Othani

Legends / HOF / Retired

<a href="https://imgur.com/D6HFLNb"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/D6HFLNb.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

I included these because I believe they are cool looking. There are a good number of retired, HOF, and legends in this set. I am considering putting a mini set of just the retired (long gone) historical players together.... just a thought...

Base

<a href="https://imgur.com/9cnvXEx"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/9cnvXEx.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

107 unique base cards of the set of 300 or 35.6% received.

Stadium Club is a middle of the road issue. The photos are high quality and look fantastic. The cards are high gloss on the front and semi gloss on the reverse. The foil imprinting does not interfere with the photos and the info on the reverse includes complete Major League stats and if the player is current, their 2018 stats. A short write up is included with a highlight of their career.

Stadium Club is a good issue for the set builder. One should need 3-5 boxes to complete the base set. Boxes here in O'do are going for $80 to $90 per box. One can find the various parallels, red, black foils, B & W cards, and one card that I did not receive is the 1st day of priniting (Stadium Club foil logo on it....) The autos are indeed on card blue Sharpee autos. I have not seen and huge names on the cards i.e. Trout, Bryant, Othani, -- might be in there, but I haven't seen them.

Overall grade A

Go buy a bunch of boxes and send the Rays parallels, inserts, and autos to me!

An additional note, I just collated the box I had previously purchased and the box received from Topps.... nearly identical base cards.... I only added maybe 7 cards to my set.... pretty unfortunate....

Duane,

I bought two hobby boxes and some retail and the collation is horrible. For a set with 301 base cards, the extras should be better spread out.

I hardly pulled any Rays worth trading, but I do a need few base to finish the set and I would like a shot at the red parallels.
I have a few bigger name parallels that I could trade towards them.

LMK and I can get you list by tomorrow night.

Thanks,

Todd

I have a few Rays autos to choose from that I would trade for the foils. Also, is the Touki auto still available?

2019 Bowman Tobias Myers Purple (Blue Auto) Card PA-TM /250
2019 Gypsy Queen Willy Adames Blue Auto Card GQA-WA

Also have these:

2018 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor Chris Archer Card 102 /50
2018 Topps Chrome Negative Jacob Faria Card 57

Thanks,

I have always love Stadium Club, other than the collation. Still awesome looking cards though. And great pull of the Vlad. I didn't know it was an SP, which means it's probably another one of his cards I won't be pulling.

Great review, as usual

I read the Vlad isn't as hard a pull as it sounds. I opened alot and pulled two. Considering the amount I broke, I should have easily made a set and was several short.

Good to know, thanks. I hate when Topps makes the SP's out of the top rookies. Of course if I just wait for Topps Update, I should be okay

Todd -- I am only interested in the Adames auto. Touki is spoken for.... I do have some red foil. Which ones do you need?

Duane

 

[Rhubarb_Runner]

I wrote about this year's set on my blog; Topps really, really did a great job with their photography.

In addition, we've determined that the Killebrew card is from the 1968 All-Star Game in Houston, and he's riding the cart following his injury in that game: https://gfycat.com/unpleasantgreendragonfly

I'll have my list up to date tonight and I'll let you know which red foils I can use from your list.

Thanks,
