NBA Topshot sent me to Discord as they gave updates on the trading card moments which are live videos of NBA players highlights which are on blockchain and are NFT. I was interested in this as Dapper Labs has built their own wallet for crypto wallet and only required a credit card. They didnt require you to have a stand alone crypto wallet which at the time I didnt have. I also had not yet bought any crypto coins. NBA topshot had giveaways and still do from time to time to have you setup on their website showcases to get coin credits or cards they call moments. nbatopshot cards I have received from fantasy leagues of $Whale @CavsTheBlockfan2016 on NBATopShot.com they also have packs that you can open if you are luck enough to get packs of the moments, you may have heard of them on the news rundown on CNBC if you watch that and other outlets for record sales in the millions for NFTs.
The market place is down on moment values over the last month and could be a good time to buy in if you havent yet started to collect. They had a large run in Jan of this year and are still in beta as they have issues with their high demands on packs they have to shut down their website to fill all orders.
There is a bit of up and down like stocks as it is a market and there are rare cards to get you can get a pack of rares at a higher price. I am not giving any financial advise in regard to NFT they are specualtion and risk like anything you buy for investments.
The above is a picture I took of the website. If you do jump into investment with NBA TopShot just be prepared that you might have to have the window open in line for hours and have it on in the background on your phone or laptop as you go through your day. They did just release an email to email you when its your turn to buy a pack a needed improvement. There is a whole environment that is setup around tracking serial numbers of the moments and their values along with graphs of the value for each moment, per player, per series, per serial number range. Evaluate Market I would suggest staring there to know what the values are if you do open packs and wonder what they are worth. They also say how many are yet to be released in packs.
They have many growing pains going on and have been at it for months but have been injected with investors cash and signed the deal with NFL so they are likely to be around I belive. The customer service is lacking but hopefully they will get there. Their launch was a bump the all star weekend their chance of fans playing along with the players and collecting the site was done for example. There are also NBA players that go on Twitch and open packs and have collections they make on the site and as players tweet and spread the word on social media the site is likely to grow as it is only about 50 players interacting so far but #NBATopShot this is a going on with Twiter and can have a chance to be made into a card/moment this increases fan interactions I have always been interested in new marketing and seeing new avenues for marketing like this and applications test use cases.
ESPN has talked of them as well and I suspect that will roll out more with highlights on sportscenter helping prices. They do challenges of series to collect for an additional moment which is interesting and will have a hardcourt game to use the cards along with possible burning of the tokens/moments to make them more rare if collectors decide to do so. There are many things that look promising and catalyst for growth. This is in cooperation of the creator of CryptoKitties which helped launch the largest NFT marketplace for trading Opensea.io topshot famous collector has now seen investors like social currency coin $Whale community to hold Ashton Kutcher and Mark Cuban pitches for the next NFT project. Whale community I found from Topshot as well as their fantasy league and found marblecards from the whale community list of events.
