2024-25 Panini Select Basketball 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.

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.

FOTL (First Off The Line)

Panini's early-release program, First Off The Line. A limited run goes straight to collectors before the product reaches shops, and each box adds exclusive parallels or extra hits over the standard hobby box. The program started with 2016-17 Immaculate Basketball. Since 2020 many FOTL drops have been priced by Dutch auction, where the asking price opens high and steps down until the boxes sell out. On this productFOTL hobby boxes add one exclusive autograph numbered to 30 or less and one exclusive base Prizm parallel numbered to 18 or less, within the standard 3 autos or memorabilia and 12 base Prizms.

h2

Panini's compact take on a hobby box, short for Hobby Hybrid. Fewer packs, one guaranteed autograph, and parallels found only in H2 boxes. On this productH2 boxes hold 4 packs of 6 cards and average six H2-exclusive base Prizms, with H2-only parallels Disco, Gold Disco (/10) and a one-of-one Black.

international

Panini's version of a product for markets outside the US. Same checklist, with exclusive parallels in place of some domestic ones. On this productHobby International boxes carry International-exclusive parallels: Red Wave (/99), Gold Wave (/10) and the new Dragon Scale (/5) Prizms.

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.
