Play Ball! Take 2

Just about a week ago I wrote this post about how TOPPS and WAX have teamed up to offer Major League Baseball NFTs on the WAX blockchain. I am pretty excited about this.

Up until now WAX has been playing a bit of a second fiddle to ETH when it comes to the NFT space. That is truly a shame when you consider that WAX is far cheaper, faster, and has less of an environmental impact than ETH since it is DPoS.

There is a lot to like about the WAX blockchain. It is actually very similar to Hive since at their core they were both designed by the same person.

I preached about how WAX was a veritable steal when it was trading for right around $.03 about a year ago. At $.22 now I still think it is a steal. I can see it breaking the $1 at some point during the next altcoin run if not higher.

The sale starts tomorrow at 1 PM EST and although it is on the WAX blockchain the purchase of cards are exclusively via Credit Card. You do need to have a WAX Cloud Wallet login to access the site. It is fairly easy to sign up for a Cloud Wallet using any social media login. Just make sure you enable two factor authentication after you create it.

I was lucky enough to snag one of the Opening Day packs by signing up early on their website. Those are selling on the secondary market for around $40 now.

I was also lucky enough to grab one of their promo packs that they just released a little over an hour ago. These packs only hold one card and you were only allowed to claim one of them per account.

As you can see from the picture above, I might have went a little crazy on the AH picking up several more of the single card packs for between $5 to $7 each.

Why you may ask?

Take a look at the packs that are going to go on sale tomorrow and tell me if you notice anything about them?

Not seeing it?

That's right, the chance to get a legendary collectible with the standard packs are 0, and the chance with the premium packs are 0.04%. The chance of getting a legendary collectible with the promo pack is 1%.

You might think that 1% isn't that great of a chance, but compared to the other packs, I will take it!

I now have 10 promo packs that have a 1% chance of giving me a legendary collectible.

Then again, they could also give me one of the other levels of collectible. I will only know if I choose to open them. I might just hold off a while and see if the price of the packs goes up. It is possible there could be a run on them in the future as people look for those coveted cards.

I plan on snagging some packs during the sale tomorrow. Hopefully WAX and TOPPS get the minor issues they were having with the site fixed before then. It was kind of a speed game of hitting the F5 button today when the promo packs went live!

Nice job. Was the promo pack free or did it cost some WAx/money?

The first one was free. The other 9 I bought on the market with WAX.

I guess they are out because it says I need to wait an entire day before the next listing. I bookmarked the page so I can get one tomorrow.

Best of luck! Did you click the tab at the top that says WAX? I had to do that to see the promo packs. They don't show up otherwise.
