The first place to start is to get the Deluxe Factory Set from Cactus Game Design for $275.  This includes: This is a "complete" set of every Redemption card printed, up through the Warriors Expansion. This set includes all the Limited Edition (with promos), Prophets, Women and Warriors cards. The Deluxe Factory Set also includes a complete set of all 130 Faith of Our Fathers and 120 Rock of Ages cards.

So you would have to get a complete set of Apostles, Patriarchs, Kings, Priests, TxP & Disciples as well as the C/D, E/F, G/H starter deck.  The errors and the newer promos would also not be included.

The Apostles & Patriarch sets won't be hard to acquire or very expensive due to the TxP & Disciple sets. Maybe around $20-$30 a piece.
The E/F & G/H starter decks are $10 at the most, but could easily get them for $5 or cheaper.
The promos wouldn't be that hard either, the easiest way to get most of them is just attend a State, Regional & National tournament, since you get each of the promos at those tournaments.

The most expensive things would be the C/D starter deck (probably $20), the Women's errors (around $90 or so), and the other out of print ones (King David, King Solomon, Caleb & Joshua) (Probably around $40 for all of those)

I have a complete set in one box. All the cards are sleeved and categorized based on what set they were released in. I would probably say the set would retail for over $2000, but I would probably take around $1000 for it. Shipping will be a bear with the set though so it might be worth the trip to southwest Ohio.

The problem comes in when you want to include all the errors. While we've recently learned that there are no-number purple starter deck cards and Faith of Our Fathers errors with a white back, as well as white angel errors, I only know of one of each. In addition, there could very easily be other errors that we haven't found yet!

I have a complete set...I would probably take around $1000 for it.

Thanks for giving a definite answer after our guesses.  Out of curiosity, where did I go wrong on my estimations that added the extra $200?

Mark, your estimates all looked pretty accurate. The only exception I believe is that you were way off in the promo category. You listed all tournament promos @ $50. You can't even get a Daniel + Goliath for that price, much less all the rest. I don't know that you were $200 off there but I imagine that is the bulk of the difference. The price you gave for special promos is also probably a little low also considering some of those are the hardest to find cards in the game.

It's still a great reminder to have a game where every card in the ccg is attainable for a cool grand, while just one of my tier 1 decks for another ccg costs over a grand alone. :\

I think it has more to do with supply and demand.  In other CCG's, there are far more players who create a much larger demand for cards.  This is one of the advantages of Redemption.  (You could make the argument that CCGs like MTG, the "four per deck" rule also increases demand).

MTG Sells starter decks and packs for around the same price redemption does. They keep demand up a little with set rotation, but most of the high costs are demand related. MTG doesn't price individual cards, the market does.

That is true...the ban hammer would be out in no time!
