Artifacts Retail Exclusive in Hobby box?

[Burner]

So I bought a box of Artifacts (Hobby) on monday and pulled a Carlo Colaiacovo Authentic Jersey Swatch (single swatch), unnumbered.

I'm looking at the checklist today and it says these are retail exclusives yet my box is CLEARLY marked hobby, and the price tag justifies that as well.

So how does this happen? Are there retail specific cards floating around in Hobby boxes?

I found it strange that the card wasn't numbered. From my experience all non-base cards in this set are numbered.

most likely just didn't get numbered going through the process... it happens.

naw, the 2 retail exclusves in the set (frozen artifacts and treasured swatches) aren't numbered and only have 1 swatch.

The hobby version of FA & TS have 2 swatches; jersey or patch or both.

Is that guaranteed to be Stamkos?

Maybe they ran outta cards for Hobby boxes, and thought wè`ll slip in a few retail cards, no one will notice.

I mean, I'm not bothered by pulling the card. I just found it weird that I pulled a non-numbered card in artifacts: a set deep in serial numbers.

I just hope it's not too common. It's not like these packs are cheap
