2025-26 Topps Motif Basketball Hobby Box
Loading the enhanced checklist…
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.
- First Day Issue (FDI)
- A Topps.com-only version of a hobby box that ships a few days ahead of the normal release. It adds an FDI-exclusive autograph and FDI-only numbered parallels, and the rest of the box matches the standard one. Topps sells these itself in a timed falling-price auction that ends when stock runs out, so quantities are small. The 1990s Stadium Club 1st Day Issue cards were stamped parallels pulled from ordinary packs, an unrelated program that only shares the phrase.
- 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.
