Yes, those are different. Contenders comes in both retail and hobby. Overpriced and hard to hit in, even in hobby. 90% of the hobby boxes out are junk with $50 in value, if you're lucky $100 worth of value in them. Retail is even worse.
Tendy's optic is a hobby only product. Comes 1 pack per box, 6 cards per box. 2 Base, 2 autos, 1 insert, 1 parallel for $350-400. Plagued by the same value issues and odds as the base Tendy's.
Buy the singles you want. More times than not that will be off ebay. Opening packs is really for the guys that like to lose money. You just have to realize going in on opening packs you probably aren't going to get the same return in value. Sometimes maybe even just a 10% return.
