STOP TALKING PRICES and just collect....

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.

Yeah they will, I just wanted to get something nice with the balance I have left, so was just bummed I missed some of the cheaper ones. And yeah, lets hope the tier system is nice to us for RIB!

Seeing Stars is one of my favorites. I was glad I grabbed a Luka a couple weeks ago before this run up in prices. Now that you mention it, I wish I would've bought a few more, but I haven't really been doubling up on any moments.

Its the same thing as physical cards you can invest or collect but if you don't even have interest in the product at all its kinda lame. I have a portion i collect and a portion I hope to flip down the line for dream moments.

I would think that is what everyone does.
But there is a sheep pumper here from the upside down world that does not.

This is what bothers me. I too have a top 10% account yet my CS is also low and I feel zero motivation to chase packs now. Even the queues are terrible and a waste of time for anyone w/o a high CS

Yeah its an interesting problem because half the people complain about too much supply and then the other half complain they can't get any packs.

I'm jumping back into TS for WNBA pax. Yeah, only new users get the Aja moment, but I'm assuming some will end up on the market. Definitely going to try for a pack on Friday - we'll see how it goes...

I’ll try for the pack too. Actually sent a link to a friend who likes to gamble on these kinds of things to create an account and get the moment.

These kinds of things are what I want to see more of for Top Shot. Less scrubs, more unique things like this or heck, if they got any kind of legends contract done.

Kind of curious about his too. I read yesterday following some TS wormhole that AI, Shaq, and Tmac were supposedly confirmed for next RIB. They already had Duncan and Dirk in the 1st RIB. Did they have to work out something separate with them, or because they have deal with NBA they have ability to use NBA's whole catalog of video? Were video rights ever discussed somewhere on here?

Yeah...I'm looking for a Lisa Leslie dunk moment.

ClipsandVols · 08-26-2021, 11:49 AM

Gonna gobble up all those Izzy Harrison moments!

Separate deals with retired players who aren't active in the players association. Just like Panini NFT or cardboard.

Hey Zeus!

Those first timer A'ja moments are going for insane amounts right now!

It will be interesting to see what happens with them after the drop tomorrow.

I feel like there is a passing of the torch right now between the new WNBA players and the ole vets. I may as well grab a few since they are there.

Probably go down to the common type prices. $200+ is a bit ridiculous just to guarantee a pack. BUT it is a really good idea for once.

$300+ for an A'Ja moment currently. At the very least, it would seem there will be significant interest in these packs tomorrow.
No matter what you think of WNBA, this has to be bringing attention to the platform.

Eckstein197 · 08-26-2021, 01:52 PM

Regardless what you think of the WNBA, the NFT space for women is pretty popular. I think this will bring in a nice batch of new people

300+ for this Wilson moment is insane though

boxbuster7 · 08-26-2021, 03:04 PM

If my friend signs up is there a chance he gets the wilson moment? Or have they already been distributed?

Yes, your friend will get a Wilson moment today as a new sign up.

pyrexswerve · 08-26-2021, 03:29 PM

Wilson will drop once the pack drop happens. People just buying to secure a queue spot & like 10k of them are still in packs.

It being the first WNBA moment might help it sustain some momentum but yeah, the current prices are out of control.

I thought RIB was from season 13/14 again?

None of those guys were playing that season.

I'd be more than happy to see them go earlier than that though..mid 00s would.be awesome.
