Cool, nice to see so many people are going to be able to get this drop.

I’m fully expecting to get the most worthless cards possible of course.

That said it seems that even poo poo packs still can generate a positive ROI.

I will say I’m happy with how this company set up the queue stuff and how you don’t have to worry about refreshing things or keeping the page constantly open, and they have time stamped updates on the countdown and how many are left. That is really cool.

My Sabonis one seems to be around $250 for the serial number...that’s a really nice return.

Assuming someone will eventually buy it and the price doesn’t collapse before it can be sold.

The other cards seem to be like $7 bucks or so.

Still seems like a really nice return possibly.

All the seeing stars highlights seemed to be priced decent due to limited release. I sold my Nance for $7 because there are over 35k more out there.

I’m trying to hold out for a little bit of premium on a Sexton 3pter due to low serial but may try to just sell it quick as well

nope, you list your moment and choose your price up to $250,000.

on the buy side you choose a moment and then a serial number and pay that cost.

you can sort to find the cheapest if you don't care about serial.

The packs are always a good return on investment, at least so far. Since you’re only paying $3-$5 for a basic pack and even the boring moments sell for twice that.

Yeah, my only concern is this super unsustainable, but then again they seem to want to ensure that the doesn’t happen for awhile. That said at the least this packet is probably worth like $250 so I’m not complaining.

A part of me wants that $199 rising stars tomorrow, but I also don’t want my wife to kill me, so I’ll just grab two of the lower packs when that happens with the remaining dapper balance I have. Though if I could flip this, that would pay for it. I’m just wondering if that pack is possible safe investment since the prices is so much higher.

Yes, that's brand new. i guess they're worried about fake users/bots jumping the queue on this next one. They said this is to help "true collectors." That's also why they turned off gifting, so you can't just get someone else pack-eligible

Makes sense people would be running bots on there if it's possible. I wonder how many of a given queue were bots?

I’ll be interested if my card sells for $225 once the marketplace opens again. I mean look how fast sales were occurring before the marketplace got closed.

They've got the $200 - er, I mean $199 pack drop later today, so I guess extended maintenance? I've been trying to put something up for sale since ~7pm last night and it is a bit annoying.

Back down, but the Sabonis is now a minimum $134. So perhaps I will get a sale when it goes back on.

Also judging by the weird purchase trends I wonder how many are boys?

they claim in various places that they're uncovering and fixing software bugs, which is strange cause I thought they'd already have ironed these out with cryptokitties. They're understandably concerned with botting too.


my hunch is the NBA has Dapper on a short leash re: coming afoul of any KYC or AML laws. I've seen a bunch of accounts with only a single moment they've spent $50,000 on.

I mean... that's a good thing. The NBA has a reputation to protect, and keeping some BS crypto people to strict standards is a good way to avoid an incident where people's accounts get hacked or balance stolen or some poo poo.

They have been turning things on and off a lot since I joined a month ago - the site is still in beta so that's the price we pay for being in early.

Would be nice if they gave everyone a reward for helping them beta test.

I mean our reward is these worthless things we are buying sell for hundreds of dollars. By the time it’s fully open to millions of people nothing will be worth anything.

Apparently the league has a group of owners who are now officially a crypto advisory board or something? This is all so dumb lol

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.
