    They are releasing a Run It Back set based on the year Philly played the Lakers in the Finals (2000-2001). Have already announced Shaq, Iverson and McGrady moments. But even so, they can continue to tank unless their Hardcourt game is released and is actually good. I have doubts that will be the case and would have had much better confidence in a simulation type game based on moments and rarity. It’s very difficult to make a good arcade style sports game on a mobile device IMO in a short amount of time.

    They changed breeding in Zed so now there will be significantly fewer offspring. Sucks for people trying to get in but good value for those who have it.

    Breeding starts mid-June so we all will just have to wait for space horseys until then

    literally all of us are profitable and it would be essentially impossible for most of us to lose money at this point. So you should maybe start coming to terms with it (or go back to the crypto thread)

    I put in I think a grand total of $90.

    I withdrew $250. I have $108 in my account. Account is valued ~$350. I have like 9 unopened packs I'm letting sit.

    I'm fine with how the whole TopShot experience went/could still go.

    Put in $14. Dapper balance is now $902

    If this thing goes under, that's a pretty good ROI. Paid for 3 weeks of daycare :rain:

    I think you guys are confused about what I want to see happen. I'm fine if you made money early on, I want the whole blockchain cards thing to faceplant. I want the value to plummet and people leave the space and become uninterested. That's where my bet is.

    Baseball cards popularity basically increased for a 100 years before the 90's collapse. You're gonna tell me the popularity of some 3 sec clip of a random assist in a meaningless game shouldn't be expected to last? Sounds to me like we're on the same page and you agree with me.

    If you can get a horse in the drop you should at least 3x your investment immediately if you want to flip. The cheapest horse will cost you about $200 including fees and is going for about $900 right now.

    If you want to get involved in races and breeding I would suggest at least $500 investment, which will give you about $425-450 after ETH and Zed fees (depending on how busy the market is...you have to pay fees to transfer based on demand).

    With that you can get one of the cheaper horses ($140 or $240 likely) and then can pay to breed and race

    Big fan of new stuff, just as long as that new stuff doesn't suck. When card companies started placing inserts in random packs that was great. When they started putting autographs in packs that was awesome. When they started numbering cards, adding relics, etc.

    Wild Card tried something new this year by doing 'Thumbgraphs'. I think they're dumb but respect the effort.

    Cards and topshots are both inherently worthless. Top Shot could be doing all those things too, the tech isn't the problem it's the people who run it

    There are no inserts/surprises. They could partner with Cameo and if you pull certain cards you get a video message from the player. They could allow trades. So many things they could do.

    Why not use the horse I get in the drop?

    The collection of horses from the drop are tremendously valuable (as mentioned, 3x your initial investment). Racing them and finding out they're bad racers really hurts its value both as a horse and as a breeder. Much like trading cards, there is a premium for the unknown

    If you want to race the one you have, be my guest though

    Got it. Better to spend money on a known quantity than role the dice and hope to strike gold.
