I don't believe it's hit the point where this all falls apart yet, so I'm going to buy if it'll let me.

A little over 1000 too far back for this drop. Ultimately this is likely to be a good thing.Booyah- posted:has anyone successfully withdrawn their balance from this thing yet? Not that I'm aware of, lol.

Hell I haven’t successfully gotten a pack yet. #112116 in line right now. I even missed the preorder last week because I wasn’t staring at my phone and my window passed.

Wasn't able to get in because I don't have a Moment yet, which I couldn't get because the market has been down every single time I look. RIP me I guess?

You guys did read the warning saying you can’t buy this pack unless you already own one or more moments, right?

I was also looking at Dapper and how to withdraw funds. You can either withdraw from Dapper to a US bank account, via wire transfer, or to an Ethereum wallet. So for those of us outside the US, we have to get an Ethereum wallet if we want to withdraw. I wonder how we would then withdraw / convert that Ethereum into actual money...? I'm guessing something like Coinbase or the like?

MazelTovCocktail posted:Honestly I wanted to try, but they was only if the other card was sold by then. No way I’m investing that much into this, the basic packs seem to have enough potential. I think this is the smart way to play it. Sell your cheap moments, then use that cash to get build up to a rare one. Don’t spend more than $15 real money on this.

It's looking like I'll be one of the first 100-200 people in line to not get this pack. This is such a hilarious way to sell a product.

The marketplace has reopened, but for some unknown period of time they are only allowing people to delist moments. After that, they will allow you buy or sell a moment once every 2 hours. https://blog.nbatopshot.com/posts/marketplace-reopening

Now, maybe I can lower the price on them and actually sell them.

spencer for hire posted:Now that I’m hooked, someone convince me that trying to corner a card is a dumb idea. There is a base set 2 Drummond dunk with a cap of 15k. 50 sellers right now between $16-25 and approx 1000 sellers total. For like a grand I could buy everything less than $25. If I could sell them all for $25 then the move would be slightly profitable after 5% selling fee. I didn’t end up going forward with my plan because there is also a $1.50 service charge for every purchase. Looks like that Drummond is up to $25 now though so maybe someone else is trying it! Ended up selling a Sexton ~1200 serial CC common for $40 so I’ll take it. I really see LEs having tons of value in the future but there should be no value in CCs

Does anyone actually do these challenges? They require like $2,000+ worth of moments. Is the moment you get as a reward super valuable?

It's tempting to sell them but they might be the only valuable thing left soon. What's crazy is that the moments I got in my first pack were originally CCs, and they changed them to LEs. I guess cause they decided not to mint more.

Listed an RJ Barrett for $12 when the previous lowest was $13, it sold within minutes. Now I have to wait an hour twenty to sell my other common for ~8 or whatever. Going to keep holding my Julius Randle that's a LE moment and flip the money from the commons on another pack whenever the randomized line gods see fit. I think my game plan will be to hopefully keep flipping commons for new packs and keep the limited ones to see how the market goes in the slightly longer term.

spencer for hire posted:I really see LEs having tons of value in the future but there should be no value in CCs I might've been wrong, but my thinking was this: 10,000 is somewhat limited but there are like 4 other LE's in series 2 that are smaller runs. There will be more rare runs in future series too. This one 10,000 LE, even if it's somewhat rare and Top Shot stays being a thing, will become one of many, and the Team Durant Seeing Stars challenge is winding down. Idk, it also just seems smart to take the $400+ win when you have the chance. And then you can jump in all the future queues and have money already in the bank to pay for them.

Fast Luck posted:I was thinking about this. I got my brother to buy a $14 pack the other day and he landed a Zion Seeing Star, and I advised him to sell it tonight for $470 and it sold instantly. Oh for sure, $400 is $400. You bring up a good point about future releases. By series 7, who is going to want random Drummond Dunk series 2, even if there are only 15k of them in circulation? My initial thought was that top shot can easily reach 1 million plus collectors, which would make a 15k drop limited to less than 1.5% of the collector base. But similar to cardboard, most of those collectors will be focused on the latest releases. The interesting wrench will be if Topshot releases new challenges for “old” series to promote the market.

I wouldn't underestimate the power of old rares if I were you. Old things you can no longer get have extraordinary and surprising value in games. But then, I'm thinking specifically in video games, and I don't know if that knowledge applies here.

spencer for hire posted:Oh for sure, $400 is $400. The old moments I think collectors (if this last more than a few more weeks/months) would want are rookie year moments from players that take the next step. LaMelo and Haliburton would be the best for that this year.

For topshot every guy's series 1 cards are basically a "rookie" equivalent i feel like, as there are no earlier available gifs of lebron dunking either even though hes an old vet at this point. but therefore, all the series 1 lebron gifs are worth minimum $25,000. for rookies basically the same "ground floor" principle will likely still apply but since none of these cards are truly getting lost or hacked up like traditional cards, rookie cards wont have the elevated scarcity that they otherwise might... and idk if a rookie rising stars lamelo ball (2021 total printed) will be worth more than, like, a "legendary" lamelo ball card in a few seasons that they only make 1000 of? like idk But rookie cards are also a good time to bet on who you thinks gonna be a star, like you can get a precious achiuwa for $375 right now and if he goes on to be a stud you made a ton of money. or if you think lamelo will literally be the next lebron then maybe you do spend $3000 on his rare rookie card and then flip it for $100,000 if this thing is still humming in ten years. i also wonder if the nba will ever license additional animated gif sellers.
