2025 Panini Absolute Football 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.

Hobby Mega Box

A mega box sold through card shops instead of mass retail, with its own exclusive parallels. Expect it to cost more than the retail mega of the same set.

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.

Hobby Blaster Box

A blaster-size box sold through card shops instead of mass retail. It carries its own chase content and costs more than the store-shelf blaster of the same set.

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.
