The Detroit Pistons have more value than they realized.
On Sunday afternoon, over 200,000 basketball fans from all walks of life found themselves in the same spot: furiously refreshing their browsers to get in line for the newest pack drop on NBA Top Shot.
With just about 32,000 packs available, most prospective buyers would come away empty-handed. But even those who could purchase it left empty-handed. Huh?
What these fans just bought is a pack of digital cards called “moments” featuring, well, cool in-game video moments from NBA players.
