Top Shot Market must have brought in a ton of cash today. Some of these moments (especially Season 2 4,000 mint LE rookies) have went up 25% to 35% in the last 24 hours. The Holo Challenge with Trae as the reward has went from below $18K to over $24K to complete in a couple of days.
I know this is mostly for sports cards, but do any of you collect MLB jerseys/caps? I picked this up recently: a team-issued 2000 Tony Liska Pittsburgh Pirates Road Jersey.
I registered for a top shot account because the idea is interesting to me. Do they just rarely drop packs you can buy? Nothing is available
Pretty much. Cool cats you get 4 base moments and 1 cool cats. I flipped my cool cat moment for $250 and was able to sell 3/4 of my base moments
All packs at this time have a higher expected value than the cost. It’s just a matter of being lucky on the system they use at that drop. They had a $999 Legendary pack drop and those packs would be $2,500 minimum value. Common packs can definitely be three duds but enough of a chance at a LE Rookie or star, that it is worth it. If this is your first time then I suggest you buy a cheap moment ($2) on the marketplace on your credit card. It will probably get turned down and you will then need to approve it to try again. Going forward there won’t be any issues ( other than a daily limit from credit card). This way if you are in line, you won’t have a payment issue. You are pretty much guaranteed at least $150 in the Cool Cat pack from the $15 price. 45,000 packs and a user base of somewhere around that at the moment will make it likely to get a pack unless there is some type of queue system issue (those have been pretty regular).
No, Cool Cats are players with a theme (this one is UK players). But there are digital cards of cats called Cryptokitties that was the first NFT (non-fungible token) that the NBA Top Shot Team worked on. All-time sales there are over $29 M. https://www.cryptokitties.co/
Which boxes should we look to buy currently? I could resale the cards if I open or just buy and sell at face value to someone in this thread. My wife works next to a Target and can stop by anytime.
I have invested a very small amount in NBA TS and it's been fun so far. I completed the initial CC challenge and got my Luka. I'm holding my moments to see where it goes.
I’m also vey interested in some Donruss optic. Will pay for shipping and her time. I’m just not in the mood anymore to pay a few hundred to get in a break and get skunked or $80 a blaster. I got lucky and I’ve stashed away 6 Prizm blasters and 2 mosaic blasters. Hopefully those skyrocket in a few years and can sell for a few hundred a piece.
Logan Paul bought 6 of the 1st edition Pokemon Booster boxes for a total of 2 million. It blows my mind that people buy these boxes and are able to leave them in their closet for 21 years.
I'm currently talking in PM with strike about a trade. If anyone has any cool Detroit cards and wants to trade, I probably have some stuff on most rookies from the past year in baseball (bowman, draft, topps, etc) or if you looking for some guys and don't want to trade shoot me a PM. Makes more sense to stuff like this instead of on ebay who is taking more and more of the money.
Good idea. That Ball moment reward is going to be going for $2K at the very least after it is rewarded. I got a terrific # Luka for my reward (#778), sold it for a 50% premium and bought one in the 500’s for $400 less five minutes later. You just never know what #’s are going to appeal more to some collectors.
Tried buying a $2 Jonas valanciunas dunk, got declined, so I just need to call my credit card company to tell them to allow purchases to top shot?
Go to the front page and hit the Cool Cats pack, then when you go to that page hit the buy button and it should put you in a waiting room. I have a clock ticking down now. When it gets to 8 PM ET it will randomly assign you a number in the queue. Don’t leave that page or try again to get another number in line.
There's 45,000 packs so yes, you good* *Unless there's a glitch in the system that people find and exploit early like last time lol
