NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward?

That's fair to think like that. And nobody wants to leave money on the table.

But I personally think some of the price increases on serial numbers are a bit silly..

Especially out of the top 100 range.

I actually think there might be more value in quality moments in high serial numbering.

I turned my low number Trae 35k in to a Luka 15k which I would prefer.

But I probably left money on the table at $88. I've gone off Trae a little though and Luka is Luka.

If the same moment is used for different sets, isn't that in a way a parallel? That's the thing about TS that it's confusing to me

They did that in Series 1 but I believe they said they wouldn't do it again.

Yeah they have said that they aren't going to do that anymore. If you think about what makes a parallel valuable it is because only a certain amount of people can own that. Same thing with serial numbers, only x amount can own a serial number in that range.

"In addition, collectors who had spent at least $999 in the NBA Top Shot Marketplace - excluding pack purchases - and held at least one Moment at the time of the snapshot will also be eligible for this drop"

They include this at the very end of the announcement, I think this makes a ton of people eligible. Hell it probably makes me eligible even though I only have 2 moments. 2400 packs is like nothing too

$1k for a pack a month or two ago, no brainer if I can grab one. $1k a pack now if I can grab one, going to have to think about that one a bit.

Prices are higher than they were when last holo pack for $999 came out lol

[whodatbeastly16]

Looks like I am eligible, that's exciting. I figured the moment requirement would keep me out, but the $999 spent makes me eligible apparently. It also means that a ton of people are going to be eligible I assume. Are we still going to see 50k+ in this one? It's also incredible the 250 packs are being held still, that's unbelievable.

Ah yeah I may have misunderstood the $1000 thing. I thought it meant deposited $1000. If it is $1000 in marketplace that isn't very hard at all cause you can just buy and sell things a few times.

I am eligible as well since I’m holding more that 15 moments. Hope I’ll be able to get one

I mean 1x holo legendary and 3x Metallic gold is an automatic win over $1000 I believe.

[rysportguy]

FYI for those interested it will tell you if you are eligible on the pack page

I'm out damn it.

I thought the required moments might be more like 7 or 10.

I wonder if that means they'll continue to push the requirements? I hope so.

Why not make it 30 moments or $3k tipped in?

Would definitely stop some of the people that bot and just flip and don't collect.

[ninjacookies]

10k off top.... (people that completed the SS challenges)


Probably going to be at least 50k people eligible for these packs. God Bless.

I had one lonely moment left in my collection. Good ol’ Eric Gordon saves the day.

Wonder how many accounts are eligible

Probably 50k+. Would be surprised to see any lower than that.

[val47]

Im eligible for the drop but I don’t have the 1K for it so unless somebody wants to go 3 ways I’ll be watching from the sidelines

I bet it's 75k~. Random number. Haha.

I'm in. I don't care what's in them.

Any guesses on how many of them are worth 1k+(beyond a good serial)? Lebron, Edwards, Ja and? There has to be 8-10. The /499's are rough. Base are...base(besides rc's and good serials).

Some of you EV guys care to take a guess on these?

[whodatbeastly16]

I mean the cheapest legendary moment on the site right now is $2k. Even if you get all stinker I think your pack would be 1.5x or a double up if you include the 9 other moments. It is going to be sad though, because it seems like at most maybe one person from this site will get a pack if even statistically.

I see that too, but just like eBay...you can list for whatever you'd like. I'm curious what these will actually sell for...confirmed purchases, beyond the few that will obviously sell for 1k+. We'll see tomorrow I suppose .

Prices on some moments I watch have dropped quite a bit in the last few hours - people trying to acquire Dapper for pack money I assume.

[hoopstaj]

Opened my pre order pack:

Evan Fournier /35k
Tyler Herro /35k
Lamelo Ball /35k

Solid pack!

Yeah but 95% aren't going to get the pack so it ends up going right back into the market.
