A #CrackinWaxMailDay from @CrackinWax rolls out the newest Stadium Club offering.
Stadium Club is here again, and it looks fantastic! Well, mostly fantastic. I'll make a couple of counterpoints at the end. I bought in to a quarter-case break over at Crackin' Wax once again, and came away really impressed with the set as a whole.
You never see baseball cards with photos like these. Yadi is jogging past the NLCS 2019 logo. I, uh, wish this series had gone better for the home team, though.
Here's another unique shot. The sleeve of the umpire creeps into the shot.
Ozzie!
I see the same photos of Stan the Man over and over again, usually from certain Panini products. I've probably seen this before, but it looks a little fresher than normal to me.
Here's KK in a spring training game.
Junior Fernandez shows off the road Saturday night powder blues.
We've seen a similar shot to this in a past Stadium Club set (Randal Grichuk if I'm not mistaken), but it still looks really cool.
I should probably do a Getty Images search on some of these photos to see if any of the photos used on cards were from any of the games I attended last season. If so, I'd probably turn into one of those rainbow collectors.
Here's a few more. I love all of these.
What I don't love is the inserts, for the most part. I haven't really seen any Stadium Club inserts that I've liked in recent years aside for those Triumvirate cards that they used to make. This one is especially unpleasant.
Domingo Leyba isn't a Cardinal, of course. I'm just showing this off in case there's any interest in Diamondbacks cards. I keep drawing their number as my random team in breaks.
There was one more card from last week's breaks that I wanted to show off here. I have the whole 2020 Topps Pro Debut team set already, but in the jumbo boxes you can occasionally pull Chrome cards. I didn't get any of the regular Chrome cards, but did end up with a numbered (to 99) refractor of one of the Cardinals top prospects. Not bad, not bad at all!
