Back then we were all new to the digital trading card paradigm, though some of us have been playing the games since Topps introduced Bunt in 2012. \u00a0Most players quickly discovered that not every card in the game was created equal, there were a lot of factors that determined value of any given single. \u00a0Besides the obvious scarcity of any given card, the single most determining factor for value is who\u2019s on the card itself. Certain performers are just in higher demand than others, and players will pay a premium for the \u201celite\u201d wrestlers in the game. \u00a0Just as there are top-of-the-card, mid-card and jobbers in the real WWE, there are the same tiers in this game.<\/p>\n<p>What I wanted to do back in 2016 was objectively determine which in-game performers were the most popular across the board, and thus who\u2019s more likely to have a higher in-game value. \u00a0I\u2019ve run this survey each year of the game and I think we\u2019ve got a really good understanding of who is really \u201cin the elite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Survey #2 Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before we get to the results of the 3rd survey, check out the results of the 2nd survey that finished out 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/07\/31\/digital-dabblings-27-who-are-the-elite\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, on with the show. \u00a0I\u2019ve listed the top 10 or so vote getters for each individual category alongside the percentage of the votes they got for that category. \u00a0Remember you can vote for multiple individuals within each category, and some categories just aren\u2019t as popular as others, so I didn\u2019t make it mandatory to vote for them.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2872958364\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Current Roster Males<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table>\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"51\" \/>\n<col width=\"142\" \/>\n<col width=\"21\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>Rank<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Performer<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>%<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>1<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>AJ Styles<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>85<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>2<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Finn Balor<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>67<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>3<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Seth Rollins<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>62<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>4<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Undertaker<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>52<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>5<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Roman Reigns<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>48<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>6<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Daniel Bryan<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>35<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>7<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Miz<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>33<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>8<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Dean Ambrose<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>29<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>9<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>John Cena<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>29<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>10<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>Kevin Owens<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div>29<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The top 3 Males remained exactly the same for the second year in a row, and AJ has now topped all 3 years of the survey. \u00a0He was also the #1 vote-getter overall for the 2nd time in 3 years.

I suspect they will all make heavy waves in the 2019 survey, however, early polling doesn\u2019t necessarily bear this hypothesis out quite yet. \u00a0Remember, if you want your say, hit up the new 2019 poll (link is at the top).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Do You Determine How Much a Card is Worth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, here\u2019s a list of the factors that I feel make up how much a card is really worth, in order of importance.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What\u2019s It Actually Selling For &#8211; There are entire businesses that make nice profits buying and selling digital trading cards, and SLAM is amongst the most popular of all the brands for secondary market sales. \u00a0Whether it\u2019s through private-party sales through a website or facebook group, or through eBay, you can pretty much determine the actual sales value of a card given enough data. It does get a bit trickier with the lowest of the low CC cards simply because there aren\u2019t enough of them to track sales on. \u00a0That said, you can guesstimate values based on similar cards of the same performer. On one level it\u2019s nice because you can slot new sets into certain price ranges based on previous sales data. Card than have a hard limit of 1000 CC or less usually sell for $2-4 apiece, while anything over 1000 CC is $1-2 at best. Under 500 CC and you start getting into higher pricing.<\/li>\n<li>Who\u2019s On the Card &#8211; Women are more popular and valuable than men. \u00a0Active performers are usually more valuable than legends. Announcers\/Authority\/Officials are basically worthless unless they\u2019re Renee Young or Paige. \u00a0You would think that the higher the performer is on WWE\u2019s actual card the more popular they\u2019d be within game, but that\u2019s not necessarily the case. While title wins will definitely give a slight bump in popularity, that may not translate into what we used to call \u201chobby love\u201d, that is secondary market value and popularity. \u00a0Kofi Kingston is a perfect example of this paradigm in action, he\u2019s the current WWE Heavyweight Champion and had a great emotional showing at Wrestlemania, but that didn\u2019t really translate into his cards selling any higher than they did prior to the show.<\/li>\n<li>Card Count (CC) &#8211; Basically how many copies of this card are there in the game. \u00a0OBVIOUSLY lower CC cards (100 and lower) have much more value than higher CC cards or cards that don\u2019t even list a CC (Open Editions or OE). \u00a0The lower the CC, the rarer the card is and the more valuable it will be. If it\u2019s not a variant, i.e. it\u2019s a single-edition card, that value is even greater.<\/li>\n<li>What Set It\u2019s From &#8211; Certain sets are just more valuable than others. \u00a0LOW CC and limited sets are the top tier, while weekly\/marathons are middle of the road. \u00a0Open Edition variants are worthless. Awards are more popular than in-pack cards.<\/li>\n<li>Was it Paywalled &#8211; Cards that come in packs that are only available for purchase with diamonds are considered \u201cPaywalled\u201d meaning you have to pay cash money to obtain them out of packs. \u00a0Prior to the introduction of diamonds certain cards were only available with a cash purchase, those are also Paywalls.<\/li>\n<li>How Difficult Is\/Was It to Acquire &#8211; These days there are packs that are available for both coin and diamond purchase. \u00a0The diamond packs have obviously better odds, or guarantee an insert pull. The insert ratio has a lot to do with the value of the card. \u00a0Obviously a card that is a 1:300 insert ratio is worth much more than a card with a 1:30 insert ratio all other things being equal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t forget you can find me in game at GRENDELSEN, and I\u2019m always happy to trade or answer any questions you might have.\u00a0 Leave questions or concerns here and I\u2019ll see you next time.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>My Collecting Blog \u2013<a href=\"http:\/\/budgetscd.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/budgetscd.blogspot.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1503367275849000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE4sa6AJcNl2_fcQxwy6FlIjbpXmw\">The Budget Collector<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Daily WiLL \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/willaday.blogspot.com\/\">http:\/\/willaday.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK\u2019S ARTICLE:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/05\/08\/digital-dabblings-33-post-wrestlemania\/\">DIGITAL DABBLINGS #33 \u2013 Post WrestleMania!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4214045607\"><div id=\"pwtor-3648406468\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Elite Survey #3 Results!
