Did anyone else keep their Defiance postcards?

I have a feeling they're going to be worth money someday.

mine is still in the defiance case

Cult classics and popular things are worth money... Don't bank on the Defiance postcard being worth money, a lot of people still think Assassin's Creed lunchboxes will be worth money.

The only games you should ever buy limited edition things on are the Dead Space numbered collectors editions, Borderlands numbered collectors editions, or anything that is a sure seller/popular cult following, and is ACTUALLY fairly limited.

If you ordered like the Tabula Rasa limited edition box set, that would be worth more than anything Defiance, unless you know, Trion closes it's doors. Anything that was a big deal and a total failure is worth something to someone down the road. So save your "Vote of Romney" election buttons. :P

The value of them will only go up when this game fails.

Just look at E.T. back on the 2600. It's quite possibly the worst video game of all time. Now a cartidge sells for at least $40 online. That's double it's inital value in only a 30+ year timespan.

If I sit on these postcards for a few decades then I've basically got my retirement covered.

Same here.

I collect postcards as a hobby. I loved getting them with this game.

I even make "new" postcards to mail to friends/family using the old-fashioned pen-pal system. (I even use a fountain pen!)

I have the TR collector edition. I loved the game, and the CE goodies.

Maybe if the show gets as popular as Star Trek TNG and develops a cult following they might . Otherwise I don't see them being worth to much, even if it became and as on going as Star Gate SG1. Defiance needs to reach TNG status.

Yeah Tabula Rasa certainly had a cult following, it was generally a good game too. The collectors editions for that are getting pricey, mostly because its RIIICHAARRDDD GAAARIIIIOOOTT's failure, and the guy is KIND OF a wad, so people get some sweet bitter satisfaction out of his failure lol.

Two dudes on a journey through the middle of the desert to a landfill?

This could be fear and loathing all over again. You supply the ride, I'll bring the briefcase full of drugs.

Yeah I'm sure that in 40 years people are gonna say "do you remember that crappy game back in 2013, I whish I could get my hands on the post card that 100,000 people had, I'll give six figures to get my hands on a mass produced piece of cardboard that came with a substandard game.

BlackThorn, you really don't understand collectables do you?

Google: Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle. (they made a few hundred thousand of this card. Yet, not many remain and there is a market)

All collectables of any type have value based on what the market will buy the collectable for. Over time, as a mass produced item becomes more rare due to destruction, then the value will go up.

Now, will these cards be worth something someday? Probably not, on their own. But, if you hit a Con where the cast are guests, getting them to sign them could make them worth more.

Truth is the weirdest stuff gets sold all the time. Some of it for prices which baffle me.
