2009 Bowman Hobby vs. Jumbo Cases: Why the difference in $$$

[docsilvey]

I've been out of the hobby for a while and was just looking at purchasing some things. Looking at 2009 Bowman, 8-box jumbo cases are $495 while 12-box hobby cases are $360. Why the huge discrepancy? Do the jumbos have more parallels like the past two years?

IMO, you get much better parallels in Jumbo.

JUMBOS HAVE MORE AUTOS....FROM WHAT I CAN MEMBER

 

[marterburn]

Jumbos have one topper (RC) auto (pretty much garbage) + one Bowman auto (no parallels, & most suck) + one Bowman Chrome auto per box i beleive. hardly enough for that specific aspect to cause the price difference.

Jumbo
3,072 total cards
576 chromes
24 autos (only 12 are chrome)

Hobby
2,880 total cards
576 chromes
12 autos

So basically you are getting 192 extra base cards and 12 extra crap autos.

The only thing I don't know is if the insert ratios for parallels are any different.
