Dang retail was pretty bad (what a surprise). Optic hobby on the other hand is one of the best boxes I've seen of the product I think! Also I feel like if you pay resell for all those retail blasters it could equal out to a hobby box anyways haha

Dude you need to get the Elite Wax Box Football Club Box. It's twice as good as.boom box. It's $200 for 7 packs all hobby and you get a gauruntee separate hit card auto. The box right now comes with a 2019 Optic, 2X 2021 Contenders, 2019 Elite, 2021 Playoff, 2021 Prizm Draft H2, and a 2011 Panini Threads. You can also get a 2021 Elite instead of one of the two 2021 Contenders. The gauruntee auto cards I've seen have been really decent too like a minimum of $12-$15 value some more. No junk for sure. Definitely check it out. They offer a $90 version too but it's 1 hobby pack and like 5 or 6 retail packs plus 1 junk wax pack. Not worth it really except the 2020 and 2021 Mosaic packs but way risky for $90 and the retail game is going way down value wise for all products except Prizm and Mosaic of course. Nico Sportscards got a crazy 1/1 in his box.

@jeffstenstrom197 2 жыл бұрын

About 50.00 in resale value in 600 hobby box lol. Retail maybe 40 . But if both were current boxes the blasters would be 25-35 , so a comparison should be 20 ish blasters VS hobby box. Be cool to see 2021 prizm draft bkb hobby box vs 10 megas, 10 blasters and 10 jumbo packs. (or whatever ratio would be for same $$) I'm guessing retail wins doing the same amount and same product. I've opened soo much retail flux, prizm and optic it's hard to justify the rediculous prices on hobby , hobby prices are 4-8x what they should be but retail is kinda same as always 20-35 blaster, 45-60 mega. Alot of megas have guarantee hits too like playbook football, 50 per mega and 500+ hobby. So 10 megas I'm getting ten auto/jsy vs 1 in hobby. Granted less ceiling in retail but I've pulled several good rc autos and few booklet rcs in retail.

You are wrong, you overpay that stuff terribly. In a hobby box you get all the same base useless cards and one autograph. Usually its auto of some noname player, value around 10 bucks. So eventually you will lose a lot of money. Its a huge risk.

I agree retail's floor and ceiling are rough and especially it seems, blasters. It seems like blasters are the worst retail format, at least by Panini. I usually get retail because it is cheaper on a per box rate, and I'm usually not wanting to spend too much at any given time, but over time, I really should have just saved up for hobby and passed on the retail.

I’d rather get nothing but base out of a $25 blaster than spend 20 times as much and get a benchwarmer’s auto out of a hobby box. With the price Panini charges for a hobby box, you’d have to hit one of the better cards out of the set to even have a prayer of breaking even. At least with a blaster I don’t sweat not getting back any value and can just enjoy opening packs.

@jordandillon7114 2 жыл бұрын

Also, just my 2 cents, I fear Panini holds back the “good cards” for hobby boxes often which to me is not right. Retail odds can be drastically worse but at least throw some better stuff in there. That is why Topps retail is so much better than Panini
