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.
- 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.

Frequently asked
Who's 2022-23 Panini Donruss Optic for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What are the key rookies in 2022-23 Donruss Optic?
The big three are Paolo Banchero, Jabari Smith Jr., and Jaden Ivey. Other notable rookies include Bennedict Mathurin, Keegan Murray, and Chet Holmgren. All 50 rookies are numbered 201-250 in the base set and appear on Rated Rookie Signatures autographs.
How many autographs come in a hobby box?
You get one autograph per hobby box. Most are Rated Rookie Signatures with hard signatures, though you can also pull veteran autographs. Parallels of the autos include Holo, Blue (/49), Black Pandora (/25), Gold (/10), Green (/5), and Gold Vinyl (1/1) versions.
What's the difference between hobby and Fast Break boxes?
Hobby boxes have 20 packs of 4 cards each. Fast Break boxes have 10 packs of 9 cards each. Fast Break has its own exclusive parallel set with small circles in the background (Holo Fast Break, Purple Fast Break, etc.) and comes 20 per case instead of 12.
What parallel tiers are in this product?
There are a ton. Hobby-exclusive parallels range from common (Photon, Basketball) to numbered tiers like Orange (/199), Lime Green (/149), Red (/99), Pink Velocity (/79), Blue (/49), Black Velocity (/39), Gold (/10), Green (/5), and 1/1 versions (Black, Gold Vinyl). Fast Break has its own parallel set with similar numbering.
Is the base design the same as regular 2022-23 Donruss?
Yes, the design matches the flagship Donruss set, but Optic cards are printed on opti-chrome stock, giving them a more metallic look and slightly upscale feel compared to regular Donruss.
What inserts should I hunt for?
Hobby exclusives include All-Stars, Elite Dominators, Lights Out, Raining 3s, The Rookies, and Star Gazing. These are bold and colorful sets typical of Donruss releases. Odds aren't published for individual inserts, so pulls are unpredictable.
Are there retail-exclusive versions?
Yes. Blaster boxes have their own exclusive parallels like Copper Glitter (/99) and Two Tone (/15), plus Rated Rookies Signatures Checkerboard (1/1) and Black (1/1) versions exclusive to retail.
