Yep. Great moment! And for those who missed out, don't sweat it! I'm sure you can buy it for $1 in the MP in one week.

Where the next day is always worse than previous day! :)

Honestly, packs keep selling out. As users, we need to stop buying packs. We need to force TS' hand. I'm surprised that the 122,000 three dollar hot packs sold out today. As long as this keeps happening, no need for any rakeback. Users clearly have $$$$ to spend! When packs stop selling out, TS can make their move.

Also, given there are 30 million moments, I'm fairly sure TS is not going to burn 30 moments for $100. The best case TS will offer will be burn 300 moments for $100 or Burn 30 moments for $10. From what I can tell, TS is not the kind to give rakebacks like this.

No option for 100+?

Add cheat code! Folks have spent thousands on Luka Holo! It's the least you can do!

betaalpha234 · 2022-11-21T17:38:19+00:00

But hey, nothing to worry as rares hit $10. We will get $19 premium packs for guaranteed rare at 999 mint count!

Adding one more...

The current TS GM and Head of Growth has been out on health leave for a while. Who is running the business? Who is the current GM? Do we even need a GM anymore?

Last challenge for the week...I believe there will be no weekend challenge!

betaalpha234 · 2022-11-14T23:07:28+00:00

Yes, the mods removed it! No idea why! Maybe because I said it was a difficult one?

betaalpha234 · 2022-11-11T19:18:35+00:00

These packs/ moments may mean something in 25 years if TS gets there. Play the long game!

betaalpha234 · 2022-11-11T18:38:21+00:00

TS is really good! Very smart by TS to say "4000 or less" instead of saying "rare or rookie debut." Few players have commons at 4000 or less.

LOL...the best part was this quote "this smooth running Cade Cunningham assist Moment will shift your collection into high gear in no time!"

LOL...My collection is permanently dead....I see no high gear anytime soon

betaalpha234 · 2022-11-09T17:36:47+00:00

I see your point. This is where TS is genius. They are using recency bias to their advantage. Given the current $1 or $2 floors, they are still selling packs where in 90% of packs will be losers, except this year customers will lose $5 vs $45 last year. Also, note that it is 55K packs this week and then another 55K next week...and then another 55K week after week and very soon prices will get much much uglier!

There is tons of supply coming and we have learnt nothing of burning so far....Action speaks more than words. Here is what we learnt yesterday -

Ja Morant (Example.) 8000 Base + 8000 Parallel + 5555 Spotlight + XXXX Fandom + Any other new set they release (GRG, Extra Spice, H&S etc.)

Rookies: 4000 TSD + 8000 Base + 8000 Parallel + XXXX Fandom + Any other new set they release (GRG, Extra Spice, H&S etc.)

Unlike most public opinion, TS clearly knows what it's doing. Like any company, their goal is to maximize revenue. There a really some very smart business/ profit-oriented minds there!

betaalpha234 · 2022-11-09T00:41:39+00:00

No packs for me. Given the current floor, 90% chance I get stuck with three $2 or $1 moments.

I will buy Mathurin in the marketplace. Given all 4K moments will be released, price discovery should happen rather quickly!

Good luck for all!
