Does anyone know the difference between the hobby and retail versions of the products below? Not sure if it is cardstock and one is thicker or if one is glossy. Any help would be great.

2014 topps strata
2014 topps prime

I believe both of those were just thickness differences. The retail was super thing (like regular Topps), which the hobby is about twice the thickness.

And they justify that by saying, "You're buying more paper."

I think it's probably the guarantees, more than the paper thickness. Someone's a bit cynical of late.
