NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward?

[KhalDrogo]

Just paid $50 to get the Quickley to finish the Quavo challenge. Tried for 30 minutes before that and couldn’t get any to process.

I was lucky to snag one for $30. Took me 15-20 min before I got one to go through.

It'll be huge news. I think every NBA player would want one, except LeBron.

For real though, makes me want to collect all the Vvibes just in case.

Paid $60 to grab each moment from NYK, HAWKS, and WNBA teams, I guess the chance to win is very very low.

Got lucky I saw that Quavo challenge drop when it did, picked up 2 Elfrid Payton’s and already had 2 IQ in the inventory. Flipped the Payton’s for a quick 2X and then sold 1 of the IQ for 33. Then flipped some extra WNBA moments I had. Quick 100 bucks on the challenge and still completed it.

Building up the dapper in anticipation for NFL coming soon

Correct if I'm wrong, but I don't think they have ever utilized a reward moment for a challenge or showcase. If they do it now, it would be the first I can recall.

My guess is if they use a Klay, he will have another moment release sometime soon.

Isn't that just what they did with the Wade? Or was that not a reward moment?

Nah. Rewards are moments that have the Red star next to it.

As of 4:43 PM yesterday, Livetoken reported 16,389 Bose showcases were completed. With 3 days left, one could expect this to be at least a 45K mint moment.

Sold my Tony Parker RIB for $228. Feel good about that and now I can hold some of the archive moments longer in case they're used in challenge.

Trade in tickets locker room pack queue open, dropping in the next 9 minutes

Wow, mints up to 60k on scrubs... they are going to flood the market and my guess is that 60k is only the beginning... they will sell as many packs as people will buy.... this is scary as hell.... LEs will be hot, but their pops will still be high compared to others.... will be an interesting season for sure...

For sure. They have communicated this in the blog though, so not surprised.
I'm just gonna buy the rookies from the MP I adore. Cant buy 10 packs for $90.00 & hope to get them. Price of floor moments will drastically change this weekend I believe. S2/S1 moments should rise.

Buy up all that S1 and 2 for sure

Series 3 will be for utility. Trade ins, burning, etc. TopShot seems to have a really solid plan. Series 1 and 2 will probably keep climbing in value over time.

Yup which is why I'm not spending $90 to buy 10 packs. I'll just spend $90 on the rookies I want.

I don’t feel so bad about paying $30 minutes after showcase went live.

If it makes you feel better I paid $129 for triple badge Ky Bowman to complete Klay debut moment showcase

Are other people sitting on unopened packs? I have 24 unopened now.

Just one for me. Surprisingly I've had less patience in keeping these sealed than physical packs

[The Losing Edge]

FYI for tomorrow:

10k moments - Jaylen Brown, Myles Turner, & CJ McCollum.
4k Rooks - Davion Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Jalen Suggs, Josh Christopher, Moses Moody, & Jalen Johnson.
Bottle necks broken (any player getting a 60k that only had 12k or less to this point)- Jordan Nwora, Jordan Poole, JaSean Tate, Isaiah Roby, Cody Martin, Javonte Green, Daniel Gafford, & JaMychal Green.

Unsure of exact distribution of these in packs. Anyone seen this? Like are all 4,000 rooks available or only 2k? Don't think we'll know until we see that sweet google sheet they put on pack page tomorrow.

I think I'm sitting out tomorrow. I might buy 1or 2, but I'm definitely not buying 10 packs. I think this is gonna be the first -EV pack since TD. If you don't hit a rookie, I don't see you making back $9.00. I'm just going to buy the moments I want from the MP.

Also, I wouldn't say the bottlenecks are completely broken. For instance, Nwora's new moment tomorrow will satisfy the "all players" set, but you would still need the current Nwora for the "season 2" set.

Wish Cunningham, Green & Barnes was making their debut tomorrow too.

I'll probably do 10 to satiate the degenerate in me.

Ha. That made me laugh. I was only going to do one Archive pack but went all three. I think I'm going 3 here because I have $35 in Dapper! But really I think 5 would be my max.

True, But the full team set is the super powered CS booster. I am merely thinking about it in that sense. Having full S2 (1.5X) isn't same as full team (3X). I did a Portland S2 set and was like, oh well this is gonna take forever to boost my CS to where it needs to be.

Some of these don't matter much in that light. Its so hard for a full team set because of S1 RIB on a bunch of these.

[The Losing Edge]

I'm not so sure everyone is going to be able to get these packs easily tomorrow. The CS requirement is non existent. Every account can que up for these. How many people queing up are planning on doing all 10? How many newer accounts that have no moments look at it this like their chance to finally get in the game and have a chance at some 4k rookies? Cause 200,000 packs can only support 20,000 buyers at 10 per. Lets say not all of first 20k will do 10 packs, what percent will? What percent will buy multiple but less than 10? I can see it not getting past 1st 30,000 in line depending on how many people are buying. Now add in the no CS to enter que and how many people are queing up, 75k, 100, 150? Our odds are not looking too hot for something that seems readily available.
