If you buy a case of physical cards you have the same odds of pulling a specific insert from a case box as if you were to buy a single box. Sure, keep the toppers and throw in a case hit or two, but to load it up with all the legos and parallels is kinda weird.
Can we stop loading cases all of a sudden and maybe equally distribute parallels to all packs? I do think cases should have some perks, but these last two drops have been very skewed.
@NBATopShot should immediately offer trade ticket conversion into non-withdrawable Dapper balance.
Start at $0.30 per TT and move the rate up as volume decreases. Long term, a trade ticket should always be redeemable for $1.00 in platform balance.
This would create a fun new mechanic while improving the economics of both the buy side and sell side - primary sales, secondary market activity, and collector confidence.
I’m working on a larger suggestions / feedback document for TS that I’ll post after the season, but with Flowty services shutting down, this specific change feels urgent and should be implemented immediately.
Stock the NBA Top Shot playoff store with 1000 moments and let everyone go nuts. Put a 30 minute cooldown on all purchases. You’re gonna have a lot of angry collectors if they can’t spend their points.
They’re absolutely being manipulated. Hide the live reservation numbers until packs release, make large reservations binding after a certain point, and show actual paid orders instead of temporary holds. The current system is way too easy to manipulate and hurts real collectors.
I could be way off here.. But here is my hot take🔥🎬 on the @NBATopShot Playoff Moment mistake...
Just from observing these TS playoff drops (and participating in every one of them)..
I think multiple collectors put in for 50 to 100+ packs every drop. This drives the number of MINTS up, so once other collectors know it isn't a 'bottleneck' moment and they can buy one on the MP for $4-$6, they pass on minting... Then in the final hour or minutes, a lot of folks cancel their order of 50-100 packs, and fall back to 10 or less packs.. if 5-10 people did this, it has a clear impact @vinylsneverdie .. Honestly, once you buy/reserve a pack you should be committed to that pack, otherwise it can be manipulated. I feel bad that an error happened, it truly is unfortunate/awkward for everyone involved. Just hope ya'll learn from it.. If you want a pack, then you buy it.. don't play your fellow collectors. It's a terrible look.
PS- if I'm wrong, then sorry for wasting your time. ✌️
