  • NBA Top Shot (and NFT) discussion

    If you don't know, NBA Top Shot is a virtual basketball card "game" that has been blowing up. You buy packs, usually like $9, and then can resell the digital cards (some that are more rare than others) that are inside the packs. You can also pull a "moment" which is a basically a video clip.

    I am very new to this, but my understanding is if you can buy a pack, do it. They sell out really quickly so they're hard to get, but it's basically impossible to lose money just buying a pack. You can pretty easily pull a card worth several hundred from a pack, and they're easy to resell on the marketplace. Also, prices of the cards have been going crazy. There's a bunch of cards going for five figures. You can pull a "moment" worth $100k from a $9 pack.

    Here's a good article from a sharp guy who paid $35k for a Ja Morant "moment".

    I have purchased this Jaren Jackson Jr card (based on a WillieMcFML tip) for $680 as a bit of a test to see how this works. Godspeed.

      And if you think that is dumb, "crypto punks" that were selling for $2k a month ago are now going for $20k. This one just sold for $1.2 million (!!!)

          like i literally reached out to my photographer / fine art friends about this shit and none of them were even remotely interested so right there, i know its going to be huge because when my generation sleeps on something, its a mortal lock.

            Of course, half the fun is pissing off the older generation.

            NBA players are getting in to it. Josh Hart was just in the discord chat (with open DMs lol). He's going to be opening some packs on twitch tomorrow.

                  If Bryan Micon is getting involved with something, you should absolutely be paying attention.

                    I have made a Series B investment and picked up a #81 Kyrie Irving s1 /499 for $2,000. Let's see what happens.

                    I don’t know who this is btw. I’ve been told he’s good

                      How do you know when new packs are released? I keep checking but always sold out whenever I check.

                        They usually give you a heads up beforehand for bigger drops, though they can randomly drop without much notice. When they drop you click "get in queue" and then your order in the queue gets randomized. So from there it's just luck if you got a low enough queue #. Because your place in the queue is randomized, you don't have to be lightning quick, you just have to get lucky. There really hasn't been a drop lately, outside of a small stress test. I'm hoping there will be a drop tonight. I can post in here if I hear there's about to be a drop.

                          Thanks. Interested in throwing some $ at this to see what happens.
