After reading a few positive reviews i decided to grab a few packs of the new Stadium Club. Overall i like the base cards. Great photos for the most part and i did good with the cards i received. My favorite was the black and white of Lou Brock and my oddest was Greg Maddux playing golf. The inserts i was not as thrilled about. Not a big fan of die cuts and i picked a luminous triumvrate of Christian Yelich, who i like, but just not this card. I also got a Legends Ty Cobb which was a nice photo, but again don't like the die cut. The gold foil of Jake Peavy was nice, but not sure why we need a gold foil parallel on a set that already costs about 80 cents a card. Lastly i got a George Springer Crystal Ball insert 54/70 which is pretty odd looking and this took up the whole pack because it is so thick and i almost would rather have just had the base cards. Anyway i think i am holding onto the base cards, but the inserts i described are up for trade. I am heading to a card show tommorrow so i will probably pick up a few more packs, so i guess that means the set is a winner for me.

So i picked up a couple of blaster boxes at Target the other day and one of the inserts i found is confusing me. I almost didnt notice it at first because it has black foil instead of the base silver but it doesnt stand out and when i went to add it to collection i orginally thought it maybe it was one of the black and white foil parallels, but when i did more research i found a bunch of the B&W foils on eBay and they are actually B&W photo versions of the base card with orange foil (i know confusing), when i looked at the other checklists on the site there is white foil, gold foil (which i have a couple of so i know what they look like), and members only. Is there a black foil parallel that we have not included yet? The promos and the blogs i have read do not mention one. Is this supposed to be a white foil card? Any help is appreciated. sorry i didnt know how to add a scan to this forum.

If you post this question to the "Mystery" forum, you would be able to include a scan of the card. I think that is the only forum that allows scans. Sorry, I haven't bought any Stadium Club so I can't help identify your card, but hopefully someone else would know the answer if they saw the scan.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

I usually don't have trouble pasting images into forums.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I posted it again under the mystery forum and added the scan for everyone to see.
Thanks

I added the checklist a few weeks ago under the parallel sets

For some odd reason I haven’t collected Stadium Club since the 90’s. Sure SC has always had the best photo captures overall others this once again made me curious since I read all your reply’s therefore, I went out bought a blaster box and two 12 card value packs and I was very disappointed. I now remember why I stop buying this set.
Out of 12 packs I only pulled to insert cards one black contact sheet of Ellsbury and one True Color which is 1:33 packs of Mike Piazza and those two value packs offer base doubles more than I wanted but not all is lost, I do like the true color cards and a few other insert card sets too. Therefore, I think I’ll buy another blaster or just go all in and buy a box of SC just to see what I can pull from the box.

I bought a hobby box of SC and boy what a gimmick. On the box cover right hand corner it says one insert in every pack well, this wasn’t true I only pulled 5 insert cards out of 16 packs when it said one in every pack. I pulled 8 gold foil and two black foil parallel cards and 6 double cards. For the price I paid this was not worth it even if it gave me two Autos. I know I will not buy another box I think I’ll stick with pulling those cards I need from the shop.

I've bought one pack. No inserts or parallels in mine either.
