It’s the one set where the focus is most definitely on photos. Topps Stadium Club Baseball is built on full-bleed images, many of which are taken from unique angles or show the game in a different light. The 2021 edition is set to arrive June 23.

Insert Cards
This year’s edition will have some new insert sets including Stadium Club Greats, which looks back at memorable cards and players from the past 30 years. Virtual Reality harkens back to the 1995 insert, utilizing statistics from the 2020 season to show what a full season might have looked like.
Superstar Duos is a throwback to a similar insert from 1993 in which two stars share the same card.
