yo what's up guys welcome back to the channel today we're going to be doing a video on nba
top shots we have a pack to open up which is very exciting we'll do that in this video we're also
just going to talk about the current state of nba top shot and where it's at and if it's dying
because people think it's dying is it dying it might be we'll find out now like i say i do have
a pack to open up we'll do that a bit later in the video for now like i say i do just want to
take a look at nba top shot and see if it is dying because loki it could be now we just take a look
at the current market right i've got this listed at lowest ask low to high and there are cards that
are four dollars right now go back a few weeks ago to when the all-star cards drop the cheapest card
you could possibly get was twenty dollars and now there's cards listed at four dollars and there's
there's a lot listed at four dollars there's a lot listed at five there's an unbelievable
amount listed at five and then there's actually loads listed at six the list goes on there's
these cards that are just really common and just like not desirable at all are going down
in price an insane amount they've gone from 20 to four in the matter of weeks i'll say a matter of
weeks it's actually been quite a while since that all-star break um pack release i think that could
be kind of linked as to why everything's going down so much so obviously when the all-star pack
drop you needed three different moments to be able to buy the pack whereas now there's like
no big packs dropping there's nothing crazy like those all-star packs there's no like 200 packs
that everyone's trying to get there's there's only these like base nine dollar packs so i think
there's no real desire and want to have these just like common cards and i think what's happening now
is nba top show is actually kind of catching up to how it should be rather than you know what it
was before because i think what it was before was just absolutely ridiculous where every single card
was a profit pool and it was just every card was expensive even if it was the worst card in the
game it was worth twenty dollars when you get a nine dollar pack for three cards technically the
worst cards in the game should probably be less than three dollars and i think nba top shot is
going in that direction where the common cards are the ones where there's circulating counts
there's no limited amount right there you can see circulating count count may change common number
out of 35 000 plus so there's like an unlimited amount of these circulating counts and it's just
like i'm gonna compare it to like pokemon cards right so so what makes these nfts desirable
is like i say they're nfts they're linked to blockchains and they're unique they have a unique
serial number whereas these common cards where there's nothing you know particularly insane about
it it's not got a high serial number it's just like pulling a common pokemon card in the pack
where they come in absolutely every single one and no one really wants them because they're so easy
to get and they end up being worth absolutely nothing and barely even a fraction of the price
of a pack and i think that is where nba top shot is going to go and i don't think that's it dying
i think it's that kind of leveling out so it's not like as ridiculous as it was but it's where
it probably should be and where it will be in the future i don't think it's dead i don't think it's
dying i think it's just you know going to how it should be as far as the trading card game goes
even though it's not quite a trading card game it kind of is still even though it's like nfts and
it's essentially still just a virtual trading card game so i think what we're seeing like i say is
how it kind of will be in the future unless they do come out with another pack requirement like the
insane all-star packs they haven't released one of those in a long time and i think one of them
is probably going to come up um soon just because like i say it's actually been a long time since
they have released those i can't remember the date it was but it's probably a couple of months now
because we're in april and the all-star game is in february if you guys are finding this boring
by the way i'm sorry but i i i find it really interesting and i do my best to talk about it and
trying to make it interesting for you guys but i did a video not long ago where i opened up a nine
dollar pack i actually got some some more stuff but i found the video so boring i was watching it
about myself and it just wasn't it so i didn't end up posting the video but i'll show you what i got
i got this damian lalood i got this eric gordon i got this d vincenzo um the best one by an absolute
mile was the damien lillard and when i pulled it it was worth 20 let's see what is that now because
this was a few weeks ago but this is actually like quite a desirable one because it's a it's a pretty
cool moment it's a buzzbee and it's still only 14 which is like nothing but look at the moment
it's actually sick they're down to here it's a buzz beater three to win the game by one point
like it's an unbelievable moment because it's common and it's a circular encounter 35 000 plus
you know it's not desirable people don't really want it people want the less they don't want the
circulating counts and um if you don't know much about nba top shots what i'm talking about here
