Is there a packaging difference of the packs of 2011 Topps Chrome football between retail and hobby? I can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks to all who take their time to help me.

More hits in the Hobby which is why retail is cheaper.

Thanks, I got that part but I've seen different packaging like in the rack packs the packs are not shiny, just that light blue/white color. Then I've seen loose packs that are shiny and I assume those are retail.

Any differences in those two?

Hobby has more cards per pack but are you asking if you saw one is it a hobby pack or retail?If your not in a local card shop or something then its a retail pack.Theres no differences in the cards either way with topps chrome.

Haven't seen the packs this year - but in years past, there was always a capitalized "H" on the hobby packs with a circle around it I think.

There is a mark on the Packs and Boxes that state whether the pack is Hobby or Retail



Down in the left hand corner, see the Starburst like spot? and it has the "H" in the middle, that signifies it is a Hobby box/pack, if an "R" is there it is a retail box/pack, and HTA, would be a Home Team Advantage box/pack
