NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward?

IMO, that's better than just liquidating them for $1-2 each.

Not sure at this point it is worth it for a 13% chance. The only /999 Lebron moment I see is down to $1,269. I think I would rather take the eventual $600-700 from the moments when they sell. Just need another trade ticket event so all the $2 moments sell.

It's incredible that even all the Lebron moments are down sharply. If those can't hold value then what can?

Oooh.

Top Shot suddenly doing Panini NFT cosplay.


Circle of life.

He's talking about the LeBron debut and LeBron Kobe tribute.
Those are like $6k & $2.5k respectively right now.

I totally agree with what that member said. If you have a bunch of $2 moments, trading in is very smart to do because a good portion of LeBron, Steph & Giannis debuts are in those packs.

Oh ok. Yeah those are /1000. They are currently $5.5k/$2.3k. I'm starting with the higher priced moments so by the time I get to the $2 moments then it might be a good option. Easier to trade in than list $2 moments.

What series 1 held back packs? I dont see anything but locker packs to trade.

TS might never offer anything but trade in packs for ever?. Like Points (last year, now gone) Rake back (changed) , everything they do for a short time then disappears.

Truly dont know how everyone plans anything with TS. They always say one thing but do another.

https://blog.nbatopshot.com/posts/in...-trade-tickets

They wrapped 10,425 locker room S1 packs and the blog states that 7,000 will be available for trade tickets, while the remainder will be distributed by staff.
Batch 1: 500 packs 11/30
Batch 2: 500 packs 12/30
Batch 3: 500 packs 1/27
Batch 4: 500 packs 2/28
Batch 5: 500 packs 3/29

Based on this pattern, they'll continue releasing 500 packs the last week of each month until all 7,000 are gone about a year from now. So there are always chances to get one of the 500 packs when they release.

Moments and quantities wrapped in these packs:

Thanks, looks like the end of the month each time.

Got up to 150 tickets once, down to 100 now. wonder if it is worth 350 or just dump at $2-3 or trade in for 350 .
But what if i dont get a spot for a pack and get stuck with 350 trade tickets?

You have to be happy with continuing to try every month through the sell-out of the pack.

ok, i am selling now and trading for the crappy packs now.

Contribute to the tanking of TS i guess.

Liquidation update that may be of interest to some.

Started on Sunday with 560 moments with a floor price of $4,950 according to OTM. Took 3 days to list everything.

As of now I have sold 281 moments for $3,200 in Dapper. This is after marketplace commission.

Still have 279 moments listed for a total of $1,450.

Depending on serial number, I've listed most at the floor or slightly above. I'm sure the last batch is going to take a lot longer to sell than the initial listings.

Collector Score went from 8,100 to 2,300 currently.

What the heck is Meta Panda?

Can the ranking change or the founders have the rarest Pandas already?

It is rigged also?

Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) sponsored version of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT competitor. 10,000 pandas for sale starting 10 days ago. Nearly half sold, but they close the initial window on 4/25. You can tell the founders expected it to sell out without having to make multiple plays.

During the initial sale, you bought a sight unseen randomly selected panda.

Last Friday night they had a reveal party in LA where they released the images of all the pandas images live. That's when people realized which ones they had. Here's one of mine:


There are plenty of low-numbered and/or high rated ones still available. This firefighter one only ranked around #1500 even though it has one property with only 20 having it. They will be sold via ongaia, which is basically a BST for projects not really big enough to sustain their own marketplace.

For each panda you buy from the mint, you get a voucher for $199 in clothing to get your panda image on a varsity jacket, basketball jersey, shirt collection, or whatever. They are planning on having the vouchers be resellable or combinable so you can buy multiple items for the same panda.

As to whether the founders have all the rarest/best ones, not really. But it seems like most got wrapped in the first 1000 or so numbered pandas just based on the wrapper algorithm. But many of those are still available by purchasing one right now. You can see on the site which ones are still available in the mint.

They mentioned on their discord that pandas with serial numbers ending in 37 and 96 would get additional free stuff. They said about 5 people used a glitch in the Dapper checkout to see which serial numbers they were getting and then cancelled the payment until they got a serial number they wanted (back when nobody knew what they looked like). So some people took advantage, and they're looking at suspending those (see discord announcements).

Very well written. I purchased two myself. Pulled a lightning and a tuxedo panda.

Meta Panda.

Fml. Just LOL. Who do we want to be as human beings?

might transfer 50% out of TS and buy a few Pandas. Who knows what could happen. Cannot be worse at this point than TS.

So, I had no idea TS was giving away rare packs with the initiative in the below link:

https://about.nbatopshot.com/playoff...e-nba-playoffs

Saw the winner's list for round 1 & saw that I won.

Feel free to look at the second link if you have any team set completed to see if you won. It was a random draw.

[mjohnatgt]

Congrats; yep, perks of staying invested in TopShot.

[ninjacookies]

The entire 10,000 LE BAYC copypasta script is exhausted and played.

You'll be able to cop a used panda under a c-note soon enough.

Good on Artest for hustling a few quick m's.

I was looking at the Artest and Dapper combo. Could it work out? But TS is tanking, so same difference..

The 'art' isn't even original or innovative. The highlight of the release was Artest's smedium tux at the release gala.

That said, you're right...probably can't be much worse than 4/22 TS.

[mjohnatgt]

I'd say it's more interesting than the other Dapper NFT projects ongaia. 8-bit Archie and Jugghead comics or pixellated shoes.

Just hoping Dapper gets LUCKY, REAL LUCKY again. TS might be flat for years already.

Dapper feels like a mulit-level guru just pumping the next great MLM. So i will just early adaptor everything, haha
