With Stadium Club we see another release during the summer of the hobby spike. Other releases this summer are almost immediately spiking in price, to the point that people are going around, cleaning out retail and immediately trying to resell for three times the price online. It’s not really clear what’s driving this excitement. Is it the rush for the hot new prospect? Maybe. It doesn’t feel like a huge influx of people trying to collect the cards, but that’s difficult to be sure in the middle of a release.

This isn’t normally a prospect heavy release, so despite high quality images on high quality cards, with on card autographs, for whatever reason, the release just isn’t as popular. The base set of 300 cards features many stars from today, as well as heroes from the past. There are the usual parallels involving different foil on the cards, as well as a subset with the cards in a chrome finish. You also have a few regular insert sets back again this year, but inserts are not really what drives this product.

Each box contains 16 packs of 8 cards and advertises 2 autographs per box.

This box contained:

108 Base (36% of 300 card set)
2 Base Black Foil Parallels
6 Base Red Foil Parallels
1 Base Photographer’s Proof Parallel
1 Chrome
1 Chrome Refractor
2 Bash and Burn
2 Emperors of the Zone
1 In the Wings
2 Power Zone
1 Autograph Dylan Cease RC
1 Autograph Josh Rojas RC
1 Oversized Boxloader Yordan Alvarez RC