essentially as you see here it says circulating count whereas here it says le so this is a limited
edition where there's only 12 000 of that card you can see it says 9846 out of 12 000 whereas
this card says 3886 out of 35 000 plus so there's still many of these being made and this is still
base set two and i think they're actually closing base set two after these packs closed so the pack
i actually have right now i'll show you guys is this pre-order base set pack release 24
and essentially everyone could buy one of these and ev every single person that has an account
and wanted to buy one could get one that was like a five-day period and you know it everyone could
get one of these so i think that has driven the price of the the base cards down as well and i
think that's also why they're down at four dollars because a lot more people have the cards now but
going back to my point i think they said after the pre-order packs they're actually gonna close base
set series 2. so i'll be interested to see if when they close base set series 2 these circulating
count cards actually get capped to the amount of cards that there are i'm sorry my camera keeps
going out of focus man i'm trying to improve my quality of the videos i got a microphone going now
and just need to get the whole lighting situation fixed because of the light in the background but
anyway nonetheless got distracted i think they're going to close off the circulating counts when
base set 2 closes and they're all going to be les because if you look at base step 1 which i'll go
ahead and just do quickly um we'll check some filters on here we'll go series one common base
series one there's actually no circulating counts they're all les and i don't know if that's because
you know they all were elies or whether they were circulating counts and then
they turned into ellie's because they set one close if that doesn't make sense i'm sorry but
i'm trying to make sense of it myself and i think that's what's going to happen when they close this
base at series 2 which is what all of my moments i have are at bay set series 2. so yeah i'll be
interested to see if they turn into ellie's when that closes and then they do base at series three
but like i say this this is the last drop with the base set series two cards and then i think all of
them will go up in price i'll get a bit more rare because you know people can't get them anymore
um so i think these all will increase but then when we see base set three packs drop i think
the base set three packs are actually going to be sorry not the base set three packs but the base
set three cards are going to be less valuable than these four dollars i think they're gonna go like
sub one dollar because like i say i think it's balancing out and it's going to the way it should
be i've been talking for so long but like i say man it's something i just find really interesting
and i've been looking into like you know various investments i'm 24 now which is so
old and i'm trying to just figure out where i should be putting my money should i be putting
in digital stuff physical stuff these like roth iras man shares all these kind of things
i'm trying to figure out where to put my money to increase it so all this stuff is just interesting
because i think this has got to the point where it's not just a quick in and out money grab you
actually have to you know do a bit more thinking about it and just because you buy a pack it
doesn't mean it's going to be profitable right now it's at that point but i think you know give it
a few weeks maybe even a couple of months it's going to get to that point where you're buying
stuff and it's not necessarily just going to be profitable just because you managed to get a pack
but i mean you know it's all just so up in the air no one really knows where this is going because
it's a really new thing i think it is going to be a bubble and i think the bubble's already gone and
we're on the way down but i think it's also just going to start making a lot more sense where you
can collect the rarer things and they'll go up in value whereas if you collect like you know
just something extremely common where there's loads and there's no desirability for it it's
not going to be worth a lot of money okay with all that out of the way i hope you guys did enjoy that
that's just kind of my opinion on the whole nba top shot situation right now is it dead i don't
think so i think it's going the way it should be but we're going to go ahead and open up the
pack and see what we can get like i say i opened up a base set pack i managed to get in the cube
for the for the other one just before this which was the last drop of base set packs and actually
like i say i've got these three cards right here this was five dollars this was five dollars this
is twenty dollars from a nine dollar pack so i made thirty dollars off a nine dollar pack
which is like 300 profit cannot complain but that was because i was in the top 25 000 in the queue
there were over 100 000 people in the queue and i managed to get 23 000 when there were 25 000 packs
available so i got super lucky with that whereas here we are with the pre-order base set packs and
these everyone could get nine dollars like i say uh nothing crazy really cheap pack actually
uh you get three basic cards and every card you get right now is guaranteed four dollars so three
