2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball | Review, Autographs, Checklist And Box Break

If collectors have only one baseball card set to pursue this season, 2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball is making a strong push for their hearts and wallets. Last year, we said Topps should consider making Stadium Club their flagship brand, and 2019’s release has only further reinforced that theory. With outstanding photography for the current stars, rookies and retired veterans in the set, 2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball is a winner on all fronts.

2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Base Set and Parallels

The 301-card base set contains an array of interesting parallels. Collectors will find red and black logo parallels, as well as toned (sepia or black and white) cards. Scarcer variations contain Members Only or First Day Issue insignias. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Pete Alonso rookie cards set alongside the fabulous legends cards will create intrigue for collectors of all ages.

2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Inserts

Ninety different subjects make up the Chrome Insert set (1:16 packs), with these inserts coming in scarcer colored refractor versions (Orange #/99, Gold Minted, and 1/1 SuperFractors). The Chrome inserts feature different photos than the base set, giving collectors a second attractive card of their favorite player to track down. Other insert sets include Beam Team, Emperors of the Zone, Power Zone, and Warp Speed—all coming with multiple colored parallels.

Another bonus is the oversized box topper cards. Measuring approximately 4”x6” these blowups make a beautiful display for a desk or a shelf.

2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Autographs

Topps guarantees two on-card autographs in each box. A majority of collectors will wind up with autographed base cards as pictured below; however, some with extreme luck will find signed versions of Stadium Club inserts, or Co-Signers Autographs that are serial-numbered to 10 or less.

While the baseball card manufacturer has returned to a familiar set of Hall of Famers for 2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball, the rarely seen photos keep the legends fresh. When they are paired with the current players, the set is masterful in capturing their excitement, grace, and skill. The combination makes 2019 Topps Stadium Club Baseball the high-water mark for Topps' annual releases.
