Oh my - third rate gacha site goes offline due to security incident. Customers cannot currently view their items or access account balances.
Geoff and Darren aren't working in the capacities that they are today if those buyers didn't exist in the space. A five year + phenomenon is just dawning on the Sports Card Investor. This level of ignorance is almost unbelievable.
I don’t like this…
@darrenrovell reports that PrizePicks was the buyer of the Flagg, Harper & Knueppel Debut Patches.
They paid $13 million for 3 cards… to possibly put them in repacks??
I would MUCH rather see them go into a high-end collection.
If they’re put in repacks, they’ll be resold again, and the cycle will continue.
These cards are really special. They should be treated as such.
This is what insurance was supposed to be
An LA hospitality group runs 25 bars, many of them right by Dodger Stadium. Every extra playoff game means packed bars. An early exit means lost revenue they were counting on.
So they hedged it. They put $60,000 on Kalshi on the Dodgers *not* making the World Series.
The Dodgers lost the NLCS to the Brewers. The position returned nearly 2x, helping cover the playoff business that *never* came.
A Columbia law professor told Fortune it works like “a form of bespoke insurance.”

Very refreshing to see RTP used since it acknowledges the product is in fact a slot machine equivalent.
Online slots run 94-97% RTP. And that’s dollar return. Not “last comp Pokemon card value”
Shows how fcked the space is
When I say Shiny is the best platform to open packs, this is what I mean
Nowhere else even comes close to the RTP we offer our customers, let alone basic features like truly verifiable randomness
As we continue to grow and scale our inventory to compete, we will be #1
