Chapter 257 Crazy bidding on Whitebeard’s entire series of cards
The second part officially began, and there were some things in it that even Hades found interesting.
The stand rises, this time with only one item.
A stack of small metal cards, about the size of a palm, not many, just a few.
Everyone present is familiar with it.
It is the character card in the card game that is now popular all over the world.
The average character has countless cards, and the quality of the cards will be lower.
The stronger the character represented and the greater the influence, the higher the quality of the card. It is made of special metal and is difficult to damage even if it is hit by fire.
In particular, in addition to the characters, the cards also have brief descriptions of related abilities, and the strength of the representative strong ones is expressed in the form of combat power values.
According to Paradise Card Company, the card with the highest combat power is Rocks D. Jiback, the leader of the unprecedented evil legion that created the Rocks Pirates’ supremacy.
The combat power value is high.
There are only ten copies in the entire world.
And he promised to spend one billion beli to recover one.
Such behavior completely shocked the whole world.
The value of precious cards in the entire world card market has been rising steadily, from being just toys among children to becoming rare collectibles.
And it is not only popular in the children's world, but also in the adult world, especially among the pirate community.
At the same time, the combat power of the cards is of great reference value in a sense.
It is said that there is a dedicated analysis team behind the determination of the combat power values of these powerful men.
At the same time, in order to make the classification of characters in the sea more hierarchical, each character card is also described with ten stars as the highest and one star as the lowest.
The reference of star rating is more comprehensive, including not only strength, but also influence, influence and other factors.
Whether it is the star rating or the division of combat power value, in a sense, it has more reference value than the navy's bounty.
Now some bounty hunters have abandoned their bounty orders and replaced them with card information encyclopedias that are more convenient and contain more information.
It records a large amount of card information, including the latest bounty amount for pirates.
It's simply not too convenient.
There's even a hunter-specific version.
The projection is turned on, and card information appears on it.
The familiar figure made most people's eyes fall on "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate.
There is no doubt that these cards are all about Newgate's precious cards.
Even Newgate was a little surprised. The auction items this time were actually related to him.
Auctioneer Aaron's high-pitched voice sounded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this auction is for the entire series of cards about the great pirate Whitebeard!"
"I don't know which guy is so lucky to have collected all the cards in the Whitebeard series, but for some reason, the owner has no choice but to sell it!"
The one-star card "Young" Edward Newgate was specially issued and there are only one thousand copies in the world.
The picture is a delicately hand-painted figure of the young Newgate sailing out to sea alone on a boat. His eyes are full of longing for the future, and behind him is his impoverished hometown.
There are a total of 10,000 three-star card "Lone Pirate" Edward Newgate in the world.
This is young Newgate who became a pirate, but has not yet joined the Rocks Pirates.
There are only 5,000 four-star cards of "Ordinary Member of the Rocks Pirates" Edward Newgate in the world.
As the name suggests, it represents Edward Newgate, who just joined the Rocks Pirates.
The five-star card "Stranger" Edward Newgate has only one thousand copies in the world.
At this time, Newgate was already the shining supernova of the Rocks Pirates.
Six-star card "Shocker" Edward Newgate, 500 copies issued worldwide.
At this time, Newgate was already the core cadre of the Rocks Pirates and gained the powerful ability of the Shock Fruit.
Seven Star Card "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate. Two hundred copies were issued worldwide.
Newgate officially received the title "Whitebeard" and had greater influence.
The eight-star card "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate. After many years of adulthood, Newgate became more powerful and became the captain of the Rocks Pirates. One hundred copies were issued worldwide.
This officially ends, there are seven cards in total.
In the follow-up calculated by Hades, when the Whitebeard Pirates grow up, another eight-star card will be issued.
Star rating is composed of many factors such as strength, power, influence, etc.
After establishing the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard was actually not as good as Whitebeard, who was at his peak during the Rocks Pirates period, in terms of influence and other comprehensive data.
When Whitebeard becomes a legendary pirate, the nine-star "Legendary Pirate" Whitebeard Edward Newgate will be released.
As for what happens next, Hades hasn't thought about it yet. Who knows how the situation will change in the future.
The more powerful the pirates are, the smaller the number of cards they issue. Some one-star cards have at least tens to millions of them, and there may be tens of millions of them, just to ensure their rarity.
"Gu la la la! I really miss it a little bit."
Seeing himself as a child, Whitebeard felt a little emotional and nostalgic in his heart. He didn't know where the Paradise Card Company found his childhood appearance.
The drawings look exactly the same, not to say 100%, but 90% similar.
Looking at these cards, one seems to be witnessing Newgate's growth experience. He went out to sea when he was young and got to where he is now step by step.
"The complete Whitebeard series of cards, seven in total, with a starting price of 1 Bailey! The auction has officially begun!"
Auctioneer Aaron raised his hand and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone made an offer.
"One hundred million Baileys!"
Before even a reply could be heard, a voice interrupted him completely.
"Twenty million Baileys!"
Everyone was shocked, not only the many pirates present, but also the people watching the live broadcast couldn't believe it.
The value of the seven cards was simply beyond most people's expectations.
"What's wrong with this world?"
"It's so crazy!"
Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths opened and they were speechless.
Even Paradise Card Company, which issued the cards, publicly announced that it would use one billion Baileys to recover a ten-star Rocks as a prelude to a wave of collectible cards.
However, many people did not take it seriously, and even thought it was just a self-directed stunt.
It is only now, with the world watching, that the wave of madness in this card market has really started.
There's always someone who can see the value in these cards, especially in a set about strong players.
Precious cards, once issued, will not be reissued.
The quantity is not static, it will become less and less.
Including sinking to the bottom of the sea, being damaged, etc.
That is, they become more valuable over time.
Moreover, many of the power leaders who bid are themselves collectors.
The value of these cards is no less than those antique treasures.
Different from those ordinary cards, all the cards about Whitebeard are limited edition rare cards made of precious metals.
More importantly, they are optimistic about Whitebeard's potential and Whitebeard's future.
What gives them value is Whitebeard himself.
If it were ordinary pirates, their cards would have no value at all.
"Hey, Hades! The value of these cards is almost comparable to my head."
As the person involved, Whitebeard was no less surprised than the person involved, but this was an honor for him.
A symbol of identity, strength and influence.
The auction bidding has risen to 970 million beli, and is still rising, and Newgate's current bounty is only 1.2 billion beri.
However, looking at such a scene, Newgate felt a little strange.
"Haha! Newgate, I don't think this is a bad thing. If you want to blame it, blame the Navy. Your bounty hasn't been increased for a long time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem to increase it to five or six billion."
Hades replied with a smile, looking at the interesting bidding at the auction.
To be honest, such a price was beyond his expectation.
