What Hobby Box?

What 2012 hobby box under $100 would have the best autos/game used? I need to get one for my 9 year old son. Wondering about suggestions for baseball.

Not trying to be mean, but how about asking your 9 year old son what hobby box he would want?

Well the majority of baseball hobby boxes under $100 pretty much only contain (1) auto per box, here are a few choices that offer a little more:

2012 Bowman Platinum Baseball $109 a box

• Two Autographs
• One Autographed Relic
• 100 Total Cards

2012 Topps Finest$66 a box

• One Numbered Rookie Refractor Autograph
• One Numbered Autographed Jumbo Relic Rookie Autograph
• One Faces of the Franchise Insert
• Two Finest Moments Inserts
• One Game Changers Insert
• Four Refractors
• Two X-Fractors

2012 Topps Allen & Ginter $78 a box

• Three Total Hits (Autographs, Relics, Cut Signatures, Vintage Allen & Ginter Cards and Rip Cards)
• 24 Mini Cards Including Four Mini Inserts
• 20 Inserts
• One Box Loader
• 12 Short Prints
• 193 Total Cards

Another suggestion since your son is 9, he might appreciate a box of Triple Play since there are animated cards and targeted towards kids, no auto or GU hits but they are still fun looking cards and go about $22 a box.

Thanks Cardbandit. They are a birthday present he doesn't know he is getting.

I would go with Topps Finest or regular Topps. If they are a gift, he will treat them well. Guaranteed to get some sort of auto/jersey combo. Allen and Ginter is too many non baseball cards for a young kid to enjoy. Platinum is fine, but geared towards propsects.

i would get something a little older 07 was a good year so was 08 and that way maybe he will get some players he likes.