times four twelve dollars you're guaranteed profit but it would obviously be nice to get an led card
rather than all these circulating accounts if you get something which is le you're flying so
we'll see what we get um also something they added which i haven't talked about yet is these badges
um which are honestly really cool additions where these like rookie badges and nba top shots
um debuts rookie premiere rookie year like all these badges they've added to cards are really
cool in my opinion um and they've actually like probably helped the value of all of these kind of
things with the badges and essentially it's like if it's the cards if it's someone's rookie year
and they get this movement if it's their first moment on top shot that's what these badges are
related to i've only got one with the badge which is this um antenna compared which is his first top
shot moment would be good to get a rookie one and essentially yeah what we're looking for in
this pack is a ellie which is limited edition you know our 4 000 would be perfect but 12 000 is fine
you know anything like that also i i do just want to quickly go into the best pools that we can get
i don't want to talk too much like i say because people will find it boring but hopefully you know
this is still interesting for you guys it's interesting for me so yeah but if we go based
at series 2 and lowest ask descending these are going to be the best cards that we can possibly
get so this little mellow ball we could pull this and it's worth sixteen hundred dollars right now
anthony edwards you know all these like limited edition to four thousand rookies these are the
ones that you want you know lebron you obviously won and again you know limited edition 4 000
rookie they're essentially what you want that's what we're looking for we just don't want three
circulating accounts that's what i got in my last pack um but we'll see what we do so here we go
opening up the pack we'll go ahead and reveal them one by one and we'll see what we get so first one
dunk pelicans who is it josh hart okay that's not too bad let's see what the actual highlight is
like it's put back dunk uh nothing crazy serial numbers tragic 21 000 out of 35 000 plus so
not great there that's not a good pull at all as far as our first one goes that's probably going
to be a four dollar card to be honest um what can you do i'm going to save the middle one to last
and then we'll open up this right one so don't tell me we got
how does this happen there's there's hundreds of moments i don't know there's hundreds of moments
but there's a lot of moments and we managed to pull two of the same one in the same pack
and it's two of the worst possible mode i never get good luck with these kind of things literally
just never the serial numbers trash 25 000 that was even worse than the one before which i said
was trash we've ended up with two of the same moment in one pack what kind of a sick joke
is that right come on this has to be better chris paul okay at least it's a good player uh
very average highlight oh man 20 000 this was awful this is tragic
we probably have three four dollar cards here
um circling count again twenty thousand all of them were over twenty thousand cereal that's um
this was the best card lowest cereal was twenty thousand out of thirty five thousand plus man
that is absolutely tragic let's let's just look at them on the marketplace and see what they're
going for see if you actually made any money on this nine dollar pack where are my moments come on
okay well for some reason they're not showing in my moments they should do soon but we can
just go ahead and look for them so if we go to the marketplace we'll try and find them and then see
what they're worth which is probably absolutely nothing all right so the dunk is five dollars
um so fantastic two of those so we have got ten dollars there and then if we look at the chris
paul one so look how much that is probably five dollars as well five dollars as well so three
absolutely awful pools probably as bad as the pack could have got um yeah good stuff good stuff not
quite the uh hundred dollars plus that we made on the cool cats pack if you guys missed that i
did sell my uh sabonis card for 105 which was much better than you know three five dollar books but
what can you do man that's kind of where it's at right now and like i say the the common cards that
no one really wants so these three cards that i got and that's why they're all so cheap so
yeah not um not the best pack in the world at all but still fifteen dollars out of nine dollars
can't complain too much and i i wish i could have got a better pack for you guys the fact that
there's potential to get like a thousand dollar card and then you end up with a five is just pain
like genuine pain but still i'm gonna keep trying to get these packs and see what we can do see if
we can open up some more in the future for you guys and yeah i hope you guys enjoyed this let
me know what you think of this whole nba top shop thing if you're invested in it if you have any
if you're trying to open some packs it's a bit different from the whole street where sneakers
but i feel like it's all intertwined you know it's just collectibles which people like and you
know it's basketball it's intertwined with like the whole streetwear sneaker stuff so make sure
