Wow. I looked at a few moments (Demar, Rudy Gay, Devin Booker) & he/she didnt buy those, so they had to be gifted.

Not sure how deals were worked out on all of those.

...and all that and I missed the drop.

I rushed home to be here for the 2pm pacific drop, and of course delayed (which I'm sure is intentional) then life happens and it's about 4:30 pacific here and I miss the drop.

Pretty sure Dingaling did a major offline transaction just a few weeks ago. It was on The First Mint. Cant remember if there was an identity mentioned (like a ex/pro player or just a deep pockets investor), but it was noted as the largest transaction of top shot moments.

I believe TS only sends USDC so how you and where you convert can indeed cause a number of fees...but that’s life on the blockchain currently.

Is there an option to have TS send ETH or BTC to your wallet or is the only option USDC? I have only received USDC via withdrawal but maybe I simply had that as the default?

Yeah that's fair with reference to size of withdrawal, at some point you will have to withdraw from Coinbase, unless you get that crypto debit which I would recommend.

I would assume not about the options, from what I saw on their FAQ it was only USDC, they would need to start buying BTC and ETH for users to withdraw which they won't do, much easier to just buy stablecoins for them. I imagine they actually just execute a purchase of USDC. Maybe they'd change that eventually, but payouts would have to be almost immediate or the spread could be crazy

Some blockchains are expensive, but you can send tens thousands of dollars of Cardano for less than 50 cents, it's really only the BTC and ETH networks that are expensive for TX fees; Solana, Polygon, Terra, all cheap too

I waited to join the queue right after the random, so I got like 105K in order to be up for the rebound pack. If I happen to get the Throwdown pack if that many people drop out, I guess I'll buy it instead as some kind of sign.

[DSni13]

This was the big transaction.

15 base packs at $150 would yield a way better ROI then some of the results I've seen. I'm guaranteed a pack but debating on if I should leave the que or not.

[discodanman45]

I got a Bazley /1800 and probably took the loss. My daughter was pissed she only got a Ja Morant /1800, the other cards were garbage and she expected more. Someone has all the luck in my household and it is not me.

[shaner1]

Well my pack sucked.
Bunch of garbage and a:

Kevin Porter JR Throwdown dunk /1800

[n1nesports]

Odd, my throwdown moment hasn't showed up in my collection yet, but the others have. All horrible moments except for the Ja Morant #69, that was my save.

[ACCDADEAL]

ok on the 1800 cards who would actually be good enough to recoup? I just hold all my damn moments anyway as I still cannot withdrawl and it is way past 6 weeks

Same thing happened to my daughter. Here Ja /1800 is not in her collection yet, but all the other cards transferred.

Ah, so hopefully once the pack drop is done it gives us our moments. I opened a request over it just in case but I think it'll all be sorted out. Lucky gal she is lol

[Archangel1775]

I got a high flyer in Miles Bridges.35K Moments in Jimmy Buckets and Marc Gasol. I just need Holo Icon Pack and I'll be happy.

[hoopstaj]

Looks like I’ll be getting a pack. We’re probably at the moment for Top Shot where more risk than reward and not guaranteed return. It’s been a fun ride though. I’ll probably be more selective going forward on what packs to try and get

Does it say anywhere how many are left? Usually I see that on the que page but i dont see it this time. was 10k over, wondering if there's any chance.
Honestly i look at this pack as being able to get a rare and up the collector score. if you want a rare id rather do this and get extra moments with the usual potential for decent serial than going to just buy a rare moment for 130ish and getting the bottom of the barrel. At least here there's still upside, however small it may be compared to past packs.

Literally as I posted this it updated with how many remaining. I was at 86k. Now at 20364 and it says there are 26k remaining.
