That's Jumbo. it's not horrible, but not nearly as good as hobby

[nflfans4ever]

There's a product named " Ronald Acuna "
You should try this one, wont be disappointed !

I've been buying sealed 2018 update. Prices are going to keep going up as the season progresses.

update case for a couple $$?!?! let me know where

I joke, I joke

Agree, though, if you have $200, maybe get 3 boxes of Hobby at ~$60/box, and hopefully you can even find them with silver packs.

BTW for OP: don't choose Jumbo Hobby, just basic Hobby. Sure Jumbo gets you more autographs, but those are unlikely to be overwhelming... otherwise, per box, Jumbo only has between 0-40% more other parallel cards (i.e., color, SP, SSP), where most of the value in this product resides.

I got 7 Hobby boxes coming from the recent ebay 15% off coupon. What should I be looking for? I was thinking the Acuna Bats Down was in this, but that's in series 2.

Acuna "bats up variation" is the SSP everyone wants. But he actually has two SSP... not sure why the other one is going for so much less ("field variation"), other than aesthetics. Both have a ~300 card print run.

There is also a SP version of his back in a red jersey with blue sleeves... the SP has a print run of nearly 3000, so rare, but not like the SSP.

He also has some insert and other variations from the color, etc.

Soto also has a SP and SSP - I'd love to get that SSP where he is getting dumped with water.

Base card has a print run of ~145,000, so guess save them, but those will never be particularly rare unless highly graded

(BTW just discovered you can not answer simply "yes" or you get an error "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.")

You can see all the variations here including the SP and SSP versions, this will help as you bust this great product.

VERY helpful, thanks for the link! I've seen variation CLs but couldn't find images. I see there's some here. This is a must as I sift thru a jumbo case. I was getting dizzy trying to decipher what's variation and what's base.
