Waka Spiritblade was recently release for sale with a price tag of 5000 SPS + 500 vouchers and subsequently sold out within 45 seconds.
At the time of the sale the value of SPS ($0.13) and vouchers ($2.15) put the cost of one card at about $1755.
So within 45 seconds over $850,000 in total was paid to secure one of these rare and exclusive cards, and I wanted to know by who.
So I looked into the transaction on the block chain to find out.
Interesting Stats
5 different accounts made 19 attempts to purchase cards before the sale had started.
The earliest attempt was 3 minutes 42 seconds before the sale started from neoxian.
Sale started at 17:00:00
makakka was the first person to successfully purchase a card and mattclarke was the last.

Out of 500 cards sold, 412 are still held by the original buyer.
74 have been sold or transferred to another account and 14 are listed for sale on the market.
Gold Foil Cards
Here is everyone who was lucky enough to get one of the 20 gold foil card.

Nicely organized information dump, quite interesting stats!
Thank you, and congrats on being fast enough to get 3 Waka cards! Unfortunately it looks like nateaguila took all the developer luck though with his GF pull.
Haha, he sure did, lucky him!
This is brilliant. Thanks so much for the legwork, and for the tag. Really interesting to see I got the last one.
Everybody who missed out, missed out because of me :)
You're a monster!! haha
Thank you for the kind words and don't feel too bad 😉, all the transactions I looked at after yours had already purchased one card and had come back to try get a second one too.

Wow This is amazing! I always love posts like these. Where'd you even go to collect all this information?
!PIZZA
Thanks.
Almost all transactions are posted to the block chain.
You can manually view all the transaction that are sent to the chain with sites like hiveblocks to get an idea of what it all looks like.
I just wrote a script in python to parse the info posted to the block chain and get a list of all transaction IDs and who made the transaction from people attempting to buy the Waka card.
But all the actual information is created and stored on splinterlands servers.
So then the script took that list of transaction IDs and had to check each with the splinterlands API to get back the transaction info.
That info tells if the transaction was successful or not.
If not successful it tells why (card not on sale, not enough sps/vouchers, sold out), otherwise if it was a successful transaction it gives the cards unique ID and if it's gold foil or not.
One you know a cards unique ID you can check info about it like who owns it currently, if its for sale or rent, delegate etc.
