Checklist

Base Set

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2003) AND (setname = 'Stadium Club') AND (num < 101); </sql2wiki>

Future Stars/First Year Players

NOTE: Each Future Star/First Year Player has two different cards: One exclusive to Hobby and HTA packs, the other exclusive to retail packs. There is nothing on the card identifying whether it came from a Hobby or retail pack (Thanks Topps!). A set is considered complete with either one.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 2003) AND (setname = 'Stadium Club') AND (num > 100); </sql2wiki>

Parallels

All 125 base cards are available in the following parallels.

• Royal Gold
• Photographer's Proof (serial-numbered to 299 copies)

NOTES

• Royal Gold is printed on a thicker gauge of cardstock and can be seen as an anti-packsearching device. Packs that have a game-used relic will not have a Royal Gold.
• As with the base set, there are two different versions for cards #101-#125 for both parallels. This means, that there are two different Royal Gold and two different Photographer's Proof parallels, each serial-numbered to 299 copies, for the last 25 cards.
