NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward? - Page 332

I did cost myself about $5000 by selling 7 right away instead of waiting, but I’m not gonna complain, I’ve done well and it’s something different.

The current Lebron /7500 sells for $1700 and this one likely is even more limited so lets say $2000. $2000 and 12 moments needed to complete the challenge means that each moment gets a value bump of $166 for the challenge alone.

So whatever you think the value is of each moment, add $166 to it and that is the value it should be trading at. These moments aren't accounting for any challenge bump right now.

What LeBron Seeing Stars? Isn't that the reward for collecting his team?

He’s referring to the players that are on Lebrons team. We are just assuming at this point they will be used in the challenge to get the Lebron

Yup sorry for the confusion. I meant the players on Lebron's all star team. They are 100% going to be needed for Lebron challenge. Only curveball would be if they require Durant and his team as well.

Libruary (the original poster) getting a shout out from Harrison Barnes today is pretty cool.

Pros:
-There is a chance of the moments going up in value since it is relatively early in the project
-Community driven content and word of mouth could be free ways that the product is marketed and gain traction

Cons:
-Technical challenges may occur when there is a massive wave of new users and this is a new type of product
-Bottlenecks for manual processes such as verifying users for withdrawals may cause some users to be unhappy in the short-term

Quoted above is the pros/cons libruary posted four weeks ago. Quoted below is my response to him. I'm surprised by how successful they've been in the short term. It really is pretty illuminating to see what they've chosen to do.

The real test will be to see whether they can incorporate the changes while keeping a sustained interest in the platform. Timing is a factor, but less pressing in my opinion. If they can calibrate the value of a pack drop with the demand generated from the primary sales and the secondary market, it could be interesting.

I still bristle a bit at three key factors:
-Philanthropy/profit-sharing transparency
-Limited variety and scarcity concerns
-Availability (five 9's)

They're probably hard at work on all three, and it's no different than the printer/production concerns in physical card manufacturer workflows. I feel like the financial situation isn't as pressing (perhaps they'll evaluate their payment platform soon). I also feel like there's a capability to find a set number of highlights a week and get a better curated game plan for release together. Limited by labor availability, most likely.

Marketing is definitely something that could pay off. NBA Media/PR could be more assertive in that regard.

Will the serial #'s for the Seeing Stars set have any influence to the serial number you receive on the Durant when you complete all 12? reason why I ask is I'm trying to figure out if there's any incentive to pay a little more than "lowest ask" to get the better serial numbers or is it all random regardless of what serial numbers you have when the project is completed? Thanks

They have no impact. But after the challenge they could hold more value so up to you if it is worth paying more.

Vinny1984 · 03-09-2021, 10:33 PM

At this point I’m just buying seeing stars every 30 minutes and listing a previous one for $30 more. Working pretty well. This is the exact scenario that got me in trouble when the S2 /15000 were CC. It’s fun...but I don’t learn.

It's probably a fairly low risk move. These are most likely going to keep slowly moving up over the next few weeks.

Yeah I’ve completed the entire set and will keep that for the challenges. Flipping extras seems to be a relatively safe bet currently. But things can take a 180 very quick in the TS world.

I'm glad I bought most of the seeing stars yesterday and earlier today. Up like 30% from the morning

The number of listings are dropping fast on them.

The SS Luka? He's the bottleneck for Lebron so I don't think he's coming back down without any major market shift.

Yeah. Stagnant at $550-600 all day. All of a sudden up to almost $700 in the last couple hours or so.
