I haven't spotted a description regarding the difference between the Hobby and Retail base from this years Titanium therefore, could someone on here plmk what it is. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Hits from titanium reatail tin

I bought one and I got a rc /299, a red parralel rc /99 (I know there is also gold version /10) and I also got a game worn gear.

Hope it helps

I bought one and got crap.
Got a RC #/299 (Shawn Lalonde) and a Red RC #/99 (Boone Jenner which sells for $4 on ebay) That was all I got. I did get the Carey Price base for my PC though. I would love to hear what other people are pulling out of these and if it is worth while. I took a shot because I had such great luck with Select blasters.
 
Retail tins contain the following:

30 total cards plus 1 bonus card which includes:

28 Retail exclusive base cards (standard card stock vs the Hobby foil cards)
1 Retail exclusive Rookie #/299 (with unique photos different than the Hobby)
1 Red or Gold Retail Exclusive parallel
1 Jumbo 5x7 Rookie card

1 in every 4 tins contains an auto, memorabilia, or auto'd memorabilia card.
 
These are pretty decent for $20 and I've had some success selling the parallels while I put together the retail base set. Also snagged a Conacher Red /99 for my PC.

Bad luck for me on the extra auto/mem card, though - 0-for-7...guess I'll have to buy one more...
 
I bought two tins but the second one was missing the 30-card sealed pack.
First tin:
Yakupov oversized card
Matt Irwin RC 113/299
Anders Lee Red RC parallel 89/99.
Plus 28 base cards, including Crosby and Ovechkin.

Second tin:
Yakupov oversized card
That's it.

I went on Panini's website, but they asked for a receipt, which I hadn't kept. Not really worth going through a big hassle for a $20 tin, but I'm wondering if Panini has heard of similar cases where the 30-card sealed pack was missing?
 
Well, whaddya know - I stopped by two different Targets today and bought two more tins - BOTH had the extra card! One had a Metallic Marks Bronze and the other a GWG. Maatta /299 and Toffoli /99 in the second one, too!

Hey, if anyone needs help completing their base retail set, send me a PM. If I have them, they're yours for the price of shipping ($1.75 for up to about 8 cards, I think). I am only missing base card 20.
