NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward?

Sometimes the simple things are better.

Sometimes the players cause it to be tougher. Like yesterday, top 5 assists plus steals, any moments is a fairly easy challenge to complete. Just unfortunate you get a bench guy who only has a 4K who goes off so it makes the challenge 100 bucks plus for a base set pack cuz people love packs

I guess I'll be in for a nice site credit:

And one more thing: to celebrate the holiday season, we are proud to announce a one-time gift back event happening this weekend. For existing fans, we’re dropping Dapper Balance back as a huge THANK YOU. We took a snapshot of all accounts on Wednesday, Dec 15, 2021 and will be gifting 5% of your all-time net spend on the Marketplace back to you directly in the form of Dapper credit.* Stay tuned for a further update this weekend.

so if you have a profit on the marketplace you won't get anything? Does live token factor packs when calculating profit or loss?

Im assuming no on packs. Marketplace i think of as just buying selling individual moments.

Wonder if those that got a lot back will be using it to go for higher ques for next Tuesday. Will S2 & bottleneck moments jump for those easier full team sets?
I will probably be selling off my Pelicans stuff if it moves up from here. I'm safely in 1st que for MGLE either way. Don't think it's worth avoiding some profit taking if its for the slim slim chance of a Legendary pack.

It doesn't factor in packs, just MP transactions.

And no if you have a profit, you can still get. All it is MP Purchases-MP Sales. If that is a negative you won't get anything, but anything about $20 or above MP net spend is eligible for something.

People who flip often & don't purchase from the MP (which is a sign of engagement) wont be rewarded much for this specific gift.

It's funny because if you dislike this initiative, it's likely you have made a bunch of money on the platform, which proves you really can't please everyone.

I would probably stay put unless you were planning to get to 10k anyway. There is only about 200 packs or so available in the GQ.

470 DTH packs but still low odds. I’m at 8k collector score so I don’t think it’s worth it. But I figure floor for moments from a pack is probably $2k based on current prices.

Yeah i know. 200 are available in the GQ & 270 are available in the PQ.

I assumed he said he was debating should he stack to be eligible for the GQ, which i think it isn't since it's only 200 packs. The chances are slim, but there is a chance nonetheless.

I believe the moments will be pricy as well. Each one is limited to 55 & we know everyone wont list it.

I want to complete the challenge but I also want $300 for my Bones that was selling for like $40 a few days ago

I woke up this morning with an email saying I received a Dapper balance adjustment. I entered the Holiday giveaway yesterday but I didn't think winners were chosen for that until January 14th.

I saw some people talking about it may be a 5% giveback on total spent in marketplace. But if this is 5% back I should have way more than what they gave me.

You all know anything about what it could be?

It's not total spend, it's net. So Sales less Purchases. If you are in the black, you get zero. Since you got something, they refunded you some of your marketplace losses.

Sold my Bones moment almost instantly as soon as it listed. Now what are the odds the Herro moment will be worth more than $300?

[cjmccreary]

Nice - seems that is the peak as it hasn’t moved past that level since I sold mine for the same amount 2-3 hours ago.

It's Net Market Spend. Purchases-Sales. 5% of that.

Share your TS name and I look into it for you. I'm pretty sure its the 5% give back and they didnt make a mistake. They took a snapshot on the 15th of everyone's account.

Bones is at $335. Holy moly. Just saw that theres about 1k completions already, so you would think that moment can't be worth THAT much. But who knows about this new MSFE series.
Apparently if you give users hundreds of thousands of dollars that can't be taken off site immediately, things will go up.
I sold my Bones today for $312 so it was a good day. Still in 1st que for MGLE. Will sell off as low as i can to still be eligible for that.

Yeah we both probably sold too soon. I'll take profit consider I pulled it from a pack and I can probably buy it back for $50 after the challenge.

So max mint for Herro will be 4000 if everyone with a Bones completed the challenge. There are several challenge reward moments on the market with 4k or lower mint that are selling $20-40. I'm not good at predicting market on TS but when I look at all the challenge moments on the marketplace the best case scenario comp I think is the AI moment which has 1742 mint is selling for $247. Herro is popular but so is AI and that's AI only moment and Herro has several moments. And if you look at Herro's moments with mints in 1500-2000 range they are selling between $100-285. So I don't see any way the Herro showcase moment ends up being over $300 in the current market but I never would rule anything out on TS

Just got my $150 Dapper balance adjustments. Merry Christmas to me!

One thing to remember, TS never releases moments all at once. Bones only has 1792 or so in circulation. In S3, After initial release of 1800 they have been doing another 100 each S3 drop after that.

can anybody estimate the cost to boost my collector score 7,000 points for the DTH general queue? Or give me a hint to what the most cost efficient way of boosting collector score is?

[drobfan8]

I got $50 dapper from rakeback.

Always helps. Not even sure what's worth buying?

With the flash challenges, players that only have a /12k or /15k as their cheapest moment and play a lot, aren't bad gambles.

Thats a ton of points to move. Really not that feasible unless you had a full team set. And even then, would cost a lot of money buying S2 base with how much things have moved today. not worth it in my opinion. There are 200 packs in general que, and 10k plus will qualify. Looking at less than 2% chance.

That's the problem I have with TS these days. It's a total gamble.

I miss the og challenges.
