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.
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.

Q2What makes 2020-21 Premier worth opening?
Every box is loaded with autographs. You're guaranteed one hard-signed Acetate Auto Patch card plus three more autographs or memorabilia hits, making it one of the most auto-heavy products of the year.
Q3Who are the key rookies in this set?
The big names are Kirill Kaprizov, Alexis Lafreniere, Tim Stutzle, and Jason Robertson. All 50 rookies in the base set (cards 51-100) get their own Acetate Auto Patch cards, which is the main chase.
Q4How do the base card parallels work?
The 100-card base set (50 vets, 50 rookies) is numbered to 299. You can also pull Gold parallels (/65) and Platinum (1/1) versions. Every box includes one vet base or parallel and one rookie base or parallel.
Q5What's the deal with Acetate Auto Patch cards?
These are the cornerstone of Premier. Rookie versions come numbered to 249, 149, or 99 depending on the player. Veteran versions are much rarer, capped at 35, 25, or 15 copies. Gold (/65 or lower) and Platinum (1/1) parallels exist for both.

Yes. Rookie Exposé is a new acetate autograph set. 2020 Premier Rookie Autographs combine ink and jersey swatch with rare Patch (/15) and Tag Patch (1/1) parallels. Rookie Paramount is also new, featuring memorabilia and patch versions of top rookies.
