2015 Topps Stadium Club Baseball offers a larger base set than in recent years and some unique photography to go along with it. The new configuration means no more mini boxes. Instead, Stadium Club moves into foil packs with eight cards in each. There will be 16 packs per box with two autographs in each. A full checklist is below. Boxes (available through the eBay link also below) are selling for around $65-75 each.
The 2014 product featured three mini boxes inside one master box at a slightly higher cost, but including three autographs. Prices on 2014 boxes have now settled into the $55-70 range.
The larger base set may be a sign Topps is moving the product back to its 1990s roots. Once again, the photo quality is where 2015 Stadium Club will hang its hat, offering full-bleed images and some unique shots not typically seen in some sets and Topps promises this year’s cards will be thicker than before.
Old school insert sets True Colors, Crystal Ball and Instavision are making their return according to Topps.
Each Stadium Club Baseball pack will have one base card parallel or insert with Gold Foil versions dropped in at a rate of one per box and White Foil at two per box. One out of three hobby boxes will have Black and White Foil.
There are five parallels among the Stadium Club base cards with some cards far more scarce than others. Here are the print runs for some of the more hard-to-find parallels:
Black foil: print run of 201
Black and white photo (with orange foil): print run of 17
Members Only parallel: print run of 7 (one per case)
Base parallels will also include:
