2016 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Cards

Has anyone else run across a Sandy Koufax Members Only card? I received one in my pack and can’t seem to find any others listed anywhere so that I could get an idea of value.
Thanks!

Any news on the mystery redemptions? I pulled three of them!

I am shocked at how many autos/ #’d / Triumvirate inserts I have gotten in the Blasters this year. I have yet to purchase a hobby because I have been having really good luck with the $20 Blasters. Also been having good luck with Chrome as well as far as autos go and that never happened last year from the Blasters. Trust me, my luck stinks but not this year apparently. My first blaster I pulled a GOLD Corey Seager # /25! from that moment on of course I bought the rest off the shelf. Only 7 cards short of a full set with 8 Blaster buys. Also pulled 3 Buybacks – Bonds/Chipper/Smoltz or Glassine (I forget). This product is tight!

I love it. Great pictures, great feel, nice set.

Just opened up four hobby boxes, which left me 12 cards short of a full set. Beautiful cards as expected, and nice thick card stock. Autographs were of nobodies. Inserts are not too attractive in my opinion, except the die-cuts which are nice. Would like to see more/better inserts and less no-name autographs.

Great looking cards, nice inserts, lots of rookies and redemption autos are super !! How can one go wrong on this product ? ! 5-Star product for the cost !

The pictures are always great with these cards. I am not a fan of the die cut due to easily being damaged. There was a couple of cards that were damaged by the wrapping machine as the creases lined up with the box. The Black foil parallels look awful. I just dont understand who approved those. I also got a 1993 Barry Bonds Stadium Club card. No stamps, no auto, no nothing. With it being the 1993 card I thought maybe they forgot the auto. I looked everywhere on topps websites and all they say is stamped buybacks.

Really, who wants a 1993 Barry Bonds Stadium Club ungraded card. I can go buy a case of these cards for $20.00.

I also do not like the distribution of the cards throughout the packs. They appear to have standard packs that have the same main cards with only the inserts being different. Tons of duplicates.

I opened 2 hobby boxes and 4 blasters.

1 die cut Brooks Robinson Legend.
4 Triumvirate
Josh Donaldson – Luminescent
Buster Posey – Illuminator (Blaster)

Carson Smith
1 Black Parallel Auto

I love the look and the stock thickness is perfect for a card. I didn’t take any stars away from the fact that some of my cards are sticking to each other. So I would advise putting them in penny sleeves. While I had no damage from unsticking them apart, I can imagine if they are tucked in a shoebox for awhile the results may not be the same.

As for the Buyback question of whether they are stamped or not. I got a 1998 Barry Bonds and it is not stamped and has no other notation of being a BuyBack. It’s not touched.

I really enjoy this product, probably my favorite. Collecting the set and great pictures of some of my favorite players to name a few. I enjoy the parallels although I think one more numbered card would be cool, something like a negative look. It’s at a good price for what you get and there is plenty at retail stores as well. The rainbow foil card is one of the best insert parallels in the game!

Lou Casa … you pulled a Stadium Club Buyback card …. they are not stamped or anything

Love the Stadium Club Series! Beautiful HD resolution cards and fun fantastic inserts! By far the best product to buy for casual collectors as well as die hard fans! I do have a question though, what is this Tim Lincecum card #2 I pulled from a pack but it’s from 2008 SC set. Is this a rare throwback card? If so, why isn’t it in the checklist? Someone help me with this one

Is the Daniel Murphy (card # 202) an uncorrected error ??

the back of the one I have has someone’s Major League Pitching Record instead of Murphy’s Major league Batting Record … any news on this ?

Gave, a “buy-back” is simply added content, I.E Topps and their “Million Card Give-Away.”

The short and easy answer…most collectors will NOT want their cards embossed with, “buy-back.” If a dude with a Jones PC had a choice of ’99 SC issues…and one was marked “Buy-Back” and one was not…9 of 10 will gravitate to the unblemished card. Where the Buy-Back comes from isn’t relevant….so long as the issue is tight and gradeable.
Babe, while I, personally have never encountered a collector willing to pay a premium for such cards… there are always niche collectors out there.
Hope this helps!

