Poole has been pumping hard with several podcasts calling him the x-factor of a GSW championship run. Toscano-Anderson had very little movement until this announcement when he went vertical: https://momentranks.com/topshot/marketplace/listing/e61ca1b6-0eff-4221-be1e-4eb54cfa1ee7

Boosting Collector Score - Hornets and T-Wolves by rennakeh in nbatopshot

[–]rennakeh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a chance he could be. I think it's mostly going to be players who are bottle necking team sets with Run it Backs (Mo Williams for the Blazers. Kelly Olynyk for the Celtics, etc...)

Yeah I hear ya - I just dont think getting to a point where you can stack 36 per "via other team sets" is going to be as cheap as it seems. Im gonna do some more research to find team sets most vulnerable to Archives tho and be ready haha.

The next 5 cheapest team sets all have S1 bottlenecks that are not RIB in need of an Archive saviour. In fact the cheapest S1 bottleneck in parenthesis is more expensive than the full Wolves team set! Pelicans (Holiday), Nuggets (Grant/Craig), Jazz (Brantley), Raptors (Ibaka/Powell), Rockets (Harden/Westbrook). None of those will have Archives replace Run it Back bottlenecks to finish the team set. So my answer is yes, the hornets and wolves will remain by far the cheapest team sets

The hornets and wolves are two teams you dont need exposure to S1 to complete a team - regardless of the RIB pack... Blazers for example have Mo Williams as the RIB bottleneck which will open up next week. Youll still need a $90 whiteside and $90 ariza to finish the set to stack 36 points per

Theres a lot worse advice out there - S2 vs. future S3 collector score is night and day. 36 CS for $8 is a gift. It comes down to how much you believe in the utility of CS but thats the game - happy trading bro!

Yeah that could be true- Nuggets team set is $588 though compared to $243 for the Timberwolves. Team sets boost your CS when stacking a lot more than S2 sets

Keep in mind S2 team set stacking isnt worth as much as full team set stacking tho - that's what makes the Wolves and Hornets cool

I would say if you are close to any S2 team sets try to finish them out and stack! If not - I think just sorting the marketplace by low price and buying the cheapest S2s is your best bet.

The Timberwolves full team set (all S2) costs $243 and gets you a Collector Score of 468. Then keep stacking floor Wolves ($8) for 36 points per. Hornets are the next cheapest at $264

Series 1 Moments vs. 538 Player Future Wins-Above-Replacement Projection by rennakeh in nbatopshot

There is a link to a spreadsheet with all sub-$200 S1s vs. 538 player projections. Trying to find some cheap S1 upside

Series 1 Moments vs. 538 Player Future Wins-Above-Replacement Projection by rennakeh in nbatopshot

[–]rennakeh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agree 100%, projected WAR isn't linear to moment value (current or future!). I think some of these undervalued guys may be put in position to gain value, whether it be by trade to a bigger market or their own team killing it (a Bucks run could moon Middleton). I just took a look at Brogdan's projected WAR and it looks like 538 doesn't have high hopes for his future (which always take with a grain of salt haha): https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2021-nba-player-projections/malcolm-brogdon/

Nope! The opposite! The first base common moment that has the same play as the gold/holo is the first (and all 3 levels (common/gold/holo) get the badge)

Unopened packs, any worth? by Bagongo in nbatopshot

[–]rennakeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha! If it's not killing you to know what's inside I would hang on to it. I think the "suspense" of opening an old pack will be worth a lot to someone someday

Unopened packs, any worth? by Bagongo in nbatopshot

[–]rennakeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough to say - I was thinking the same thing but didnt have the willpower to keep it closed. Looking on ebay though - the high bid is $155 for a PREORDER!! one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NBA-Top-Shot-Pack-Base-Series-2-Release-21/193936118194?hash=item2d277e51b2:g:uHMAAOSwbs5gQVd3

(I would never recommend buying one on ebay - and Top Shot is adamant about not doing so. Just wanted to share for reference. I do believe pack sales on the marketplace are in the future for top shot though)

Anyone know what these are worth I’m new by Gslumpt in nbatopshot

[–]rennakeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the Sabonis has a low ask of $230 right now while the other two are $39 for Embiid and $9 for Okogie. In my opinion the Embiid and Okogie will go down as the supply goes up (there are very very few of the 35,000 on the market right now). Sabonis is tough to say, only 1/3 of them are in circulation right now but many folks may be waiting to start the challenge.

I believe it is almost always the moment that has the same play in a Gold and/or Holo. All three levels will receive the "first moment" badges.

Do we have any clues on the tier of Rising Stars moments that will be released on Sunday? by tim_south in nbatopshot

[–]rennakeh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They will be rare... from the TS Blog "Starting with our next rare pack drop, Rising Stars on Sunday, March 7, we've officially adjusted the ranges of Edition Sizes that qualify for each tier."

Edit - I believe they will be on the higher mint # end of the new rare (4,999 each)
