I was checking some of my old posts about Steem Monsters.

It's always fun to look back at a thought process and how you felt about something when it wasn't clear what it would become.

[This is what I thought in June 2018](https://steemit.com/life/@exyle/my-steem-monster-investment-epic-gold-foil-cards-buying-cards-vs-buying-packs).

I'm glad I believed it! Because has this game taken off!

I bought a lot of cards back then and focused on Gold Foils mostly.

This is probably one of the best deals I made.

Admittedly 90 STEEM back then was worth way more then it is today ($144)!

But Still...90 STEEM today is only $11,70 and these cards have gone up a lot in dollar value. *(Also noticed some of them have higher levels. I didn't even realize that when I bought them at the time)*.

This is part of the market today.

Another example of cards retaining value are these Gold Epics:

I bought those for 142 STEEM or $227.

142 STEEM is now $18,50. But these cards have all gone up in dollar value.

This is the market today.

My biggest regret in my thought process was underestimating the Alpha common cards. 

I remember those going for less than 2 cents. And full alpha sets even cheaper. And look at them now. 

Insane prices.

This is the problem with opportunities, they never last long.

And they usually never ever come back.

I'm very happy with the cards that I bought but...

I should have bought more Steem Monsters Cards......
