NBA TOP SHOT - The Moment you should look at.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, how has life without the internet been working out for you? I’ve considered unplugging myself…

For everyone else who I know you’ve seen it.

Check out Adam Papageorgiou on The Magical Boogaloo hosted by Jonathan from Close up Magic. If you need a breakdown of what TopShot is, give him a follow there is a ton of content for what it is, that’s not why you’re here though.

So you haven’t gotten a pack… You’re curious everyone is talking about it you want to get involved but don’t know where to start?

For NBA fans this isn’t like crypto, stocks, or day trading yes there are some similarities but friend, YOU KNOW BASKETBALL! I don’t know whether Apple, Tesla, or Google are up or down and I don’t give a shit.

Magic fans (yes they exist) I’m looking at you. There is 1 singular baseline card that is a no-brainer if you are looking to start your collection and here’s why.

Fultz

This Markelle Fultz Jump Shot card 1/15,000. This card could hold very good long-term value. Today (3/1/21 Monday) it’s listed lowest at $22. This card is easily going to reach values in the $100 range and I’d say soon. I’ve been watching the listed prices and while and I’ll keep buying more of these moments (as I can afford to please invest responsibly and do not spend money you will miss).

In a 120-113 win over Washington Markelle scored 26 points and was 2/3 from 3.

This card holds value for so many reasons.

#1 it’s a Markelle Fultz jump shot moment. Has there been ANY player more criticized for his shot than Markelle? Nah

The media loves a good story and while I hope Markelle never leaves Orlando no matter where he goes his storyline is so good. #1 overall draft pick, all the speculation from yips, to malpractice trainers, a tinfoil hat theory of a motorcycle accident. This kid is faithful to the grind #F2G

#2 Ohhhh the potential. This is where Top Shot is most interesting for me. Value is added in many ways but best way to predict a spike is, will this player be a star? If you think not, simply do not buy. However, I DO believe at some point in his career Markelle could reach all-star potential. Even if he get’s mentioned as “most improved player” or in that conversation again I just believe the media will find Markelle when he’s rising to the top because of his journey to this point.

#3 Markelle usually plays with a little extra gear against his hometown team the Washington Wizards. Do people really care about that? Yes. Everything that happens in the NBA affects Top Shot. I’m serious, even certain “fun” serial numbers hold more value. So certainly for Markelle Fultz fans when he has a good game in his hometown that’s added value.

#4 Khem Birch and Dwayne Bacon prices. If you think Markelle is only ever going to be Khem Birch and Dwayne Bacon good, again avoid buying this one, but c’monnnnnnn. This is probably your most obvious indicator that the value on this puppy will rise. The market will sort itself out and talent rises in value. With his ACL injury this year and people looking to make quick money they’re flocking to active players. As soon as Markelle is activated again next season it’s on like Donkey Kong. Don’t wait until next year for this one. Buy low hold on to it.
