2018 Topps Bowman Chrome 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.

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 are the only place for extra patterned parallels such as Green Atomic Refractors (/99) and Gold Shimmer Autographs (/50), plus other low-numbered autograph subsets exclusive to this configuration.

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.
