1998 Stadium Club is a 400-card set released in two series of 200 cards.  For some strange reason, the first series is known as the "Odd Series" and contained the odd numbered base cards (1-399) and the Even Series included even numbered cards (2-400).  


Two separate Cal Ripken, Jr. Sound Chip cards were distributed as box toppers in Home Team Advantage boxes.

Trimuvirate is a 54-card die-cut set exclusive to retail packs.  The set is grouped into 18, three-card "Triumvirates" (usually three players on the same team) with each individual card sequentially-numbered with an A, B, or C suffix.  Each card is die-cut so that when all three cards in a Triumvirate are together, they form one larger card.  Triumvirates T1-T8 are exclusive to Series One or "Odd Series" retail packs and have a "saw blade" design; while T9-T18 are in Even Series (Series Two) packs and have a "Glove" design.

Each card is available in three different editions.


40 Livan Hernandez
* Luminous (Chrome finish)
* Luminescent (Chrome Refractor finish)
* Illuminator (Acetate card with Refractor-like finish)


41 Heathcliff Slocumb
Luminous is considered the "base" version with Luminescent and Illuminator as parallels.  Luminescent and Illuminator can be difficult to differentiate, particularly when viewing online, or just from the front.  The above pictures of Ken Griffey, Jr's. T16B show the easiest visual cue.  Luminous and Luminescent (top) maintain a similar pattern across the entire back of the card.  The Illuminator (bottom) features the silhouette of the player image from the front of the card.


42 Jacob Cruz
Copyright information, MLB and MLBPA Logos, and card number are also moved from their normal locations on the back, to spaces that fit within the player's silhouette.


43 Barry Bonds
We estimate the production of each Triumvirate


44 Dave Magadan
* Luminous: Odd Series: 1450 copies; Even Series: 1050 copies
* Luminescent: Odd Series: 400 copies; Even Series: 300 copies
* Illuminator: Odd Series: 200 copies; Even Series: 150 copies

Description

1998 Stadium Club is a 400-card set released in two series of 200 cards. For some strange reason, the first series is known as the "Odd Series" and contained the odd numbered base cards (1-399) and the Even Series included even numbered cards (2-400).

Two separate Cal Ripken, Jr. Sound Chip cards were distributed as box toppers in Home Team Advantage boxes.

Subsets include: Prime Rookies (even-numbered 332-354), Future Stars (odd-numbered 361-379), Draft Picks (odd-numbered 381-399) and Transactions (even-numbered 356-400).

Distribution

Retail: 24 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: $2)

Hobby: 24 packs per box, nine cards per pack (MSRP: $3)

HTA: 11 packs plus one Cal Ripken, Jr. "Screenplay Sound Chip" card per box, 15 cards per pack (MSRP: $5)

Trimuvirate is a 54-card die-cut set exclusive to retail packs. The set is grouped into 18, three-card "Triumvirates" (usually three players on the same team) with each individual card sequentially-numbered with an A, B, or C suffix. Each card is die-cut so that when all three cards in a Triumvirate are together, they form one larger card. Triumvirates T1-T8 are exclusive to Series One or "Odd Series" retail packs and have a "saw blade" design; while T9-T18 are in Even Series (Series Two) packs and have a "Glove" design.

Each card is available in three different editions.

  • Luminous (Chrome finish)
  • Luminescent (Chrome Refractor finish)
  • Illuminator (Acetate card with Refractor-like finish)

Luminous is considered the "base" version with Luminescent and Illuminator as parallels. Luminescent and Illuminator can be difficult to differentiate, particularly when viewing online, or just from the front. The above pictures of Ken Griffey, Jr's. T16B show the easiest visual cue. Luminous and Luminescent (top) maintain a similar pattern across the entire back of the card. The Illuminator (bottom) features the silhouette of the player image from the front of the card.

Copyright information, MLB and MLBPA Logos, and card number are also moved from their normal locations on the back, to spaces that fit within the player's silhouette.

We estimate the production of each Triumvirate

  • Luminous: Odd Series: 1450 copies; Even Series: 1050 copies
  • Luminescent: Odd Series: 400 copies; Even Series: 300 copies
  • Illuminator: Odd Series: 200 copies; Even Series: 150 copies

Exclusive to Hobby and HTA packs, this 36-card set features on-card autographs of two different players. Cards CS1-CS18 were in Odd Series packs, while CS19-CS36 were in the Even Series. Each player signed three different cards with three different players at three different scarcities. Group "A" cards are the scarcest while group "C" is the most available.

The specific odds of finding a Co-Signer are as follows.

  • Odd Series Group A: 1:4372 Hobby, 1:2623 HTA
  • Odd Series Group B: 1:1457 Hobby, 1:874 HTA
  • Odd Series Group C: 1:121 Hobby, 1:73 HTA
  • Even Series Group A: 1:4702 Hobby, 1:2821 HTA
  • Even Series Group B: 1:1567 Hobby, 1:940 HTA
  • Even Series Group C: 1:131 Hobby, 1:78 HTA

NOTE: Sandy Alomar, Jr. told Beckett in 1998 that he and his brother Roberto signed only 25 copies of their Even Series Group A card -- although no cards in this set are serial-numbered. Based on this information, we estimate that the production of each Even Series Group B card is 75 copies, and each Even Series Group C card is 900 copies.
