Can't get packs unless you have a super expensive collection or are a new sign up. Haven't been able to get anything new since before the Finals.

Obviously not much is dropping now in the offseason, but I'm also not looking to pump thousands of dollars into the marketplace just to bump my score a few points to be eligible for a pack.

Needs to be something for the mid level user here too, as of now, I've lost interest.

There was a $9 pack last week that actually had a chance of some decent moments in there. If you are talking about wanting to get 200% EV on a pack yeah those days are over. It's annoying to require high requirements for the +EV packs but it's also necessary to avoid the pack flippers that plagued topshot during the fall.

Nah I'm not looking for the money grabs, just some new packs to open that don't require 5k collector scores.

I completely overlooked last week's offering as I had given up on visiting the site recently, my bad there.

Gotcha, yeah I think we will definitely go back to seeing more cheap packs when series 3 starts up (also this WNBA stuff). It's a hard balance between people wanting obtainable packs and people complaining about releasing to many moments. Hoping they can nail it with series 3.

And those packs were loaded with 4k & 12k TSD

What is going on?
Feels like Jan and Feb TopShot. A good thing.

Anybody cashed out using a Meta Mask Wallet? Is the fee to transfer from meta mask to a bank account higher than $20? Thanks

It is, but if u want to make the priority queue, non-new users have to buy it.

It's the off-season. For real though, a few factors that cross my mind is....the rise and fall of TS mirror bitcoin's rise and fall. They are going mainstream soon. NBA player's actually dig collecting their own highlights. And yeah, It's the off-season.

I don't agree with this take at all.

The Playoff drops were at a mid tier number thwt got everyone involved. The challenges were some of the most affordable yet.

I feel like if people really want to bust $1k high end packs, then they have the money to build CS. Add in that even us pkebs down the bottom have a snall chance now.

I'm dying for the RIB release which I think will be in line with the PO pack drops /10k.

The offseason low created incredible buying opportunity as everyone expected. I just don't think we expected to have such a short window.

I would call myself a mid level user and have a top 4% account without a whole lot of work. I just flipped PO momes mostly.

This helps make sure that people in it are in it because they want to be in it thou which is great. I am hoping they take everything they learned from series 2 and are very careful about the series 3 rollout. Holding my collection longterm and plan to add along the way when moments drop that I like.

I also made 100x returns on other NFT's over the last few months. Not meant to be a brag but meant to show you that while the outside world thought nfts were dead, there is more than meets the eye.

Oh man. You nailed that trade. Not sure what exactly you gave up though.

But the S1 LeBron and the Zion Debut (my number 1 want that I'll now never get) are straight fire.

I cashed out to a Meta Mask wallet but am wishing I just did it to a bank account. The gas fees and transferring to the bank will end up costing me more than $20 I think.

Lol yeah the thing I gave up is still worth around the same it was so it is essentially still $3000 in value that I traded away. I was actually supposed to get the vince carter (one of my dream moments) also but he had it listed so it was untraded for 7 days so I got the RJB+chris paul first moments instead.

Zion Debut is awesome, but same boat.
If i spend that much money, I'm buying a few legendary to boost my score.

Everything is rising though, wanted a Steph SS but that's 140 now. Missed one a few days ago at 88 because I didn't have enough in Dapper.

Anyone have any idea on what collectors they might require for this? I'm only at 500.

Thank you for your help. That is what I figured.

Anyone land one of the Playoff packs from the last challenge? The random generator denied me again (I'm 0 for a lot at this point), but they had 10,000 packs to give away. A lot of folks must have completed the challenge.

[sandlotsportcards]

I landed a pack. Mine had MPJ /40000, Mike James /12000, and Playoff Bam

[TFCNB]

I got a pack from the showcase challenge

Porzingus /35K, Armoni Brooks /12K and Dillon Brooks playoff

Edit: No good serial #s

TS staff activity is actually bearable now. They keep engaged but not over doing drops and challenges, which is great. Hope the can stay at this low activity until season is 1 month away.

I know one dude that is raking it right now.


Good luck, and good moves.

If I had to guess I would bet they try and do different tiers of packs. RIB commons, RIB rares and RIB legendaries. Either way though I expect them to do tiered queues as well so everyone technically has a chance at the pack but the higher your CS the better your chances are.

I got a pack, they did tweet out they had more than 10K submissions though so don’t feel too bad

Anyone into the MLB Champions NFTs? Just discovered them and they're pretty cool as a collectible. Going crazy today, up 250%.

Not bad so far, the market moves up, a WNBA pack drop in a few days and a Run it Back set coming up....

I just paid $140 for a Steph SS because I think it'll hit $200+ pretty easily soon.

I do wish I grabbed 2 of them a couple of weeks back though.

No idea, I'm at less of a score than you, just not worth chasing IMO. Well, depends on funds I guess. It's a strange system. I have a top 4% account but a measly CS.

I think this is accurate. I hope.

Would love to see a RIB series similar to the PO series drop.

Would also love to see a Rare drop /2k
