Any of you basketball guys know how to tell hobby from retail in this set? My commons are real shiny and kind of thick, but I have no recollection of buying a hobby pack. Which doesn't mean anything.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

So I just came across this today. I had no idea there was a difference between the Hobby base set and the Retail base set. Consider me completely confused. I only bought these at Target, so I should move all my base cards of this set to the Parallel set "Retail"? Are all the inserts shared between the two sets? I just want to make sure I have my cards documented properly.
Has this ever been done before?

I think it's more common in football than any other sport.

Shannon, yes, if they came from Target they are retail. Inserts and parallels appear to be shared but I did not open any of the hobby set, so I can't be 100% sure- only 99%.
2013-14 Panini Titanium was done the same way, where the hobby was thick and the retail thin.
It is worth noting that the 2003-04 and 2004-05 Skybox L.E. sets had hobby/retail differences. In those sets, in both cases, hobby was die cut and retail was not.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Thanks for the information guys. I went ahead and moved my base collection over to the Retail Parallel. I have my cards organized by set how the TCDB lists them. It's going to be weird seeing all of the inserts and parallels ahead of the "Base" retail set.

Bringing up this old thread. A new forum discussion about the No Black Line Fleer VARs got me thinking about this.
Should the Retail version of these cards really be listed as a Parallel set? Or should they be VARs? I don't think I have an opinion one way or the other, but curious as to what others think in situations like these.

Good point. I see why parallel makes sense.
