2018-19 Panini Threads Basketball Hobby Box
What are these options?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
