Hobby, Retail, Blaster

I was wondering what the difference is between these 3 types of boxes?

Any info would be great. I am specifically thinking about this years UD


Thanks!

Hobby boxes are what you will find at your local card shop. They're usually the most "loaded" of the three varieties, and contain all the major hits. For a set like UD1, they'll *according to the odds* have 6YGs, possibly an Exclusives /100 or Spectrum /10, 2 GU cards, inserts, and the chance at a case hit auto or acetate card.

Retail boxes will usually have 24 packs, like a hobby box, but without most of the bells & whistles. You can still get your YGs and the inserts, but not the Exclusive parallels or case hits. GU cards fall at a much lower rate.

Blaster boxes will have a few packs and run you $25. Depending on the distributor, for a set like UD1 you can get an oversized YG, the tins will have an oversized Winter Classic insert, and you're usually guaranteed 2 YGs plus a couple inserts. No bells & whistles.
