I'm getting pretty hyped over this Topshot product and I don't even have any cards yet :p. Although I lean towards more geeky collectables I do appreciate the sport of Basketball and the talent that these players have. You can really see the athleticism with a one-handed dunk over a player who is six feet tall. The NBA Topshot collectables captures those amazing moments and puts them in NFT form. You can then collect them or trade/sell them with if you want. But soon there will also be a game called Hardcourt where you can use your NFT cards to power up your starting line-up.

What Is Topshot?

Topshot is an officially NBA sponsored online collectable card site. You can buy packs that are limited and inside are moments in NBA history. The moment has a clip of something incredible that happened in game like a dunk or a game winning three. There are commons and rare ones. There are some which have already sold for a lot of money. I plan on getting a pack or two to check it out but right now there is only ones with common cards left. They run for $12 each.

Hardcourt

I do not know what hardcourt will be but the site says you can use your moments to give your starting line-up superpowers. I'm guessing you will have 5 players and you can use your NBA moments to give them perks. It would be cool if it was like a fantasy league and you can use your cards to get bonuses while you play the fantasy league. This would give the NFTs more value outside of collecting. I think this is already a thing for Soccer on a site called sorare.

NFT collecting is still new and I don't know where it will go. But I do miss the excitement of buying a pack of cards when I was young and seeing what was inside. This is something I will check out at the right price. I will not be buying any 26k Lebron cards anytime soon but I do want to play the game when it comes out. Even if I have 5 commons that are players who spend most of the time on the bench :p.

I'm also keeping an eye out if other NFT brands come out like Marvel or other geeky ones.

Anyone collecting these?
