Random Wax: 2022 Stadium Club Blaster

2023 Stadium ClubFernando Tatis, back this season after injuries and a suspension took away his 2022 season, he had an ok year but like the Padres as a whole had a disappointing season.

These Master Photos inserts aren't something I care much for.  Odd ball size and just doesn't do it for me.
The fun with this set is all about the photos and this design lets them shine.  
Again, consistently good photography.  And retired greats which are always fun.
Team of the Future cards don't resonate with me.  Seem out of place in this brand.  Love that emotion from Chris Sale.
The die-cut Triumvirates insert isn't a bad looking card if you like due cuts. 
Torkelson had a breakout season with 31 homers and 94 runs batted in even if he did hit .233.
Fun photo of The Kid and his pop.
Retired greats shine in this set as well.
Plenty of horizontal offerings.
The Sepia Parallel on that Ryan card.
Fun cards and a good design are always a good thing.  Nice box of cards.

  1. I have found a few of these blasters on the reduced shelves and picked them up. I love the mix of retired stars with current players. Is the Francisco Lindor a black lettered card? If so, I would be interested in it.
