Mixed Card Colour Trading

[European Chris]

I'm inclined to leave it to market forces and ignore these rigid rules. They wouldn't cope with any card inflation, uless there is a monthy meeting between tweleve perplexonomists who decide on new rates for everyone. But that's just a poor idea.

It's an idea, but in my experience (i.e. having bought 11 packs without any silver cards) silver cards are considerably rarer than half as rare as green cards, say.

I think that instead of a direct Red=1 value, a better trading value would be to look at the Perplex City Points each card is worth. I don't have my cards right now, but trading 3 reds totalling 27 points (for example) for 1 yellow (or whatever) totalling 27 points is a pretty good idea.

Since PXC Points are our only known VALUE of the cards, this seems like the way to go. However, this is just a general guide. There are some cards that I would stack trades for if someone didn't have a dupe. I particularly want the "Harmony" card and might even trade for more than its value.

Interesting. I agree that to use the points system I mentioned exclusively would be wrong, but I still think that as a simple (as opposed to PC points) starting point for any exchange, its a good idea.

But I mainly started this thread to hear other peoples views, so its all group.

On a slightly different note, I would be interested in anyone looking at the card distribution so far. Someone should start a database of all cards received from 0.5 packets.

As far as PC points go, it seems that each group of four cards has a higher score than the last, by intervals of one point. However, there do appear to be some exceptions, such as the one that should, according to the pattern, be worth 30 points , but it says 20.
