TOPIC: Relative Rarity of 2018 C/U/R Onyx Set

Relative Rarity of 2018 C/U/R Onyx Set 6 years 4 months ago #1

I'm curious whether there will be a lot fewer C/U/R Onyx sets this year, now that there is a third ordering option that gives you 34 PYPs with no C/U/R Onyx Set. I'd think that two PYPs have a significantly higher value (at least double) at this point than a C/U/R Onyx set. Of course that might be offset somewhat by another increase in token purchases (it sounds like we're on a record setting pace so far).

For those that are doing the $8K packages, how many of you are going with the third option that doesn't include a C/U/R Onyx Set?

If there were a fourth option, giving you the complete 20 UR token set in ONYX, plus 18 PYPs instead of 16 PYPs and the C/U/R Onyx set, how many people would choose that? I'd guess most of the $8K auctions we're seeing would go with that option.

I chose the extra PyPs, and would do so if it was an option with the 8K onyx pack.

This would be the desired option.

I think you're right that the 4th option you propose would be the most desirable one for auction purposes, at least for this year it looks like the 20 ONYX tokens fetched more than 16 PyPs would.

A wily auctioneer could also just make one of the items to be auctioned:

Your choice: 2 PyPs or a complete ONYX set

In that case.

If I did an 8k (never have... yet) I would prefer that. Don't care about Onyx C/UC/R at all. For URs I only care slightly. But all 20 is more appealing than 16 of my choice.

It's always close for me to go between the 2.

I agree, if there was an option to have 18 pyp and all 20 onyx that would be the most likely purchase for me.

I'd have mixed feelings about option #4 being offered. I think it would be preferable for many token buyers, and it probably costs True Dungeon a lot less to send two PYPs than a complete ONYX C/U/R set.

And on the other hand, as an ONYX C/U/R set collector, it would make it a lot harder for me to get one (or more) each year. ;)

Probably just me, but I’d always opt for one Onyx C/UC/R set for my collection. I don’t think I’d go for more.

Easy decision if doing an auction.

Each UR is about $100 average.

32 UR with C/U/R Onyx Set
34 UR without C/U/R Onyx Set
36 UR with C/U/R Onyx Set

36 UR is currently the best option.

Now, a 38 UR without C/U/R Set would be the better.

I suspect if someone were to do an auction after GENCON, the 34 UR PYPs with no ONYX tokens would be the best choice, because I'd bet those PYPs might sell for $125 or more, to people trying to get the Silver Nugget or first Kilt token right before they go out of print and skyrocket.

I was not expecting that third option when i went to order tokens...and i double-triple-quadruple checked for a way to do your proposed option 4, because it is so much better than any other option (at least this year).

The UR set this year is so strong and diverse that i wouldnt worry about a shortage of ONYX sets. Those 20 UR ONYX and c/uc/r is better than 18 PYP. But next year? I will drop that c/uc/r set in an instant for 2 more PYPs (heck, i would do it for only 1 PYP), and i already know i wont be getting the 20 ONYX URs because of how many gold nuggets and kilts myself and others will be getting in 2019.
this is not a signature.

I must have missed option 3. :( Oh, well. Maybe next year.
