Emerald Auctions

The VeeFriends 2 auctions for the new Emerald Spectaculars ended yesterday. While all of the results are not in yet, most are and I think the results will surprise some folks. Someone in Discord mentioned that these results serve as a de facto ranking of VeeFriends characters. This seems as good a theory as any so let's take a look at the results.

I've sorted all of the characters based upon hammer price. I've included the top 50 prices. All of this data is available in Tableau -- LINK HERE.

The first two are no surprise -- everyone love the Black Cat and Rare Robot. Three Horned Harpik is in the third spot at about half the price as the top two. Emapthy Elephant is usually considered a top 5 character but it was 7th in the auction. As we round out the top 15, where is Patient Pig? We have to go all the way down to 38th to find him. This, I think, is shocking. It was the first character Gary drew in the series and already has a song and video. Either the rankings are changing or someone picked up a terrific bargain at 7.35ETH.

Do you see any surprises on the list?

Emerald Flips Pearl

Yesterday in the VeeFriends Discord, Gary gave out a clue. Many players interpreted this as meaning these were these are the only frames that will be eligible to burn for a new VeeFriends 2 character. 

This made the players who had built up sets of five frames that were not on this list upset. I personally don't believe this is an exhaustive list of what will be burnable but really only Gary knows that.

This had an immediate impact on the market for Book Games tokens. Notably missing from the list were Pearl and Neon -- two rare frames. Now the current floor for Pearl is about 0.64ETH while the floor for Emerald is about 0.73ETH.

I think this is an opportunity to buy Pearl which has about 25% less supply than Emerald. What do you think?
