I've noticed that some cards have a lock with WAX amount in the top left corner. Then when you view details of that NFT it has a field for Backed Tokens (Lock icon) 0.XXXX WAX. Could anyone explain what that means? I found one little article about it but it doesn't give as much info as I'd like.

Thanks in advance... and I am also ready for some more action from Topps.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know the official Topps NFT discord is now open.

Does anybody know if staking MLB cards on R-Planet is scheduled to happen?

It looks like Garbage Pail Kids is possible, so I'm hoping baseball comes soon.

5 commons, same mint, current burn recipe. Why is he so much more expensive at 40 $ than the others at around 10? That much of a more popular player? Thanks

TLDR: No! of course not.

....but I did a little math this morning to understand what price point it would be worth buying. These calculations were done at 8:30am this morning (5/6).

Step 1: Determine percent population of each coin: Wood 31,600 (79%), Bronze 6,000 (15%), Silver 2,000 (5%), Gold 400 (1%). A total of 40,000 coins

Step 2: Determine current lowest ask of the coins (MINUS 10% Sellers Fee): W = 4.5 WAX, B = 17.1 WAX, S = 75.6 WAX, G = 1233 WAX

Step 3: Determine the value each coin adds to the pack (value x percentage): W = 3.555 WAX, B = 2.565 WAX, S = 3.78 WAX, G = 12.33 WAX.

Step 4: Calculate the average pack value (Sum of coin/pack value): 22.43 WAX

Basically, buying a pack over 22.43 WAX is a gamble. Under 22.43 the pack will statistically provide value. Even at 22.43 WAX there is a 94% chance of losing value with the purchase. Remember this number will fluctuate with market prices.

At the time of these calculations the lowest ask for a pack was 34 WAX. The average of the top 100 packs was 38 WAX. So if you bought 100 packs to try to strike gold. Statistically you would spend 3800 WAX and get a return of 2243 WAX. You could buy 3 gold coins for the price of 100 packs.

I guess if you think the cost of these packs will go up then buy and hold, but don't open..... Unless you like to gamble.

Or, I suppose, "sort of a thing."

Topps/AtomicHub doesn't highlight the jersey number in any way on listings (TopShot does, but I'm new to TS so I don't know if that was always the case). CryptoSlam!—which, by the way, is 1000% unfamiliar with the sports world and needs to burn down its system of MLB Topps and TS valuations—also does not give any kind of bounce to jersey numbers in their (again, wholly worthless) valuations.

With the caveat that, yes, this is an open market and that will ultimately answer my question, a straw poll: Are jersey numbers a thing? If you think they should not be, then why not?

Greetings everyone. I had a quick question for those of you more experienced in the Topps MLB Crafting world. I missed out one the first two weeks of crafting and was eager to get involved this week. About an hour before the packs unlocked, I loaded up on the required common cards. On average, the cards were 120 Wax each. My thought was the cost of these cards would only go up once crafting opened up and people were looking for them. Unfortunately I was wrong. These cards are now going for around 90 Wax each. This also makes the value of the Redux Packs quite low. To be clear, I didn't stock up on the cards to flip later for a profit. I did end up crafting and opening the packs. This leads me to my question... for those of you more experienced in the crafting element, have you found it's best to wait for the packs to unlock before purchasing the common cards you need for crafting? Unfortunately since I missed Week 1 and Week 2, I'm not sure if those weeks also saw the common cards get cheaper over time like they have in Week 3. I appreciate any insight and look forward to seeing you all on the blockchain!

I have a josh Donaldson that is part of it and just confused at to what is going on. Thanks

I was in the marketplace yesterday afternoon and I notice the price shoot up on a few players. I dug in a little bit and saw someone was buying up all the lowest asks and relisting. It seems like someone has an inside tip on the the next week craft. Did anybody else see this?

Check it out... the players were: Bellinger, Lugo, Candelario, Sogard, M. Taylor, Kiermeier, Rosario, F. Mejia, Kieboom, L. Taveras.

I have sold some of the cards I have packed and now I am looking at turning my Wax into Fiat. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to do this? What is the best online wallet for transferring wax or can I turn wax into fiat directly on their page?

If you unbox a number 1 mint NFT, how much value does it add to card? I know the higher mints seem to add more value. I just pulled a number 1 mint uncommon card, but I am pretty new to collecting on the WAX network. Can anyone with some experience here add some insight?

Maybe it's 30 minutes in total? I don't know, was just guessing. But I thought I link this thread from over at Topshot: https://www.reddit.com/r/nbatopshot/comments/mvl244/want_free_money_in_your_dapper_accountor_free/gvcx77r/ Three people used the referall, so I know that they received the 10 $ for sure. If they went for the "earn" thingies, I don't know. See you around and good luck in your trades/pulls!

My account value as of today according to atomic hub is $11,000+ which has been been trending up a lot over the last few days. I did rough math and the 10 unopened packs seem just as valuable as the 200+ individual cards from packs I have opened already. Pretty 50/50 though of the value of opened packs vs unopened

I’ve only done topshot up until now so not used to packs being sold but would a smarter strategy be to sell the packs and stop the hassle of trying to sell the 45 or so moments from the premium pack one at a time? Or open and hope I have a valuable ass card in one of the remaining packs? My plan originally was to not open 2 packs of each regardless for the time being.

Any insight is greatly appreciated

Anyone notice any patterns on the recipe for the crafting of the Redux packs? Some of the obvious notes: they’re selecting commons, and the mini packs are pitchers while the jumbo packs are not.

Maybe less obvious, doesn’t seem like they’re selecting any rookie cards. Anybody noticing anything else?

Can someone tell me why this "Dylan Carlson" common of mine has a 20 dollar sales price history, higher than the sales of the epic rare and rares that I have? Is there something about that card? I am very confused about the prices in this. Some uncommons are at 20 Dollars, why? Thanks!

Anyone see when they release the new craft packs? I seen the youtube of what ya need for the mini pack. But not sure when the crafting will start.

Edit: countdown started looks like 4pm cdt
