Thanks for the website. Looks like 1 of my 3 cards aren't showing up there yet but out of the other two I've got a ~$195 banger and a ~$9. Will probably sell the 2 cheaper cards and let the banger ride for now.

So after reading the thread it seems like it may be a very very long time until I get to buy a pack. I swear this is the dumbest thing, but it also doesn’t seem to be at the collapse point, but eh if I get any cards, it seems like a decent potential market...I just have clue why people wants this...although I guess it’s cool that you never have to worry about the card getting damaged.

you can try tonight at 5pst/8est and you'll have like a 25% chance maybe to get one. I don't know when the next one will go for sale after that, maybe tomorrow because they were gonna do 3 drops of this Seeing Stars $14 pack

Same time I heard about Top Shot I also heard of a site where you can buy shares in cards, like buying 25% of a Zion rookie card. That’s also bananas.

I think from the three drops this weekend, you are limited to only buying one, so you should have a decent chance at snagging a pack.

Far more then me. With any luck people will miss their email. Granted I’m assuming that by 20 minutes in all those originally eligible have had their chance and whatever leftovers go to the next in the queue and so on until none are left, right? Basically by 20-40 minutes it should be vastly complete, right?

Edit: for a generation raised on buying stuff that is available in limited quantities online...people are taking their drat time. lol

I was able to get a pack in the first drop today.

I got:

Anthony Davis dunk [Seeing Stars] (#4485/10000)

Donovan Mitchell dunk [Base Set] (#16959/35000+)

Malcolm Brogdon 3 pointer [Base Set] (#4367/35000+)

So... are these good? How do I tell if they are worth anything?

Should I try to sell them immediately, or wait until the rush of sales from this drop slows down?

Just got mine from the 5 PM drop. I got:

James Harden Handles 1151/10,000

Deandre Jordan - Dunk 7538/35,000

Josh Okogie (?) - Assist 14,172/35,000

Seems like the Harden one might be worth a little something? Ones with similar serial #s seems to list for $400-600. No idea if that means anyone is paying that.

what does “worth” mean here when people can list these cards for whatever they want. is that going by the minimum listing or something?

It doesn't mean poo poo! That's why this is so dumb. But yes you can look at the lowest ask, or look at the prices around your serial #

Here's my example: https://evaluate.market/editions?editionGuid=8b4d53eb-52d2-43a2-a996-68870d345065

In my experience you can sell for $5 less than current minimum and in most cases sell immediately so I am using that as value of the card.

Low serials typical fetch more but it's not really so clear as #1200 is better than #1500. It's more that the number of digits matter. A #245 often sells for more than a #1245 but you have to find a buyer who believes there's value there.

Yeah, I advise people to not sell unless you're selling to flip for a better card. Like I wrote earlier, I missed out on like $900 because I sold my Cool Cats way too quick when it was like near $100 and then came challenges later on in the week where people need to collect certain cards and that same Cousins card was worth way more. Unless you can cash out, there's no real incentive to move things unless you know it's the highest it will ever get.

The regular marketplace is just as wild with the common cards. Seen Zubac as low as $8 and as high as $60 in the same week (after he Tweeted about it), and was just like $30 a few days ago after hitting that $8 mark. Buying really low cards could benefit people if they scoop a bunch of $3 cards of decent players and then suddenly the next week they're in the 20s or 30s. At least with the cards prior to this latest pack, not sure how the /35000 will affect all of that.

I bought Zubac and Ibaka dunks for $1 each as a joke since they were the cheapest I could buy when I first registered. I think they both went up to $20+ for a while.

Im just worried that people will realize these things have absolutely zero value, and my card that I could have sold for a few hundred dollars suddenly becomes worth 50 cents.

Yeah, I get that. Sometimes any profit is good profit but also not holding on to certain cards does sting. As long as there is demand though there is going to be some inherent value. At some point I think prices are going to go way down and stay there, but the fact that there's so many people trying to get in makes it harder to gauge when/if that will happen. For instance, a lot of people were panic selling LaVine at 150-160 just two hours ago and now it's $244. May go down again tomorrow but being patient even for a few hours is smart at times

Seems like a lot of new members sell as soon as they get their first pack (that’s what I did) so the market gets a bit flooded. Like the Luka highlight went down to $650 for a bit as people sold and now it’s back up to $850.

Would be nice to compare different approaches and see what’s working.

The same can be said about any collectable, artwork, precious metal, or crypto currency though. It's all human constructs all the way down. Our grand parents would have thought it inconceivable that pieces of cardboard with pictures of baseball players on them would be valuable.

I don’t see any reason to hold onto base commons that are uncapped with possible reprints (CC).

I plan on holding onto my LEs for a while to see what happens. I’m curious to see how much demand there will be for cards not part of the “challenges”

Now that I’m hooked, someone convince me that trying to corner a card is a dumb idea. There is a base set 2 Drummond dunk with a cap of 15k. 50 sellers right now between $16-25 and approx 1000 sellers total. For like a grand I could buy everything less than $25. If I could sell them all for $25 then the move would be slightly profitable after 5% selling fee.

The Luka card was going at about 900 yesterday and is about 675 now. I’ll wait until at least the ASG to see if anything good happens to pump up the prices before selling. If topshot gets talked up there I guess that’d get everyone buying more.
