I've been collecting @steemmonsters cards over on my @lukes.random account, and it reminds me of my childhood days collecting basketball cards. Collecting has always been fun for me because you get to show off something you think is special.
Have you seen the latest gold cards? Here's my current collection:
Here are my Epics (still missing Swamp Thing and Defender of Truth, message me on Discord if you'd like to trade):
Update: Big thanks to @mattclarke and @oliverschmid who gifted me the two epic cards I was still looking to collect. Wow! Thank you!
I only have 3 Legendary cards so far:
You can see my full set using the Steem Monsters explorer.
I started thinking... Am I addicted to this? I enjoy buying a pack here or there as a way to destress after a long day of work. Or is that just my excuse? Looking through my wallet, it's clear I'm spending some real money on it:

So that got me thinking, who is more addicted then I am? As you may know, I really like doing statistical reports like the Exchange Transfer Report and the Witness Engagement Report. I thought it's about time for a Steem Monsters Addiction report. :)
So, I wrote up some PHP tonight to query the STEEM blockchain and figure some things out. Here's what I found:

It seems like the Dragon cards are slightly more rare, which is interesting.
Well, if you're a Steem Monsters geek, hopefully you found this as interesting as I did. I probably should have been working on something more important tonight, but this was more fun.
Life needs to have more fun now and again, don't you think?
Maybe I'll run this report in the future once in a while whenever I get curious.
