it.
