I was wondering if in a future issue you could doan article on retail vs hobby and what companies do there cards different from retail to hobby ie playoff
<br />
Typically, the difference in hobby and retail is merely on the odds of how easy/hard it is to find insert cards. <br />
<br />
Companies will create minor differences or inserts found only in retail packs to help draw collectors in as well. For some high-end products (like Absolute Memorabilia), there will be a completely different pack and box configuration as well as a different look to the cards.<br />
<br />
We touch on some of the differences from time to time in Beckett Baseball.<br />
