’16 Stadium Club & ’15 Prism box breaks
I won a gift certificate from Blowout Cards earlier this year and it’d been sitting in my account for months. I decided to use it last week and just a few days ago the boxes arrived. I love Stadium Club and Prizm offered two autos per box at a discounted price so it seemed like a decent buy. Here are the results.
I’ll say this upfront. Panini America’s Prism is always fun to open, although I think we’d all like it more if the cards had logos. I like the design, the quality of the cards and I the parallels. These boxes have two autos and four numbered parallels per box. I did OK given the price point. My autos were James McCann and Addison Russell, which was a parallel. My parallels included a Barry Bonds /125, Stephen Strasburg /99 and Cole Hamels /42.
The real reason I decided to order the cards was because I really like Stadium Club. I love the photos, which is what brings be back to the product every year that Topps decides to bring it back. As you know, each box contains two autographs and a slew of parallels and inserts. My haul wasn’t half bad. The autos included one of a young Mets pitcher Steven Matz whose signature I didn’t already own, and my parallels were solid — black parallels of Corey Seager and Babe Ruth, gold Mike Trout. And I pulled one of those tough (1:256 packs) Triumvirate Illuminators (Prince Fielder) and a photo variation of Greg Maddux.
