Cake Gold Cards....

trying to get some opinions on cake gold cards. I have some "rare" (thats what they call them) gold cards from 2006 and 2007 in my collection. They now have "the exchange" where you can buy and sell these cards just like a stock exchange. One of the cards I have can fetch almost $100 (seriously) and the thing im wondering is what makes it so valuable? I understand supply and demand comes into play here but what can someone do with this $100 gold card? thats the part I don't understand. Someone enlighten me please. Will these continue to rise in value???

Hi Bryan.
I just looked on the Cakepoker Exchange.
Your right! The value of your card is determined by supply and demand.
If you still have a card from the 2006,2007 series,then I'm guessing you might have a 9,10 or J of any suit.
If you have played on Cake since those years,then you know players can enter tournaments by using those Gold Cards as an entry fee.
Players who play at the higher levels,can also can also cash in a whole deck of 52 cards for many thousands.So if a certain player is missing,say a "10 of Diamonds 2006 series" from they're collection of Gold Cards,then they might be willing to pay a certain price to obtain that particular card.
Here is a link to the "Trends" section of the exchange.If you enter the card that you are holding into the "select card box",it will show you what the last price was paid for that card.
If you wish to sell that card,then click on the "Sell" tab,and it will show you how much players are willing to pay for that card.
(IE) At this moment someone is willing to pay $150 for the 10 of diamonds 2006 series.
As for your card increasing in value,then I would imaging it will.
Try checking it out every few weeks,to see!
Here's the link.Happy trading.

I have a Cake account and have accumulated a few cards but
never seem to get one above a 5 but I only play micro stakes so
that might be the reason

I too am struggling to see why any card could be worth $100
but well gone

I think they only have this value while they can be used to
register in a tourney so I would be careful that it doesnt suddenly
drop down to a more normal level

Must admit if it was me I would be thinking its $100 for free and
taking it

In any case well done and a merry christmas to you

Fortunately I don't need the $100 right now and am more willing to hold on to it if there is a chance it will continue to rise in value. I now understand that someone might actually need one of my gold cards to complete a set which is worth $52,000 if u can do it. thanks for the reply

yes in my account you have match and win there you can see what cards you need for big money
