Description

1998 Stadium Club is a 400-card set released in two series of 200 cards. For some strange reason, Series One contained the odd numbered base cards and Series Two included even numbered cards.

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)
