A second trip to Target shortly after the trip when I bought the Archives I posted about, found me in the card aisle where all they now had left was a single pack of Stadium Club. I bought it of course because I love to inflict pain upon myself. Let's see how frustrating this will be.
Not a bad start, but I am always hoping to pull an Angels card. I do like Joey Votto but it's not a card I'll keep.
Three Marlins in a row. It's going downhill fast.
Followed by three Cardinals in a row. Nice collation Topps. Keep an eye on the Goldschmidt.
ANOTHER Goldschmidt, chrome version. The Paige red parallel is kinda cool.
Then this pack went straight to hell.
Of all the teams, of all the players on those teams, these three.
Ha! I just posted a similar-themed write up of my bad Stadium Club coalition! There's definitely something amiss about the product this year!
ReplyDeleteAt least you didn’t get more Orioles, or even worse, and Yankee$.
ReplyDeleteThe regular Goldschmidt wins it.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I collect all 3 of those PINK players.
ReplyDeleteCompletely understand the feeling about the last three. I opened up a blaster earlier and it was full of pink cheater, er...Astros cards. If I knew Johnny collected those guys, he definitely would have gotten them.
ReplyDeleteSatchel Paige.
ReplyDeleteStadium Club collation is trash this year, I had a similar issue with the hobby box I ripped for our group break: https://fanofreds.blogspot.com/2024/11/box-review-2024-stadium-club-hobby.html . First "F" grade I've given out to a box since 2000!
ReplyDeleteGlad I only joined breaks for SC this year. Packs would've pissed me off so badly.
ReplyDeleteI have been on the hunt for the Joey Votto. A friend of mine is a big fan of Votto. I like that Adley Rutschman card too as he is one of my player collections.
ReplyDeleteJust saw another post where the blogger got a bunch of Yankees. You didn't get any... but two-thirds of your pack were Astros, Marlins, or Cardinals. C'mon Topps... work on your team collation.
ReplyDeleteIt started out ok with 3 teams represented. I have a pack with 7 Padres (3 base, 3 pink, 1 insert).
