Spring Break Pack Bust: 2016 Stadium Club

Well, since our quest to find a card shop in Hot Springs went belly-up, I ran into the Walmart here and snagged a pack of 2016 Stadium Club. I believe this is the first time I've even see these. They are certainly a throwback to the glory days of Stadium Club, and in this case, that's not a bad thing.

I love the full-card images and the photography on the cards. The subject matter is a matter of debate, for sure, but I guess so long as it is baseball, we're okay, right?

I didn't pull any current Indians players, but I did pull former Tribers and some stars/HOFers from days gone by. Excuse the image quality as I am posting these while sitting at the table in the "resort" room where my family is staying during our Spring Break.








*Note: The place we are staying deems itself a "resort," though I would argue it is a hotel that happens to be lakeside... Maybe that qualifies it as a resort... Story for another day.

  1. Adam Jones! He's one of my favorite baseball players. Fun-loving and a terrific athlete.

    1. I'll stick that one in the mailer I'm still putting together for the PAD from previous seasons. Enjoy!

  2. Love that Carl Edwards from the first image - it's just such a fun shot that perfectly encapsulates spring training baseball.

  3. That's a great pack. Jones looks like he's contemplating giving himself a pie in the face. Love the Williams and the Johnson.

  4. Before you book a hotel next year, call ahead to make sure they have a scanner! :-) ha ha
