@CardAficionado I kinda wish they followed the same format as the Hexwave auction. Top 10 get one and eliminates collectors from going for multiples

27% of VJ Edgecombe's Rare population is gone. 9 Hexwaves are gone. 3 Jukeboxes are gone. And more will be burned from an open auction where collectors are burning an average of $430 of Rares per slot. One playoff game triggered most of that burn. I think the 2026 Playoff Premieres set is the cleanest sink Top Shot has ever shipped — the platform's marketed scarcity is being enforced by the structure of the program itself rather than by promises about future behavior. New Take on CollectorFlex breaks down the burn math, the floor compression mechanics, and the recurring-activation risk that nobody is pricing in yet. Disclosure: I'm in the Jukebox auction. The burn cost I'm willing to absorb is in the article. collectorflex.com/takes/cmof2nej…

@AustinFCBuckeye @CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands Haha sorry don’t spend much time there so wasn’t sure if there was a specific one for announcements

@mingster23 @CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands The @NBATopShot one 😂

Yo @NASA - peep this…. VJ Edgecombe goes OFF in Boston LAST NIGHT for 30/10 in a game 2 win, and this new Vj moment was available to own earlier today?! We are talking like 16 hours after the game ended… you guys might want to look into this tech that @NBATopShot is working with

@AustinFCBuckeye @CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands Which discord was this?

@mingster23 @CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot They’ll be burned per @Th3Badlands in the discord

@coultin @AustinFCBuckeye @CardAficionado @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands Hmm. That changes things a little. Wonder if I should pick up more

@AustinFCBuckeye @mingster23 @CardAficionado @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands Yep. They just won’t exist.

@CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot Did they say what they will do if the entire 129 available are not taken up?

@coultin @NASA @NBATopShot It was going to take something pretty special to get me to burn rares, but this qualified. Love that we get this great moment and it's net neutral for the VJ pop.

@coultin @VinceCarterLast @NBATopShot I feel you. Was battling for a VJ but cnmbk8 came in off the top rope just before the end (which was about 3am for me). Can take solace in the fact that there are less VJ jukeboxes and hexwaves left out there now.

Absolutely gutted to lose this auction on @NBATopShot for the Ace Bailey. I was high bidder until the last minutes, so I threw every single rare I had at it, but rather than outbidding “Big Dadda Bear” at $395, my $509 bid was outbid by Self_Assured_sea_horse, so I could have theoretically won auction and still burned less moments. I wonder, do I know this person, and did I upset you?

NBA Top Shot Moments will now be permanently stored on IPFS, a decentralized network, making each one a collectible that exists in perpetuity – independent of any single entity. Every video highlight, the thumbnail, and metadata. Built in collaboration with the NBA and Dapper Labs, this is expected to be announced this week. Explainer follows. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer storage network used to store, share, and access files and data without relying on central servers. IPFS is made of multiple IPFS nodes, so no one entity can control what is shared on the network, this allows immutability (unchangeable data) and permanence - but only if the data is pinned to at least one node. Pinning is what turns "accessible in theory" into "accessible permanently." The more a Moment is requested, the more nodes it passes through, and the more opportunities for it to be pinned organically by others. This can also be done deliberately through a pinning service as well, and Dapper Labs would likely use one or several of these to ensure redundancy. Whenever a node wants to share content on IPFS, it runs the content through a cryptographic hash and returns a CID (Content Identifier). The CID is tied to the content itself – change anything at all, and you get a completely different CID – this is what makes it tamper-proof. Moments will have a public CID, so anyone can independently verify the media is authentic and access the original files directly – no middleman needed. Moments will become decentralized IPFS-pinned assets to ensure they remain accessible forever, so even if Dapper Labs ceased operations, your collectibles would still exist and be retrievable, no matter what.

@coultin @TopShotYoda @P8erade4u @BilloBank @LincolnCannon Hot take - I’ve interacted with Nerja a few times and bought some moments from them after some discussions. Had no issues at all, polite and responsive. To me it’s a free market and if I have to pay a little extra because they beat me to a moment then that’s just life I guess.

@TopShotYoda @P8erade4u @BilloBank @LincolnCannon This Yanic jersey match Hexwave? 44 bucks. But whatever, I can’t stop Nerja from ripping people off- my initial point is that the super premium 1/1 moments are far less likely to be sold for 500 bucks if they are in a premium pack.

I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I think it’s time that we consider high value moments being put back exclusively in the most expensive packs. This moment would not have sold for this if it was pulled by someone who paid $$$ for it. Sales like this devalue other similar moments. I promise I’ll still buy packs @NBATopShot, even if I wouldn’t be able to afford the high-end moment chase. @roham @vinylsneverdie @Eisenberg43

Rather than just a normal completed set like the others. Would be great if we had a way to display this on our profiles especially given that only 24 complete FG Hexwave sets are technically possible now (2/2)

I'm #2 on the Freshman Gems (S25/26) - Lowest Avg. Serial Leaderboard on @NBATopShot! #nbatopshot @Mingster/sets/ee8eb595-b7d1-4f2a-a71c-ce50e4c7fc3f/leaderboards?leaderboardTab=serial" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nbatopshot.com/user/@Mingster… Pleased to have completed the Freshman Gems Hexwave set. Would be good though to actually be able to see this as a completed parallel set (1/2)

@CardAficionado @ChewieWoolf @BlockchainSteve @NBATopShot I got Doncic/Booker constellations for the all-time team boards and a Maxey constellation for being 4th on the seasonal board (was hoping for a VJ FG)

Yeah, not sure about those packs tbh. I was first for Spurs and got a base Wemby Marquee. It’s a $30ish moment so nothing to sneeze at but not quite what I thought was going to be in scope for this given what we were spending to get up the lb. That is the best of the 3 options I could have pulled in the packs for the Spurs as well which surprised me. They got a lot right recently, but this one didn’t work as well imo. Will have to look at what others got for different teams.

Fandom matters! Favorite team leaderboards at their finest ⤵️

@Raikan007 @NBATopShot I was actually surprised to see that the Flagg/VJ/Kon autos are not in the standard packs or the boxes.

Be honest, how many freshman gems packs (and which ones) did you order? I have ordered 5x standard packs @NBATopShot #freshmangems #nbatopshot #NBAX

Do I have any @NBATopShot fam in Seoul🇰🇷 or Tokyo🇯🇵? If I hosted a meetup for the community in one of these two places in September (or Both🤷‍♂️), would you be interested in attending? Drop a comment ⬇️ if you would be interested. If there’s interest, I’ll see what I can do. 🙏🫶

@PackripEwing @intangible_eth That’s exactly what this is

@intangible_eth my read on this (hope I’m wrong) is they don’t want to pay for the rights of any new players so they’re just putting existing players in New Jerseys and calling it the RIB drop

Moments should be memorable and timeless. Collecting Moments from "star players in uniforms you may not remember them wearing" does not check that box for me. Why do I want to own something forever of something I don't remember?

@NBATopShot Chris Paul TS - Mingster

👀 Who’s the player? His debut sparked one of the fastest turnarounds in NBA history and turned an overlooked roster into contenders. Guess this legendary Run It Back: Legacy Threads Moment, and you could win a pack. 🏀 #RunItBack
