2022-23 Hoops Basketball Hobby Box
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.
- 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.
- Fat Pack
- One oversized retail pack of 25 to 35 cards, also sold as a cello or value pack. It offers the most base cards per dollar, sometimes with a few exclusive parallel colors.
- asia
- A box distributed for the Asia-Pacific market, adding region-exclusive parallels on top of the standard checklist. Collectors chase them because those parallels exist nowhere else. The exclusive cards usually carry Asia in their names, so the card itself tells you it came from a regional box.
- 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.
