If I trade in my moments and don't get lucky, then I did it for nothing.

They are doing locker room packs on Friday with legends in them. So they are definitely thinking about what you said.

I thought it was thurday

TS always does things to late. Why dont they just do things at the right time? Not when everyone is already pissed off and left the platform.

Thats the regular drop. 60 trade in tickets for a pack with a guaranteed rare, some commons & a 5% chance of legend.

Friday is a locker room pack, 4 tickets. Odds much slimmer im sure.

Yeah, but if I understand correctly, you'll need to get lucky enough to be selected for a pack in order to be able to trade in tickets, no?

"Top Shot" and "Making things overly confusing"

Name a more iconic duo.

Money isn't flowing anymore. Hitting the panic button

[rifleman69]

The panic button is the coin that is tied to Dapper. If that goes kaput....goodbye moments!

Ok Thanks. I just realised I only had 45 at the time so it was saying not eligible.

I ended up getting a pack.

Of Jermai Grant MGLE.

TS was so close to getting me back in. The 60 trade tickets were worth at least double.

Saw this comment on Reddit, sounds very familiar:

I think there is just less interest during the off-season, along with a overall depressed crypto market. I think interest will pick up again as the season nears.

I mean yeah, the drop today i think there were 5k packs in each queue & i'm sure tomorrow there will be a limited supply as well.

They won't have anything readily available for people if they miss out on these two drops, as their goal i believe is just to make sure people have options to use trade tickets, not that they can use them when they want.

Having access to something at will, which this season showed, has been disastrous for TS when talking about moments in the marketplace & overproduction.

Which is funny because a lot of people here said this should be the end goal.

Honestly, I'm not sure there's much they could have done to keep people interested. To me, their biggest fail will always be the Collector Score. That turned away any new users and was clearly designed to keep the whales happy.

I think the whales being the focus has been their downfall so far. Not enough focus on the average joe who was spending their own money in the platform, but protecting their top tier accounts who spent $200 bucks and turned it into $200K.

Also, 485k locker room packs tomorrow, per this reddit post from dapper, so guess I was wrong. They take away all these moments and are just pumping them right back in the market. SMH

Dapper should have made ONE platform like Panini NFT (basketball, Football and UFC)

NO OFF season minting of sports and Just move to the next sport. Dapper is destroying all their platforms with 24/7/365 minting on all platforms, killing everything and anything their other platform is doing.

What was i thinking? The people that started TS are CryptoCitties people. A small group that pumped up citties selling to each other. Rinse and repeat

So sad to see TS going in the direction it is. Dont know what they can do at this point, Even with a perfect plan, nothing matters if nobody is on the Platform.

That last part is what's the most concerning. Your assets all exist on a Dapper owned blockchain. Not to mention the actual videos exist on Dapper's servers and not on a blockchain at all.

I'm of the idea that they were screwed anyways.

Piss of the whales? They'll cash out ASAP when Dapper didn't have the liquidity (remember those days when it took weeks to get verified?). Open up to lawsuits and eventually hand out the money.

Pamper to them? Well, it's what is happening.

I've said it before but so far, I think the actual millionaires from this thing is really low. If anything, the people that bank the most are the ones like grade who got in early and got 6 figures from it.

I did not cash out 6 figures with TS. (i did roll the profit into 6 fig with other NFT from TS profits).

You are right though, Not many are millionaires , There are ports in the millions but actual cash out are more in the low to mid 6 figures .

My port hit $300,000+ but TS would not cash me out for months with a high dapper balance (my friends with small balances that i got to join could cash out months before i could). That is when i thought it was all play money. So i bought back into TS to lower my Dapper balance, then i was allowed to cash out $3000 at a time, took months go cash out.

Got booted out of the TS discord many times for posting my actual experience, Just telling the truth.

Currently TS is running smooth, cash outs are fast, platform is smooth . Just to complicated for new money and users to start. Dapper got their hundreds of millions and they might not really care at this point.

I did not know that part of the story. That's crazy.

I am grateful for the opportunity TS gave me.

But many things TS/Dapper/whales did at the beginning was really shady and even border criminal. Discord was wild and everyone that pointed out the shady things got BOOTED from the TS discord.

Wish i screen shot all the discussions and posts in the early days, was crazy manipulation going on.

I had no affiliation with TS, all posts on the first few pages of this thread was genuine. , Was a new user on TS.and seen potential with the TS concept. Wanted everyone to get in early cause it was SPORTSCARD RELATED. BUT as time went by , i did make money but seen what was going on and became more negative (even with a valuable port) because of what i seen going on in the Discord.

One of the most interesting things i looked into at the beginning, "why did Dapper set up in Canada?" That was the beginning of my suspicions

Dapper is also on the hook for the EPL license ($300M or so) and they haven’t even started with LaLiga yet, wonder how that’s going in the current market with two more platforms and Soccer (especially Europeans) not so much used to collectibles and investments.

Sorare is successful, but a totally different platform (fantasy sports).

I haven't looked deeply into Sorare, remember seeing them on OpenSea early on and heard the COO on Sports Cards Nonsense, but having an actual game attached is so much more appealing to me.

Oh wait, forgot about Top Shot Hard Court
