August 2012 Affordable Group Break - 1995 Stadium Club Series 2

We keep plugging along on - now on our 7th box - Series 2 of '95 TSC.  This box pretty much carries over the same things from Series 1 - Virtual Reality parallels 1 per pack and the same 4 inserts seeded 1:24 packs (Ring Leader Phone Card, Ring Leader, Clear Cut Finest & Super Skills)


Love that Tony Gwynn
Cover Story is a new subset in Series 2.


The Best Seat in the House returns w/ more great photography.  I'm sure BA Benny will get a kick out of that Mets card tagging out a slow Braves base runner!


More Virtual Reality parallels


This Ring Leaders Phone Card is of the Silver variety (1:7 between all the phone cards) and will go to the White Sox.


The Ring Leader Power Matrix again goes to a team that wasn't claimed.  It'll be randomed off between the teams that don't have an insert.


Clear Cut Finest are some sharp looking cards in hand.  The Phillies card was actually stuck to the back of the phone card so the box actually yielded two Clear Cut cards...yeah for us!


Super Skills this time is of Paul O'Neill of the Yankees.  The Bronx Bombers are starting to gain some insert momentum!


I thought the Series 1 box has a better player selection and photography, but the upgraded phone card and extra insert in this box made up for the other shortcomings.

  1. I thought that I'd seen all of the coolest Gwynn cards, but I guess I missed one! Fortunately, it'll be making it's way into my collection now! I'll need to do some research and figure out what the story is behind that huge bat and bench. Loving this break!!!
