53 left...I am sitting at 1500. What a C*^& tease for the last hour.

lemongoat1134 · 05-10-2021, 08:03 PM

Kevin Porter Jr /1800 and 5 commons $4-$6. I’ve had really good luck getting packs in my couple months doing this but have had crap luck with the contents.

ChasingZion · 05-10-2021, 08:05 PM

Opened mine, it was absolutely horrendous. Not even worth listing them out, not a single good player or even medium numbered serial. So it goes, took a swing anyway.

Yea what happened? It said i was 1000 with 4000 packs remaining and i havent moved since and now says 53 packs left.

b2k1121 · 05-10-2021, 08:08 PM

Pulled a Kawhi as the Throwdown, rest were garbage.

marvelfan2019 · 05-10-2021, 08:17 PM

What are people's thoughts on how much the rares go for in the first challenge?

I know Blake isn't the reward everyone wanted, but he is one of the best dunkers of this generation imo. Makes sense for him to be a reward in a Throwdowns set, but like others said a retro dunk would have been cool.

UPDATE [6:15PM PDT]: All packs are reserved at this point. Waiting for some packs to come back before resuming the queue.

We are aware of a lag for Moments to appear in collections after opening packs. They will appear eventually, we promise!

The $20 Dapper bucks are hitting some accounts

Question for anyone who is kind enough to respond:

For my Ja, when is the best time to sell? He is not apart of the challenge, but could he be in another since him & Zion are not in this challenge?

I'm like $400 in of my own money(packs/marketplace purchases), so I want to make sure I maximize these moments, because I know they won't happen often for me.

Thanks for any advice.

Mamschler1 · 05-10-2021, 08:22 PM

LOL this was a doosie!

Cam Reddish 32,534/35,000
Mikal Bridges 363/35,000
Cam Reddish 6,536/35,000
Chris Chiozza 34,083/35,000
Cam Reddish 25,255/35,000

Keldon Johnson 1,369/1,800

I get they put dupes can happen and blah blah blah.... but dude, with a $150 pack, you'd think they would modify the algorithm to make sure someone doesn't get sh!t on with 3 of the same crappy player....

How many times you think that happens with a Lebron Base moment..... ? Yeah right

Wizkid · 05-10-2021, 08:24 PM

I was excited when I saw my rare was from Memphis because I thought I scored a Ja, but then it was Xavier Tillman

Otherwise, happy I got 2 low pulls and a Steph Curry

The que line and remaining packs updates aren't synced up. There is a lag period up until the limit s about to be reach. At that point, the line is slowed down/paused to enable an accurate number.

Yea that's what I figured. Still messes with you tho. I was 20k in line and it said 26k left. Then it got down and i was still looking good, like oh ill actually get one. Nope!.... On to the rebound pack.

Yeah, he should be in one of the Throwdown challenges. It's hard to say really because typically you wait for the challenge, but everyone knows there is going to be a challenge already and there are a lot of Ja fans that will want it. If it was me I'd still wait for the challenge, especially because he could be the bottleneck, but it could also pump up quickly and then slowly decline until the challenge is over like what tends to happen with MGLE challenges. In other words, I have no idea when the max value will be.

Agree.

On the bright side - I knew this was going to be a brutal drop for most. At least the rebound pack is a no lose pack.

rubendn · 05-10-2021, 08:37 PM

This might be the first pack that will be negative return for the majority of purchasers. Unless you hit one of the top guys, you are probably not getting $150 back out of it if you sell unless you also hit a Lebron common or other commons worth more than $4-$5.

discodanman45 · 05-10-2021, 08:38 PM

The Blake Griffin throwdown challenge may be the worst challenge completion ever. How many people are going to try to get it?

No worries, I appreciate your comments nonetheless. I'll wait it out then.

Right there with you. I opened mine and seen Pelicans on my throw down. I was like “Finally get a good one in a pack” after finally getting a non-reserved pack. Then I see Jaxson Hayes....
