2017 Topps Stadium Club Hobby Box

In honor of the World Series starting tonight let's do some baseball!  I fell in love the 2017 Topps Stadium Club cards the first time I picked them up so I grabbed a hobby box at a local show.  My earlier review can be found here.  I'm very happy with my box and the pull.  I wish the two autographs, which are two per box, were better but who am I to complain.  I just love these cards and the photos on them.  I also had a great pull.  Many of all-time favorite Red Sox to include Yaz, Jason Varitek and David Ortiz are among plenty of others who will go in my personal collection.  I could go on and on but won't take up too much space.  I think the Mark McGwire card is my favorite and there were plenty of other cards I would have enjoyed scanning in but I need to make this a manageable post.  I hope you like.

2017 Topps Stadium Club

Picked up a few packs of the 2017 Topps Stadium Club baseball cards.  As always you get a little higher price tag, heavier stock, nice design, colorful back of the card, and great photography.  These came 12 to a pack priced at $5.98.  Again a little expensive for my taste but I'm rarely disappointed by this brand.  I enjoyed my pull as well grabbing a few Braves and Red Sox players to include Chipper Jones.  Randy Johnson and Andres Galarraga were the other retired players I grabbed.

  The inserts/parallels in the two packs I opened were a Scoreless Streak and Buster Posey Chrome Gold Minted parallel.  Not sure how many are made of each of the Chrome Gold Parallel but it is a nice looking card.  Overall I like the simple, unobtrusive design and great photographs.  The backs are also nice and colorful with a second photo different from the front.  I'll definitely look for singles from this set and I don't doubt I'll also pick up a few more packs in the coming months as these are some nice cards.
