than 10 days at this point, and collectors have come back to the app in droves!\u00a0 Besides a massive amount of new cards entering the game, older cards from 2016 to 2021 (or the first era) are still extremely popular and with players being able to trade and sell again the market is wide open.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Before we take a look at the newest sets available, let\u2019s look and see how cards are selling on the aftermarket.\u00a0 Glancing at the latest listings I see some folks asking for big money for older cards, like a 2020 8 performer booklet that is 15cc with an asking price of $600.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2025\/02\/booklet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

it\u2019s a great card, but not for $600.\u00a0 I would venture it\u2019ll sell for about a 3rd of that.\u00a0 But that\u2019s just a guess.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of places to get your sets filled in for cheap, and everything new is readily available.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great place to go if you missed a daily card, or you just can\u2019t get that last one on the checklist to get an award.<\/p>\n<p>Before we drop into the new set update, I want to look at the older stuff and how it\u2019s selling.<\/p>\n<p>So far the top 20 single sales of Slam cards has a lot of the usual faces, but also some newer performers like Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.\u00a0 Interestingly, it\u2019s very clear that the high end economy has not yet bounced back completely.\u00a0 The last time I ran a top 20 list, the total sales for those 20 cards was almost $4,500.\u00a0 Today it\u2019s barely $2,400.\u00a0 Last time every card sold for more than $100.\u00a0 Today only the top 8.\u00a0 So there is a way to go before the economy is again robust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2025\/02\/Rock.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

them because the pricing is too volatile.\u00a0 For example, the card that would have made it (a Legendary dual sig of Cody Rhodes and the Rock) sold for $64 at 22 CC.\u00a0 That same card is listed right now for a Buy it now (BIN) of $15 and the CC is well above 200.\u00a0 Many of the lower CC 2025 cards have sold, but because the CCs are super-inflated currently, it\u2019s hard to determine what their value will be over time.\u00a0 Probably not very high.<\/p>\n<h3>The State of the App<\/h3>\n<p>Currently the major gripe I hear from other collectors is that the CCs are way too damn high.\u00a0 They\u2019re not wrong.\u00a0 The previous iteration of the app had limits on many of the high-end Legendary and Iconic cards.\u00a0 So far, nothing in 2025 has had a CC limit.\u00a0 Thus Legendary cards from the still available Royal Rumble set are now in the 200CC and higher range.\u00a0 For a Legendary.\u00a0 There are Iconic cards numbering over 1000CC.\u00a0 To say that the current batch of cards will never be worth as much as older cards is a vast understatement.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that as Topps introduces more sets we\u2019ll start to see limitations.\u00a0 So far we\u2019ve only had just a few sets in 2025, so let\u2019s take a quick look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event Sets<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full Throttle &#8211; One Variation. 4 Cards 1 Award.<\/li>\n<li>All

haven\u2019t really seen in Slam before.\u00a0 It\u2019s also very confusing.\u00a0 Basically you have to buy lots of packs of Forge cards, which yield some basic building blocks.\u00a0 You then decide which cards to \u201cburn\u201d for tokens.\u00a0 Once you have tokens you can then upgrade the other cards you have.\u00a0 Each card has three levels of upgrades and with each upgrade you get one of 4 random \u201ctraits\u201d.\u00a0 Once you have them all leveled up completely (which takes multiple tokens) you can then trade the results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a

DDP, Dusty Rhodes, Victoria and Jey Uso.\u00a0 If you can get the specific cards from them, then you get a special Thea Hall award.\u00a0 If you can get all 4 Thea Hall rewards you get a bonus shiny award.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a lot of work and a coin suckage.\u00a0 That said, you can forge some really low CC cards.\u00a0 I currently have several under 10cc and not gaining new copies very quickly. \u00a0 Opinions on the set are all over the spectrum so we\u2019ll see how it goes.\u00a0 Player collectors sure are in a bind though.\u00a0 There are at least 64 variations of each of the 30 cards.<\/p>\n<p>The associated event can be replayed multiple times too, which is good because the first tier gives you 500 tokens to upgrade your cards.\u00a0 I\u2019ve already replayed it 5 times.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Rumble is later today.\u00a0 Topps is doing some sort of watch party like they have in years past.\u00a0 Haven\u2019t heard about their traditional In-App Rumble, which isn\u2019t a bad thing.\u00a0 Seems like they\u2019re specifically muted about their offerings this time, I can\u2019t imagine they didn\u2019t have enough time to put something together, more I would think they\u2019re taking a smaller approach this time around to gauge fan interest.<\/p>\n<p>Which is still pretty darn high.<\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8211; my pick is Cena to win the Rumble, but I see that Punk is creeping up the betting odds, so not surprised if he wins.<\/p>\n<p>See ya in a few weeks, will be back to recap all the Royal Rumble releases and results and then preview Elimination Chamber for March!<\/p>\n<p>Remember, I\u2019m GRENDELSEN in the app if you wanna trade!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>My Collecting Blog &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/budgetscd.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"
