LOL, I'm not nearly as down on TS as many of you and got 17 packs. Zero rares. Hope the Elite Pack comes through.

Honestly, it will be like that for the time being.
The platform is showing that due to their own decisions and leadership our own moments and moments from packs (not including legends) will never turn a profit, so TS has eliminated a big part of why people purchased for the time being, possibly indefinite future.

Bitcoin was never 3.5k in 2021. The last time bitcoin hit 3.5k was in January 2019.

Not just stupid management, but also QE changing to QT. Squeezed out all of the extra cash.

Everyday more people leave TS.
But if a potential customer looks at the website, it is so confusing that they most likely leave without even trying TS out.

TS is a one way street of users exiting now.

shhtts, i dont even know what the heck is going on now.

Count me in as Triple Shocked.

I spent a couple hours on their website and discord trying to parse out the value, function and long term viability of it before dipping in. I could tell it was an absolute crap show and quickly made my exited to stage left to watch it unfold.

I really wish the pumpers and believers didn't leave the thread. So many people shouting down doubters or detractors. Any hint of criticism was met with vitriol. Even with the markets down, the writing was on the wall for Top Shot long ago. They made it too complicated to understand how to buy packs and made it too expensive to get started. Collector Score was possibly the worst idea that they rolled out and I think that's what really killed the golden goose outside of mass producing moments and waiting until now to put in inserts into base packs.

Things change, What is true today may be false tomorrow.
That is with anything in life.

Adjust to news, movements and decisions.

Thought TS was a great opportunity at first, then neutral, then rubbish. Still have 200+ moments. but it is what it is.

Not so fast... a new golden era of NFTs is just around the corner. Will Top Shot be able to come back by riding the coattails of the GOAT businessman?

Top Shot is performing better than Panini. At least when there is a challenge, I can actually sell a Top Shot.

They both have problems. But I'm all cashed out of dapper. Panini has a better product that has better future potential to stick. Dapper had their opportunity and blew it massively.

Isn't Panini losing their license soon? Can they still use NBA images for their Blockchain division?

All Panini does is make digital versions of their paper products. Nothing original or creative about it. Utility is done with Panini with 30 active challenges a week that no one cares about.
