2023 Topps Bowman Chrome Baseball Hobby Box
Loading the enhanced checklist…
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.
- choice
- On Topps and Bowman boxes this is HTA Choice, sold through the Home Team Advantage program for participating hobby shops. The box holds one small pack in which every card is an autograph, rather than a pack of base cards with a hit inside. Bowman Chrome HTA Choice has run as a single pack of three cards, all three autographs, across many years. It has its own parallels too, such as HTA Choice Mojo and Gold Shimmer. On this productHTA Choice boxes deliver 3 Chrome autographs each and carry HTA Exclusive autograph parallels, including Green Lava Refractors numbered to 99 and Orange Wave numbered to 25.
- 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.
