Oh I know. As far as I can tell their advertising budget is in the negative, but they shouldn't be advertising anyway because they still can't get their platform right. This is going to be a beta for as long as Star Citizen has been in alpha.

Why has my Series 1 Derrick Rose moment gone up in price 75% today?

Should I sell it now?

Still no invite but not surprised. The only thing I really care about at this point is Scottie Barnes becoming an allstar.

I got an invite today too. My market value is top 1.2% but I've only put in about 25% of that.

I'm on the waitlist and didn't get in, and my topshot account is pretty strong. I don't care about the NFL though so would probably have only gotten the first pack I could and then retired.

congrats on the lebron MGLE. I got a CJ McCollum

from previous posts in the discord I can see that there have been at least one prior wave of invites before yesterday's, and I anticipate there'll be more.

it looks like there's only been one round of packs so far, and the second is tomorrow.

point is, if you're on the waitlist, still a chance to get in before general release.

I was in the top 8% or so until I was stupid enough to trade in 350 moments for that first locker pack.

not as dumb as me collecting every cool cat minus the $1400 Luka so I missed out on the ~$4000+ LaMelo. the Luka's also held its value.

Thanks!

Planning to hold that one longterm so I completed the Davion Mitchell challenge as well which is trading for around ~700 while the moments I bought to complete it have only declined about ~225 from when I purchased them. The new challenge utility for rares is really helping to keep prices of them up post challenge.

I'm curious how the economics of nfltopshot will pan out.

Semi-relatedly, I need to spend about $60 more to finish what I randomly started collecting (top 10 rebounders this season) and I'm not sure I feel like it. How does Ayton not have a 40k or 60k moment yet?

my NFL moments were all trash, and a 10000 size mint on commons suggest these won't jump in price nearly as much as NBA-T's series 1 stuff.

Do individual games really cause runs on those teams/players?

Every single moment I have ever owned has gone nowhere in price but down, consistently.

The tiered flash challenge absolutely did last night. Kevin Martin was up 50% because of it, and would have gone higher had the Kings won since it would have broken the Lebron/Verejao RIB bottleneck.

The difference is ~$1500, and basically every moment from that challenge went down afterwards since it basically made the hard challenge too expensive to complete if you didn't already have Lebron/Verejao. My Embiid throwdown dropped from 220 to 180 in about 20 minutes and Kevin Martin RIB went from 125 to 95.

I think it's usually pointless trying to chase on these flash challenges but yesterday I bought a Jarred Vanderbilt for $79 and now it's sitting at $270 as the sole bottleneck to Metallic Silver Evan Mobley haha. I cashed out at $219 but that's still pretty nice

I have a full T-Wolves set so held my Vanderbilt cause gimme da rookie. If it had hit 350 I was gonna sell, but figure the Mobley is gonna be close enough to the 200-250 dollar difference between Vanderbilt during and post challenge and I don't wanna deal with having to rebuy it.



Also, these NFL All Day drops are not fun! (who the gently caress is scotty miller?)

~last on the WR depth chart on the bucs, but could see big time with Godwin/AB done and Evans hurt

I got today's NFLAD drop and the 10K mint size for series 1 will really hurt it long term.

I can't wait for the marketplace to open but I doubt the 6 moments I've spent $98 on so far will return me my money.

I've mostly just been buying whatever packs I qualify for with my 700 collector score because is seems like all of the challenges are very expensive for someone with only ~50 moments.

Is there an easy way to know if a challenge can be completed without a huge investment? Or are there any other options for me to play this dumb speculation game without spending thousands?

Coming up on the one year anniversary of my topshot account I have a confession to make: I am actually enjoying collecting these mp4s. However, I also wish I could go back and tell myself that buying Thunder players was not the way to go long term.

Ya its honestly legit fun (and I've made like 10k which is cool). I've also managed to get a couple of friends involved and its pretty great keeping up with challenges and chatting about dunks.

Snagged a legendary... devonte graham. I've been pretty lucky in getting these legendaries but usually not lucky with the card. Got a Pat Connaughton from the Finals pack and got the second lowest value WNBA legendary too, Sylvia Fowles. Def gonna sell and get my money back lol, should still be a profit though.

I also got a Bane metallic gold so that's pretty cool. Wish the Bane was the legendary!

Didn't snag a legendary this time (6% chance isn't much!), but hoping to hit the #1 Lamelo MGLE to make up for it!
