Dapper goes visual, Jokic = MVP, Playoff packs drop in just two days!
It’s Wednesday, halfway done with this sucker of a week!
Here’s what’s up:
Nikola Jokic won MVP of the league. It was a lock I guess, 95 votes to 5 for Steph.
The Jazz beat the Clippers in Game 1 out West.
The 76ers showed some life in holding off the Hawks, but Trae Young has the basketball on a puppet string. Don’t see that trend continuing.
Today is your last day to register for Playoff Packs dropping Friday!
Buyers and Seller
-3,000 buyers
One thing I’d love to know is what number Topshot collector I am. I joined in September, I’ve got to be amongst the first 3,000 collectors. Topshot feels fun again! And it feels like we’re missing a lot of the noise and hype of February….I don’t hate this!
Movers and Losers
Topshot said they couldn’t let the third-party sites have all the data vizualising fun.
They’ve released a new blog, and a new semi-circle wheel chart tracking each moment.
General Advice
Trade Tickets vs. Collector Score
I don’t have the answers. I don’t even have a strategy!
What I do have is a strong appreciation for the dichotomy the Dapper team is building.
Jacob hinted that trade tickets for a Series 1 pack would probably be “in the high two-figures maybe low 3 figures….above 50”.
That’s a lot of Josef Nurkics!
I went through my account of nearly 150 moments that I for the most part have chosen to collect. I found 22 I’d be ready to return as trade tickets. Getting to that number is going to be hard, and it’s going to be painful. I think there’s going to be some goodbyes I’m not thrilled about.
And then! You trade those moments in and you get a massive hit to your Collector Score after that (There shouldn’t be any rares or holos on the horizon when this happens, but it’s one step back for two steps forward).
So what do you prioritize? Series 1 has the higher ceiling, and will get there quicker. Collector Score keeps you getting hit after hit for the current season’s plays.
Me over here holding the bag: My account is Tawmmypoints (support the newsletter, buy one of my moments!) and of course I named it for Tommy Heinsohn. But the “points” portion of my account was also at least partially motivated by the fact that I wanted the highest and best Baller Status.
The red-headed stepchild of a Topshot score, nowadays.

The nerds have run the numbers and it turns out you are the nerd for liking NFTs. Sales have slowed 5x in the general NFT market since the beginning of May.
