With the introduction of Crafting, I think Top Shot has now set up the runway for almost every moment to be categorized into one of 5 buckets.
I’ll attempt to do my best at explaining what these are, and how each one has its own distinct value
⬇️⬇️⬇️
1. Moments that are valuable as a Collectible, even w/o additional utility
This is the smallest bucket of the five, and I would assume that over a longterm lens these are the moments that most closely mirror the cardboard market. As such, almost all of these moments have badges
Not every badge will have equal value. If a Bismack Biyombo rookie card doesn’t have value, there’s a good chance his TSD won’t either. However, for the stars and fan favorites, these are popular
This is the bucket I’ve tried to consolidate my account into over the last month
NCAA #MarchMadness Bracket Trends thread…based on tournament data since 2010
Here’s a ton of trends that have held steady over the last 10+ years of madness. I typically use this as a tool to backcheck against once my bracket is filled out.
Here we go…
There has been an average of 9 upsets in the Round of 64 each year
2015 had the least with 5, and 2016 had the most with 13. There has been 4 years since 2010 that had 10 first round upsets
This one’s a no-brainer, make sure you aren’t just picking the lower seeds every game!
There has been an average of 2 wins by 13/14/15 seeds in the Round of 64
2021 had the most with 4, and 2017 had the least with 0. Every other year there was been at least 1 win!
So it’s wise to pick one or two cinderellas…but how do we best identify them?
Late news regarding Ridley/JWilliams shook things up before lock
Was pretty locked into the following lineup since Fri (which is rare for me):
Hurts, Swift, Hendo, Ridley, Godwin, Higgins, Hubbard, Arnold, WAS
Ended up here and didn’t feel great tbh
Once Williams was ruled out Swift joined Henderson as the only real must plays on the slate for me. Both guys were projecting so high from a usage standpoint and their pricing was more than manageable. Made it easy to set RB spots and move on.
Dan Arnold has been getting a lot of opportunity since he came to Jacksonville and wasn’t priced like that in Week 8. At $2800 he felt like a great salary saver at TE. Was most popular play. Same with WAS defense. Big DL mismatch against the Broncos OL. $2100 was easy choice
