    Anyone buy NFTs as an investment?

    Seem to be replacing physical cards


    NBA really took off.


    Draftkings has NFTs going off tomorrow for Wayne Gretzky.


    The Tom Brady $1500 from last week is on sale for $107,000 (last sold for around 20-25k)


    I picked up the 3 cheapest Gretzky NFTs on Tuesday but they are way down in price since I bought them. HOWEVER, I think this is only USA for now. Hopefully as the world opens up to buy these, Gretzky will increase.



    Ill take any of them at regular price but would only pay for Tiger Woods at a premium when it comes out

    A non-fungible token (NFT) of a video clip of LeBron James dunking recently sold for more than $200,000 on NBA Top Shot, a website that allows users to buy and sell NBA video clips. An NFT is a digital certificate, kind of like a digital barcode, which certifies that a person owns that specific video clip on NBA Top Shot.

    NBA Top Shot non-fungible tokens are skyrocketing in value : Planet Money : The Indicator from Planet Money : NPR

    Great, so buy something for $12 that will be worth $4 in 90 days, sounds awesome! If top shot Lebrons can lose 50%+ value basically overnight what do you think $12 commons are going to net you long term? Go buy some ETH Rudy and sit on that instead of this nonsense

    I was in on the nba top shot gold rush. Every single pack I was making a few Hundo on and these packs cost 10$. Each pack had around 6 moments and the worst ones sold for more than the pack would cost. If you got a pack you were guaranteed to make money. Those days have been over for a few months now. Too many jabronis flooding the market immediately undercutting every moment for sale. Was fun while it lasted. Now I’m sitting on like 50 moments hoping they’ll be worth something in 20 years

    Yeah, I have quite a few NBA Top Shot moments and have some other trading card NFTs on Panini.

    I sold a few NBA Top Shot moments months ago when they were pricey and am freerolling on my portfolio there now. Prices way down currently but hoping they tick up again at some point.

    I have a few of the Brady's. Haven't had any luck on the drops.

    Current portfolio-

    Brady Sapphire Premier- Paid $250 Current Value is $800 Min- Peaked at $1,200
    Brady Emerald Premier- Paid $390 Current Value is $400 Min- Peaked at $650
    Brady Platinum Signed 13/100- Paid $4,250 Current Value $5,300 Min- Peaked at $9,000
    Gretzky Carbon Premier- Paid $90 Current Value $95 Peaked at $200

    Kinda wish I took my $4,000+ in gains on the Brady Signed Platinum but I'm in this for the long run.

    I will try for every drop. Zero chance the value sinks below the drop price ever. That being said- I'd try to dump any Osaka ones instantly if I could. I'd love Tony Hawk and Jeter. None will ever equal Brady unless they do a Lebron or MJ or something, but the drops are a great opportunity if you get lucky.

    Of course it did. People don't understand NFT's, understandably. But doesn't mean you can't make a fortune off them.

    I'm thinking about it. I'm kind of resisting having NFTs at too many different sites for whatever reason.

    No worries I was not in the chatting mood that day.
