The new F150s (and maybe other Fords) have CoPilot 360 that will be getting a software update in the Fall that could make it close to self driving.

Count me in for $100-200 for a shared horse... I would rather as earlier of a Z that we can afford. I've been looking at Zed for a while but because of the complexity and time that would need to be invested in research and racing I've avoided. I have a stable but no funded meta mask

Not his first moment but still rookie badged so probably ok to hold and hope those 35K go LE soon. You could sell but unless you have something in mind that you would rather hold I'm not sure I see the point. I got the RJ Hampton Hustle and Show and a Ja Morant common on my pulls. Will probably just wait for an upcoming challenge on the RJ before listing anything.

70K for me... hopefully I can get one of those 20 LaMelo's

New TS drop start soon, gl everyone

If you want a shot at some Series 1 packs I guess you could hold. Likely a very slim shot but

Has buying a bar been mentioned? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My understanding too. All moments can be exchanged for a trade ticket which I’m turn can be used to buy specialty packs. These packs will contain S1 unissued moments but there will also be pack available that are the “recycled” moments of the ones that are being traded in for tickets. It sounds like that might almost be the type of rebound pack for those drops. It also sounds like the S1 packs could cost more in tickets which they would be determining over time.

No new drops that I know about. Could be they are just waiting until Series 2 cards come out to drop those packs. This is going to be a bit different than TopShot where it might mirror the cards more than being it's own product. If you are interested you might want to just look at what you can buy for a deal on the market. Who knows if Series 2 and beyond are going to have a 10x return immediately without it being some sought after rookie. Trout cards are insane right now... the #1 Legendary pulled out of packs sold for $80K and base common ones were selling for $300 just a few days ago. The challenge of buying packs was a pain but this was their first ever drop. They might not have anticipated that much demand. TS was doing this early on and would have packs just sitting out there for days where users could just go in several times and buy multiple.

This is the way... Did any of you start buying the Topps NFTs off the marketplace? It's only been a week and a half but these things have seen some significant growth. Packs that you originally bought for $99 got up to $1000 on the marketplace.

ProTax changed last year to the $150 you pay up front only gets rolled into savings. If no reduction you still owe. Did Five Stones do the same? Agree on the value being less than what we could actual sell for so I might be out the $150 this year with no benefit.

I was not lucky enough to pull anything in Legendary category and only 1 Trout card. It was a SP of Mike Trout which is nice but the Independence and 70th Anniv are the ones that have really taken off. That one and I got a #6 Vladimir 70th Anniv. which are the best two according to pricing estimates.

Damn, a week has flown by and I spent zero time on Surly... what's happening. Was a big NFT week for me (hardly did any work) as I participated in the Topps NFT drop and got several packs and was #309 in line for TopShot so got a Rare Pack. Topps: Although there were some bumps it was their first drop... I was around in TopShot mid last year but they had the advantage of only a handful of users buying packs. Topps had to do their first in the middle of the NFL craze. I will say that Topps has some big advantages in a lot of ways... Your actually own the NFT token and have the freedom to do a lot more with it. There are multiple 3rd party marketplaces, you have way more flexibility in how you sell your cards; for instance you can sell and trade packs, bundle cards to sell, create an auction for your cards. Marketplace experience is way better I think. I also think the future will be very bright... Topps is invested and already has a physical product with millions of users (each of whom are now a target for user acquisition). I can only imagine that Series 2 packs in stores are going to have inserts to redeem for a common NFT card. Drawbacks exist however since you have to transact in Wax which is not a straightforward crypto. The drop was purchased in USD but everything on the marketplace needs to be bought in Wax which will limit new participants. Just fun to see this from the very beginning where I was not able to be on TS. TopShot I got my best spot in line ever and ended up with a Kemba Walker MGLE. Not a great serial but will likely hold until the challenge and sell then. Nothing notable on the common moments. My higher end moments are still dropping and I'm working on consolidating into a few solid Superstars/S1s that I intend to hold through the offseason.

Going to Santa Barbara for a week at the end of June. Worth taking small kids or should I board them?

I have several friends there. I left my club last year and looked at Lost Creek at the end of last year. Decent rates to join last year but from what I heard on another buddy looking to join they have gone up significantly this year and may go up again as they might be doing some more improvements.

While I agree that I’m getting a raw deal with the massive increase. (and I fully intend to protest) I can’t say that it’s beyond what I could have sold it for at the beginning of the year. Any of you think they got raised well beyond the “actual” value? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good lord, I just looked! Glad to have that HS cap being used for something I guess. Just took a look at my buddies house and his went from 1.49 -> 2.37 🤮 County is out for blood I see. slowing down the people moving here?!?...

I was 240K in line so didn't get anything. Overall that's a solid pack. Like you said good serial numbers and you have a MPJ who will benefit going into the stretch and getting more touches with Murray out plus an LE first moment. Unless you are doing the CC Challenge selling the Hayward in the next few days is a good play since those prices will be inflated from the moment utility. As far as not wanting to spend a grand, it would have been hard not to if you made the cut... EV for that thing was definitely well worth it. Something like a 16% chance to get an LBJ that was selling for min 25K. I tend to think that non-stars and most of the 35K set will lose value over the off season so my plan is selling off certain ones and putting into mega stars and those on teams with Championship mettle.

GBTC has been such trash lately... disconnecting itself. It's been trading at a big discount and today although BTC is down less than a % GBTC down close to 6%. In theory it should be a good buy but I'm not so sure anymore.

If the cards are in great shape and you think it would get a PSA 7 or better I think they are worth selling. Post some pics here and maybe I will buy them from you.

I think in general I find eBay has better pricing but card shows are great since no taxes, shipping etc in those prices plus you can barter if buying several things making it around even. Plus you get to see the card in person if not graded.

I signed up for this as well and will try and get a few packs (I think they will limit to 10) on the 20th. Yesterday they took 10K preorders that would receive a special pack and it was sold out really quick. Did not make that list. From what I gather Wax is the poorest experience of the popular ones out there (Veve, Zed, TS). With multiple marketplaces, sites, etc. it will be a bit more difficult but at least they will accept CC. I've been a Topps collector for some time so I'm still obvi interested.

Was 30K so didn’t make it either. Got the rebound pack but nothing special . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not in central Austin. Plenty of buyers between 1.5 - 2.5. New Zillow pricing making me want to sell... too bad kids just about to be in Elementary so no where to go now unless it's way out. Fairly new build just around the corner just listed for 1.5 (2300 sqft)!
