Playoff moments seem to have adjusted for the Griz/Jazz as that would be the next best reward (Ja dunk in 47 point game) I'd want that is still to come. I wonder if the D. Mitchell will end up pushing the $90s like the RJB & Jokic? Already moving towards $80s.

I was pleased to have flipped my Obi Toppin for $75

Wanted to do the challenge, but same as you...the prices tripled so I decided to flip.

Congrats to anyone that was holding a Monte Morris or Will Barton today!

That will be a nice low minted reward…the other 2 were minted 2,367 (Paul George) and 2,746 (Trae). If the Giannis ends up minted around those same numbers, it should be worth a good amount compared to what you completed it for since you got in early..nice work.

I just completed the upcoming Suns/Lakers challenge since all I needed was the Bron and just bought it for $185. I got the McLemore in my pack, and then bought the Ayton for $15 and the Booker for $22 during that cool down. This should be the most expensive challenge to complete so hopefully the AD is a really low mint. Only time will tell if this was a good move as it’s my first challenge I’ve completed.

So tempted however to sell these given the run up..and this challenge has not even been officially announced.

Darn bottlenecks…I have 8/9 for the Suns since they are my favorite team but I just can’t (won’t) pay $91 for the freakin Jalen Smith. Uggghhhh. I’m so far off from having a decent collector score so not completing the team is not a big deal but these bottlenecks suck..

Why is that Jalen Smith so high?

My collector score is drastically different depending on where I check. What’s the best way to calculate where you stand and how to get there?

I have 89 moments, have completed two teams, still holding a reward bonus, completed a challenge and own the entire hustle and show set. Thinking I should be in position to qualify if I make a few moves.

Isn't it on the Top Shot site?

Should be an accurate updated score as of ~90 mins ago on the TS site.

The most accurate because it updates in real time is via Livetoken. TS only updates like once or twice per day.

If you completed a team, the best thing to do if you just want to raise your CS is stack the cheapest moments for that team, each one should be worth 36 points.

I currently own 0 moments but have somehow tallied a clecter score of ~2500 according to the email.

Tempting, but...

Making the packs even harder to get. Genius move Top Shot! Surely this will get some new people onto the platform.

I guess it was always obvious but Roham and Co. have no clue what they are doing. Where's that game they said was coming soon?

I really liked the product but there have been some very questionable decisions.

Limiting the good packs to a small percentage of your customer base (5-6k out of 300k) doesn't seem to make sense if you want to keep your customers engaged.

I'll still open whatever packs I have access to but I've been selling off all my moments except for Lebron, Luka, Durant, etc.

I take it this has to do with a Reward?

He is one of the 9 unique players needed to complete the Suns team set..The other bottleneck was what caused all the controversy with the ‘inside information’. Jarrell Brantley’s S1 moment for the Jazz went from $40 to $215 and is now sitting at $223. It’s a low minted moment to begin with so buying up a bunch like Own the Moment did really made it skyrocket for anyone that wanted to complete the Jazz team set. There are a number of others like this as well…

What B2K said…Stack a bunch of commons onto your completed teams (cheapest you can find) and get the multiplier. That should get you there quick with all that you have. Only problem is they are expecting 7500 or more people to qualify for the holo pack with only 2500 available.

They introduced a 24 hour showcase quest based on stat leaders from the games the night before. Those two were included and pretty much instantly went from around $5 to $50.

Oh thanks I didn’t know that and couldn’t figure why his price was so high, relative to other rookies. I heard something about Own the Moment but not any of the specifics. That was bad.

What are you talking about in regards to packs?

Eckstein197 · 06-14-2021, 09:57 PM

I haven’t posted in a long while, still been active on TS. Playoff moments were a huge success, really did well on those. My friends and I expected these to sit around 30-40 when packs were coming up so we were trying to snatch up as much as possible. Was able to land 14 moments with an average purchase price around 21.5 bucks. Holding now for challenges, looking like if I average 70-75 bucks per these moments when their challenge comes, I’ll make about 5-600 bucks after taxes and such.

I want to be optimistic, I'm still holding what I have, but I just don't see any reason to believe in the guys running the show over there. I'm definitely not putting any more money into it.

These changes were definitely needed though and the collector score system will be tweaked as they go and learn. It was never sustainable to have half the accounts only joining pack queues and creating a race to the bottom for everything. They need to incentivize collecting and so far it has been working.

Dude, you keep using the term "incentivize collecting." They are incentivizing BUYING and many are following it in hopes to get a pack. A pack they actually lowered the price from $999 to $230 in order to guarantee +EV. (That $ was easily made up from requiring a 7500 collector score by the way.)

People collect different ways. If someone sold off their 35k/40k moments to buy a big S1 or Rare they actually like, their collector score would be a joke - especially compared to someone who only scoops up $2 and $3 scrubs. Does anyone who "collects" really want 150 mason plumlees or terry roziers?? They're 100% playing into the fact that a large majority of the user base is in TS for the money.

I want to like this. I want to "collect." But I refuse to play into the Herbalife model where they want me to keep dumping in more money in the hopes of big returns.
