A couple weeks ago in my review of 2008 Stadium Club Baseball, I said that singles from this year’s product should be very affordable after awhile and I appear to be correct since I picked up two Morneau cards from the product for pretty darn cheap.
The first card is 
the “1st Day Issue” variation of Justin’s base card that you see to the left. Normally, I don’t really go fo base cards but I like the base cards from Stadium Club because of the photography and the fact that they are thick. You kinda feel as though you have something more than just a regular old base card. Now I really have no clue what “1st Day Issue” means so if any of you do, please let me know. To me it just seems like another cheap way for Topps to serial number a card that most people wouldn’t care about. Personally, I know I could care less what it means, I know I got the card for $0.99 and that’s good enough for me.
The other card I picked up was this “Triumvirate” triple relic autographed card. I believe all of the Triumvirate cards are numbered to 99. This card features two jersey swatches with a bat piece in between. I saw a lot of these on ebay but I went with this one because the two jersey swatches were different colors and I felt that made for a better looking card than those with dark swatches on the outside. Although, I’m really struggling to figure out where they got an orange jersey swatch from the Twins uniforms. Hmm…
Like I said before, the Stadium Club cards are very nice but I wouldn’t buy a box of them in hopes of hitting something I want. If your favorite player has a card in the product, do yourself a favor and chase one of them down for your collection. The prices for these cards are surpisingly low on the secondary market and you’ll be happy with your purchase.
