2022 Panini Absolute Baseball Hobby Box offers 10 cards per pack, but each box contains only 2 packs. There are 10 boxes in a case. With only 20 cards per box and 200 per case, the focus here is on quality and not quantity.
Cards per pack: Hobby: 10
Packs per box: Hobby: 2
Boxes per case: Hobby: 10
Based on the stated odds, collectors should expect two autographs, two memorabilia cards, and 1 insert per box.

Hobby boxes from the 2022 Panini Absolute baseball can be found on eBay.
The 2022 Panini Absolute base set consists of only 100 cards. As you can imagine with such a small set, the focus is heavily on stars. Not a lot of filler here or deep-cut team sets.
The set is a mix of current stars and retired all-time greats. There are some interesting retired players included, such as 2022 Hall of Fame inductee Gil Hodges. The rest are a mix of recently retired superstars like Mariano Rivera and Ichiro, and a few long-ago stars like Cool Papa Bell and Frank Chance (of Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance fame).
Lots of star power, for sure, but the base set is not the focus for 2022 Panini Absolute.
As with any ultra-modern offering, the parallels here represent a rainbow of colors and designs, and include several very limited offerings, including several different 1/1 parallels.
