2025 Topps Series 1 Baseball Hobby Box

Wax Pricing

What are these options?

Hobby Box

The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.

Hobby Jumbo Box

More cards in fewer, oversized packs than a regular hobby box, usually with extra guaranteed hits. It suits collectors who want volume and hits in one buy. Topps calls this tier HTA, short for Home Team Advantage, its hobby-store program.

Mega Box

A mid-size retail box, bigger than a blaster and smaller than a hobby box. Mega-exclusive parallels are the main draw, and some megas guarantee a hit.

Blaster Box

The small retail box sold at stores like Walmart and Target, usually the cheapest full box on the shelf. Autographs are not guaranteed, but many blasters carry exclusive parallels you cannot pull from a hobby box.

Retail Box

A full box of the individual packs sold loose at big-box stores, often 24 of them. Same base set as the hobby version, with fewer or no guaranteed hits.

celebration

A retail mega box version of Topps Series 1 Baseball, timed to arrive around Opening Day. Same Series 1 checklist, plus cards you can only pull from these boxes, most notably the Confetti parallels and a Mascots insert. Topps started it in 2025, when it stopped printing a standalone Opening Day set and folded that theme into Series 1 instead.

fanatics

A box sold through Fanatics rather than a hobby shop, carrying color parallels you cannot pull from the standard version of the same product. Both Topps and Panini make them, usually as a blaster or mega box. The exclusive color changes by release, and some boxes also hold redemption cards for signed memorabilia. This is the retailer exclusive, not the Fanatics Fest event release.

Cases

The factory-sealed carton a product ships in, holding a set number of boxes. A full case is the whole carton; an inner case is a smaller sealed block from inside it. Case buyers get untouched pack sequencing and a lower price per box. Some rare cards are seeded about once per case, which is what collectors mean by a case hit.
