Random Card Of The Day:2024 Stadium Club Virtusos Of Verlocity Jo Adell

Breakin' Wax:2021 Stadium Club Baseball Blaster Box

I was fortunate enough to walk into Walmart last week and actually find a few things on the shelf. It doesn't happen often as the vendor doesn't put up a lot of stock when they come, but I try to at least find something I want from the rubble.

I didn't have many choices to choose from. 2021 Topps Series 2 blasters, there was three of them, I already acquired what I needed from that so no longer needed it. 2021 Score football, that seems to be the one product I can find and have way too much of. And then there was two blasters of Stadium Club baseball 2021. I grabbed one of those despite reviewing the hobby box already but still was missing the Griffey and Jeter base (I did acquire these after this thanks to my buddy Grady)

Every blaster box of Stadium Club comes with 8 packs of 5 cards. They also come with an oversize, though not that large, Master Photo card.

 

I opened up the blaster and pulled out the packs. I then began to question where the Master Photo was, which was in there unwrapped and tucked off to the side and hidden almost into the box. I wonder how many of those get thrown away by mistake. 

Now onto the rest of the break (I excluded the base and the nameless base rookies),

Red Foil

Black Foil

Superstar Duos Aaron Judge/Stanton

Triumuirates (was disappointed in these this year with no foil or shine to them)

Stadium Club Greats

Stadium Club Greats Red Foil (think odds were 1:191 packs) of the greatest player in MLB history.

Not too bad for a blaster, I have seen much worse. This Griffey by far was the highlight.

Let me know in comments if you busted one of these and tell me how you did!

Hopefully I will find some Prizm Draft football the next time I am out. I have been wanting to open some of that but usually anything with the name Prizm in it doesn't last too long.

The First Unraveling

It's time to reveal Cube #1 in my box of goodies from Wes over at Area 40 blog. I won't be showing off every card from each of the cubes, just the key ones from each.

I will say though that these cubes gave me so many mixed emotions. They brought me back to my childhood collecting, they showed me things I haven't seen before, there were surprises and never ending fun in each one. If these were sold in stores, they would sell like hot cakes! Especially for us bloggers who I know would enjoy opening something like this. Wes Repacks....

This cube kicks off with Jose Reyes at the top. Not sure which Upper Deck product this was from, but once again I always enjoy a clear full bleed photo from Upper Deck.

Jo Adell has a bright future with the Angels and this is another card for my rookies PC of him. As always I am chasing the next big rookie..hitter that is.

Speaking of talent, how good has this guy been since he has been with the Nationals? This is my first rookie card of him. Glad to finally have one. Normally I don't chase pitchers, except Randy Johnson but there are many reasons for that, but if they fall into my lap I will take em.

I got Bip'd!

San Diego Chicken. As creepy as he looks, I have been wanting to add some of these older versions of this card. The only one I have is the newer versions.

I hadn't seen these Mascot Madness hologram inserts til my last Wes mail day. I may try to build this set now. Youppi is a new one I didn't have.

Pedro Prism. I have always loved this line. Both 1994 and 1995 looked amazing for football and baseball. I am still hunting down my 1995 Prism football set and still need the gold parallel of Rodney Hampton from it.

Some IP and TTM autographs. Gary Gaetti, George Foster, Bill Fahey, and Gabe Gagne. These old school guys really know how to sign. However, out of these names, I think Gaetti is the only one I actually watched play.

After looking through Cube 1, I felt like Santiago on this Gallery Of Stars card.

My face widens even more as we go on. Lot's more to see from the Cubes.
