Hobby Box and normal sealed box

[zodiac]

hi all
may i know the major difference between Hobby box and normal basketball box?

will the Hobby box have higher chance to get better/rare card compare with the normal sealed box? and will not have double/repeat in particular card?

for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/05-06-TOPPS-...goryZ646QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/05-06-TOPPS-...goryZ646QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

the number of card in each packs are different.

would be appreciate if someone can tell me.

thank you.

In this case I would suggest that the box Westriot is selling is most likely contains retail packs. You'll definitely have better odds of pulling a better card from a Hobby Box. Having said that I think there are better products out there than Total for the money. Also a quick check on US Ebay also shows both boxes but the listings all say only 10 cards per pack regardless of box type. It may be worth e-mailing Westriot to confirm quantity in the packs.

I have brought off both of them and they both sent out boxes without descent protection, so make sure you stress to them that you want the box well protected with bubblewrap, otherwise you'll struggle to get the box replaced or refunded.
