Was like 50k in line so plenty good...then the Lightning game started and I totally forgot and lost my spot. Oh well.Anyone else in line for today's Hustle and Show packs?

It’s quite amazing that this is a common view but the complete opposite also is. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground. My buddy keeps saying yesterday was the bottom.Craig_MiamiFL said:Offering $50 to new sign ups that buy moment.
Trying to rid of the $1 moments that are starting to flood the marketplace. They already decreased the min from $2 to now $1. Wont be long before it's a quarter Once the packs became money losers, they were done for. There's zero market for individual moments
I disagree wholeheartedly with your buddy.It’s quite amazing that this is a common view but the complete opposite also is. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground. My buddy keeps saying yesterday was the bottom.
Like they started “marketing” today, so the shills are out in force loving it. From what I can gather, it’s social media driven (ads on FB, etc) and they’re getting verified accounts on Twitter with large followings to bring in new users. I’d love to know what those people are getting in return. Apparently this is the passive approach. Aggressive marketing will be post Beta. Whatever that means.
Yep, it says 78,750 packs are left and the drop has ended.Reportedly were 80k packs still available with this latest drop that ended this AM.
I passed on it. Was near a guaranteed money loser unless pulled a Bron, Lamelo (for now). There's $9-10 Curry's available in marketplace. Most all else going in the $1-3 range.
I think you should open.hmmm, so now to open my unopened packs and try to get what I can back out of them, or HODL?
It's about 33%.Yikes
I'm keeping sealed to see the landscape when they are able to be sold sealed. TS isn't going anywhere anytime that soon. At least until the first agreement with the NBA dries up in a couple years.hmmm, so now to open my unopened packs and try to get what I can back out of them, or HODL?
Yeah, kinda my thinking as well. I'm freerolling what I have left on TS now anyway.I'm keeping sealed to see the landscape when they are able to be sold sealed. TS isn't going anywhere anytime that soon. At least until the first agreement with the NBA dries up in a couple years.
That said, mine were almost all purchased from the sales of two moments minus my initial investment of like $30.
I'm not sure why you think the value of unopened packs is going to increase significantly, when the value of the cards in those packs is dropping rapidly, and new drops of similar packages aren't even selling out.I'm keeping sealed to see the landscape when they are able to be sold sealed.

I think I am down 3 dollars.Yeah, kinda my thinking as well. I'm freerolling what I have left on TS now anyway.
If you still have Magic's face of the franchise Gary Harris moment, I'll make this $2.95.I think I am down 3 dollars.
I don't think anyone thinks they're going to increase significantly but decline less rapidly due to the unknown. If able to sell unopened packs on marketplace in time, you'll have streamers wanting them for content (and they'll believe they'll make money back from donations streaming)I'm not sure why you think the value of unopened packs is going to increase significantly, when the value of the cards in those packs is dropping rapidly, and new drops of similar packages aren't even selling out.
I'm trying to convert as many of my cards for $$$$ as I can.
Yeah, I saw the first ad on FB today and the comments were not kind. The marketing (on FB at least) has completely backfired.It’s quite amazing that this is a common view but the complete opposite also is. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground. My buddy keeps saying yesterday was the bottom.

I don't think I said they're going to increase significantly, at least recently. I just think there is no point in ripping them now in a down market while essentially freerolling, so waiting to see what happens is the only other option. Ripping, hoping for a Lebron, and cashing out could be in the works at some point for me as well. Just ok with waiting.I'm not sure why you think the value of unopened packs is going to increase significantly, when the value of the cards in those packs is dropping rapidly, and new drops of similar packages aren't even selling out.

I really want to figure out the worst possible pack they'd retweet. If someone posts "STOKED to finally land these hot rookies!!" with a picture of their Jahmi'us Ramsey / Nico Mannion / Udoka Azubuike pack, would that be enough to land a sweet RT?I always laugh when TS Twitter asks "WHAT DID YOU RIP?"
And 95% of the responses are scrubs/benchwarmers like "Tacko Fall, Dewayne Dedmon, and Chandler Hutchinson"
It's actually quite sad watching the garbage they retweet now. I think they retweeted a Ricky Rubio RIP that MAY go for $1 on the marketplace.
Somebody posted a truly horrendous pack the other day, and they were mad about it, and top shot replied “for the love of the game “I really want to figure out the worst possible pack they'd retweet.

FWIW, my withdrawal to coinbase only took 3 days or so.Damn - 2 to 4 weeks to withdraw funds? Still slightly skeptical that I'll ever see the money, but at least the withdrawal fee dropped from $25 to $5 by sending to a crypto site.
Think that was one of the biggest issues. Beta or not, it shouldn’t be a circus to try and withdraw your money, especially when deposits were instantaneous. Felt scammy. Lebron no look 3 is a good gauge of the market IMO. Popular moment printed in bulk. Down to $199.Damn - 2 to 4 weeks to withdraw funds?

On the plus? side, people trying to get up to that score have driven the price of the low-value cards back up to $3-$4 for the momentShould just let TS (and this topic) die but saw they released "Premium Packs" today.
Required "Collector Score"? 2500 Someone smarter than me can calculate what you'd have/had to spend to be even eligible for these.
They've gotten so hot and bothered they disabled replies to their Twitter posts as well
Yeah that and the "free money" 'up to' $50 for new collectors and 'up to' $16 for old collectors got those $1 moments out a week or so ago.On the plus? side, people trying to get up to that score have driven the price of the low-value cards back up to $3-$4 for the moment
Why are they still doing this when the amount of customers has cooled off??Should just let TS (and this topic) die but saw they released "Premium Packs" today.

JFCAnd I think in the email they sent out, it said you have to have spent more money than you've made to qualify for those.
Right or wrong, I think they think they have a solid base. But it's already a conflicted base (s1 OGs vs Feb/Mar). Then you have the flippers and collectors who just can't be collector score 2500 type collectors. An overwhelming amount of these people, especially the Feb/Mar crew, want the flippers out and think TONS of the nba fans around the world simply don't know about TS and will make TS huge.Why are they still doing this when the amount of customers has cooled off??
There were also 250+ moments that generally go for around $3 or less bought at a $12 price point. One of mine was bought, a 40k Patty Mills for $12. I'm guessing TS gave these "influencers" the cash or some perk to do this. Then they are going to giveaway all the moments they bought back to the community. I'm sure that $12 has been reinvested in most cases already.Yeah that and the "free money" 'up to' $50 for new collectors and 'up to' $16 for old collectors got those $1 moments out a week or so ago.
Got to hand it to them....they're getting everything out of the sponge
There's just no real market for individual moments. Everything they're offering right now are money losers. I mean, if you're a hardcore collector of video clips, wonderful.
Spot. OnThere were also 250+ moments that generally go for around $3 or less bought at a $12 price point. One of mine was bought, a 40k Patty Mills for $12.

It's crazy to see so many people rave about this market increase, but fail to realize (or admit) it was not done organically. That's the problem with TS. It's all been manipulation and pumps.
I probably sound like a broken record in here.
