Welcome to _Splinterlands Rewind_, in this series of topics we will look back at some of the key moments in Splinterlands short but exciting history.

 In our first installment of _Splinterlands Rewind_ we will take a look at the  _Open Sea_  auction that left one lucky Splinterlands player owning a _Max Level Gold Foil Selenia Sky_ of the Alpha variant.

# What is a Gold Foil Selenia Sky?
It's one of the most popular cards in the game known as Splinterlands. Its a member  of the Alpha and Beta collection with the Alpha edition being the more rare / sought after version. Selenia Sky is a member of the Dragon Splinter and the card itself is a Summoner (Summoners call on other monsters to fight for them in battle). 

At the time of the _Open Sea_  sale only three Selenia Sky Gold Summoners remained in the official Splinterlands markeplace for sale and they weren't cheap. Combined the remaining three would of cost a total of $27,000 USD.

The max level card sold for 8.4 ETH. At the time of the auction ending 8.4 ETH was worth somewhere close to $1400 USD. Today (5/22/2020) 8.4 ETH would be worth roughly $1710. 


The winning bidder was @michealb, some of the other top bidders were @neoxian, @otaru, @fw206, @cryptomancer  and someone with what looks to be a newly created OpenSea account with the name StalwartVersatileDalmatianOfWonder.

The winner of this auction ended up walking away with one of the best deals to date within Splinterlands short life span. To put this amazing deal in perspective a max level Alpha gold foil Selenia Sky needs three level 2 (entry level) alpha gold foils to combine to create a single max level Selenia Sky. If someone at this very moment (5/22/2020) decided they wanted a max level Selenia Sky it would cost a total of $8,698 USD.

 ##### <br>
<div class=pull-right>Selenia Sky is a famed Dragon summoner from Draykh-Nahka. Though she has no scales, the purest of the Fire Blood pumps through Selenia’s veins. Most of the flying Dragons allow her to ride them even though she is not an approved Gloridax Dragon Rider. Selenia has won more Mount Mox victories than any other summoner in the Splinterlands, and she knows she is the best.
