UPDATE: Top Shot Score has replaced Collector Score. Please visit this blog to learn all about this exciting new aspect of collecting on NBA Top Shot!
Collector Score is a game-changing feature for the NBA Top Shot experience.
The simple idea is that your Collector Score is a point value sum of the Moments you own.* Each Moment in your collection, depending on its tier, Series and whether or not that Moment was a Challenge Reward, will contribute a set amount of points toward your Collector Score. The system allows for flexible collecting. As we all know, there is no one way to collect on NBA Top Shot. Collector Score gives every Moment specific utility and strategy, rewarding collectors of all levels with perks for growing their collection however they see fit.
As packs remain in extremely high demand, Collector Score has become the most reliable mechanic to ensure our most active collectors have access to the most exclusive pack drops, while incentivizing newer collectors to grow their collections as a path to gaining access to exclusive pack drops.
Below is a breakdown of the scoring system we’ve implemented. The weighted scoring system is subject to change as we optimize it in the future.
Collector Score is updated in real time each collector’s profile.
Common (Base Set only): 25 points
Common (Non-Base Set): 40 points
Rare: 100 points
Legendary: 2000 points
Series 1 Challenge Reward Moments:
Common (Base Set only): 37 points
Common (Non-Base Set): 60 points
Rare: 150 points
Legendary: 3000 points
Common (Base Set only): 12 points

Common (Non-Base Set): 20 points
Rare: 80 points
Legendary: 1000 points
Series 2 Challenge Reward Moments:
Common (Base Set only): 18 points
Common (Promo) Challenge Reward: 15 points
Common (Non-Base Set) Challenge Reward: 30 points
Rare: 120 points
Legendary: 1500 points
* Moments in unopened packs do not count toward your Collector Score.
** Promo includes Moments from high volume and/or earnable sets such as The Gift.
*** Points are subject to change for future drops as this is still in testing.
Series 1 - Challenge Completion + Reward Owned
Common (Non-Base Set) = 20 points
Rare = 50 points
Legendary = 1000 points
Series 2 - Challenge Completion + Reward Owned
Common (Non-Base Set) = 70 points
Common (Promo) = 35 points
Rare = 280 points
Legendary = 3,500 points
Summer 2021 Updates
With the dawn of a new series we are updating Collector Score to include points for Summer 2021. Rest assured, your current collector score will be calculated in the same manner as it always was, but new Moments will change the dynamics (though not the calculation!) of bonuses. The point values are laid out in the charts below:
Summer 2021 Non-Rewards
Common NBA: 2
Common WNBA: 20
Fandom: 10
Common Non-Base: 2
Rare: 80
Legendary: 1000
Summer 2021 Rewards
Common Base: 10
Fandom: 15
Common Non-Base: 10
Rare: 120
Legendary: 1500
Summer 2021 Challenge Completion+Reward Owned
Fandom: 35
Common Non-Base: 40
Rare: 280
Legendary: 3500
One additional note about bonuses: for the Summer 2021 series there will not be individual series bonuses for this series. There will still be complete set bonuses and full team bonuses (for owning at least one Moment from every player to ever appear on a given team in any series).
* There are no Fandom Moments in Series 1 or Series 2
Series 3 Updates
Series 3 Non-Rewards
Common Base: 2
Fandom: 10
Common Non-Base: 2
Rare: 80
Legendary: 1000
Series 3 Rewards
Common Base: 10
Fandom: 15
Common Non-Base: 10
Rare: 120
Legendary: 1500
Series 3 Challenge Completion + Reward Owned
Common Base: 40
Fandom: 35
Common Non-Base: 40
Rare: 280
Legendary: 3500
BONUSES
Need to up your Collector Score? That’s where bonuses come in.
From drop to drop, we will attach bonuses to your Collector Score to help collectors work themselves into eligibility for the drop. Bonuses change from drop-to-drop to ensure we’re rewarding different collectors with different strategies at every turn.
For now, here are the bonuses to be mindful of as you build your collection. Note, these are subject to change while in testing:
- Set Completion Bonus - Now you can double-up on points when you complete a set. So if you own all 18 Hustle and Show Moments, that's a complete Hustle and Show set.
- Series Team Bonus - For fans who go all-in on their squads. Collect at least one Moment from each player on a team of your choice for a given series, get a 50% bonus on each Moment. [Please note: this only applies to the 30 current NBA teams, so there will be no team bonuses awarded for Team LeBron and Team Durant from the 2021 All-Star Game set. This is also the case for WNBA teams in Summer 21.]
- Full Team Bonus: For our completionists (and super fans). Collect at least one Moment from each player ever to be featured on a team of your choice and score big. This bonus is not for the faint of heart. New historical Moments from the Rare and Legendary tiers (including Run It Back, NBA All-Star Classics and Deck The Hoops) will make it nearly impossible to acquire ALL of the Moments from every player on a specific team across all series.
- Challenge Completion + Reward Owned: If you’ve completed a Challenge and still own that Challenge Reward, you will receive a bonus. You do not need to hold onto the other Moments that you used for the challenge.
TL;DR
As promised, all of the above boils down to some pretty simple stuff.
- Complete sets and double up on points with Set Completion bonuses.
- Complete challenges and hold on to challenge rewards for Challenge Completion bonuses.
- Collect at least one Moment from each player on a team of your choice for a given series and score Series Team Completion bonuses.
- Collect at least one Moment from each player ever to be featured on a team of your choice and score big time Full Team Completion bonuses.
We've seen collectors already building up their Top Shot collections in these fun ways. We’ll continue to iterate and optimize to best incentivize collectors to show off their fandom even more.
Editor's Note: The "Full Team Bonus" portion of this blog post was updated on Monday, March 7, 2022, to reflect the fact that Legendary Series 3 Moments from the Deck The Hoops and NBA All-Star Classics Sets make it challenging for collectors to earn a Full Team Bonus for Collector Score, not just the Rare Run It Back Set.
