The New York Knicks secret weapon.

Diamond already laid out the full facts/checklist beautifully, so I’m not going to rehash every detail. I linked his post at the bottom. I'll offer a few thoughts on the bigger picture here. We saw last fall how one major pack drop can completely change the PBC landscape. Best of NBA packs ripped on resale, coupled with a spend promotion and huge secondary sales, created a massive amount of value for collectors, and helped ignite a much broader move across the platform. I think this World Cup drop has the potential to be even more important. Much more. There are two main layers of value creation here: ● Packs are priced well below where the market may value them, creating immediate demand and potential resale upside. ● This is a large drop, but it may also be the deepest hit product PBC has ever released. There are potentially dozens of cards with 6-figure upside, which is incredible given a total retail market cap of under $3.4M With the World Cup dynamic, some of these cards could fluctuate wildly depending on who actually wins the tournament or performs on the biggest stage. That adds another layer of speculation, strategy, and collector excitement. I view this as a major liquidity and value-creation event for the entire Panini Blockchain ecosystem. Tack on a spend promo and we’ll see wild price action (Kabooms??? One can dream). When collectors win, profits don't disappear - they tend to flow into all corners of the marketplace (both packs and singles). So even if you’re taking a wait-and-see approach on this specific collection or sport, I think the bigger takeaway is that a lot of value may be unlocked across the site - all available right now. I believe this drop alone will expand attention to this incredible product, deepen conviction, and push the entire market forward. x.com/DiamondNFL/status/2065…

This is an amazing write-up of all the deetz. Thank you @DiamondNFL This is, without a doubt, the single greatest digital collection ever made on any website to date. These will sell out very fast, and lots could miss out...But there are so many other ways to capitalize on this drop, more to come on that later. Reminder - new users as of 5/01 are eligible for our community organized giveaway where we're joining @MelitoMichael1 in giving away over $10,000 of cards including a grand prize of a Tom Brady Kaboom. Make sure you get entered if you're eligible!

There's a fundamental shift happening right now in the sports card market per @itsgeoffwilson. Physical has been seeing all-time highs, but what alternative ways to can you expose yourself in a category that maybe hasn't matured yet? #PaniniBlockchain @NBATopShot @SLAMonline

Friday Trade-In: NBA Series 2025-26 Rare Trade-In: Earn $10 Top Shot Credit • Series 2025-26 NBA Rare Moment ($6.50 Floor) • Only 400 spots available (~175 as of post) • Collectors may claim additional spots if any remain after three hours.

Well, minus one now.

With 235 packs sold on the secondary marketplace and over 50% opened, there's a ~11% chance to hit a parallel edition. Still a dozen special serials remaining in packs: 1/1 Omega, #1: Galactic, Hardcourt, Blockchain, Standard and Jersey: Blockchain, Standard and 5 Perfects..

Caitlin Clark hit her first career game-winning shot after receiving the ball with under two seconds remaining, down by one point against the Washington Mystics creating the first-ever WNBA instant Moment – own it in the WNBA Top Shot This set, pre-orders are open now.

Major news for @NBATopShot collectors as the artwork and video highlights associated with Moments -- and not just the ownership records -- are now permanently on-chain.

I wrote this post a few months ago as things started to progress, I'll drop a more in-depth article soon. x.com/DiamondNFL/status/2038…

Dapper Labs invested in and built the infrastructure to make collectibles self-sufficient. All NBA Top Shot Moments are now preserved on a decentralized network, enabling an authentic, permanent solution anyone can independently verify – a first for digital sports collectibles.

NBA Top Shot Moments will now be permanently stored on IPFS, a decentralized network, making each one a collectible that exists in perpetuity – independent of any single entity. Every video highlight, the thumbnail, and metadata. Built in collaboration with the NBA and Dapper Labs, this is expected to be announced this week. Explainer follows. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer storage network used to store, share, and access files and data without relying on central servers. IPFS is made of multiple IPFS nodes, so no one entity can control what is shared on the network, this allows immutability (unchangeable data) and permanence - but only if the data is pinned to at least one node. Pinning is what turns "accessible in theory" into "accessible permanently." The more a Moment is requested, the more nodes it passes through, and the more opportunities for it to be pinned organically by others. This can also be done deliberately through a pinning service as well, and Dapper Labs would likely use one or several of these to ensure redundancy. Whenever a node wants to share content on IPFS, it runs the content through a cryptographic hash and returns a CID (Content Identifier). The CID is tied to the content itself – change anything at all, and you get a completely different CID – this is what makes it tamper-proof. Moments will have a public CID, so anyone can independently verify the media is authentic and access the original files directly – no middleman needed. Moments will become decentralized IPFS-pinned assets to ensure they remain accessible forever, so even if Dapper Labs ceased operations, your collectibles would still exist and be retrievable, no matter what.

History repeats itself thanks to @SouthPark.

What a week ahead for this country.
