When it comes to sets that I identify my youth with, its a very short list. Topps Chrome, Topps Finest, Upper Deck and Stadium Club. Ever since Stadium Club went away and came back, there have been a number of attempts at recapturing the glory that this set once had. Last year’s set was the closest I believe its come to what I loved about the product, but this year seems to be that much better.

Check out some of the main hits:

2015 Topps Stadium Club Mike Trout Lone Star Signatures Auto

2015 Topps Stadium Club Kris Bryant RC Auto

2015 Topps Stadium Club Mariano Rivera Lone Star Auto

2015 Topps Stadium Club Bryce Harper Crystal Ball Case Hit /30

To me, Stadium Club was always about the full bleed action photos that highlighted the dynamic atmosphere of the game, combined with some crazy inserts that 13 year old Gellman loved to find.

What we see in the set this year is just that – ESPECIALLY in the way the inserts and the photography. There are some incredibly interesting photos in this set that I absolutely love, and even more interesting inserts that hearken back to what I always gravitated towards.

The autographs are simple and pretty understated, but I dont think autographs are really what this set is all about. I am beyond excited about the buyback autographs, where Topps took cards from those nostalgic sets of my younger years and had them signed by the players. Just awesome. They are crazy rare with only 5 copies, but man they are amazing looking.

This isnt necessarily a box I am going to run out and buy, but I would definitely be chasing singles like crazy if the people I collect were in this product. Boxes wont set you back a ton, and you get to open a bunch of packs. Definitely a fun rip. I think Topps has done a pretty good job with Stadium Club this year, and I am curious to see if there are more surprises we have yet to uncover.
