NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward?

You joined Dibbs as well and nothing wrong with another hobby within a hobby if you are interested in fractional collecting. If you are in it just to make money, flip, and for the gambling aspect of it, then roll with it and when the easy money dries up you (and I) are going to be left with little option but to move on. I think many of us long time physical card collectors are at that crossroads now. I’m priced out, by choice, from most wax and hobby boxes. I buy mostly vintage singles now but even those are starting to look unappealing.

Not trying to argue with you at all but I was simply pointing out that while they are targeting collectors, you currently don’t meet their definition. I do today, but likely won’t soon if they keep raising the moment count limits or require something like a challenge to be completed. Cheers and hopefully we end up with a TS platform that gets better for all.

Because they're not "targeting collectors."

They are leveraging tactics that they have deemed the best tactic to maximize their revenue. Which means they have to maximize the window that their platform is still relevant. Which means forcing people to stay in the "collection" game if they want to be in the "profit" game.
