Ah I misunderstood your comment. The challenge part wasn’t leaked, just the Lebron reward

Serials will matter.

Lebron HV 500/500 sold for $250.

TS trend of last serial being more valuable.

Why would they make it so only like 100 people could get a lebron silver? Would make no sense. This speculation is entirely wrong imo.

Why wouldn't they? All the other silvers are /149.

The Luka Net Marvel is /307 while all the others are /500.

Smart of them to do these challenges to drive interest/prices.

But they need to do something to get people interested in base cards or at least a way to move them. Challenge, trading feature for users, trade-in component, etc...

They also need to let ppl sell packs asap.

I could be entirely wrong, but don't they want more than 149 people to have a Lebron silver? Right now they are at the infancy stage and my opinion is they should be growing the platform instead of worrying about scarcity.

The challenge rewards have been top notch (Luka, Zion, Lebron). Definitely something they probably learned from another platforms mistakes.

One add: I totally agree they need a base challenge

my guess would be 2 challenges, the 10 silver cards get you the silver /149 Lebron and the 10 regular get you the regular /1799 Lebron.

They should have minted 5000 base cards.

Silvers = burn 5 cards of any one player so max Silvers = 1000

All other variations randomly inserted into packs.

That would have been very interesting because certain players could reach a point where the base were more rare than the Silvers.

TS may end up testing this with their ticket concept. Will be interesting if garbage commons end up with mints approaching the more rare/parallel stuff.

Cool concept and could really change the whole supply/demand dynamic for otherwise base commons.

Im sure this exists in the physical world to some extent but is impossible to know. With the digital realm, its 100% quantifiable.

Has anyone done well selling the HV inserts? I have had one $5 on my Lebron and that's it. Then I see completed sales and see guys like Anthony Davis going for $10, Joel Embiid $6, Paul George $12 etc.

Have my Challenge derozan listed for $24 - Curry and Trae young a bit higher than going rate. Not even one offer yet on any of them. I haven't sold one card yet, but I'd say patience is the key with this NFT project.

Read this on reddit so ill take it with a grain of salt but it can never hurt. Another thread said it really will keep up with the them of unwanted cards to boost a set as challenge cards to collect. These are the common cards im several threads

Christian Wood, Tyus Jones, Huerter, Terrence Ross

The rest of names are so random but these names always pop up.

Challenge is up

Wade is one of the required players but the rest are other teammates throughout Lebrons career.

Wow!

The Lebron reward does look like a base version.

The silvers are rare enough that if ppl are serious about doing the challenge, any of the silvers could bring in big money.

For instance, there are zero Ingrams on the marketplace right now. Gonna guess there will be a few posted later today but all it takes is one crazy buyer...

I see like 10 ingrams on the marketplace? I have current bids out to 3-4 of them.

The market is still “inefficient” though. So hard to see recent sales/sales. I’ve been clicking on silvers and scrolling to see the recent sales history and some people have gotten DEALS in this challenge. People flipping from $6 to $100 in 30 minutes

Weird. I've just been searching by name. I only see 1 Ingram silver that was recently listed in the marketplace (only searching public auction, not public gallery). The rest come up as base for me.
