RETAIL vs. HOBBY: 11 RETAIL BOXES vs. 1 HOBBY BOX of the new 2023-24 Topps Chrome Basketball! 😳🔥

- I am comparing retail versus hobby by opening 11 retail Value Blaster, Monster Mega, and Hanger boxes against 1 hobby box of the new 2023-24 Topps Chrome NBA basketball for our next collectible sports trading card pack unboxing/box break! The new Topps Chrome Basketball has taken the hobby by storm thanks to the Victor Wembanyama autograph potential, and one of the toughest decisions facing collectors is whether to go with retail or hobby when buying these new sets. Hobby usually has better quality, a higher ceiling, rarer parallels, case-hits, guaranteed hits, and better overall odds for a higher price. On the other hand, retail is cheaper with exclusive parallels, lots of quantity, and tougher chances at rare cards. In this series, I am setting out to find which format of this super popular set is the best for the price! In total, we have $450 in hobby packs and $450 in retail packs. Some notable cards to look for include the first pack-pulled rookie autographs of Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama, premium chrome cards of the top players from the 2023 NBA Draft class, 1/1 Superfractors, special LeBron James autographs (2003-04 Time Machine & Base Bron Autos), ultra-rare SSP case hit inserts (Superfly, Rock Stars, Let's Go, Exposé, Radiating Rookies, Helix), various SP/SSP parallels (Refractor, Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5, FrozenFractor numbered to negative five, Geometric, Negative, Prism, Magenta, Purple, Speckle, Aqua, Blue Lava, Green Wave), exclusive retail inserts (SP Pink Basketball, Green Topps Logo, Blue Baskebtall, Orange Basketball, various inserts (Youthquake, Finesse, Destiny, Coast to Coast, Season's Best, Sudden Impact, Film Study, Power Boosters, Roundball Royalty, DNA), signature cards of the NBA's top rookies/stars/legends/HOFers from multiple sets (Base Chrome Autos, 1972, Certified Rookie Autographs, Future Stars), rare cards of Wemby, Steph Curry, Brandon Miller, LBJ, Jayson Tatum, Scoot Henderson, Keyonte George, Shaq, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Brunson, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, & Dereck Lively II, and more! These boxes can be purchased at Fanatics, Game Stop, Walmart, Target, your local sports card hobby shops, and online retailers/sellers. After watching the video, vote for the winner/best format in the comments! Which sets should be featured in the next episode of Retail vs. Hobby?

I did better in retail wemby refractor & green
I have done better in retail, over the years, but I have bought more retail, too.The cardshops in my area have all closed down, so I won't ever find out with Wemby.
Hobby clear winner. Do Prizm vs Chrome Hobby or Retail.
It’s always great to watch a breaker who isn’t an annoying frat boy. Thanks for being a normal chill guy Packman
Thanks! 😂👍🏼
This sounds a little like targeting😂
Right!! Well said.
You’re clearly just as lame as he is if you find him entertaining, we watch him because he spends a ridiculous amount of money opening boxes that no one else is stupid enough to do
*cough* Backyard Breaks *cough*
For the past couple of years retail stuff was awful, but Topps and Panini have made it a little bit better. Still wish we could go back to $20 blasters though.
retail vs hobby is great, would love to see more of this!
pulled a Brandon Miller Auto the other day from a blaster!! So stoked !!!
I pulled his auto out of the hanger 🔥 🔥
Nice cards, Might be a great idea to battle Baseball VS Basketball Hobby.
Shoutout to Packman for picking me for the TH-cam giveaway. Super cool of him to do that
Hey Packman just wanna say that I love your videos and I have been watching you for years! It’s crazy to see how far your channel has come so I just wanna congratulate you and keep up the amazing videos!
Enjoy watching your videos, you seem pretty down to earth. That's rare at times on TH-cam when so many people overhype stuff with click bait. Thanks for keeping it 💯!😊
Would love to see more of this type of video! I found it really fun to watch!
Love the videos, getting back into the hobby after a few years away. Your vids make it easy to get back into it.
Just started getting back into the hobby with my son, these retail vs hobby videos help tremendously. Appreciate the hustle, keep it up.
Awesome video!!! Got into collecting when I went into toxic shock and lost toes, feeling in my legs and hands… list goes on… but I find peace and happiness in collecting! Just learning now and you help so much! Awesome videos keep it up! 🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥
Always a good day when you can watch a Pack review video!! Love this !!
New to the hobby what’s the best product to open to get victor wembanyama rc
Great day for a packman vid 🎉🎉
Curious to see which one of these win... Hyped as always!
Great video once again. Love to see these battles, great information and cool rips
Love the videos man keep grinding!!🔥🔥
always a fun video, thanks for being such a great dude!
18:41 not just a breaker. An athlete!
I’ve just started getting into sports card collecting. It’s great to watch you open so many boxes to see what’s good compared to what’s not. Can’t wait for future vids!
Radical video dude
Hobby all the way. Love these VS videos Pak. Thanks
The Hobby crushed the 11 retail boxes! I think you had some nice rookie autos and the pink Wemby is nice! Thanks for the fun video and GL on your next rip!
