I can’t believe I’m saying this. I like @nbatopshot. I mean I really like it. Working on this weekend’s updated Digital Collectibles Prospectus has helped clarify why—and why most of my Candy collecting is moving to Top Shot and Panini. Top Shot’s collector engagement is outstanding. Whether that’s new or I’m finally paying attention, I’m excited to log in every day. Fast Break gives me a reason to use my collection. Building my Raptors collection gives me something meaningful to chase. Mostly, I’m mad I didn’t collect more. Smaller rookie mint sizes are encouraging. I’d like to see that discipline extend to base supply. Get debut pack pricing right, and I think there’s an opportunity to bring collectors back. The marketplace data is encouraging, too. Active buyer wallets are declining, and that matters. But spending has held up, repeat buying was strong in my research, and the marketplace isn’t relying solely on a handful of big spenders. And the good Moments I want don’t seem to be getting dumped at giveaway prices. Someone sell me a Kawhi Game 7, please. Which brings me to Candy. I still love their collectibles, and I appreciate the effort CEO Tad Smith is putting into the company. I want Candy to succeed. But it’s getting harder to plan future collecting there. Declining interest in Gold and All-Star was already concerning. Returning to collecting strategies that struggled in previous years hasn’t given me much confidence that things will change. The security breach raised bigger questions for me. Candy has outlined how it plans to protect collectibles going forward, but I’m still working out what that means for my confidence in collecting there—and how much control I actually have over the collectibles I’ve purchased. Those questions matter more to my future collecting decisions than the technical fixes alone. I can love the product and still struggle to commit more money to it. And that’s the difference right now. Top Shot has me planning my next purchase. Candy has me questioning whether I should make one. Meanwhile, I’m thinking about my next Fast Break lineup, which pieces of Raptors history belong in my collection, and what that mysterious Monday wheel might mean. I’m engaged. I’m excited. I want to see what happens next. That’s a good place to be as a collector. Don’t worry, @PaniniAmerica. You continue to be great. Updated Digital Collectibles Prospectus grades on Saturday.
