They could’ve easily sold like 10k plus packs today and earn way more if they’d just want to cash in fast.

With the website crashing, these being 300packs only is an illusion

We will see on Friday. They might have reserved packs as well. No idea, but not posting pack runs is weird.

So why are these so popular?? You pay real money for a digital/imaginary NFT that you can't physically hold and technically don't own the rights to, but can sell them out of your wallet/account. Has anyone actually cashed out real money with these NFT things???

I have $2000 in Top Shot balance that I could cash out of right now with a $14 pack purchase. I have $4000 in Topps NFT's and WAX that I could cash out as well with an initial $260 balance. NFT's are just like real cards IMO. Good for short term flips, but long term holds aren't that good just like real cards.

Where have you been? hahahaha, there's lots of people that have done really well with NFT's. Personally i've cashed out 2K+ at a buy in of $200 and kept enough in my balance to keep buying packs (Top Shot).
Do you hold stocks or your 401K? The money in your bank account? I'm not a big fan of these NFT cards (I do like Top Shot and their highlight format) but I get it. Imagine kids taking their phone to school and showing them to their friends. Everything is digital now. Look how popular games like Roblox are for their virtual interactions.

They already can do that on an app called "youtube". For free.

Can just scan a diploma and you're a Harvard graduate, too. Logic is fun.

I personally made money and cashed out with Top Shot. I know others that did as well. Generally, those that got into Top Shot early did well.

So why even go to college? Everything is free on YouTube and google!

I really don’t get why some people spent some much time on hating?

Not every job out there needs a college education, there's plenty of 6 figure jobs out there that really only need some trade school that you can continuously take to up your knowledge as well as actual hands-on grunt work.

Not really sure how that relates to showing kids on a phone a "moment" but YMMV.

With the aid of my custom generated mouse script (psuedo botboi tech for non-accredited chefs), was able to nab 2 pax.

Didn't come until much later though. My order numbers were #181 and #295. The second order came literally moments before the 'product not available' popup, so it gives additional credence to the 300 pr guesstimate.

This definitely felt like it may have been a throttled release. Wouldn't be their first time. IIRC they did this with a few FOTL drops that lasted longer than usual. Not sure if intentional or due to server downtime.

These red mosaics seem to have stuck around for around an hour before sellout. Which would calculate to around 5 packs released per minute.

HODL.

Real Clecters will rip them packs and hold Ish Smith for at least three decades. Red Mosaic Prizms will be the new currency of the New World Order.

I always open packs and it would be absolutely idiotic to open on of these if there is only 300. I have no idea how these will look unless someone opens up and posts them. My pack will stay sealed until I can sell packs or if I make a bad decision on a whiskey night.
