2023-24 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.

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.

Hanger Box

The cheapest retail format, a slim box made to hang on a store peg. It gives the most cards per dollar and suits set builders more than hit chasers.

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 productEach FOTL box has 12 Prizms including 1 FOTL parallel numbered to 15, such as Neon Orange Pulsar Prizms FOTL and Neon Purple Pulsar 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 6 Prizms and add H2-exclusive Prizm base parallels: Disco, Light Blue Disco (/99), White Disco (/75) and Red Disco (/49).

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 productInternational boxes deliver 12 exclusive Prizms with Wave parallels: Red Wave, Blue Wave (/75), Green Wave (/50), Gold Wave (/10) and Dragon Scale (/8).

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.
