2024 Panini Donruss Optic Football Hobby Box

Full checklist
2024 Panini Donruss Optic Football 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.
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.
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.
choice
Panini sells Choice as its own box tier, built around a single pack holding base cards, parallels and a guaranteed hit. The Choice-only parallels are the draw, and they carry the word in their names. Look for Choice Red, Blue, Black Gold and the one of one Choice Nebula, so the card itself tells you which box it came from. Autograph counts vary by product line. On this productOnline-exclusive Choice boxes deliver one autograph and one exclusive Rated Rookie parallel per box, with exclusive Rated Rookie parallels numbered to 24 or less.
h2
Panini's compact take on a hobby box, short for Hobby Hybrid. Fewer packs, one guaranteed autograph, and parallels found only in H2 boxes. On this productH2 boxes have eight packs of four cards and average five H2-exclusive Red or Blue Mojo parallels, one base and one Rated Rookie Holo, plus five inserts.
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.