I only saw one mega box out in the retail world. Passed. This series reminds of the final Topps Basketball cards in 2009. A huge reason they are so valuable is because everyone passed up on these, they were just hideous. It’s pure dumb luck I had any. Bought a handful of packs and bought the base rookies I didn’t have online. Bought a few gold, of course no Curry, Harden, or Holiday. Griffin, Jennings, Rubio, Evans were what most of us were after. We may see a similar situation in a few years. Sure they’re flying off the shelves but out of all the collectors and sellers I know, if they bought any at all it was a blaster or mega box or two. Basically as soon as they find a Wemby they’re done.
Always been supporting 😊❤
Love these versus battle kind of videos
Really appreciate the videos!
Is there a check.list for the cards 🤔
Are you gonna do this with composite too packman??
If a lot of people want it, I’ll do that one next!
Awesome videos as always
Thanks!
Tough boxes man. Was hoping that you’d hit more.
I pulled that same Jordan Hawkins auto out of a retail blaster (from my first box, and haven’t hit anything since 😢)
Thanks for sharing !! Appercaite your videos
Love the comparison really gives an insight on what is expected, thankyou pack!
nice video but whats tne difference between hobby, retail, mega, hanger boxes?? too many haha would like to start to collect
My unverstanden is that Hobby is the best card wise and hanger, mega,... boxes are all retail but have different Box sizes for the series
fun video! would love to see retail vs hobby for other sets!
Thanks Packman. Hobby is definitely the way to go from this set. Unfortunately I opened a box and it wasn't the best besides a Whitmore Refractor Auto.
So relaxing love the video
That battle was over at pink Wemby.
Thanks for the video
I get it, in 90% of the cities and towns in this country, retail is IT! But, it's not 1980, 1990, not even the early 2000's, as today, with the click of a mouse YOU can purchase hobby boxes and have them at your door in less than a week. You can also buy into breaks of the harder-to-find product, NOT when they have slow breaking days or nights, but when they are selling out spots, like crazy, regardless if it's PYT(Pick Your Team) or Random.
i love watching this dudes videos
Thanks for watching! ❤
Trying to figure out what the rare cards are besides auto
I’ve only bought one hanger box and one monster box. Got an auto in the hanger box, but it wasn’t anyone of note. I pulled a blue basketball Wembanyama of his base rookie and another auto out of the monster box.
Thanks for sharing!
As always much love & respect brotha ❤🎉
do u throw out base cards?
new to all of this love watching your videos cause you explain very well. good luck to everyone in the givy as well
Great video! Thankyou
Love your vids Pac-Man ! I really hope fanatics and Topps turn this hobby around when they get the license back !
These are great I needed this to see what was worth it more your vids are always so fun and helpful
Like your video. Thanks a lot. Very clear and good quality image. Help me to decide which one I have to purchase or I would like to purchase. In Europe it's difficult to get them. :P
Always fun to watch...
Very new to the hobby but I can tell after a ridiculous amount of joyous time watching videos that Packman is my favorite. One word. Genuine.
You join a short list of famous PMs. Go Danny McGavin! 😂
Thanks for the givvy👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great content! I’ve been seeing a lot of breakers with the new prizm deca basketball and I would love to see you do a breakdown with that one. Keep up the good work 🤙🏽
I never know if I’m gonna start collecting again. These video always help me make my decision. Love watching your vids
Hobby definitely
I love this series
Love the battle videos!
NBA Mosaic next hobby vs retail. I pulled some number Wemby's outta retail so fair so retail is my winner at the moment
Super awesome pulls
Difference between retail and hobby??
Can you explain which stack is what ? Great videos btw!
Another great vid!
For hobby I pulled a roundball royalty chrome victor wembenyama, I don’t know much about rookie prices, what do ya think
First time comment. Love your show and how you breakdown all types of packs. Thank you
love the vs videos
I have always been a believer in retail if you buy the same value in boxes to boxes. But that retail rip was hard to watch. After the first pack I was thinking yep here we go retail, but dang did that tank after that.
love retail vs hobby!
It's incredibly clear that Topps stacked their first shipments of this product with all the Wemby autos and inserts. It worked. This product blew up! Everyone still chasing cards that are already pulled and throwing money away now.
Great vid as always
I am excited to see several formato for retail!
Where does he get the blaster boxes?
For me this is definitely the best sports cards channel
Great vid!
Love the content and info...
Hi bro it makes me so happy when you post❤
Huge opening! thanks
Love the content Pack!!!!!!
Love the videos PackMan!
Always enjoy watching you boss thanks for the fin rip!!
Great video!
Fun video!!🎉
I have been enjoying your openings!
Went to Walmart and pulled Wemby auto from a mega the other day. First big pull from retail, very pleased to say the least!
Right after school I can chill and watch a packman video so happy ❤🎉
love the content BTW
Thanks! ❤
even the hanger box packaging is unlicensed 🙃
love these Videos
Hobby won 🏆 😎 💰
Topps chrome basketball hobby box won the contest but I'll stick with buying retail boxes!!🎉 Great video Packman!!!
Why do you have 3 different card stacks?
Love me that Whitmore card. My wild pick of the upcoming year is a breakout by Cam, and an even better year from my Knicks. Game was over before you even opened up the box
Man always great content on your channel
You got me back into this and I’m loving it. Hit a couple autos so far and i feel like a kid again! Except I gotta buy these packs myself now
My school blocks youtube but I found a way to get here. Another fun video :).
Shoutout pack for being the only TH-camr worth watching after being away from the hobby for five years
Great video, haven’t ventured into basketball, only football, looks good though
love the videos! so fire!