My buddy hit an Instavision Highlight in a blaster – so not hobby only apparently.

So what’s with the Buybacks that are not stamped? I got a 1999 Chipper Jones, but how would anyone know it was pulled from 2016 Stadium Club? Does that even matter?

If, in great literature, “the word is the thing?” then surely powerful photography defines great trading cards.
This iteration of the venerable Stadium Club brand is defined by the compelling images that comprise the product. The photos…which are mounted upon sturdier stock than SC collectors are accustomed to, are crisp, well-composed, and each image tells a story.
From Lou Gehrig’s smiling visage to Jackie Robinson pounding around the basepaths to Mike Trout and his life-sized bobble head, the images Topps selected for the product are brilliant. That said, and while compelling images greatly enhance demand, this product is still driven by….autos! …Hard Autos ….hand-signed autos….on-card autos, whatever you call ’em….whatever helps you sleep at night, Stadium Club has ’em. The collation could be better, and I miss the days where a hobby box of “Stadium Club” meant that an eye-poppin’ “Co-Signers” on-card dual auto would emerge from the great pile of silver-foil wrappers, but it is hard to argue with the product Topps has delivered.
All things being equal, I think I’d see fit to stash a couple of boxes before the secondary market finishes shrugging off its early summer slumber. Stadium Club has a committed collecting base, and dollar figures for this product…in prior years, have been known to rise by as much as 25%.

I love this set, pics are awesome, card feel is great. But my 3 boxes had some AWFUL collation. I got 2 and 3 of some cards and none of many more. 3 boxes should yield roughly 300 base cards…which it did…the only problem is I’m missing 90 for a set and have 100 plus double and triples. Need another box and some good luck that I don’t get another of the same box again. It’s like buying Blasters at the Hobby level now. At least buying retail comes with the expectation of doubles….Come on Topps get with it.

Was able to pull a Nolan Ryan 1993 buyback auto 1/5! Other than his, I’ve only seen Don Mattingly buyback autos out there. Anyone else know of the others?

Pictures are great and cards feel nice overall. Other autos received were pretty subpar, but bought 2 boxes and didn’t get a single duplicate card!

My guess is the bigger name auto’s will be SP’S. I bought 3 boxes and got 6 subpar auto’s. Great photos. Also I pulled a 1st day issue and it’s not numbered. I don’t know if none of them are or just mine.

Topps has a history of shorting the Checklist. It was very evident in Football in the late 1970s. The NFC West teams such as the Falcons, Saints, 49ers, and AFC West trams Bronco’s Chiefs Seahawks and Chargers tended to have less players. Also, the Tampa Bay Bucs. In the 1970s they also did it with their NHL and NBA cards but it was not as evident as they were smaller set sizes.

I know the cards will be great but the checklist just like every other Topps product is so one sided. I love the Orioles but sometime I wish I was a Dodgers, Giants, Cubs, Yankees, or a Red Sox fan. Then I would get a card for every single player on the team. And still no Mark Trumbo!!!!!!! The guy has been a top the Home Run leaders all year long. The O’s traded for him back in December and only one card for him so far. Every one else that was traded in the offseason or signed already has a bunch of cards, except Trumbo.

Mike – I couldn’t agree with you more! Less hits and more parallels and inserts! I am giving this product a 5/5 for now based on the prelim pics I have seen of the card stock pics and inserts. Would drop this to a 4/5 if the hobby box price comes out as super high.

Can’t wait. Hope they never change this product. Interesting to see what a two hit SC product will cost. I didn’t care too much about my hits because I was going after the sets. Almost done with my gold set and black set.

The hits are a bonus but definitely not why I buy this product. I would like it to have no guarantee of a hit and just have more parallels and inserts. Hits drive the price on boxes up too much and when you are looking to just build sets. It sucks to wait so long till price drops.

GREAT! They did a great job!

Beam Team!
