1997-98 Topps Finest Boxes

[pgrossma]

I put a group of '97-98 Topps Finest hobby boxes on eBay yesterday. Today I received an inquiry as to how I can confirm that they are hobby and not retail.

I'm pretty confident that they are in fact hobby boxes (reputable seller sold them to me several years ago as such, etc.) but I've forgotten over the years a) if there's even such a thing as retail boxes for this product b) if so, how to distinguish between the two types. Can anyone out there jog my memory?

Thanks,

Sir, that was me that asked you about them on Ebay. I will post some pictures of some empty hobby boxes on here when i get home today. I just couldn't see if the H was on the boxes or not. Thats all that i was asking.

Thanks for the follow-up. There is no H that I've been able to find on the boxes that I have. Since I haven't thought about the product in a while, I felt that I needed to do some double-checking to make sure that I was representing my items accurately. I'll plan on reviewing your pictures--my expectation is that they'll look very familiar. :)

I'm fixing to dig them out and check. I hope yours are hobby so that i can bid on them......they are getting quite difficult to find.
