Full details
The Snooker900 Hobby Box is designed for dedicated snooker fans and sports memorabilia collectors who want to own a tangible piece of professional snooker history. Its primary appeal lies in the inclusion of authentic, match-used artifacts and rare autographs, providing a premium experience for card enthusiasts; however, prospective buyers should note that because the product relies on randomized pack-pulls, collecting a specific signature or specific patch material is not guaranteed.

FAQs
What is included in every Snooker900 Hobby Box?
Each box contains one guaranteed autograph or authentic patch card and two numbered parallel cards.
Are the patches actually used in professional matches?
Yes, the authentic patch cards feature either real baize cut from match-used snooker tables or fabric from shirts worn by the featured players.
Which legends can I find autographs for?
The set includes signatures from Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry, Mark Selby, Jimmy White, John Higgins, Mark Williams, Stuart Bingham, Neil Robertson, and more.
What does 'numbered parallel' mean?
Numbered parallels are specific variations of a base card that are produced in limited quantities, typically marked with a serial number (e.g., 05/50).
Is there a full set of autographs guaranteed in one box?
No, the cards are randomized within the boxes, so you are not guaranteed a complete set of signatures in a single purchase.
How should I store these cards?
Store them in archival-quality sleeves and top-loaders in a room with controlled temperature and humidity to protect the integrity of the autographs and patches.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty distinguishing authentic patch texture
Use a magnifying glass or high-resolution camera to inspect the weave of the fabric or the nap of the baize to verify the authentic texture.
Card surface showing minor scuffs
Due to the nature of authentic material cards, slight imperfections are common. Use a microfiber cloth specifically designed for hobby use to gently wipe the surface of the plastic holder, not the card itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trading card collection, handle all cards by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin onto the card surface. Authentic patch cards containing match-used baize are thicker than standard base cards; ensure you use specialized 'thick' card sleeves and holders to prevent the card from bending. Store your collection in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the ink on autographs to fade over time. For inventory tracking, many collectors use digital spreadsheets or hobby-specific apps to document their serial numbers from the numbered parallels.
