NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward?

[DSni13]

MGLE 31 challenge. Bout time to let KD pull #2 go.

Wish it was part of LBJ. I think having Kyrie as the reward kinda puts a cap on the potential challenge period ceiling.

Guess that’s it for me. Too bad cause I was starting to like buying packs and moments too. Oh well

You use your SSN everywhere these days. I’d rather trust Top Shot with I’m sure pretty tech forward data protection stuff going on than it sitting in a drawer at my dentists office

Topshot can’t do anything right from a technological perspective. I’ll take my chances at the dentists office

I have a permanent credit freeze so ultimately it doesn’t matter but I’m not giving out my SSN to buy gifs

This is why I laugh at some of the Top Shot nuthuggers. Is it a collectible platform or is an investment platform? If I complain that my pack was scrubs because, well, it was basically trash, your comeback is "yOu StIlL wIlL dOuBlE yOuR mOnEy!!" Maybe, just maybe, people want to open a pack and get players that are stars or players they collect.

The game 7 Durant moment?

I'm finding the Rnd 1 PO moments are great buys rn.

Tbh I don’t understand why anyone would be complaining about this pack, regardless of what their motive for buying was.
If someone is “investing” and doesn’t care about the moments, even a pretty terrible pack probably doubled, although I think most people did better than that even.
If someone is indeed “collecting” and is concerned about getting stars or someone they like, it’s very easy to just sell off the moments that you don’t want and then turn that same dollar value into a player you do want. I had no desire to own the Nic Claxton playoff moment that I pulled from my pack so I sold that, along with the commons I got (who were all scrubs by the way), and turned it into the Joe Ingles playoff moment instead.

Exactly. Well said.

I thought it was pretty self explanatory that you could sell the "trash" pack for at least 3 times the value of the pack or more and then quite easily find a moment of your favorite player or 2.

Have some people not figured that out?

There really was nothing to complain about those packs or that pack drop. Some people, not mentioning any names are just obtuse.

Dude I know that every other post you say something like “I have constructive criticism for TopShot because the platform isn’t perfect and here’s good feedback I have that would help fix it” and honestly sometimes I agree with what you have to say.
But when you say stuff like this, why are you surprised when people get annoyed?
Obviously you can have your opinion about what is wrong with it and what to improve but if you are going to complain about the pack and then when someone explains why you literally can’t lose (in regards to this pack specifically) and you don’t address a single point in there and just say “nobody is allowed to complain. Nobody listens to me when I give good feedback”, that’s what is kind of ridiculous.
I’m genuinely curious, would you only have been satisfied with this pack of every user pulled a moment from their favorite team straight out of the pack? I know TS has its imperfections but for this drop specifically, what would you have done differently to help all the people who “only pulled crap moments”?

My point is people are allowed to complain if they get crummy players in a pack and be disappointed. I was. Had I gotten a Cavs player I didn’t have, I’d be happy. Yes, I realize I can sell the moments I don’t want to buy others I do. I still think it’s valid to complain if you don’t get a good pack or a pack with a few players we want to collect. That’s what I was saying when I got a trash pack. It was disappointing not to get a cool hit or a moment I wanted to keep.

But for some, you can’t complain about anything.

Anybody know what they're planning on doing with the moments in the unsold packs? There was clamor on twitter to burn the moments.

That would be silly. Why not put the rest up for sale to those who already got them?

yeah, I agree with you. Not sure i understand the whole burning concept to create artificial scarcity. I'd be happy with another pack.

They are up for sale still and continually decreasing in supply, they will probably sell out eventually with the ROI and accounts that qualified.

First two R2 Challenges are up

Jokic and Booker are rewards for their respective challenges

I decided to finish the Jokic one since I have a Nuggets S2 team set

- I picked up the Austin Rivers yesterday as he is the new piece for the S2 team bonus
- 4 of the 6 are Nuggets so thats easy extra team bonus points
- I got the McCollum in my pack
- Challenge completion bonus
- Reward is the MVP
- Play the reward serial lotto lol

[redsfaithful]

I didn't want anything I got in my pack so I once again sold it all, turning my $19 into $78. If I were certain posters in this thread I guess I would be really mad about this.

[boxbuster7]

I personally bought some of the suns challenge moments. If there is a surefire way to make $ on the marketplace, buying challenge moments is the way to go. Especially if they win tonight and get the finals hype.

[Corporal Lance]

I, too, completed the Jokic challenge. Mainly so I could say I have done one. I'm aware the second its' over the price plummets on the moments needed to complete it.

Big baller, I am.

Well played gents.

I only completed 1 challenge and had a great time doing it. Probably the most fun you can have on TS truthfully..

Best of luck with the serial numbers.

Is this just the 6 moments under the 'challenge 2' filter? I haven't done one yet either but if it's just the 6 I may do it just to have 1 under my belt too.


Anyone else think Maxey's 3-badge 1st moment may spike when Simmons is traded?

Yep that's the one.

Current cost to complete is just $134 and you get a Jokic
