I wouldn’t be too sure, market should stabilize with these sitting between 40-50 unless they do a pack drop where people are undercutting. These won’t be sitting around 20. The moment is worth it, if each card is 40, then Conley is valued around 200 which makes sense for the current value of SS.

Plus add in the potential that he could be needed for LeBron, no guarantee but speculation adds value

What is the allure of "badges" and how/why does it increase value?

The Conley will be minted significantly higher than 10K, so not sure why it would be around $200.

It just acknowledges that a moment is the first moment, a rookie card, a rookies first game ever and was released during the players rookie year.

An example of why this matters. In baseball a players first card gets a 1st bowman print on it. Sometimes they forget to put the 1st bowman on the card and sells for consistently less than it would if the 1st bowman was on there. Even if people know these moments are 1st moment or rookies. The badge itself will add value.

Thank you, the "1st Bowman" analogy makes sense.

Only 1419 have completed the KD challenge so far. Either a lot of people start buying those seeing stars or there will be a very low numbered KD.

I agree...hard to see these going back down much below $40. I have the Siakam and picked up KAT last night for $24. Now I am not sure if I should complete the challenge for about another $130 or sell my 2 for $80-85? I will basically be buying the Conley for $150-160 and I also agree that the real value of Conley lies in whether it’s needed for LeBron challenge. If it is, this is Conley reward is $200+ easily. If not, and it’s not needed for KD, then who he heck will want a Conley SS for much more than $100? I’m pretty torn here...

I think I’ll still just do it to say I completed a challenge. Financially is that smart, probably not but this might be the only challenge I’ll be able to complete. I pulled the Oladipo and grabbed a Bam so if it stays around $40 per I think I’ll do it. Always been a Conley fan as well

Kinda like how SGA's Prizm RC doesn't have the RC symbol on it and his stuff is 30-40% undervalued because of it.

I don't know that it does yet. At some point, it's likely they'll incorporate that kind of thing into other challenges. Maybe have certain minimum requirements for user scores in order to be eligible to buy certain packs...

I doubt even TS knows yet.

Bretsky · 03-13-2021, 11:59 AM

Sold my first moment this morning from my opened pack for $55. Was a Bam #2800 / 35000. Super easy to put for sale and was a little shocked how quick it went. My common pack was pretty nice with that, a Durant Dunk and a Graham #8000.

boxbuster7 · 03-13-2021, 12:39 PM

Might as well just hold the commons /35000 from the pack that are going for $4 rn

KhalDrogo · 03-13-2021, 12:57 PM

When are new packs for the public coming out?

And only around 1,000 for Lebron. I have to believe anyone holding these full sets is in a really spot if they don't panic. You are either going to get a very low mint KD/Lebron or people are going to eventually scramble to finish these and dramatically raise the prices on them. I'd guess it's the second part once Lebron is officially announced.

I’m holding a Jokic and Curry hoping that scramble to complete sets happens.

Moved my Malik Beasley 40/35000+ for 105$. Got lucky with that low serial #.

I've got 11/12. Probably a bunch of people in a similar boat as me. This is good news though, could be looking at 3-4k PR. And if it is needed for Lebron we are golden.

Man, I'm going to be so mad if they include KD in that challenge. I still think (hope) if it was a master challenge that they would have told us by now. I don't think they would let the KD challenge end and then say 'by the way, you needed him to get Lebron'.

I'm just talking about the KD reward, not all the SS required for Durant. My thinking is they're not going to just make a Lebron easy to get.

I agree about not making it easy to get Lebron, but if it's a master challenge like Cool Cats I think they would have given a heads up so everyone has time to complete it if they want to.

I'm more interested in when these 'private' packs are coming out.

Wildcat55 · 03-13-2021, 03:33 PM

Wow..these moments for the Conley challenge are really creeping up. I only need the Bam and it’s now above $60 and climbing
