What is the difference in the Fleer 2006 Basketball card hobby box and retail box (both have 36 packs)?

Question

I keep seeing on eBay a Hobby box which has 36 packs, 10 cards per pack. Then I see a box which also has 36 packs but it does not say hobby. What is the difference? 2006 Fleer Basketball cards......

Answer 1

Yes, both the 2006-2007 Hobby and Retail boxes have 36 packs/10 cards per pack. The differences are:

1) The hobby box has the word "HOBBY BOX" to the bottom right of the Fleer logo on the box lid.
2) The hobby will exclusively feature one original 86-87 Fleer Buybacks card falling one per box on average. Buybacks are original 86-87 Fleer cards purchased by the manufacturer to be inserted into packs at random... including MJ's RC.
