The rewards from the first-ever Crafting Challenge just went out. Here's how the Challenge made Moments across Top Shot more scarce ⤵️ https://t.co/wv8k9FhvJb

We are keeping the price at 350 TT because we want the Series 1 Moments to go to the people who want them most and lowering prices will encourage more quick flipping. Additionally, leaving the price at 350 TT will remove more supply from circulation, benefitting everyone.

Deeper dive. Here's how the Legendaries looked this week 👀

I do plan to tweet more often from this account, in a more respectful and helpful manner, and engage with the community. I look forward to it.

[The Top Shot Economist @TopShotEcon]

I want to apologize for the tone of my tweet last night. I am sorry and acknowledge that what I said was rude to our community. I did not mean to push blame onto others.

This is why we're revamping Collector Score. But we know how important it is to get right, so we're still working through it and will provide an updated ETA as soon as we have one.

@TopShotEcon @AG_NBA_ @TS_DRLB @roham @nbatopshot I used to spend hours daily trying to make “good trading decisions”. But when the goal posts move constantly, it’s an impossible feat. It’s exhausting.

Additionally, the more I read this comment from the economist the more I realize he/she doesn’t get it

[The Top Shot Economist @TopShotEcon]

@AG_NBA_ @TS_DRLB @roham @nbatopshot Every sustainable collector economy has fandom or utility at its core. The stronger the core of fandom, the more sustainable and long-term investible the economy. It is true that not every asset in a healthy economy can be "up only" –– that's where good trading decisions come in.

The Top Shot market has been trending steadily upwards. I'm no hype man, but I am The Economist. And I wanted to provide a few thoughts and data points on trends I'm seeing take shape.

While Fandom tier's debuting with in-arena Moments in Vegas, it'll also include other Moments like Quest rewards, promotional Moments, airdrops & more.
Because we know fandom knows no bounds.

When we say we’re building NBA Top Shot to be the future of fandom, we mean it.

We’re excited to unveil a new, dynamic, fan-driven tier called Fandom tier -- sitting between common and rare, driven by love of the game and Top Shot events.
