2013 draft hobby is 61 per

Jumbo is 170

Which has better value?

It's pretty much 3 hobbys to 1 jumbo...
Hobby usually has better color inserts/autos
Jumbo gets you 3 autos but not as much color IMO
I'd say hobby is your best bet

Ok thanks last question:

Are these decent prices to buy at?

Hard to say, not much of the checklist is out yet. I think $170 is high for the jumbos.

Im considering buying a few cases myself, might wait a few days after release though.

I locked into Bowman Draft hobbys for about $55 a box, so I picked up 4 cases. I'm staying away from Jumbo's because the ones for Draft last year didn't have a lot of color.

It seems to me like the blue waves are being added to the jumbo's. That would somewhat explain why they're pricier than years past.

I thought they were added to both Hobby and Jumbo.

I'm in for a case and a half of hobby. It was much better than jumbo last year. I can't wait. Bryant Frazier smith Peterson all in

Adding one parallel to a product won't raise the price that much.

It's simply because Draft Jumbos are allocated. Most people have to order 4-6 hobby cases just to be able to buy one jumbo case.

I'm sticking to Hobby myself, got 3 cases coming.

In my opinion....

Jumbo boxes have had a higher price increase percentage in the short term (First 3-4 weeks of a product release).

But if you follow Hobby vs. Jumbo over the past few years, the "value" has yo-yo'd. One hear it would be Hobby better, the next year it would be Jumbo is better. So who knows this year...??? If I was offered a free case of Hobby or Jumbo? I'd take the Jumbo.
