Topps NFT - 4/20 @ on.wax

[monkeymcgee]

Fun game: spot the >$10 base listings in the Cryptoslam sales report and make some money. Base prices are stupid right now, but there are a lot of buyers.

Well I said today things were slowing, but I think things just go slower in the morning and early afternoon. I'm not sure how much further this can go at this rate, but it is fun to watch. I think I am almost done tinkering with my collection for the week after a few things sell. I've moved everything to rares or higher or base I think might be ingredients. That, plus I've got a 1952 set going. I hope I'm able to get a Trout 1952 out of a pack, because I don't think there's ever anyway I would pony up for one.

Is there any certainty that only high level players will be crafting ingredients?

No, but it is looking like they are at least using recognizable names. They've already had a couple of lower tier, but decent, players in the mix. They'll probably switch it up during the Trout week and go all Team cards as I've dumped all mine.

Imagine having to burn trout to get redux Trout. That’s a dilemma I would not want to decide.

Both would be sky high as Trouts are already lifting off..

If anyone has any Kershaw or Tatis Opening Day cards available for trade let me know. I have Pujols base uncommon and rare, other future HOF available for trade.

So when I opened my packs when they came out, I sold some junk and bought a rainbow Vlad. I turned around and listed it for a ridiculous $299. Well I forgot I had it listed and it sold in the middle of the night. Ugh!!!!

However, I just used the funds to buy another Trout Base. These are already hitting $300.

This now puts me at 3 Trouts. (X2 base and 1 Opening Day)

Being that I gave up a rainbow Vlad for a Trout, I’m not sure how well this will turn out in the end.

Hey guys, whats the easiest way in AtomicHub to see what you paid when purchasing an asset/card/NFT?

Log into your wallet through atomic hub.

Click Sell NFT’s

Thank click bought


Here you can scroll through all your purchases.

Edit: Now that I’m looking at this I don’t think it shows the price paid but rather the current price of the card

[PhilT]

Are the week 2 crafting packs sold out? Reason I ask is because on mine I see it is out of /1000 and I am pretty sure that many have already been crafted.

Also, is there a way to see what minted cards have already been pulled from these packs? Has the #1 been puled for instance. Thanks!

Took the plunge and bought a Trout base. Thought it was a relatively low serial number (in the 200s). Let's see how this goes.

What do you all think would be better to hold: 10 standard or 1 premium?

What do you think is better to open: 7 standard or 1 premium?

I'm leaning towards opening all mine considering how singles are rising - even for lower tier guys due to crafting.

The Premium packs are so much more liquid though. Any time I've needed quick cash I can sell one in 10 minutes.

I've been wondering the same thing.

Standard packs were offered at $5 and are now $105. Up 21x.
Premium packs were offered at $100 and are now $1066. Up 10-11x.

But long term... the standard packs, in my opinion, are mostly desireable right now for crafting. The Premium packs are desirable for the actual cards inside.

So long-term, I'd bet on the Premium packs. Once crafting is done, I don't know how much to expect from Standard Packs.

That said, I can't pull the trigger on selling or ripping my remaining standard packs.... so I hold... perhaps through the peak.

Just going to put this out there assuming Topps has important decision makers reading forums like this to assess the market. As others have said, I think it is hugely important that Topps not drop another series one release. Alot of people, including myself, are putting money in right now assuming the supply has been capped (despite the confusing "?"). If Topps floods the market with 2X or more of series 1, I am not sure how it recovers the consumer confidence of those who watch their values fall off a cliff. If they want to create more supply on the next drop - go right ahead with a Heritage, Series 2, Bowman release, etc. Just don't ruin the current market and the future of this by flooding the market with series 1 when it is just as easy to move onto the next release and disclose the new print run for that release. As well, I would hope Topps would already realize this b/c, long-term, their real financial benefit is probably the cut of each transaction so it wouldn't make sense to kill the growth in value with excessive supply.

I agree 100%


They can do releases such as:
Series 1 release with 5 weeks of redux crafting
Heritage series 1 with 5 weeks of redux crafting
Bowmans series 1 with 5 weeks of redux crafting
Archives Series 1 with 5 weeks of redux crafting
Series 2 release with 5 weeks of redux crafting
Heritage series 2 with 5 weeks of redux crafting
Bowman Series 2 with 5 weeks of redux crafting
Archives Series 2 with 5 weeks of redux crafting

Etc, etc, etc..or something similar.



From here, you can move into other sets like Tier One, TTT, inception, Fire...

[NoWhammys2021]

Anyone know the length of contract between Topps and WAXP ?

+1

You get 1 chance to make a 1st impression. If Topps makes more S1, who is to say they won't water down future releases?

A lot of people are still wrapping their minds around NFTs. Obviously there are a good amount of ppl already involved, but I think there are a ton of ppl out there still on the fence about NFTs. If you betray consumer confidence or make things more confusing, ppl will just say forget it and not look back.

Upside in not minting more S1 is tremendous. The downside is leaving a little coin on the table (which you can easily make back with different future releases).

I had one too. Moved it to $195 earlier in the day. Wasn't around to bump it during his game and needless to say it got hit.
Was curious to see if a monster game would move the market on a player. Vlad already has/had hype so this 3 HR game is kinda on top of that already but showed me, yes it is possible for the market to react instantly.

Glad folks agree! I have to think that, at the very least, Topps has an intern out scouring these types of boards to report back the chatter. I'd like to think they have at least a few high level positions dedicated to this sort of thing. So hopefully the message gets through.

Agree 100%

The long play for Topps is to not flood the market, continue with similar sized sets as series 1 or smaller. This is a cash cow for them if they play it correctly and keep the demand up.

Great points. It was easy to open at lower levels, but I still think there might be some upside based on the trends. Guess it all depends when Heritage or series 2 drops.

I'm not sure S2 will impact S1 value much. First Topps NFTs of Trout, Acuna, Soto, Betts, etc. are all in these S1 packs and I think that will mean something long term (if NFTs are in fact here to stay).
