Hobby Box
Also known as: Hobby, Hobby configuration
A hobby box is the premium, collector-focused packaging of a trading card product, distributed exclusively through authorized hobby shops and online card retailers. Hobby boxes typically guarantee a certain number of autographs, relics, or other "hits" per box, and often contain hobby-exclusive parallels and inserts not available in retail versions. While more expensive than retail boxes, hobby boxes offer better odds at premium cards and are the standard format for serious collectors and box breaks.
